J Colloid Interface Sci 2024; 670:719-728. [PMID: 38788439 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2024.05.144] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/23/2024] [Revised: 05/12/2024] [Accepted: 05/19/2024] [Indexed: 05/26/2024]
Abstract
Nonaqueous Li - O2 battery (LOB) is considered one of the most promising energy storage system due to its ultrahigh theoretical specific capacity (3500 Wh kg-1). Introducing vacancies in CoMn2O4 catalysts is regarded as an effective strategy to enhance the electrochemical performances of LOB. However, the relation between vacancy types in CoMn2O4 and catalytic performances in the LOB remains ambiguous. Herein, ordered porous CoMn2O4 with oxygen and metal vacancies is obtained via solvothermal reaction followed by temperature-controlled calcination using polystyrene spheres as templates. The increase in treatment temperature reduces the content of oxygen vacancies while increasing that of the metal vacancies. Notably, experimental results and theoretical calculations show that oxygen vacancies in CoMn2O4 have a greater influence than metal vacancies in modulating the LiO2 adsorption during the reaction processes and reducing the overpotential. CoMn2O4 synthesized at 500 ℃ (CoMnO-500) with higher oxygen vacancies exhibits stronger adsorption onto the LiO2, facilitating the formation of film-like Li2O2. Therefore, an LOB with the CoMnO-500 catalyst presents the lowest overpotential of 1.2 V and longest cycle lifespan of 286 cycles at a current density of 200 mA g-1. This study offers insights into the effect of CoMn2O4 vacancies on the formation pathway of Li2O2 discharge products.

Abstract
Efficient catalysts are indispensable for overcoming the sluggish reaction kinetics and high overpotentials inherent in Li-O2 batteries. However, the lack of precise control over catalyst structures at the atomic level and limited understanding of the underlying catalytic mechanisms pose significant challenges to advancing catalyst technology. In this study, we propose the concept of precisely controlled pre-lithiated electrocatalysts, drawing inspiration from lithium electrochemistry. Our results demonstrate that Li+ intercalation induces lattice strain in RuO2 and modulates its electronic structure. These modifications promote electron transfer between catalysts and reaction intermediates, optimizing the adsorption behavior of Li-O intermediates. As a result, Li-O2 batteries employing Li0.52RuO2 exhibit ultrahigh energy efficiency, long lifespan, high discharge capacity, and excellent rate performance. This research offers valuable insights for the design and optimization of efficient electrocatalysts at the atomic level, paving the way for further advancements in Li-O2 battery technology.

Abstract
Lithium-oxygen batteries (LOBs) with high energy density are a promising advanced energy storage technology. However, the slow cathodic redox kinetics during cycling causes the discharge products to fail to decompose in time, resulting in large polarization and battery failure in a short time. Therefore, a self-supporting interconnected nanosheet array network NiCo2O4/MnO2 with a Mott-Schottky heterostructure on titanium paper (TP-NCO/MO) is ingeniously designed as an efficient cathode catalyst material for LOBs. This heterostructure can accelerate electron transfer and influence the charge transfer process during adsorption of intermediate by triggering the interface disturbance at the heterogeneous interface, thus accelerating oxygen reduction and oxygen evolution kinetics and regulating product decomposition, which is expected to solve the above problems. The meticulously designed unique structural advantages enable the TP-NCO/MO cathode catalyst to exhibit an astounding ultra-long cycle life of 800 cycles and an extraordinarily low overpotential of 0.73 V. This study utilizes a simple method to cleverly regulate the morphology of the discharge products by constructing a Mott-Schottky heterostructure, providing important reference for the design of efficient catalysts aimed at optimizing the adsorption of reaction intermediates.

Abstract
Anthropogenic activities related to population growth, economic development, technological advances, and changes in lifestyle and climate patterns result in a continuous increase in energy consumption. At the same time, the rare metal elements frequently deployed as catalysts in energy related processes are not only costly in view of their low natural abundance, but their availability is often further limited due to geopolitical reasons. Thus, electrochemical energy storage and conversion with earth-abundant metals, mainly in the form of single-atom catalysts (SACs), are highly relevant and timely technologies. In this review the application of earth-abundant SACs in electrochemical energy storage and electrocatalytic conversion of chemicals to fuels or products with high energy content is discussed. The oxygen reduction reaction is also appraised, which is primarily harnessed in fuel cell technologies and metal-air batteries. The coordination, active sites, and mechanistic aspects of transition metal SACs are analyzed for two-electron and four-electron reaction pathways. Further, the electrochemical water splitting with SACs toward green hydrogen fuel is discussed in terms of not only hydrogen evolution reaction but also oxygen evolution reaction. Similarly, the production of ammonia as a clean fuel via electrocatalytic nitrogen reduction reaction is portrayed, highlighting the potential of earth-abundant single metal species.

Abstract
Lithium-oxygen (Li-O2) batteries have obtained widespread attention as next-generation energy storage systems due to their extremely high energy density. However, the high charge overpotential, attributed to the insulating property of Li2O2, significantly limits the energy efficiency and triggers solvent degradation. The high electrochemical activities of oxygen reduction reactions (ORR) and oxygen evolution reactions (OER) on the cathode are crucial for alleviating the high charging polarizations and enhancing the lifetime of Li-O2 batteries, which are also top challenges of state-of-art research. In this review, the scientific challenges and the proposed solutions in the development of cathode catalysts have been summarized. The recent research advancements on the nanoengineering of cathode catalysts for Li-O2 batteries have been comprehensively discussed, and the perspectives on the structure optimization are presented. Meanwhile, we have elucidated the structure-performance relationship between the electronic state and performance of the cathode catalysts at the nanoscale level. This review intends to provide guidelines for the design and construction of cathode catalysts in advanced Li-O2 batteries.

