Conventional binders in the cathode of Li-O 2 batteries are insulated, and integrate with the catalyst and the conducting carbon-support by physical mixing. This limits the transfer of electrons, degrades the cathode structure due to swelling, and finally leads to capacity fading and is deleterious to cycleability. In this study, we realized, for the first time, a one-step fabricated Co 3 O 4 -PPy cathode characterized by an in-situ formed conductive polymer binder. The functional binder, polypyrrole (PPy), was synthesized through electrical method, which acted as both the binder and supporting material in the Li-O 2 battery. Based on the conductive property of PPy, we obtained the Co 3 O 4 -PPy@Ni electrode via the process of CV electro-deposition. This method results in uniform distribution of Co 3 O 4 nanoparticles and can simplify the preparation process of the air cathodes. The Li-O 2 battery with the Co 3 O 4 -PPy@Ni cathode can discharge/charge for over 30 cycles under the limited specific capacity of 1000 mAh/g. The cycleability and impedance spectra of the Li-O 2 battery with the functional binder of PPy are superior to the battery with conventional binders.

Porous Co 3 Mo 3 N nanorods were prepared by hydrothermal process combined with ammonia annealing and applied as catalyst in Li-O 2 battery cell. The battery with the porous Co 3 Mo 3 N nanorods showed a higher initial discharge capacity of 7902.8 mAh/g c at current density of 100 mAh/g c than that with the pure Ketjen black. Moreover, the Co 3 Mo 3 N-based electrode displayed lower overpotential and better cycling performance than that of the carbon-only cathode. Such performance can be associated with the synergistic effects of high electrocatalytic activity and porous structure of the Co 3 Mo 3 N nanorods.

The main bottleneck in the application of biomass-based carbon material in energy field is the development of an economical, nanoscale controllable and universal fabrication method . Herein, we demonstrate that a biomass-derived carbon consisting of loose carbon nanosphere clusters could serve as an ideal cathode material for high performance Li-O 2 batteries . The carbon nanomaterial can be prepared from both biomass derivatives and crude biomass by a low cost, facile and nanoscale controllable method. The open slit-shaped hierarchical pore structure endows the electrode sufficient active surface sites and mass transport channels that are not easily asphyxiated by the discharge products. The concentration of oxygenic groups and structure defects on the surface of obtained carbon materials is very low, which minimizes the side reactions associated with carbon decomposition. The unique pore structure and surface properties of the carbon electrode give rise to a superhigh specific capacity of 20,300 mA h g −1 and an extremely long cycle life which a cyclic capacity retention of 100% is maintained for 543 cycles with current density of 0.2 mA cm −2 at controlled discharge-charge depths of 500 mA h g −1 .

Reduction of CO 2 in presence of oxidative impurity ( e.g. , O 2 ) is more promising than utilization of pure CO 2 due to skyrocketing cost for purification of captured CO 2 from air or industrial exhaust gas. In this work, Ni-based catalysts are modified by CeO 2 and ZrO 2 to suppress negative effect of O 2 on reforming of CO 2 with methane, which show high CH 4 conversion (97 %) and CO 2 conversion (95 %) at 750 °C and can maintain high CO 2 conversion even with high O 2 content. The physicochemical characterizations on fresh and spent catalysts show that the interaction among Ni, CeO 2 and ZrO 2 results in well dispersion of smaller Ni particles, even after long-term testing. In situ DRIFTS results show that Ni/CeO 2 -ZrO 2 -SiO 2 catalyst shows advantage to activate CH 4 to generate active CH 3 *, promoting the formation of CO, and the CeO 2 -ZrO 2 solid solution improves the CO 2 adsorption, thereby reducing the competitive effect of CO 2 and O 2 .

