First-principles study of the oxygen evolution reaction of lithium peroxide in the lithium-air battery
The lithium-air chemistry is an interesting candidate for the next-generation batteries with high specific energy. However, this new battery technology is facing substantial challenges, such as a high overpotential upon charging, poor reversibility, and low power density. Using first-principles calculations, we study the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) on the low-index surfaces of lithium perox...
متن کاملOxygen‐Rich Lithium Oxide Phases Formed at High Pressure for Potential Lithium–Air Battery Electrode
The lithium-air battery has great potential of achieving specific energy density comparable to that of gasoline. Several lithium oxide phases involved in the charge-discharge process greatly affect the overall performance of lithium-air batteries. One of the key issues is linked to the environmental oxygen-rich conditions during battery cycling. Here, the theoretical prediction and experimental...
متن کاملA Polymer Lithium-Oxygen Battery
Herein we report the characteristics of a lithium-oxygen battery using a solid polymer membrane as the electrolyte separator. The polymer electrolyte, fully characterized in terms of electrochemical properties, shows suitable conductivity at room temperature allowing the reversible cycling of the Li-O2 battery with a specific capacity as high as 25,000 mAh gC(-1) reflected in a surface capacity...
متن کاملVanadium Oxide Nanostructures for Lithium Battery Applications
Lithium and Lithium-ion batteries for portable electronic devices and hybrid electric vehicles have gained great importance for energy storage today. However, how to prepare cathode materials with higher energy density, high potentials, and longer cycle life is still a challenge. Compared with commercial LiCoO2, vanadium oxides have higher specific capacity and interesting layered structures, w...
متن کاملStructured Silicon Anodes for Lithium Battery Applications
Pillar arrays fabricated on silicon substrates have been tested as potential anodes for lithium batteries. Electrodes of array characteristics, diameter 580 6 150 nm; fractional surface coverage 0.34; height 810 nm are reported here. Cyclic voltammetry ~CV! and cyclic galvanostatic tests of alloying/dealloying of electrochemically produced lithium with silicon were carried out, and results corr...
