The pursuit of rechargeable non-aqueous lithium–oxygen battery cathodes
نویسندگان
چکیده
To satisfy the energy storage needs of society in the long-term, an advance in battery energy density is required. The lithium–oxygen battery is one of the emerging opportunities available for enhanced energy storage. The challenge for the Li–O2 battery is the progress of development of the O2-cathode that allows reversible formation of Li2O2 in a stable electrolyte within its pores. 2012 Elsevier Ltd.

A computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model is developed for rechargeable non-aqueous electrolyte lithium-air batteries with a partial opening for oxygen supply to the cathode. Multi-phase transport phenomena occurred in the battery are considered, including dissolved lithium ions and oxygen gas in the liquid electrolyte, solid-phase electron transfer in the porous functional materials and liqui...
متن کاملNew nanostructured Li2S/silicon rechargeable battery with high specific energy.
Rechargeable lithium ion batteries are important energy storage devices; however, the specific energy of existing lithium ion batteries is still insufficient for many applications due to the limited specific charge capacity of the electrode materials. The recent development of sulfur/mesoporous carbon nanocomposite cathodes represents a particularly exciting advance, but in full battery cells, ...
متن کاملOrganic hydrogen peroxide-driven low charge potentials for high-performance lithium-oxygen batteries with carbon cathodes
Reducing the high charge potential is a crucial concern in advancing the performance of lithium-oxygen batteries. Here, for water-containing lithium-oxygen batteries with lithium hydroxide products, we find that a hydrogen peroxide aqueous solution added in the electrolyte can effectively promote the decomposition of lithium hydroxide compounds at the ultralow charge potential on a catalyst-fre...
متن کاملHigh Capacity, Temperature-Stable Lithium Aluminum Manganese Oxide Cathodes for Rechargeable Batteries
Manganese oxides are of great interest as low cost and environmentally sound intercalation cathodes for rechargeable lithium batteries, but have suffered from limited capacity and instability upon cycling at the moderately high temperatures (50-70°C) encountered in many applications. Here, we show that LixAl0.05Mn0.95O2 of both the monoclinic and orthorhombic ordered rock salt structures exhibi...
