Computational Insights into LixOy Formation, Nucleation, and Adsorption on Carbon Nanotube Electrodes in Nonaqueous Li–O2 Batteries

Abstract: Recent theoretical and experimental studies have shown that the formation of Li2O2, the main discharge product of nonaqueous Li–O2 batteries, is a complex multistep reaction process. The formation, nucleation, and adsorption of Li x O y (x and y = 0, 1, and 2) and (Li2O2) n clusters with n = 1–4 on the surface of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were investigated by periodic density functional theory calculation. The results showed that both Li2O2 and Li2O on CNT electrodes are preferentially generated by lithiation … Show more

“…As for pyridinic N4 (pyriN4) shown in Figure a5, the four N atoms are in their respective hexagons, and the area occupied by the vacancies on the NCNT surface is significantly larger than that of pyriN3 and pyrroN3. As shown in Figure c, both O 2 and lithium oxides (Li x O y with x and y = 1 and 2) have a planar structure, which is in accordance with the reported results. , The bond lengths of Li–O and O–O bonds have been verified in our previous work …”

“…57,58 The bond lengths of Li−O and O−O bonds have been verified in our previous work. 7 The bond lengths of the C−C and N−C bonds of the optimized geometries of PCNTs and NCNTs are presented in Figure 2. It can be seen that the distribution of C atoms on the surface of the PCNTs (Figure 2a) is relatively regular, and the average bond length of the C−C bonds alternates between 1.42 and 1.43 Å from the top to bottom, which is in agreement with the calculations of Yuan and Huang 59 and Peralta-Inga et al 60 For comparison, the bond lengths of C−C and N−C bonds around N atoms on the NCNT surface were analyzed.…”
