Abstract
Ether-based organic liquid electrolytes (OLEs) have been commonly used in lithium–oxygen batteries (LOBs); however, they become unstable and cause rapid performance degradation during LOB operation. To address these problems, in this study we propose an OLE-free cathode architecture based on a Li+-selective solid membrane (LSSM). An LSSM with a seamless duplex (dense/porous) architecture is prepared by a tape casting process combined with co-sintering, and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) decorated with Au nanoparticles (CNT@Au) are directly formed on its porous framework. We show that the duplex-LSSM can effectively protect the metallic Li anode from parasitic reactions with impurity species and improve the cycling stability of Li. Furthermore, an LOB assembled with the duplex-LSSM and CNT@Au components exhibits a discharge capacity as high as 3650 mAh g−1 and improved cycling stability (>140 cycles) compared to a conventional OLE-based LOB; this can be explained in terms of the combined advantages provided by the OLE-free cathode and the LSSM-protected Li anode. © 2021 Elsevier B.V.