Five equimolar multicomponent oxides were synthesized by replacing one of five cations in (Ce 0.2 Zr 0.2 Ti 0.2 Sn 0.2 Hf 0.2 )O 2 with Ca 2+ . The results reveal that except for the one in which Ce 4+ replaced by Ca 2+ , the other four components can form single-phase high-entropy fluorite oxides (HEFOs) at different temperatures, which indicates that Ce 4+ is very important for the formation of single-phase HEFOs. The sintering behavior, lattice parameter and properties containing density, porosity, flexural strength and thermal conductivity of the four single-phase HEFOs were investigated. With the change of substituted ions, grain size, relative density, flexural strength and thermal conductivity of the materials vary greatly, which are correlated to the size disorder and mass disorder of these materials. The results of this paper provide a reference for the composition designing and performance tailoring of equimolar HEFOs.

Li-O 2 battery(LOB) has an ultrahigh specific capacity(3500 W·h/kg), however, its slow kinetics of oxygen reduction reaction(ORR) and oxygen evolution reaction(OER) at cathode often leads to a high overpotential, a limited discharge capacity, and a poor cycling performance. Therefore, it is important to design and prepare cathode materials with a excellent catalytic activity. In this study, CeO 2 nanoparticles(NPs) supported on reduced graphene oxide(rGO) have been prepared and employed as cathode. Compared with either CeO 2 NPs or rGO, CeO 2 /rGO cathode greatly improves the discharge capacity(10644 mA·h/g at a current density of 100 mA/g) and the cycling performance(95 cycles at 200 mA/g with a limited capacity of 500 mA·h/g) by virtue of the good conductivity of rGO and the oxygen storage/release capability of CeO 2 .

Lithium-oxygen batteries show great energy storage potential due to their high energy density . However, it is difficult for conventional liquid electrolytes to form a stable solid electrolyte interface (SEI) on cathode surface to ensure long-term stable cycling of lithium-oxygen batteries . Herein, LiBOB is added to the LiTFSI-based electrolyte to solve the above-mentioned problems. By introducing LiBOB into LiTFSI single-salt electrolyte system, the electron delocalization of the BOB − anion induces the dissociation equilibrium of the lithium salt to occur positively and the formed electrolyte exhibits good ionic conductivity . Different amounts of LiBOB show different characteristics in electrochemical performance. Trace amounts of LiBOB as an additive increase the solvation of Li + and improve the discharge capacity of the cell. Furthermore, the synergistic effect of the LiTFSI-LiBOB dual-salt electrolyte forms a protective SEI when LiBOB has a larger proportion of lithium salts in the electrolyte, resulting in comparable cycling performance. This work demonstrates a promising approach to design electrolytes for long-term stable cycling of lithium-oxygen batteries.

Although metal-rich biochar (M-BC) is widely used in soil remediation and pollution control, the activation mechanism of molecular oxygen (O2) by M-BC still needs to be clarified due to the low metal loading. In this study, we enhanced the manganese content of low-temperature manganese-rich biochar (Mn-BC) by treating it with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), resulting in the formation of MnBC-Hx (where x represents the volume of H2O2 used in mL). MnBC-H5 was particularly effective in activating O2, leading to the successful degradation of phenol and dyes. Characterizations showed that the MnII in the outer layer of MnC2O4·2H2O nanoparticles evenly dispersed over Mn-BC was oxidized to MnIII by H2O2. This process was accompanied by the removal of coordinated H2O, resulting in the formation of MnIIIC2O4 on MnBC-H5. Under visible light irradiation, MnIII can bind to O2 to form MnIIIOOH species, which facilitates the transfer of charges and generates superoxide radicals (·O2–) that effectively degrade organics. Notably, MnIII of MnBC-H5 remains stable after the organic degradation reaction. This study will not only provide a theoretical basis for developing environmentally friendly biochar-based catalysts but also promote the study of the environmental effects of biochar.

