Abstract
For the development of rechargeable lithium-oxygen (Li-O2) batteries, it has been necessary to solve the issue of sluggish kinetics of both oxygen reduction reaction and oxygen evolution reaction. A bi-functional hybrid catalyst composed of pyrochlore Bi2Ru2O7 nanoparticles (BRO NPs) and reduced graphene oxide (rGO) sheets was prepared and its catalytic properties were investigated for application in Li-O2 batteries. As-prepared BRO NPs anchored on rGO composites (BRO@rGO) in O2-electrode exhibited high initial discharge capacity (ca. 6022.8 mAh g−1). Additionally, the BRO@rGO electrode showed lifetime stability over 56 cyclings with a lower over-potential of 1.15 V at a current density of 200 mA g−1 when the charge/discharge capacity was limited to 500 mAh g−1, as compared with BRO NPs and ketjenblack carbon. This improved performance proves that this composite material of pyrochlore BRO NPs with rGO nanosheets can be promising ORR/OER catalysts for the development of Li-O2 batteries.
对于可充电锂氧(Li-O2)电池的发展,必须解决氧还原反应和氧释放反应动力学缓慢的问题。制备了一种由焦绿石Bi2Ru2O7纳米颗粒(BRO NPs)和还原氧化石墨烯(rGO)片组成的双功能杂化催化剂,并研究了其在Li-O2电池中的催化性能。在o2电极中,固定在氧化石墨烯复合材料(BRO@rGO)上的制备的BRO NPs具有高的初始放电容量(约6022.8 mAh g−1)。此外,与BRO NPs和ketjenblack carbon相比,BRO@rGO电极在200 mA g−1的电流密度下,当充放电容量限制在500 mAh g−1时,其寿命稳定性超过56次,过电位较低,为1.15 V。这一改进的性能证明,这种由焦绿盐BRO NPs与还原氧化石墨烯纳米片组成的复合材料有望成为Li-O2电池发展的ORR/OER催化剂。
