Illuminating the Future: Sunlight-Powered Catalysis Unlocks Next-Generation Li–O₂ Battery Performance

The Journal of Physical Chemistry Letters, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: unknown, P. 1644 - 1651

Published: Feb. 6, 2025

Lithium-oxygen (Li-O2) batteries have an extremely high theoretical specific energy but are hindered by the sluggish kinetics of oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Visible-light-assisted photocatalysts can accelerate OER kinetics. However, photoinvolved electrochemical process at cathode remains insufficiently understood, and interlaboratory results not comparable reproducible. In fact, sunlight or a xenon lamp as light source induces notable photothermal effect in batteries, while its impact on is always underappreciated. Here, self-illuminating photocatalyst composed g-C3N4 catalysts Sr2MgSi2O7:Eu,Dy phosphors designed to decouple photo thermal effects Typically, photocatalytic dominate low external illumination powers, increase linearly with power. This work provides quantitative basis for benchmarking catalytic performance various photocatalysts. Moreover, proof concept, this study offers new insights developing integrated photoassisted Li-O2 batteries.

Published: Jan. 11, 2025

Lithium–tellurium (Li–Te) batteries are gaining attention as a promising next-generation energy storage system due to their superior electrical conductivity and high volumetric capacity compared sulfur selenium. Tellurium's unique properties, such suitable redox potential, excellent conductivity, capacity, greatest stability, position it strong candidate for negative electrode materials. This study explores the potential of metal tellurides, specifically CuTe FeTe monolayers, effective tellurium host materials, leveraging polar interactions with lithium polytellurides. Using density functional theory (DFT) approaches, we investigated thermodynamic adsorption behavior, conversion performance polytellurides on experimentally synthesized tellurides. ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) simulations confirmed stability these materials at 300 °C, 350 400 °C. Our findings indicate that monolayer provides anchoring effect exhibits lowest barrier from Te8 Li2Te, significantly enhancing electrochemical reaction reducing shuttle effect. Additionally, demonstrated low activation 0.297 eV key Li2Te (−3.511 eV), well diffusion Li ions. In addition interaction polytellurides, solvent studies revealed moderate energies CuTe, ranging −43.435 −54.297 kJ/mol solvents like DEC, DMC, DME, DOL, EC, EMC, PC, suggesting strong, but nondisruptive, binding electrolyte solvents. Lithium solvents, which ranged −0.359 −0.648 eV, further in typical environments. These along its capabilities, suggest is highly cathode Li–Te batteries. results provide valuable insights design optimization batteries, advancing development efficient stable systems.

Will Iron Forge the Future of Metal‐Air Batteries in Grid Scale Energy Storage?

ChemSusChem, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: unknown

Published: March 17, 2025

Abstract The community is exploring sustainable alternatives for grid‐scale energy storage. Besides lithium‐ion batteries (LIBs), such technologies with a focus on sustainability aspects offer only limited solution Rechargeable metal‐air (MABs) based affordable abundant multivalent metal anodes in aqueous medium provide promising theoretical metrics, as volumetric capacity, but do not completely fulfill their potential when scaled from lab to commercial products. Both the anode and air cathode need be addressed: corrosion, hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) during charging, passivation all diminish anode's effective density shelf life, while cathode's challenges include sluggish kinetics, low efficiency, poor stability. Nevertheless, this Perspective highlights iron‐air MABs an appealing alternative storage, since iron affordable, recyclable, has multielectron reversible redox activity, historically rich experience production processing, safe handle. Given that further research will directed composition design of electrolytes electrodes, it may lead advances scaling commercialization, well reducing environmental impact secondary utilized storage next decades.
