By tuning the surface oxygen vacancies of CoMoO4 nanowires, highly efficient electrocatalysts were designed to improve the performance of Li-air batteries, enhancing oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) activities.
Mixed multiple oxidation states CoMoO4 nanowires (electrocatalysts) with tunable intrinsic oxygen vacancies were fabricated. CoMoO4 with proper oxygen vacancy can be employed to construct a Li-air battery with a high capacity and stable cyclability. This is possible because CoMoO4 contains surface oxygen vacancies, which result in the unit of Co=Mo bond, that is important for electrocatalysts used in Li-air batteries. Both the experimental and theoretical results demonstrate that the surface oxygen vacancies containing CoMoO4 nanowires have a higher electrocatalytic activity. This shows that the highly efficient electrocatalysts used for Li-air batteries were designed to modify the redox properties of the mixed metal oxide in the catalytic active sites. This successful material design led to an improved strategy for high oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) activities based on the fast formation and extinction of ORR products.
