Description

Application of copper-based compound multifunctional catalyst in lithium air battery
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of lithium air batteries, and particularly relates to an application of a copper-based compound multifunctional catalyst in a lithium air battery.
Background
Lithium air batteries have an extremely high theoretical energy density (11400 Wh. kg)-1) The electrochemical energy storage device is considered as one of the most potential electrochemical energy storage devices, and is expected to become a new generation energy technology for solving the problems of long-distance transportation of electric automobiles and the like. The negative active material of the lithium-air battery is metal lithium, and the positive active material is oxygen from the air, so that the cost can be greatly reduced, and the weight and the volume of the lithium-air battery can be reduced. The battery reaction mechanism is as follows: during the discharging process, the negative electrode metal lithium loses electrons to generate lithium ions and electrons, and then the lithium ions and the electrons are respectively transmitted to the positive electrode through electrolyte inside the battery and an external circuit, and react with oxygen obtained from the air to generate a discharging product lithium peroxide; during charging, lithium peroxide, which is a discharge product on the positive electrode, is decomposed to generate lithium ions, oxygen and electrons, and then the lithium ions and the electrons are respectively transmitted to the negative electrode through the electrolyte and an external circuit to be combined to generate the metal lithium.
However, the lithium-air battery at present still has a series of technical problems of low actual energy density, poor rate performance, short cycle life and the like. The key to the performance of the lithium-air battery is the slow kinetics of the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR, corresponding to the discharge process) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER, corresponding to the charge process) caused by the insulating and insoluble nature of the discharge product, lithium peroxide. Therefore, it is highly desirable to develop a highly efficient catalyst to accelerate the electrode reaction and thus improve the overall performance of the lithium air battery.
In recent years, solid catalysts have been widely used in lithium air batteries, and the performance of the batteries has been improved to some extent. However, when a solid catalyst is used, it reacts with the discharge product Li2O2The contact between the two is solid-solid contact, and the contact area is limited, so that the catalytic activity of the catalyst cannot be fully exerted. Plus the discharge product Li2O2Insoluble, non-conductive characteristics, Li in the course of discharge2O2The accumulation on the surface of the catalyst can cover the active sites on the surface of the catalyst, so that the active sites cannot be directly connected with the oxygen of the active substanceThe contact causes a reduction in the capacity of the battery. Li in direct contact with solid catalyst during charging2O2After decomposition, a void is formed between the two, and the solid catalyst cannot react with the remaining undecomposed Li2O2Contact, and thus, it is difficult to continue the exertion of the activity of the catalyst, resulting in a decrease in charge capacity, an increase in charge overpotential, and a reduction in the cycle life of the battery. To this end, the researchers have proposed solutions using soluble liquid catalysts (also known as Redox catalysts, RMs). It can be uniformly dissolved in electrolyte, and can react with active material and Li in the course of working of battery2O2Form homogeneous solid-liquid contact. During charge/discharge, the liquid phase catalyst is first electrochemically oxidized/reduced and then separately oxidized/reduced with Li2O2And O2The chemical reaction is carried out, the electrode reaction is accelerated, and the comprehensive performance of the battery is improved. However, the liquid phase catalyst inevitably shuttles to and reacts with the lithium metal negative electrode during use due to its mobile characteristics, thereby causing self-discharge, consumption of lithium metal, and shortening of battery life.
