Problems solved by technology

The fundamental reason is that during the operation of the battery, by-products and undecomposed Li 2 o 2 Continuous accumulation at the cathode creates a non-conductive passivation layer, resulting in limited electron transfer at the positive electrode
Liquid-phase catalyst molecules cannot be quickly regenerated, resulting in a continuous increase in the charging potential of the battery, further deteriorating the battery cycle condition

Embodiment 1

[0042] A method for assembling a lithium-oxygen battery with a double-cathode structure, the process is as follows:

[0043] (1) Preparation of electrolyte: LiTFSI, DBBQ, and TEMPO were dissolved in TEGDME to obtain electrolyte; the concentrations of LiTFSI, DBBQ, and TEMPO in TEGDME were 1 mol / L, 0.05 mol / L, and 0.2 mol / L, respectively;

[0044] (2) Preparation of the inner cathode: cut the carbon film into a disc with a diameter of 1.6 cm, and then dry it in a vacuum oven at 80 °C for 24 hours;

[0045] (3) Preparation of the gas barrier layer: the polypropylene film was cut into discs with a diameter of 1.6 cm. The porosity of the original barrier layer was 15% as measured by the scanning electron microscope; at the same time, for comparison, two other discs with a diameter of 1.6 cm were prepared. cm polypropylene membrane discs, two discs were treated by a plasma cleaning machine (power 11W) at room temperature for 5 min and 10 min respectively to obtain gas barrier layer...

Embodiment 2

[0051] A method for assembling a lithium-air battery with a double-cathode structure, the process is as follows:

[0052] The difference from Example 1 is that the gas atmosphere in step (7) is air with a humidity of 25%. The production process of the battery is as follows: assemble the above-mentioned single-cathode lithium-oxygen battery and double-cathode lithium-oxygen battery in an argon-filled glove box, package, and then transfer the battery to an air atmosphere with a humidity of 25%, let it stand for four hours, and seal it , and tested in a constant temperature oven at a temperature of 30°C.

Embodiment 3

[0054] A preparation method of a conventional lithium-oxygen battery, the process is as follows:

[0055] The difference from Example 1 lies in the preparation of the electrolyte in step (1): dissolving LiTFSI in TEGDME to obtain an electrolyte; the concentration of LiTFSI is 1 mol / L.

[0056] The difference from Example 1 is that there is no PSS-Li / GO-Li / GF separator and no gas barrier layer in step (6). That is, the assembly sequence of a conventional lithium-oxygen battery is a lithium sheet, a glass fiber separator soaked in 90 μL of the above-mentioned LiTFSI electrolyte, an inner cathode, and an outer cathode.

[0057] To study the discharge electrodes after cycling, the cells were disassembled in an Ar-filled glove box. Carefully remove the electrode and immerse it in ethylene glycol dimethyl ether (DME) for about 6 h. The dipping process is then repeated several times to completely remove the electrolyte. Thereafter, the electrodes were placed in a vacuum chamber to...

Abstract

The invention discloses a double-cathode structure and a lithium-oxygen battery prepared from the double-cathode structure. The double-cathode structure comprises an inner-layer cathode, a gas barrierlayer and an outer-layer cathode. The double-cathode structure is applied to the lithium-oxygen battery, the inner-layer cathode provides a new electron transfer channel for activation of a liquid-phase catalyst, continuous low charging voltage of the battery is guaranteed, and then side reactions are reduced. The deposition of Li2O2 in the inner-layer cathode is prevented through the gas barrierlayer, so that the effective conduction of electron transfer between the inner-layer cathode and the liquid-phase catalyst is ensured. The outer cathode has the effects of transferring electrons andstoring Li2O2 discharge products. According to the lithium oxygen battery with the double-cathode structure, the problem that a liquid-phase catalyst cannot be activated due to accumulation of byproducts on the cathode of the traditional lithium oxygen battery is solved, and the double-cathode structure is an advanced lithium oxygen battery structure so far.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of lithium-oxygen batteries, and in particular relates to a double-cathode structure and a lithium-oxygen battery prepared by using the structure. Background technique [0002] The theoretical energy density of aprotic lithium-oxygen battery is as high as 3500 Wh kg -1 , which is an order of magnitude higher than the current commercial lithium-ion battery energy density, so it has broad application prospects in electric vehicles, portable power supplies and other fields. [0003] Lithium-oxygen battery discharge product Li 2 o 2 The inherent low electronic conductivity of lithium batteries and the presence of active intermediates in the positive electrode reaction process lead to limited electron transfer and a large number of side reactions in the positive electrode reaction, resulting in limited cycle life and specific capacity of the battery, which restricts the practical application of lithium oxygen b...
