Li Ion Exchanged α-MnO2 Nanowires as Efficient Catalysts for Li-O2 Batteries

doi:10.1007/s40242-020-0077-3

Abstract

Abstract: Due to the limited energy densities, which could be achieved by lithium-ion cells, Li-O₂ batteries, which could provide a promising super energy storage medium, attract much attention nowadays. For its high activity, high storage and low cost, Mn-based oxides have shown versatile application in various batteries. To enhance the cyclability of Li-O₂ batteries, here, we synthesized a kind of α-MnO₂ nanowires as a bifunctional catalyst for Li-O₂ batteries. The particular structure of α-MnO₂ reduces the mass transfer resistance of the battery, and the MnO₂ nanowires were ion exchanged by saturated lithium sulfate solution so as to further improve the performance of the catalyst. The exchanged α-MnO₂ catalyst showed a high discharge specific capacity(6243 mA·h/g at a current density of 200 mA/g) and significantly improved the cyclability up to the 55th cycle(200 mA/g with capacity of 1000 mA·h/g). The results show that the Li ion exchange method is a promising strategy for improving the performance of MnO₂ catalyst for Li-O₂ batteries.

Key words: MnO₂ nanowire, Electrocatalyst, Ion exchange, Li-O₂ battery
