In this work, we introduce trimethylbromosilane (CHSiBr), which can protect lithium metal anodes an formed SEI layer while catalyzing the decomposition of LiO. As a result, lithium-oxygen batteries with CHSiBr offer a long cycle life of 110 cycles with a significantly reduced charging/discharging overpotential.

The utilization of redox mediators (RMs) in lithium-oxygen batteries (LOBs) has underscored their utility in high overpotential during the charging process. Among the currently known RMs, it is exceptionally challenging to identify those with a redox potential capable of attenuating singlet oxygen (O) generation while resisting degradation by reactive oxygen species (ROS), such as O and superoxide (O ). In this context, computational and experimental approaches for rational molecular design have led to the development of 7,7'-bi-7-azabicyclo[2.

Developing highly active and durable non-noble metal catalysts is crucial for energy conversion and storage, especially for proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) and lithium-oxygen (Li-O) batteries. Non-noble metal catalysts are considered the greatest potential candidates to replace noble metal catalysts in PEMFCs and Li-O batteries. Herein, we propose a novel type of non-noble metal catalyst (Fe-Hf/N/C) doped with Hf into a mesoporous carbon material derived from Hf-ZIF-8 and co-doping with Fe and N, which greatly enhanced the activity and durability of the catalyst.

Despite the ultrahigh theoretical energy density and cost-effectiveness, aprotic lithium-oxygen (Li-O) batteries suffer from slow oxygen redox kinetics at cathodes and large voltage hysteresis. Here, we well-design ultrafine Co nanoparticles supported by N-doped mesoporous hollow carbon nanospindles (Co@HCNs) to serve as efficient electrocatalysts for Li-O battery. Benefiting from strong metal-support interactions, the obtained Co@HCNs manifest high affinity for the LiO intermediate, promoting formation of ultrathin nanosheet-like LiO with low-impedance contact interface on the Co@HCNs cathode surface, which facilitates the reversible decomposition upon charging.

Article Synopsis
- Lithium-oxygen batteries theoretically provide high energy, but practical discharge capacity is hindered by the formation of LiO on the electrode surface, which creates a barrier.
- Research using electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance (EQCM) revealed that electrode orientation significantly affects LiO deposition and identified two modes of dissolution: surface dissolution and bulk fragmentation, with the latter being much faster.
- By optimizing the dissolution process through an intermittent-desorption strategy, the discharge capacity of lithium-oxygen batteries was dramatically increased, demonstrating that overcoming LiO dissolution issues could enhance battery performance significantly.
