研究目的
Development of high efficient catalysts based on transition metal oxides (TMOs) for lithium-oxygen (Li-O2) batteries.
研究成果
The Co3O4-TiO2(B) hybrid catalyst demonstrated high specific capacity, good cycling stability, and low polarization in Li-O2 batteries. The introduction of Co3O4 nanocrystals induced oxygen vacancies on TiO2(B) nanosheets, enhancing the catalytic performance. This work provides insights into designing efficient catalysts through interface engineering between 2D and 0D TMOs.
研究不足
The study focuses on the synthesis and electrochemical performance of Co3O4-TiO2(B) as a cathode catalyst for Li-O2 batteries. Potential limitations include the scalability of the synthesis method and the long-term stability under practical operating conditions.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The synthesis of atomic-thick TiO2(B) nanosheets decorated with ultrafine Co3O4 nanocrystals (Co3O4-TiO2(B)) was achieved through a solvothermal method.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
TiO2(B) nanosheets were synthesized first, followed by decoration with Co3O4 nanocrystals.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Titanium isopropoxide (TTIP), F127 (Polyethylene-polypropylene glycol), concentrated HCl solution, ethanol, ethylene glycol (EG), Co(OAc)2 4H2O, ammonia.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The synthesis involved a two-step solvothermal process, first for TiO2(B) nanosheets and then for Co3O4-TiO2(B) hybrid.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
XRD, Raman spectroscopy, SEM, FETEM, XPS, BET method for specific surface area, electrochemical measurements including CV and discharge-charge tests.
