Abstract
Li2O2, as the cathodic discharge product of aprotic Li-O2 batteries, is difficult to electrochemically decompose. Transition-metal oxides (TMOs) have been proven to play a critical role in promoting the formation and decomposition of Li2O2. Herein, a NiO/CNT catalyst was prepared by anchoring a NiO nanosheet on the surface of CNT. When using the NiO/CNT as a cathode catalyst, the Li-O2 battery had a lower overpotential of 1.2 V and could operate 81 cycles with a limited specific capacity of 1000 mA h g−1 at a current density of 100 mA g−1. In comparison, with CNT as a cathodic catalyst, the battery could achieve an overpotential of 1.64 V and a cycling stability of 66 cycles. The introduction of NiO effectively accelerated the generation and decomposition rate of Li2O2, further improving the battery performance. SEM and XRD characterizations confirmed that a Li2O2 film formed during the discharge process and could be fully electrochemical decomposed in the charge process. The internal network and nanoporous structure of the NiO/CNT catalyst could provide more oxygen diffusion channels and accelerate the decomposition rate of Li2O2. These merits led to the Li-O2 battery’s better performance.

Abstract
The all-ceramic RuO2@La0.7Ca0.3CuO3 membrane cathode contributes to an ultra-high capacity of 21 518 mA h g-1 over 110 cycles in Li-O2 batteries. A simple infiltration technique is effective for obtaining a highly active supported RuO2 catalyst, and a solvent with a high donor number should be preferentially chosen because it contributes to a much higher capacity.

Abstract
In electrocatalysis, doping regulation has been considered as an effective method to modulate the active sites of catalysts, providing a powerful means for creating a large variety of highly efficient catalysts for various reactions. Of particular interest, there has been growing research concerning the doping of two-dimensional transition-metal compounds (TMCs) to optimize their electrocatalytic performance. Despite the previous achievements, mechanistic insights of doping regulation in TMCs for electrocatalysis are still lacking. Herein, we provide a systematic overview of doping regulation in TMCs in terms of background, preparation, impacts on physicochemical properties, and typical applications including the hydrogen evolution reaction, oxygen evolution reaction, oxygen reduction reaction, CO2 reduction reaction, and N2 reduction reaction. Notably, we bridge the understanding between the doping regulation of catalysts and their catalytic activities via focusing on the physicochemical properties of catalysts from the aspects of vacancy concentrations, phase transformation, surface wettability, electrical conductivity, electronic band structure, local charge distribution, tunable adsorption strength, and multiple adsorption configurations. We also discuss the existing challenges and future perspectives in this promising field.

Abstract
Li-CO2 batteries are of great interest among researchers due to their high energy density and utilization of the greenhouse gas CO2 to produce energy. However, several shortcomings have been encountered in the practical applications of Li-CO2 batteries, among which their poor cyclability and high charge overpotential necessary to decompose the highly insulating discharge product (Li2CO3) are the most important. Herein, the spinel zinc cobalt oxide porous nanorods with carbon nanotubes (ZnCo2O4@CNTs) composite is employed as a cathode material in Li-CO2 batteries to improve the latter's cycling performance. The ZnCo2O4@CNT cathode-based Li-CO2 battery exhibited a full discharge capacity of 4275 mAh g-1 and excellent cycling performance over 200 cycles with a charge overpotential below 4.3 V when operated at a current density of 100 mA g-1 and fixed capacity of 500 mAh g-1. The superior performance of the ZnCo2O4@CNT cathode composite was attributed to the synergistic effects of ZnCo2O4 and CNT. The highly porous ZnCo2O4 nanorod structures in the ZnCo2O4@CNT catalyst showed enhanced catalytic activity/stability, which effectively promoted CO2 diffusion during the discharging process and accelerated Li2CO3 decomposition at a low charge overpotential.
