A Bifunctional Organic Redox Catalyst for Rechargeable Lithium–Oxygen Batteries with Enhanced Performances
نویسندگان
چکیده
An organic bifunctional catalyst poly(2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidinyloxy-4-yl methacrylate) (PTMA) has been prepared and coated on carbon surface during electrode preparation. The PTMA has been applied as an efficient bifunctional catalyst for lithium-oxygen batteries with lower overpotentials, enhanced rate performances, and prolonged cycle life.

A Carbon-Free Ag–Co3O4 Composite as a Bifunctional Catalyst for Oxygen Reduction and Evolution: Spectroscopic, Microscopic and Electrochemical Characterization
A key challenge for rechargeable metal–air batteries is the development of a cost-effective bifunctional catalyst for both oxygen evolution (OER) and reduction (ORR) reactions. Here, we took the advantages of high OER activity of Co3O4 spinel and high ORR activity of Ag to develop a carbon-free oxygen electrode, e.g., for Li–air batteries. The optimized Ag + Co3O4 catalyst was further character...

متن کاملElectrocatalytic performances of g-C3N4-LaNiO3 composite as bi-functional catalysts for lithium-oxygen batteries
A low cost and non-precious metal composite material g-C3N4-LaNiO3 (CNL) was synthesized as a bifunctional electrocatalyst for the air electrode of lithium-oxygen (Li-O2) batteries. The composition strategy changed the electron structure of LaNiO3 and g-C3N4, ensures high Ni(3+)/Ni(2+) ratio and more absorbed hydroxyl on the surface of CNL that can promote the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) an...
