CARBON COMPOSITE MATERIALS FOR AIR ELECTRODES OF LITHIUM-AIR BATTERIES
Lithium-air batteries with ambient oxygen as a positive reactant are attracting more and more interests for energy storage due to their high energy density. In discharge mode, the positive reaction takes place at the solid-liquid (carbon-electrolyte) reaction boundary producing insoluble Li2O2 solid by combining oxygen and Li+. Generally, a larger two phase boundary can be obtained through increasing the wettability of the carbon to electrolyte, while this may prevent the diffusion of the oxygen in the electrode. In this study, two kinds of carbon materials, KB 600 and Super P, are mixed and used for the preparation of electrodes. With lower wettability in the LiPF6/PC+EC, Super P is used for the formation of oxygen transportation passages as well as the reaction zone in the electrode. With the mixed carbon as electrode materials, a discharge capacity of 1200 mAh/g is achieved, which is higher than that with KB600.
