Efficient O2 Catalysts And Electrolytes Development

Efficient oxygen (O2) electrocatalysts and electrolytes development is an area of active research in the field of energy storage. The development of efficient O2 catalysts and electrolytes is essential for the advancement of high-energy-density lithium (Li)-O2 batteries, which have the potential to revolutionize the energy storage industry.



One of the major challenges in the development of Li-O2 batteries is the sluggish kinetics of O2 reduction reaction (ORR) and O2 evolution reaction (OER) at the cathode and anode, respectively. The development of efficient O2 electrocatalysts is crucial to overcome these challenges. In recent years, significant progress has been made in the development of efficient O2 electrocatalysts based on transition metal oxides, such as cobalt oxide (Co3O4), manganese oxide (MnO2), and nickel oxide (NiO).



In this book Author explain, how the development of efficient O2 electrocatalysts and electrolytes is crucial for the successful operation of high-energy-density Li-O2 batteries. Significant progress has been made in this area, and various materials and electrolytes have shown promising results.
