Problems solved by technology

Depletion of carbon electrodes leads to a drop in battery energy density
In addition, during the charging process of lithium-oxygen batteries, the generated lithium carbonate has a high decomposition potential and is difficult to completely decompose.
Accumulated lithium carbonate clogs the electrodes and eventually causes the battery to fail
Therefore, the use of carbon materials as oxygen electrodes will bring three problems to lithium-oxygen batteries: low discharge capacity, high charge-discharge overpotential (low energy conversion efficiency) and poor cycle performance (short life)
These methods have some drawbacks and limitations: the synthesis conditions are harsh and difficult to control, the powder yield is low and the cost is high
These methods are suitable for laboratory research, not suitable for industrial production

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a secondary battery, in particular to a preparation method and application of a noble metal or noble metal oxide catalyst for the secondary battery. Background technique [0002] The lithium-oxygen battery has an ultra-high energy density, its theoretical energy density is equivalent to that of gasoline, and its actual energy density can also be several times that of the existing lithium-ion battery. It is expected to be used as an electric vehicle energy storage battery, and can also be used as a stationary storage power station battery. A lithium-oxygen battery cell usually consists of three parts: a lithium negative electrode, an electrolyte, and an oxygen electrode positive electrode. Carbon materials are currently the main catalyst materials for oxygen electrodes because of their low cost, high electronic conductivity and high catalytic activity. Unfortunately, carbon materials and the target product lithium peroxide (Li...
