The bi-functional activities of electrocatalysts for the ORR and discharge products decomposition in rechargeable Li-O2 batteries can be effectively evaluated using cyclic voltammetry with varying the lower potential limit. Utilizing Ru-Sn oxides decorated graphene nanowalls as examples, it was found that both Ru-enriched and Sn-enriched Ru-Sn oxides exhibit higher bi-functional activities than mono-oxides and pure graphene. The full cell performance in terms of rate capability, cycle life, and charge-discharge voltage gaps can be correlated to these findings.
The bi-functional activities of electrocatalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and discharge products decomposition in the typical organic electrolyte of rechargeable Li-O2 batteries are proposed to be effectively evaluated by cyclic voltammetry (CV) with varying the lower potential limit. The free-standing Ru-Sn oxidesdecorated graphene nanowalls are employed as examples to demonstrate this interesting methodology. Both Ru-enriched and Sn-enriched Ru-Sn oxides (RTO73 and RTO37) show higher bi-functional activities than two mono-oxides and pure graphene from CV and confirmed by the charge?discharge results. The full cell performances such as rate capability, cycle life and charge?discharge voltage gaps can be correlated to the findings
