Lithium‐Oxygen Chemistry at Well‐Designed Model Interface Probed by In Situ Spectroscopy Coupled with Theoretical Calculations

Abstract: The aprotic lithium‐oxygen (Li‐O2) battery has an extremely high theoretical specific energy and potentially provides a tantalizing solution to the renewable energy storage challenge encountered by contemporary and future societies. Nevertheless, the realization of practical Li‐O2 batteries currently meets with substantial challenges that include, but are not limited to, low energy capability and short longevity. To address these obstacles, unveiling the reaction processes and degradation mechanisms of Li‐O2 b… Show more

“…Considering the intricate nature of composite cathodes (e.g., binders, conductive carbons with defects or functional groups, electrocatalysts) in practical Li-CO 2 batteries, a simple Au model electrode is selected to investigate CO 2 RR pathways in DMSO-based electrolytes, commonly employed in Li–air batteries . Notably, the Au model electrode has been established as an excellent substrate for in situ vibrational spectroscopy techniques, , including SERS and attenuated total reflectance surface-enhanced infrared absorption spectroscopy (ATR-SEIRAS). These techniques can efficiently enhance the interfacial signal with single-molecule sensitivity and provide a suitable platform to probe the trace intermediates and products involved in the CO 2 RR pathways in aprotic Li-CO 2 batteries.…”

“…7 a) and Raman patterns (Fig. 7 b) reveal the formation of Li 2 CO 3 , LiOH, LiAc, and LiRCO 3 as main side-products on KCoF 3 , KCoMnNiF 3 , KCoMnNiMgF 3 and KCoMnNiZnF 3 cathode [ 31 , 32 ]. In striking contrast, no signal peak assigned to those byproducts emerges on KCoMnNiMgZnF 3 -HEC cathode, even after 500th cycles, unveiling the suppression effect of multiple active sites in HEC on side reactions.…”

“…To understand the BPD-assisted Li–CO 2 electrochemistry, in situ spectroscopic studies including FT-IR and SERS spectroscopies have been conducted using model electrodes of GC and Au in Ar- and CO 2 -saturated 0.1 M LiClO 4 -DMSO electrolytes containing 20 mM BPD, respectively (Figure ). Because of the specific adsorption of BPD on an Au electrode, it is possible to probe the interaction of BPD and CO 2 by monitoring the variation of the SERS spectra of BPD upon introduction of CO 2 (Figure S2).…”
