Kunanusont, Nattanai published the artcilePorous Carbon Cathode Assisted with Ionogel Binder Fabricated from Supercritical Fluid Technique toward Li-O2/CO2 Battery Application, Recommanded Product: 2,5,8,11,14-Pentaoxapentadecane, the main research area is ionic liquid ionogel binder porous carbon cathode; lithium oxygen battery supercritical carbon dioxide.
Lithium-O2/CO2 battery has been recently developed due to its higher capacity than Li-O2 battery and high impact on energy and environmental problems. Ionogels composed of ionic liquid ([bmim][Tf2N], [bmim][PF6] or [bmim][I]), and poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) is applied as a binder of carbon particles on cathode of Li-O2/CO2 battery. A porous carbon cathode with ionogel binder was fabricated by drying and impregnation techniques in supercritical carbon dioxide at 40°C and 20.0 MPa. The effect of ionic liquid on cathode properties was investigated by various ratios of ionic liquid amount in the ionogel binder. The porous carbon cathodes were further used to test the discharge capacity of Li-O2/CO2 batteries. We found that the capacity of battery was enhanced as the amount of ionic liquid in the gel binder increased, while the cathode with PVDF-[bmim][Tf2N] ionogel binder had the highest discharge capacity at 15.07 mAh cm-2. The mechanism of capacity enhancement relies on the reduction of interfacial resistance between electrolyte and cathode and the improvement of reaction gases solubilities into the ionogel binder on the porous carbon cathode.
