“…However, only a small amount of O 2 is detected, indicating that a large amount of O species has been consumed. Therefore, the charge process should be 2Li 2 CO 3 → 4Li + + 50 To further confirm the crystal structure of the discharge product, XRD and XPS characterizations were further conducted. After discharge to 1000 mAh g −1 , the cathodes show apparent XRD peaks at 30.6, 31.8, 34.1, and 39.9°compared to the fresh cathodes, which can be ascribed to the diffraction of (2̅ 02), (002), (1̅ 12), and (310) planes of Li 2 CO 3 .…”

The cathodic product Li 2 CO 3 , due to its high decomposition potential, has hindered the practical application of rechargeable Li-CO 2 /O 2 batteries. To overcome this bottleneck, a Pt/FeNC cathodic catalyst is fabricated by dispersing Pt nanoparticles (NPs) with a uniform size of 2.4 nm and 8.3 wt % loading amount into a porous microcube FeNC support for high-performance rechargeable Li-CO 2 /O 2 batteries. The FeNC matrix is composed of numerous two-dimensional (2D) carbon nanosheets, which is derived from an Fe-doping zinc metal−organic framework (Zn-MOF). Importantly, using Pt/FeNC as the cathodic catalyst, the Li-CO 2 /O 2 (V COd 2 /V Od 2 = 4:1) battery displays the lowest overpotential of 0.54 V and a long-term stability of 142 cycles, which is superior to batteries with FeNC (1.67 V, 47 cycles) and NC (1.87 V, 23 cycles) catalysts. The FeNC matrix and Pt NPs can exert a synergetic effect to decrease the decomposition potential of Li 2 CO 3 and thus enhance the battery performance. In situ Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy further confirms that Li 2 CO 3 can be completely decomposed under a low potential of 3.3 V using the Pt/FeNC catalyst. Impressively, Li 2 CO 3 exhibits a film structure on the surface of the Pt/FeNC catalysts by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and its size can be limited by the confined space between the carbon sheets in Pt/FeNC, which enlarges the better contacting interface. In addition, density functional theory (DFT) calculations reveal that the Pt and FeNC catalysts show a higher adsorption energy for Li 2 CO 3 and Li 2 CO 4 intermediates compared to the NC catalyst, and the possible discharge pathways are deeply investigated. The synergetic effect between the FeNC support and Pt active sites makes the Li-CO 2 /O 2 battery achieve optimal performance.

Li−CO 2 batteries with high theoretical energy densities are recognized as next-generation energy storage devices for addressing the range anxiety and environmental issues encountered in the field of electric transportation. However, cathode catalysts with unsatisfactory activity toward CO 2 absorption and reduction/evolution reactions hinder the development of Li−CO 2 batteries with desired specific capacities and sufficient cycle numbers. In this work, a multifunctional nanofibrous cathode catalyst that integrates N-rich carbon shells embedded with molybdenum carbide nanoparticles and multiwalled carbon nanotube cores was designed and prepared. The N-rich carbon shell could strengthen the absorption capacity of CO 2 and Li 2 CO 3 . The molybdenum carbide nanoparticles would improve the catalytic activity of both CO 2 reduction and evolution reactions. The carbon nanotube cores would provide an efficient network for electron transportation. The synergistic effect of the cathode catalysts enhances the electrochemical performance of Li−CO 2 batteries. A high cycling stability of more than 150 cycles at a current density of 250 mA g −1 with a cutoff capacity of 1000 mAh g −1 and a charge/discharge overpotential of less than 1.5 V is achieved. This work provides a feasible strategy for the design of a high-performance cathode catalyst for lithium−air batteries.
