Self-Catalyzed Rechargeable Lithium-Air Battery by in situ Metal Ion Doping of Discharge Products:A Combined Theoretical and Experimental Study

扫码查看
Lithium-air battery has emerged as a viable electrochemical energy technology;yet a substantial overpotential is typically observed,due to the insulating nature of the discharge product Li2O2 that hinders the reaction kinetics and device performance.Furthermore,finite solid-solid/-liquid interfaces are formed between Li2O2 and catalysts and limit the activity of the electrocatalysts in battery reactions,leading to inadequate electrolytic efficiency.Herein,in-situ doping of Li2O2 by select metal ions is found to significantly enhance the lithium-air battery performance,and Co2+stands out as the most effective dopant among the series.This is ascribed to the unique catalytic activity of the resulting Co-Ox sites towards oxygen electrocatalysis,rendering the lithium-air battery self-catalytically active.Theoretical studies based on density functional theory calculations show that structural compression occurs upon Co2+doping,which lowers the energy barrier of Li2O2 decomposition.Results from this study highlight the significance of in situ electrochemical doping of the discharge product in enhancing the performance of lithium-air battery.
