AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Lithium-air batteries face issues with high charging overvoltage due to the decomposition of lithium peroxide, leading to electrolyte and electrode deterioration, and existing methods to suppress this, such as using a redox mediator in the electrolyte, are ineffective due to the shuttle effect.

Method used

A porous carbon sheet coated with a specific amount of oxidation-reduction mediator is used as the positive electrode, where the mediator is fixed to the surface and inside voids, mediating the oxidative decomposition of lithium peroxide through its own redox reaction, thereby suppressing charging overvoltage.

Benefits of technology

The solution effectively suppresses charging overvoltage while maintaining a large cycle capacity, improving the battery's capacity retention and discharge characteristics.