P2-Na 0.67 Ni 0.33 Mn 0.67 O 2 cathode material is considered as an ideal cathode material for sodium-ion batteries due to its high capacity. However, it has P2-O2 phase transition, which leads to fast capacity decay. This paper investigates the effect of Zn/Al co-substitution on their chemical-electrical properties. The experimental results show that this strategy successfully transforms the unfavorable P2-O2 phase transition that occurs in the material during cycling into a reversible P2-OP4 phase transition, and the reversible capacity and capacity retention of the P2-type cathode material are significantly improved. It maintains a high energy density of up to 444 Wh·Kg −1 in the first five charge/discharge cycles, facilitating the future practical implementation and commercialization of the material.

Typical high-entropy fluorite oxides with five metal cations have exhibited improved thermomechanical properties . In this work, we have successfully prepared single-phase high-entropy (Zr 0.2 Ce 0.2 Hf 0.2 Y 0.2 Al 0.2 )O 2-δ fluorite oxides through the combination of sol-gel method and calcination , using metal nitrate/chloride, citric acid and absolute ethanol as the primary raw materials. A series of characterizations were employed for chemical, morphological and structural analysis of the calcined products. The five cationic elements were shown to be uniformly distributed in the nearly pure fluorite oxide without apparent segregation at the micro/nano-meter scales after 1500 °C calcination. Annealing and water quenching within the test temperature range did not witness any appreciable phase transition. It is revealed that the concentration of Ce 3+ in Ce ions reaches 33.84% and δ is equal to 0.234, yielding a nominal composition of (Zr 0.2 Ce 0.2 Hf 0.2 Y 0.2 Al 0.2 )O 1.766 . Cation and anion configurational entropy were found to be 1.609 R and 0.722 R, respectively, where R is the ideal gas constant, for a sum of the total configurational entropy of 2.331 R in the high-entropy system. Line defects inside the crystals and 3 types of crystalline boundary structures have been observed and identified among the mostly atomically sharp grain boundaries.

Electrochemiluminescence (ECL) of luminol is a well-established methodology in analytical chemistry and bioimaging. Developing novel strategies to enhance the ECL signal of this model emitter is a challenging but rewarding task. In this work, we introduced the high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU), as a pretreatment means and a non-invasive way to trigger and boost the ECL signal with a 40-fold significant enhancement in the luminol-O 2 system without the addition of exogenous co-reactants. The superoxide anion (O 2 −• ) generated in situ by HIFU was the key initiator for boosting the ECL emission as demonstrated in this study for the first time. This promising co-reactant-free strategy could find potential applications for ultrasensitive ECL detection in the analysis of complex biological entities. Graphical abstract

The practical application of lithium–oxygen (Li–O2) batteries is limited by the formation of lithium dendrites and the use of flammable and unstable organic liquid electrolytes, which would cause safety issues and poor cycling stability. Herein, we present a bilayer organic/inorganic hybrid solid-state electrolyte to improve the safety and enhance the electrochemical performance of Li–O2 batteries. Si-doped NASICON-type electrolyte Li1.511Al0.5Ge1.5Si0.01P2.99O12 (LAGP-Si) serves as an inorganic rigid backbone to guarantee high ionic conductivity and provide a barrier between active oxygen and lithium anode. Poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate (PEGMEM) is chosen as a polymer buffer layer due to its compatibility with lithium. Benefiting from the synergistic effect between LAGP-Si and PEGMEM, the obtained hybrid electrolyte exhibits high ionic conductivity and good stability against lithium anode. Consequently, the polarization of the Li symmetric cell is dramatically reduced by replacing pure LAGP-Si with a bilayer hybrid electrolyte. The solid-state Li–O2 batteries employing a PEGMEM@LAGP-Si electrolyte deliver a greater initial discharge–charge capacity of 7.3 mAh cm–2 and enhanced cyclic performance for 39 cycles with a restricted capacity of 0.4 mAh cm–2. The present work delivers a promising category of hybrid solid electrolytes for high-performance solid-state Li–O2 batteries.
