主 题:lithium-oxygen batteries redox mediators shuttle effects protective separators zeolite molecular sieves
摘 要:Lithium-oxygen(Li-O_(2))batteries have a great potential in energy storage and conversion due to their ultra-high theoretical specific energy,but their applications are hindered by sluggish redox reaction kinetics in the charge/discharge *** mediators(RMs),as soluble catalysts,are widely used to facilitate the electrochemical processes in the Li-O_(2)batteries.A drawback of RMs is the shuttle effect due to their solubility and mobility,which leads to the corrosion of a Li metal anode and the degradation of the electrochemical performance of the ***,we synthesize a polymer-based composite protective separator containing molecular *** nanopores with a diameter of 4Åin the zeolite powder(4A zeolite)are able to physically block the migration of 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidinyloxy(TEMPO)molecules with a larger size;therefore,the shuttle effect of TEMPO is *** the assistance of the zeolite molecular sieves,the cycle life of the Li-O_(2)batteries is significantly extended from~20 to 170 cycles at a current density of 250 mA·g^(-1)and a limited capacity of 500 mAh·g^(-1).Our work provides a highly effective approach to suppress the shuttle effects of RMs and boost the electrochemical performance of Li-O_(2)batteries.