Abstract
Nanozyme-based metabolic regulation triggered by tumor-specific endogenous stimuli has emerged as a promising therapeutic strategy for tumors. The current efficacy, however, is constrained by the limited concentration of endogenous substrates and the metabolic plasticity of tumors. Consequently, the implementation of efficient metabolic regulation in tumor therapy is urgently needed. Herein, a versatile nanozyme-based nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) circulating oxidation nanoreactor is reported. First, the synthesized cobalt-doped hollow carbon spheres (Co-HCS) possess NADH oxidase (NOX)-mimicking activity for the NADH oxidation to disrupt oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) pathway of tumor cells. Second, the substrate-cycle manner of Co-HCS can be used for NADH circulating oxidation to overcome the limitation of substrate deficiency. Finally, 2-Deoxy-D-glucose (2-DG) and 6-aminonicotinamide (6-AN) are introduced to block glycolysis and pentose phosphate pathway (PPP), thus creating a versatile nanozyme-based NADH circulating oxidation nanoreactor (Co-HCS/D/A) for tumor therapy through triple cellular metabolism disruption. In vitro and in vivo results demonstrate that the designed nanoreactor not only enhances the catalytic efficiency but also disrupts the tumor metabolic homeostasis, leading to efficient therapy outcome. This study develops a novel NADH circulating oxidation nanoreactor for tumor therapy through triple cellular metabolism disruption, which addresses the limitations of current nanozyme-based metabolism regulation for tumor therapy.

Abstract
The practical application of high-energy density lithium-oxygen (Li-O2) batteries is severely impeded by the notorious cycling stability and safety, which mainly comes from slow kinetics of oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) at cathodes, causing inferior redox overpotentials and reactive lithium metal in flammable liquid electrolyte. Herein, a bifunctional electrode, a safe gel polymer electrolyte (GPE), and a robust lithium anode are proposed to alleviate above problems. The bifunctional electrode is composed of N-doped carbon nanotubes (N-CNTs) and Co4N by in situ chemical vapor deposition self-catalyzed growth on carbon cloth (N-CNTs@Co4N@CC). The self-supporting, binder-free N-CNTs@Co4N@CC electrode has a strong and stable three-dimensional (3D) interconnected conductive structure, which provides interconnectivity between the active sites and the electrode to promote the transfer of electrons. Furthermore, the N-CNT-intertwined Co4N ensures efficient catalytic activity. Hence, the electrode demonstrates improved electrochemical properties even under a large current density (2000 mA g-1) and long cycling operation (250 cycles). Moreover, a highly safe and flexible rechargeable cell using the 3D N-CNTs@Co4N@CC electrode, GPE, and robust lithium anode design has been explored. The open circuit voltage is stable at ∼3.0 V even after 9800 cycles, which proves the mechanical durability of the integrated GPE cell. The stable cable-type Li-air battery was demonstrated to stably drive the light-emitting diodes (LEDs), highlighting the reliability for practical use.

Abstract
Li-N2 batteries have received widespread attention for their potential to integrate N2 fixation, energy storage, and conversion. However, because of the low activity and poor stability of cathode catalysts, the electrochemical performance of Li-N2 batteries is suboptimal, and their electrochemical reversibility has rarely been proven. In this study, a novel bifunctional photo-assisted Li-N2 battery system was established by employing a plasmonic Au nanoparticles (NPs)-modified defective carbon nitride (Au-Nv -C3 N4 ) photocathode. The Au-Nv -C3 N4 exhibits strong light-harvesting, N2 adsorption, and N2 activation abilities, and the photogenerated electrons and hot electrons are remarkably beneficial for accelerating the discharge and charge reaction kinetics. These advantages enable the photo-assisted Li-N2 battery to achieve a low overpotential of 1.32 V, which is the lowest overpotential reported to date, as well as superior rate capability and prolonged cycle stability (≈500 h). Remarkably, a combination of theoretical and experimental results demonstrates the high reversibility of the photo-assisted Li-N2 battery. The proposed novel strategy for developing efficient cathode catalysts and fabricating photo-assisted battery systems breaks through the overpotential bottleneck of Li-N2 batteries, providing important insights into the mechanism underlying N2 fixation and storage.

Abstract
Sculpting crystal configurations can vastly affect the charge and orbital states of electrocatalysts, fundamentally determining the catalytic activity of lithium-oxygen (Li-O2) batteries. However, the crucial role of crystal configurations in determining the electronic states has usually been neglected and needs to be further examined. Herein, we introduce orthorhombic and trigonal system into 0.5La0.6Sr0.4MnO3-0.5LaMn0.6Co0.4O3 (LSMCO) by selectively incorporating Sr and Co cations into the LaMnO3 framework during the sol-gel process, which is used to explore the relationship among crystal structure, electronic states and catalytic performance. Based on both experimental and theoretical calculations, the dual-crystal configurations induce strong lattice distortion, which promotes MnO6 octahedra vibration and shortened MnO bonds. Furthermore, the suppressed Jahn-Teller distortion weakens the orbital arrangement and accelerates the charge delocalization, leading to the conversion of Mn3+ to Mn4+ and optimized electronic states. Ultimately, this resulted in optimized Mn 3d and O 2p orbital hybridization and activated lattice oxygen function, leading to a significant improvement in electrocatalytic activity. The LSMCO catalyzed Li-O2 battery achieves enhanced discharge capacity of 14498.7 mAh/g and cycling stability of 258 cycles. This work highlights the significance of inner structure and presents a feasible strategy for engineering crystal configurations to boost electrocatalysis of Li-O2 batteries.

