Influence of cathode process on the performance of lithium-air batteries

Facile and Cost Effective Synthesized Mesoporous Spinel NiCo2O4as Catalyst for Non-Aqueous Lithium-Oxygen Batteries

“…1,[3][4][5][6] Among various types of Li-O 2 batteries, the non-aqueous system has achieved more encouraging results than other counterparts. 7,8 However, the stability and rate capability of the Li-O 2 battery need to be improved further for its commercialization. 5,9 The typical Li-O 2 cell consists of a porous oxygen electrode for the permeation of oxygen, an electrolyte containing a dissolved lithium salt, and a lithium metal electrode, which can greatly affect the capacity and durability of the cell.…”

Oxygen reduction reaction of different electrodes in dimethyl sulfoxide solvent for Li-air batteries

“…In the current energy conversion system, it is particularly concerned and expected to become the next generation of secondary battery because of its extremely high specific capacity [4,5]. The Li-air battery has been extensively studied in these aspects including electrolytes, catalysts and air cathode material since Abraham and Jiang [6] first reported nonaqueous lithium-air battery in 1996.…”

Electrochemical performance of lithium molybdenum composite catalyst in oxygen reduction reaction

“…Practically, the storage of oxygen is not required, since air can be used directly in the battery. Therefore, the theoretical specific energy density (excluding oxygen) is 11,140 Wh kg À1 [4] which is higher than Li-ion batteries [5] and other developed batteries [6,7]. Generally, lithium air batteries with a high energy density contain a lithium anode, an air cathode supplying the oxygen and a non aqueous electrolyte.…”

“…Petru et al reported that partly wetted air cathodes, which have nonuniform distribution, can develope the capacity of lithium-air batteries [11]. Crowther et al [12] and Zhang et al [13] suggested approaches named as mineral spirits and filtration, respectively [6]. Some good results are increasingly being obtained with the application of advanced materials and new methods [14].…”
