The effects of homogenized triple-phase boundaries (TPBs) on reaction kinetics in air cathodes with structurally designed pore networks are explored. The diffusion fluxes of reactants are visualized by modeling, revealing evenly distributed reaction areas within the periodic open structure. Homogeneous TPBs in cathode structural engineering provide a new strategy for improving reaction kinetics in Li-O2 batteries.
The reaction kinetics at a triple-phase boundary (TPB) involving Li+, e(-), and O-2 dominate their electrochemical performances in Li-O-2 batteries. Early studies on catalytic activities at Li+/e(-)/O-2 interfaces have enabled great progress in energy efficiency; however, localized TPBs within the cathode hamper innovations in battery performance toward commercialization. Here, the effects of homogenized TPBs on the reaction kinetics in air cathodes with structurally designed pore networks in terms of pore size, interconnectivity, and orderliness are explored. The diffusion fluxes of reactants are visualized by modeling, and the simulated map reveals evenly distributed reaction areas within the periodic open structure. The 3D air cathode provides highly active, homogeneous TPBs over a real electrode scale, thus simultaneously achieving large discharge capacity, unprecedented energy efficiency, and long cyclability via mechanical/electrochemical stress relaxation. Homogeneous TPBs by cathode structural engineering provide a new strategy for improving the reaction kinetics beyond controlling the intrinsic properties of the materials.