Abstract
High-entropy catalysts featuring exceptional properties are, in no doubt, playing an increasingly significant role in aprotic lithium-oxygen batteries. Despite extensive effort devoted to tracing the origin of their unparalleled performance, the relationships between multiple active sites and reaction intermediates are still obscure. Here, enlightened by theoretical screening, we tailor a high-entropy perovskite fluoride (KCoMnNiMgZnF3-HEC) with various active sites to overcome the limitations of conventional catalysts in redox process. The entropy effect modulates the d-band center and d orbital occupancy of active centers, which optimizes the d-p hybridization between catalytic sites and key intermediates, enabling a moderate adsorption of LiO2 and thus reinforcing the reaction kinetics. As a result, the Li-O2 battery with KCoMnNiMgZnF3-HEC catalyst delivers a minimal discharge/charge polarization and long-term cycle stability, preceding majority of traditional catalysts reported. These encouraging results provide inspiring insights into the electron manipulation and d orbital structure optimization for advanced electrocatalyst.

Abstract
Lithium-oxygen battery with ultra-high theoretical energy density is considered a highly competitive next-generation energy storage device, but its practical application is severely hindered by issues such as difficult decomposition of discharge products at present. Here, we have developed N-doped carbon anchored atomically dispersed Ru sites cathode catalyst with open hollow structure (h-RuNC) for Lithium-oxygen battery. On one hand, the abundance of atomically dispersed Ru sites can effectively catalyze the formation and decomposition of discharge products, thereby greatly enhancing the redox kinetics. On the other hand, the open hollow structure not only enhances the mass activity of atomically dispersed Ru sites but also improves the diffusion efficiency of catalytic molecules. Therefore, the excellent activity from atomically dispersed Ru sites and the enhanced diffusion from open hollow structure respectively improve the redox kinetics and cycling stability, ultimately achieving a high-performance lithium-oxygen battery.

Abstract
Enzyme mimics (EMs) with intrinsic catalysis activity have attracted enormous interest in biomedicine. However, there is a lack of environmentally adaptive EMs for sensitive diagnosis and specific catalytic therapeutics in simultaneous manners. Herein, the coordination modulation strategy is designed to synthesize silicon-based phosphorescence enzyme-mimics (SiPEMs). Specifically, the atomic-level engineered Co-N4 structure in SiPEMs enables the environment-adaptive peroxidase, oxidase, and catalase-like activities. More intriguingly, the internal Si-O networks are able to stabilize the triplet state, exhibiting long-lived phosphorescence with lifetime of 124.5 ms, suitable for millisecond-range time-resolved imaging of tumor cells and tissue in mice (with high signal-to-background ratio values of ∼60.2 for in vitro and ∼611 for in vivo). Meanwhile, the SiPEMs act as an oxidative stress amplifier, allowing the production of ·OH via cascade reactions triggered by the tumor microenvironment (∼136-fold enhancement in peroxidase catalytic efficiency); while the enzyme-mimics can scavenge the accumulation of reactive oxygen species to alleviate the oxidative damage in normal cells, they are therefore suitable for environment-adaptive catalytic treatment of cancer in specific manners. We innovate a systematic strategy to develop high-performance enzymemics, constructing a promising breakthrough for replacing traditional enzymes in cancer treatment applications.

Abstract
Li-O2 battery (LOB) is a promising "beyond Li-ion" technology with ultrahigh theoretical energy density (3457 Wh kg-1 ), while currently impeded by the sluggish cathodic kinetics of the reversible gas-solid reaction between O2 and Li2 O2 . Despite many catalysts are developed for accelerating the conversion process, the lack of design guidance for achieving high performance makes catalysts exploring aleatory. The Sabatier principle is an acknowledged theory connecting the scaling relationship with heterogeneous catalytic activity, providing a tradeoff strategy for the topmost performance. Herein, a series of catalysts with wide-distributed d-band centers (i.e., wide range of adsorption strength) are elaborately constructed via high-entropy strategy, enabling an in-depth study of the Sabatier relations in electrocatalysts for LOBs. A volcano-type correlation of d-band center and catalytic activity emerges. Both theoretical and experimental results indicate that a moderate d-band center with appropriate adsorption strength propels the catalysts up to the top. As a demonstration of concept, the LOB using FeCoNiMnPtIr as catalyst provides an exceptional energy conversion efficiency of over 80 %, and works steadily for 2000 h with a high fixed specific capacity of 4000 mAh g-1 . This work certifies the applicability of Sabatier principle as a guidance for designing advanced heterogeneous catalysts assembled in LOBs.

Abstract
The discharge product Li2O2 is difficult to decompose in lithium-oxygen batteries, resulting in poor reversibility and cycling stability of the battery, and the morphology of Li2O2 has a great influence on its decomposition during the charging process. Therefore, reasonable design of the catalyst structure to improve the density of catalyst active sites and make Li2O2 form a morphology which is easy to decompose in the charging process will help improve the performance of battery. Here, we demonstrate a series of hollow nanoboxes stacked by Co3O4 nanoparticles with different sizes. The results show that the surface of the nanoboxes composed of smaller size Co3O4 nanoparticles contains abundant pore structure and higher concentration of oxygen vacancies, which changes the adsorption energy of reactants and intermediates, providing more nucleation sites for Li2O2, thereby forming Li2O2 with high dispersion, which is easier to decompose during charging, and eventually improve the performance of the battery. This provides an important idea for the structural design of the cathode catalyst in lithium-oxygen batteries and the regulation of Li2O2 morphology.

