- Abstract
Li-oxygen (Li-O2) battery is a novel energy storage equipment. However, its poor reaction reversibility relating to the insoluble lithium peroxide (Li2O2) generated during the discharge process, limits its application and development for large scale use. Therefore, the design and synthesis of effective catalysts which can efficiently catalyze the production and decomposition of Li2O2 and exclude the generation of side-products has become the primary task to develop Li-O2 batteries. Herein, a new type of electrocatalyst based on single-atom Ru and N, Sco-doped carbon materials (Ru/CNS/CNT) is introduced to reduce the overpotential of the battery reaction and accelerate the formation and decomposition of Li2O2. Galvanostatic charge-discharge tests were performed on the Li-oxygen (Li-O2) battery with Ru/CNS/CNT as the cathode catalyst material. With a limited specific capacity of 1000 mA h g-1, the battery can stably cycle for 79 cycles at a current density of 200 mA g-1. Furthermore, the existence of the single atom of Ru was demonstrated according to the characterization of HAADF-STEM. The experimental results showed that composite material Ru/CNS/CNT can accelerate the formation and decomposition of lithium peroxide (Li2O2), thereby greatly improving the cycling stability of the battery.
