Li, Jiade published the artcileEffect of O2 adsorption on the termination of Li-O2 batteries discharge, COA of Formula: C10H22O5, the main research area is oxygen adsorption termination lithium batteries discharge.
Li-O (Li-O2) batteries can exhibit high theor. energy d. and be surely suitable for potential energy storage. However, they suffer from early discharge termination and consequently low practical capacity, which was regarded as the blockage of the diffusion of O and the electron transfer on cathode surface. Herein, based on exptl. results and theor. simulation, the discharge termination is largely caused by the surface adsorption of O and the corresponding reaction intermediates. A TiO2-coated binder-free C paper was prepared and used as cathode for Li-O2 battery. During the 1st discharge, the discharge plateau at ∼2.55 V was not observed due to the weak adsorption of O on TiO2 surface, indicative of an early discharge termination of Li-O2 battery. It is further identified that the formed vacancies on TiO2 surface during lithiation/delithiation prevents the early discharge termination. Therefore, the interaction between O and electrode surface plays a key role in discharge termination mechanism of Li-O2 batteries.