Abstract
Tailoring the morphology and structure of Li2O2, the discharge product of lithium-oxygen batteries (LOBs), through the rational design of cathode catalysts is an efficient strategy to promote the electrochemical performance of LOBs. In this work, sodium-doped nickel phosphate nanorods (Na-NiPO NRs) grown on Ni foam (NF) were prepared by the hydrothermal method and subsequent calcination. For the Na-NiPO NRs, the electronic structure could be optimized and abundant void space among the nanorods would provide abundant transport channels. Adopted as the cathodes, the Na-NiPO NRs could facilitate the uniform growth of sea cucumber-like Li2O2 with sufficient Li2O2-electrolyte and Li2O2-catalyst interfaces, significantly promoting the charge process. Therefore, LOBs could deliver a high discharge capacity of 10365.0 mA h g-1 at 100 mA g-1. And a low potential gap of 1.16 V can be achieved at 200 mA g-1 with a capacity of 500 mA h g-1. The proposed strategy demonstrates the role of the morphology and electronic structure of the cathode catalysts in tuning the Li2O2 morphology and provides a novel approach for achieving high-performance LOBs.

Abstract
The sluggish kinetics and issues associated with the parasitic reactions of cathodes are major obstacles to the large-scale application of Li-O2 batteries (LOBs), despite their large theoretical energy density. Therefore, efficient electrocatalyst design is critical for optimizing their performance. Ni5 P4 is analyzed theoretically as a cathode material, and the downshift of the d-band center is found to enhance electron occupation in antibonding orbits, providing a valuable descriptor for understanding and enhancing the intrinsic electrocatalytic activity. In this study, it is demonstrated that incorporating additional nitrogen atoms into Ni5 P4 nanoroses regulates the electronic structure, resulting in superior electrocatalytic performance in LOBs. Further spectroscopic analysis and density functional theory calculations reveal that the incorporated nitrogen sites can effectively induce localized structure polarization, lowering the energy barrier for the production of desirable intermediates and thus enhancing battery capacity and preventing cell degradation. This approach provides a sound basis for developing advanced electrode materials with optimized electronic structures for high-performance LOBs.

Abstract
Lithium-oxygen (Li-O2 ) batteries have received extensive attention owing to ultrahigh theoretical energy density. Compared to typical discharge product Li2 O2 , LiOH has attracted much attention for its better chemical and electrochemical stability. Large-scale applications of Li-O2 batteries with LiOH chemistry are hampered by the serious internal shuttling of the water additives with the desired 4e- electrochemical reactions. Here, a metal organic framework-derived "water-trapping" single-atom-Co-N4 /graphene catalyst (Co-SA-rGO) is provided that successfully mitigates the water shuttling and enables the direct 4e- catalytic reaction of LiOH in the aprotic Li-O2 battery. The Co-N4 center is more active toward proton-coupled electron transfer, benefiting - direction 4e- formation of LiOH. 3D interlinked networks also provide large surface area and mesoporous structures to trap ≈12 wt% H2 O molecules and offer rapid tunnels for O2 diffusion and Li+ transportation. With these unique features, the Co-SA-rGO based Li-O2 battery delivers a high discharge platform of 2.83 V and a large discharge capacity of 12 760.8 mAh g-1 . Also, the battery can withstand corrosion in the air and maintain a stable discharge platform for 220 cycles. This work points out the direction of enhanced electron/proton transfer for the single-atom catalyst design in Li-O2 batteries.

Abstract
Lithium-based rechargeable batteries have dominated the energy storage field and attracted considerable research interest due to their excellent electrochemical performance. As indispensable and ubiquitous components, electrolytes play a pivotal role in not only transporting lithium ions, but also expanding the electrochemical stable potential window, suppressing the side reactions, and manipulating the redox mechanism, all of which are closely associated with the behavior of solvation chemistry in electrolytes. Thus, comprehensively understanding the solvation chemistry in electrolytes is of significant importance. Here we critically reviewed the development of electrolytes in various lithium-based rechargeable batteries including lithium-metal batteries (LMBs), nonaqueous lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), lithium-sulfur batteries (LSBs), lithium-oxygen batteries (LOBs), and aqueous lithium-ion batteries (ALIBs), and emphasized the effects of interactions between cations, anions, and solvents on solvation chemistry, and functions of solvation chemistry in different types of electrolytes (strong solvating electrolytes, moderate solvating electrolytes, and weak solvating electrolytes) on the electrochemical performance and redox mechanism in the abovementioned rechargeable batteries. Specifically, the significant effects of solvation chemistry on the stability of electrode-electrolyte interphases, suppression of lithium dendrites in LMBs, inhibition of the co-intercalation of solvents in LIBs, improvement of anodic stability at high cut-off voltages in LMBs, LIBs and ALIBs, regulation of redox pathways in LSBs and LOBs, and inhibition of hydrogen/oxygen evolution reactions in LOBs are thoroughly summarized. Finally, the review concludes with a prospective outlook, where practical issues of electrolytes, advanced in situ/operando techniques to illustrate the mechanism of solvation chemistry, and advanced theoretical calculation and simulation techniques such as "material knowledge informed machine learning" and "artificial intelligence (AI) + big data" driven strategies for high-performance electrolytes have been proposed.

