Communications: Elementary oxygen electrode reactions in the aprotic Li-air battery.
We discuss the electrochemical reactions at the oxygen electrode of an aprotic Li-air battery. Using density functional theory to estimate the free energy of intermediates during the discharge and charge of the battery, we introduce a reaction free energy diagram and identify possible origins of the overpotential for both processes. We also address the question of electron conductivity through ...
متن کاملPhenol‐Catalyzed Discharge in the Aprotic Lithium‐Oxygen Battery
Discharge in the lithium-O2 battery is known to occur either by a solution mechanism, which enables high capacity and rates, or a surface mechanism, which passivates the electrode surface and limits performance. The development of strategies to promote solution-phase discharge in stable electrolyte solutions is a central challenge for development of the lithium-O2 battery. Here we show that the...
متن کاملGoldePalladium nanoparticles supported by mesoporous b-MnO2 air electrode for rechargeable Li-Air battery
The electrochemical performance and electrode reaction using AuePd nanoparticle (NP) supported mesoporous b-MnO2 as a cathode catalyst for rechargeable Lithium-Air (Li-Air) battery is reported here for the first time. In this study, AuePd NP-supported mesoporous b-MnO2 was successfully synthesized by hydrothermal process using a silica KIT-6 template. It has an initial discharge capacity of ca....
متن کاملModelling Li Ion Battery Electrode Properties
In recent years, interest in using lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries as power sources for a wide range of devices (particularly portable devices) has grown significantly. There is thus a real need to understand at a fundamental level a wide range of battery performance criteria (energy density, power density, safety, durability, cost). Our working group considered how to model the fundamental elec...
متن کاملSinglet Oxygen during Cycling of the Aprotic Sodium–O2 Battery
Aprotic sodium-O2 batteries require the reversible formation/dissolution of sodium superoxide (NaO2 ) on cycling. Poor cycle life has been associated with parasitic chemistry caused by the reactivity of electrolyte and electrode with NaO2 , a strong nucleophile and base. Its reactivity can, however, not consistently explain the side reactions and irreversibility. Herein we show that singlet oxy...
