Ether-based electrolytes are commonly used in Li–O2 batteries (LOBs) because of their relatively high stability. But they are still prone to be attacked by superoxides or singlet oxygen via hydrogen abstract reactions, which leads to performance decaying during long-term operation. Herein we propose a methylated cyclic ether, 2,2,4,4,5,5-hexamethyl-1,3-dioxolane (HMD), as a stable electrolyte solvent for LOBs. Such a compound does not contain any hydrogen atoms on the alpha-carbon of the ether, and thus avoids hydrogen abstraction reactions. As the result, this solvent exhibits excellent stability with the presence of superoxide or singlet oxygen. In addition the CO2 evolution during charge process is prohibited. The LOB with HMD-based electrolyte was able to run up to 157 cycles, 4 times more than with 1,3-dioxolane (DOL) or 1,2-dimethoxyethane (DME) based electrolytes.

The parasitic reactions associated with reduced oxygen species and the difficulty in achieving the high theoretical capacity have been major issues plaguing development of practical nonaqueous Li-O2 batteries. We hereby address the above issues by exploring the synergistic effect of 2,5-di-tert-butyl-1,4-benzoquinone and H2O on the oxygen chemistry in a nonaqueous Li-O2 battery. Water stabilizes the quinone monoanion and dianion, shifting the reduction potentials of the quinone and monoanion to more positive values (vs Li/Li+). When water and the quinone are used together in a (largely) nonaqueous Li-O2 battery, the cell discharge operates via a two-electron oxygen reduction reaction to form Li2O2, with the battery discharge voltage, rate, and capacity all being considerably increased and fewer side reactions being detected. Li2O2 crystals can grow up to 30 μm, more than an order of magnitude larger than cases with the quinone alone or without any additives, suggesting that water is essential to promoting a solution dominated process with the quinone on discharging. The catalytic reduction of O2 by the quinone monoanion is predominantly responsible for the attractive features mentioned above. Water stabilizes the quinone monoanion via hydrogen-bond formation and by coordination of the Li+ ions, and it also helps increase the solvation, concentration, lifetime, and diffusion length of reduced oxygen species that dictate the discharge voltage, rate, and capacity of the battery. When a redox mediator is also used to aid the charging process, a high-power, high energy density, rechargeable Li-O2 battery is obtained.

The understanding of lithium-oxygen coordination systems is important for making better lithium conductors as well as active materials for lithium ion batteries. Here, we report a systematic investigation on coordination environments in lithium coordination polymers (LCPs) through the syntheses and analyses of six new crystals composed of lithium ions and anthraquinone (aq) derivative anions, where the negative charges are distributed in π-conjugation systems. Their structures were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction to be (1) [Li2(23dcaq)(H2O)] in space group P21/c, (2) [Li(23dcaqH)] in P21/c, (3) [Li2(15dhaq)(H2O)2] in P21/c, (4) [Li2(14dhaq)(H2O)2] in Pnma, (5) [Li(14dhaqH)(H2O)] in P212121 and (6) [Li(14hnaq)(H2O)] in P212121 (23dcaq2- = 2,3-dicarboxy-aq, 14dhaq2- = 1,4-dihydroxy-aq, 15dhaq2- = 1,5-dihydroxy-aq and 14hnaq- = 1-hydroxy-4-nitro-aq). Through the comprehensive structure analysis of these materials as well as other LCPs, we found that when considering the longest C-O bond in the π-conjugation system of an anionic organic molecule and its coordination to a Li ion, there is a weak inverse relationship between the C-O and Li-O bond lengths. In addition, despite exhibiting optical band edges below 2 eV and 1D π-stacking connectivity, conductivity measurements on single crystals of 1-6 confirmed that they are all electronic insulators. We rationalize this finding on the basis of π-orbital delocalization, which is more restricted in the aq-based LCPs compared to known semiconducting hybrid materials.

The formate-based rechargeable hydrogen battery (RHB) promises high reversible capacity to meet the need for safe, reliable, and sustainable H2 storage used in fuel cell applications. Described herein is an additive-free RHB which is based on repetitive cycles operated between aqueous formate dehydrogenation (discharging) and bicarbonate hydrogenation (charging). Key to this truly efficient and durable H2 handling system is the use of highly strained Pd nanoparticles anchored on graphite oxide nanosheets as a robust and efficient solid catalyst, which can facilitate both the discharging and charging processes in a reversible and highly facile manner. Up to six repeated discharging/charging cycles can be performed without noticeable degradation in the storage capacity.

Let the circle be unbroken! One ruthenium catalyst generated in situ facilitates the selective hydrogenation of bicarbonates and carbonates, as well as CO2 and base, to give formates and also the selective dehydrogenation of formates back to bicarbonates. The two reactions can be coupled, leading to a reversible hydrogen-storage system. dppm=1,2- bis(diphenylphosphino)methane. Copyright
Reactions in the rechargeable lithium-O2 battery with alkyl carbonate electrolytes
Freunberger, Stefan A.,Chen, Yuhui,Peng, Zhangquan,Griffin, John M.,Hardwick, Laurence J.,Barde, Fanny,Novak, Petr,Bruce, Peter G.
body text, p. 8040 - 8047 (2011/06/27)
The nonaqueous rechargeable lithium-O2 battery containing an alkyl carbonate electrolyte discharges by formation of C3H 6(OCO2Li)2, Li2CO3, HCO2Li, CH3CO2Li, CO2, and H 2O at the cathode, due to electrolyte decomposition. Charging involves oxidation of C3H6(OCO2Li)2, Li2CO3, HCO2Li, CH3CO2Li accompanied by CO2 and H2O evolution. Mechanisms are proposed for the reactions on discharge and charge. The different pathways for discharge and charge are consistent with the widely observed voltage gap in Li-O2 cells. Oxidation of C3H6(OCO 2Li)2 involves terminal carbonate groups leaving behind the OC3H6O moiety that reacts to form a thick gel on the Li anode. Li2CO3, HCO2Li, CH3CO 2Li, and C3H6(OCO2Li)2 accumulate in the cathode on cycling correlating with capacity fading and cell failure. The latter is compounded by continuous consumption of the electrolyte on each discharge.