Abstract
In rechargeable Li-O2 batteries, the electrolyte and the electrode are prone to be attacked by aggressive intermediates (O2- and LiO2) and products (Li2O2), resulting in low energy efficiency. It has been reported that in the presence of water, the formation of low-activity LiOH is more stable for electrolyte and electrode, effectively reducing the production of parasitic products. However, the reversible formation and decomposition of LiOH catalyzed by solid catalysts is still a challenge. Here, a freestanding metal-organic framework (MOF)-derived honeycomb-shape porous MnOC@CC cathode was prepared for Li-O2 batteries by in situ growth of urchin-like Mn-MOFs on carbon cloth (CC) and carbonization. The battery with the MnOC@CC cathode exhibits an ultrahigh practical discharge specific capacity of 22,838 mAh g-1 at 200 mA g-1, high-rate capability, and more stable cycling, which is superior to the MnOC powder cathode. X-ray diffraction and Fourier transform infrared results identify that the discharge product of the batteries is LiOH rather than highly active Li2O2, and no parasitic products were found during operation. The MnOC@CC cathode can induce the formation of flower-like LiOH in the presence of water due to its unique porous structure and directional alignment of Mn-O centers. This work achieves the reversible formation and decomposition of LiOH in the presence of water, offering some insights into the practical application of semiopen Li-O2 batteries.

Abstract
We have achieved the synthesis of dual-metal single atoms and atomic clusters that co-anchor on a highly graphitic carbon support. The catalyst comprises Ni4 (and Fe4) nanoclusters located adjacent to the corresponding NiN4 (and FeN4) single-atom sites, which is verified by systematic X-ray absorption characterization and density functional theory calculations. A distinct cooperation between Fe4 (Ni4) nanoclusters and the corresponding FeN4 (NiN4) atomic sites optimizes the adsorption energy of reaction intermediates and reduces the energy barrier of the potential-determining steps. This catalyst exhibits enhanced oxygen reduction and evolution activity and long-cycle stability compared to counterparts without nanoclusters and commercial Pt/C. The fabricated Zn-air batteries deliver a high power density and long-term cyclability, demonstrating their prospects in energy storage device applications.

Surface bonding of MN 4 macrocyclic metal complexes with pyridine-functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes for non-aqueous Li-O 2 batteries. J Colloid Interface Sci 2023; 635:242-253.

Abstract
It is essential to develop bifunctional catalysts with high activity and stability for reversible oxygen reduction reactions (ORRs) and oxygen evolution reactions (OERs) in lithium-oxygen (Li-O2) batteries. In this work, pyridine (Py) functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were prepared to immobilize various solid MN4 macrocyclic metal complexes (MN4-MC) as cathode electrocatalysts for Li-O2 batteries. Three types of MN4-MC molecules, including iron phthalocyanine (FePc), cobalt phthalocyanine (CoPc) and iron protoporphyrin IX (Heme) were examined to evaluate the influence of central metal atoms and ligand substituents found in MN4-MC molecules on the electrocatalytic performance of the study samples. The order of the ORR/OER catalytic activity of the bifunctional catalysts is FePc > Heme > CoPc. The central metal atom in FePc molecule has the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) energy than the corresponding metal atoms in CoPc and Heme molecules. This made the molecule to have better dioxygen-binding ability and higher catalytic activity in the ORR process; it also made it to easily lose electrons that were oxidized in the OER process. This study proposed a simplified scheme of the electrode surface route to assist in understanding the diverse ORR/OER performances of MN4-MC. It is discovered that the positive core of the MN5 coordination sphere in MN4-MC/Py/MWCNTs composite is the primary active site that can influence the formation of MN5···O2* and MN5-LOOLi cluster in the ORR process. The interfacial electron could be easily delivered between MWCNTs and MN5 active site through the Py bridge. This facilitated the formation and decomposition of MN5-LOOLi species during the ORRs/OERs, leading to the enhancement of its catalytic performance. This work provides a new insight into the effects of the molecular structure and organization of MN4-MC on the catalytic activity of O2 electrodes in Li-O2 batteries.

Abstract
The critical challenge for Li-O2 batteries lies in the large charge overpotential, leading to undesirable side reactions and inferior cycle stability. Single-atom catalysts have shown promising prospects in expediting the kinetics of oxygen evolution reaction (OER) for Li-O2 batteries. However, a present practical drawback is the limited understanding of the correlation between the unique atomic structures and the OER mechanism. Herein, a template-assisted strategy is reported to synthesize atomically dispersed Pd anchored on N-doped carbon spheres as cathode catalysts. Benefiting from the well-defined Pd-N4 moiety, the morphology and distribution of Li2 O2 products are distinctly regulated with optimized decomposition reversibility. Theoretical simulations reveal that the unique configuration of Pd-N4 will contribute to the electron transfer from Pd atoms to the adjacent N atoms, which turns the originally electroneutral Pd into positively charged and downshifts the d-band center and therefore weakens its adsorption energy with the intermediates. The Li-O2 batteries with Pd SAs/NC cathode achieve a charge overpotential of only 0.24 V and sustainable low-overpotential cycling stability (500 mA g-1 ), and can retain a low charge voltage to a very high capacity of 10 000 mAh g-1 . This work provides some insights into designing efficient single-atom catalysts for stable low-overpotential Li-O2 batteries.

Abstract
It is significant to develop catalysts with high catalytic activity and durability to improve the electrochemical performances of lithium-oxygen batteries (LOBs). While electronic metal-support interaction (EMSI) between metal atoms and support has shown great potential in catalytic field. Hence, to effectively improve the electrochemical performance of LOBs, atomically dispersed Fe modified RuO2 nanoparticles are designed to be loaded on hierarchical porous carbon shells (FeSA -RuO2 /HPCS) based on EMSI criterion. It is revealed that the Ru-O-Fe1 structure is formed between the atomically dispersed Fe atoms and the surrounding Ru sites through electron interaction, and this structure could act as the ultra-high activity driving force center of oxygen reduction/evolution reaction (ORR/OER). Specifically, the Ru-O-Fe1 structure enhances the reaction kinetics of ORR to a certain extent, and optimizes the morphology of discharge products by reducing the adsorption energy of catalyst for O2 and LiO2 ; while during the OER process, the Ru-O-Fe1 structure not only greatly enhances the reaction kinetics of OER, but also catalyzes the efficient decomposition of the discharge products Li2 O2 by the favorable electron transfer between the active sites and the discharge products. Hence, LOBs based on FeSA-RuO2 /HPCS cathodes show an ultra-low over-potential, high discharge capacity and superior durability.

Abstract
Owing to their structural tunability for furnishing high catalytic activity and photoactivity, perovskite oxides are a class of promising materials for high-performance photocathode catalysts in a photoassisted lithium oxygen battery (LOB), which is still in its infancy. Herein, single-crystalline LaCoO3 (LCO) is successfully synthesized through a microwave-assisted approach and selenylated to simultaneously introduce anionic doping and oxygen vacancies, boosting not only the electrocatalytic activity toward reversible Li2O2 formation/decomposition, but also the photoactivity to further reduce the charge/discharge polarization. As a result, LOBs utilizing Se-doped LCO as the photocathode catalyst demonstrate a superior performance under illumination in all aspects of energy efficiency, specific capacity, and cycling stability, ranking among the best reported in the literature for perovskite oxides. The photoenhanced charge kinetics is found to be correlated with the accelerated Li2O2 nucleation with lowered granule size, which is key to both the improved charge/discharge capacity and reversibility. The results underscore the tailoring of perovskite structure to aggrandize both the catalytic activity and photoactivity for concertedly promoting the kinetics of LOBs.

Abstract
The rational design of efficient and stable catalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction and oxygen evolution reaction (ORR/OER) is the key to improving Li-O2 battery performance. Here, we report the construction of ORR/OER bifunctional cathode catalysts in a covalent organic framework (COF) platform by simultaneously incorporating Ni-bis(dithiolene) and Co-porphyrin units. The resulting bimetallic Ni/Co-COF exhibits high surface area, fairly good electrical conductivity, and excellent chemical stability. Li-O2 batteries with the Ni/Co-COF-based cathode show a low discharge/charge potential gap (1.0 V) and stable cycling (200 cycles) at a current density of 500 mA g-1, rivaling that of PtAu nanocrystals. Density functional theory computations and control experiments using nonmetal or single metal-based isostructural COFs reveal the critical role of Ni and Co sites in reducing the discharge/charge overpotentials and regulating the Li2O2 deposition. This work highlights the advantage of bimetallic COFs in the rational design of efficient and stable Li-O2 batteries.

Abstract
Li-O2 batteries have an extremely high theoretical specific energy; however, the large charge overpotential and highly reactive singlet oxygen (1O2) are two major obstacles. Porphyrin as a special kind of macrocyclic conjugated aromatic system exhibits excellent redox activity, which can be optimized by introducing a center metal atom. Herein, 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-aminophenyl)-porphyrin (TAPP) and 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-aminophenyl)-porphyrin-Co(II) (Co-TAP) are applied as effective redox mediators for Li-O2 batteries. The synergistic effects of a center metal atom and organic ligand make Co-TAP more favorable for oxygen reduction and evolution. To understand the fundamental reaction mechanisms with or without TAPP or Co-TAP, the discharge/charge processes and the parasitic reactions have been comprehensively studied. The results reveal that TAPP affects the formation mechanism of Li2O2, while Co-TAP transforms the main discharge product into LiOH without adding extra water. Co-TAP-containing batteries operated via LiOH chemistry completely eradicate 1O2 and significantly alleviate the parasitic reactions associated with 1O2.

SMALL METHODS 2023; 7:e2201289. [PMID: 36563133 DOI: 10.1002/smtd.202201289] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/07/2022] [Revised: 11/28/2022] [Indexed: 06/17/2023]
Abstract
Lithium-oxygen batteries (LOBs) suffer from large charge overpotential and unstable Li metal interface, which can be attributed to the inefficient charge transport at the insulating Li2 O2 /cathode interface and the severe oxygen corrosion issue on the Li anode surface. The use of soluble redox mediators (RMs) can effectively enhance the charge transport between Li2 O2 and cathode, thus greatly reducing the charge overpotential. However, oxidized RMs will also shuttle to the anode side and react with the Li metal, which not only results in the loss of both the RMs and the electrical energy efficiency but also exacerbates the Li anode corrosion. Herein, an organic compound-acetylthiocholine iodide (ATCI), in which a big cation group is contained, is proposed as a defense-donor RM for lithium anode in LOBs to simultaneously address the above issues. During charge, it can accelerate the oxidation kinetics of Li2 O2 via its iodide anion redox couple (I- /I3 - ). Meanwhile, its cation segment (ATC+ ) can move to the anode surface via electric attraction and in situ forms a protective interfacial layer, which prevents the Li anode from the attack of oxidized RM and oxygen species. Consequently, the ATCI-containing LOBs can achieve both a low charge potential (≈3.49 V) and a long cycle life (≈190 cycles).

Abstract
Electrochemical ultracapacitors derived from green and sustainable materials could demonstrate superior energy output and an ultra-long cycle life owing to large accessible surface area and obviously shortened ion diffusion pathways. Herein, we have established an efficient strategy to fabricate porous carbon (GLAC) from sustainable gingko leaf precursors by a facile hydrothermal activation of H3PO4 and low-cost pyrolysis. In this way, GLAC with a hierarchically porous structure exhibits extraordinary adaptability toward a high energy/power supercapacitor (∼709 F g-1 at 1 A g-1) in an aqueous electrolyte (1 M KOH). Notably, the GLAC-2-based supercapacitor displays an ultra-high stability of ∼98.24% even after 10 000 cycles (10 A g-1) and an impressive energy density as large as ∼71 W h kg-1 at a power density of 1.2 kW kg-1. The results provide new insights that the facile synthetic procedure coupled with the excellent performance contributes to great potential for future application in the electrochemical energy storage field.

Abstract
Lithium-oxygen batteries have attracted widespread attention owing to their superior theoretical energy density. However, they are obstructed by sluggish oxygen reduction (ORR) and evolution reaction (OER) kinetics at air cathodes. Herein, different from using single solid or soluble catalysts, solid-soluble synergistic catalysis is proposed to conjointly enhance ORR/OER performances. During discharge, single-atomic zinc/cobalt embedded in nitrogen-doped carbon (Zn, Co-N/C) is judiciously engineered as a solid catalyst to regulate the growth pathway of Li2O2 and promote ORR kinetics. During charge, a typical redox mediator (RM, LiI) is added as a soluble catalyst to permit efficient oxidation of Li2O2. Of note is that the atomic Zn/Co-Nx sites can chemically adsorb oxidized iodine (I2) and accelerate OER kinetics, which plays a decisive role in eliminating the shuttle effect of I3-/I2 to the Li anode. Coupling a single-atomic catalyst with restricted oxidized iodine offers an exceptional discharge capacity, remarkably low polarization, and superior long-term cycling stability.

Abstract
Metal-air batteries are considered one of the most promising next-generation energy storage devices owing to their ultrahigh theoretical specific energy. However, sluggish cathode kinetics (O2 and CO2 reduction/evolution) result in large overpotentials and low round-trip efficiencies which seriously hinder their practical applications. Utilizing light to drive slow cathode processes has increasingly becoming a promising solution to this issue. Considering the rapid development and emerging issues of this field, this Review summarizes the current understanding of light-assisted metal-air batteries in terms of configurations and mechanisms, provides general design strategies and specific examples of photocathodes, systematically discusses the influence of light on batteries, and finally identifies existing gaps and future priorities for the development of practical light-assisted metal-air batteries.

Abstract
The lithium-oxygen (Li-O2 ) battery with high energy density of 3860 Wh kg-1 represents one of the most promising new secondary batteries for future electric vehicles and mobile electronic devices. However, slow oxygen reduction/oxygen evolution (ORR/OER) reaction efficiency and unstable cycling performance restrain the practical applications of the Li-O2 battery. Herein, Ru-modified nitrogen-doped porous carbon-encapsulated Co nanoparticles (Ru/Co@CoNx -C) are synthesized through reduction of Ru on metal-organic framework (MOFs) pyrolyzed derivatives strategies. Porous carbon polyhedra provide channels for reactive species and stable structure ensures the cyclic stability of the catalyst; abundant Co-Nx sites and high specific surface area (353 m2 g-1 ) provide more catalytically active sites and deposition sites for reaction products. Theoretical calculations further verify that Ru/Co@CoNx -C can regulate the growth of Li2 O2 to improve reversibility of Li-O2 batteries. Li-O2 batteries with Ru/Co@CoNx -C as cathode catalyst achieve small voltage gaps of 1.08 V, exhibit excellent cycle stability (205 cycles), and deliver high discharge specific capacity (17050 mAh g-1 ). Furthermore, pouch-type Li-O2 batteries that maintain stable electrochemical performance output even under conditions of bending deformation and corner cutting are successfully assembled. This study demonstrates Ru/Co@CoNx -C catalyst's great application potential in Li-O2 batteries.

Abstract
The crystal plane effect of cobalt oxide has attracted much attention in Li-O2 batteries (LOBs) and other electrocatalytic fields. However, boosting the catalytic activity of a specific plane still faces significant challenges. Herein, a strategy of adding water into the electrolyte is developed to construct a LiOH-based Li-O2 battery system using the (111) plane-exposed Co3O4 as a cathode catalyst. The electrochemical performance shows that on the (111) plane, in the presence of water, the overpotential is largely reduced from 1.5 to 1.0 V and the cycling performance is enhanced. It is confirmed that during the discharge process, water reacts to form LiOH and induce the phase transformation of Co3O4 to amorphous CoOx(OH)y. At the recharge stage, LiOH is first decomposed and then CoOx(OH)y is reduced to Co3O4. Compared with pristine (111), the newly formed Co3O4 surface exhibits more active sites, which accelerates the following oxygen reduction and oxygen evolution processes. This work not only reveals the reaction mechanism of water-induced reaction on the (111) plane of Co3O4 but also provides a new perspective for further design of hybrid Li-O2 batteries with a low polarization and a longer cycle life.

Abstract
The large overpotential and poor cycle stability caused by inactive redox reactions are tough challenges for lithium-oxygen batteries (LOBs). Here, a composite microsphere material comprising NiCo2 O4 @CeO2 is synthesized via a hydrothermal approach followed by an annealing processing, which is acted as a high performance electrocatalyst for LOBs. The unique microstructured catalyst can provide enough catalytic surface to facilitate the barrier-free transport of oxygen as well as lithium ions. In addition, the special microsphere and porous nanoneedles structure can effectively accelerate electrolyte penetration and the reversible formation and decomposition process of Li2 O2 , while the introduction of CeO2 can increase oxygen vacancies and optimize the electronic structure of NiCo2 O4 , thereby enhancing the electron transport of the whole electrode. This kind of catalytic cathode material can effectively reduce the overpotential to only 1.07 V with remarkable cycling stability of 400 loops under 500 mA g-1 . Based on the density functional theory calculations, the origin of the enhanced electrochemical performance of NiCo2 O4 @CeO2 is clarified from the perspective of electronic structure and reaction kinetics. This work demonstrates the high efficiency of NiCo2 O4 @CeO2 as an electrocatalyst and confirms the contribution of the current design concept to the development of LOBs cathode materials.

Abstract
Constructing robust nucleation sites with an ultrafine size in a confined environment is essential toward simultaneously achieving superior utilization, high capacity, and long-term durability in Na metal-based energy storage, yet remains largely unexplored. Here, we report a previously unexplored design of spatially confined atomic Sn in hollow carbon spheres for homogeneous nucleation and dendrite-free growth. The designed architecture maximizes Sn utilization, prevents agglomeration, mitigates volume variation, and allows complete alloying-dealloying with high-affinity Sn as persistent nucleation sites, contrary to conventional spatially exposed large-size ones without dealloying. Thus, conformal deposition is achieved, rendering an exceptional capacity of 16 mAh cm-2 in half-cells and long cycling over 7000 hours in symmetric cells. Moreover, the well-known paradox is surmounted, delivering record-high Na utilization (e.g., 85%) and large capacity (e.g., 8 mAh cm-2) while maintaining extraordinary durability over 5000 hours, representing an important breakthrough for stabilizing Na anode.

Abstract
The development of a cathode for solid-state lithium-oxygen batteries has been hindered in practice by a low capacity and limited cycle life despite their potential for high energy density. Here, a previously unexplored strategy is proposed wherein the cathode delivers a specific capacity of 200 milliampere hour per gram over 665 discharge/charge cycles, while existing cathodes achieve only ~50 milliampere hour per gram and ~100 cycles. A highly conductive ruthenium-based composite is designed as a carbon-free cathode by first-principles calculations to avoid the degradation associated with carbonaceous materials, implying an improvement in stability during the electrochemical cycling. In addition, water vapor is added into the main oxygen gas as an additive to change the discharge product from growth-restricted lithium peroxide to easily grown lithium hydroxide, resulting in a notable increase in capacity. Thus, the proposed strategy is effective for developing reversible solid-state lithium-oxygen batteries with high energy density.

Abstract
Lithium-oxygen batteries (LOBs) with ultra-high theoretical energy density (≈3500 Wh kg-1 ) are considered as the most promising energy storage systems. However, the sluggish kinetics during the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) can induce large voltage hysteresis, inferior roundtrip efficiency and unsatisfactory cyclic stability. Herein, hydrangea-like NiO@Ni2 P heterogeneous microspheres are elaborately designed as high-efficiency oxygen electrodes for LOBs. Benefitting from the interfacial electron redistribution on NiO@Ni2 P heterostructure, the electronic structure can be modulated to ameliorate the chemisorption of the intermediates, which is confirmed by density functional theory (DFT) calculations and experimental characterizations. In addition, the interpenetration of the PO bond at the NiO@Ni2 P heterointerface leads to the internal doping effect, thereby boosting electron transfer to further improve ORR and OER activities. As a result, the NiO@Ni2 P electrode shows a low overpotential of only 0.69 V, high specific capacity of 18254.1 mA h g-1 and superior long-term cycling stability of over 1400 h. The exploration of novel bifunctional electrocatalyst in this work provides a new solution for the practical application of LOBs.

Abstract
Photoassisted electrochemical reaction is regarded as an effective approach to reduce the overpotential of lithium-oxygen (Li-O2 ) batteries. However, the achievement of both broadband absorption and long term battery cycling stability are still a formidable challenge. Herein, an oxygen vacancy-mediated fast kinetics for a photoassisted Li-O2 system is developed with a silver/bismuth molybdate (Ag/Bi2 MoO6 ) hybrid cathode. The cathode can offer both double advantages for light absorption covering UV to visible region and excellent electrochemical activity for O2 . Upon discharging, the photoexcited electrons from Ag nanoplate based on the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) are injected into the oxygen vacancy in Bi2 MoO6 . The fast oxygen reaction kinetics generate the amorphous Li2 O2 , and the discharge plateau is improved to 3.05 V. Upon charging, the photoexcited holes are capable to decompose amorphous Li2 O2 promptly, yielding a very low charge plateau of 3.25 V. A first cycle round-trip efficiency is 93.8% and retention of 70% over 500 h, which is the longest cycle life ever reported in photoassisted Li-O2 batteries. This work offers a general and reliable strategy for boosting the electrochemical kinetics by tailoring the crystalline of Li2 O2 with wide-band light.

Abstract
Developing an excellent bifunctional catalyst is essential for the commercial application of Li-O2 batteries. Heterostructures exhibit great application potential in the field of energy catalysis because of the accelerated charge transfer and increased active sites on their surfaces. In this work, CoS2 nanoparticles decorated on MoS2 nanorods are constructed and act as a superior cathode catalyst for Li-O2 batteries. Coupling MoS2 and CoS2 can not only synergistically enhance their electrical conductivity and electrochemical activity, but also promote the heteroepitaxial growth of discharge products on the heterojunction interfaces, thus delivering high discharge capacity, stable cycle performance, and good rate capability.
