Summary: This study investigates the effect of aluminum doping on highly Ni-rich layered Li[Ni0.90Co0.05Mn0.05]O-2 cathodes. The results show that aluminum is effective in enhancing the electrochemical performance of the cathode at concentrations higher than 1%, but becomes detrimental at 3% or greater concentrations. The cathode with 2% aluminum doping delivers the most optimal electrochemical performance.

Summary: The yolk-shell-structured NiCo2S4 spheres were synthesized as cathode catalysts for Li-O2 batteries, and the optimal sulfidation time was found to be 18 hours. The battery with YS-NCS-18 as the catalyst exhibited the highest specific capacity, best rate capability, and most stable cycling performance, due to the largest gap between the yolk and shell and the highest catalytic activity of the (531) surface.

Summary: This article discusses the catalytic properties of low-cost 2D atomic thin SnS2 catalysts for Li-O2 batteries through systematic experiments and theoretical calculations. The generation of Sn4+/Sn2+ redox couple in the SnS2 catalyst is found to act as active catalytic sites for promoting the formation/decomposition of intermediate LiO2 and discharge product Li2O2. Moreover, it is calculated that the (001) plane of SnS2 cathode can reduce the adsorption energy barrier and catalytic reaction energy gaps in Li-O2 batteries.

Summary: An integral Fe3C decorated wood-derived Fe, N co-doped carbon (N-wdC-MS) was developed as a cathode for Li-O2 battery. The cathode inherited the aligned wood channels, ensuring smooth O2/electrolyte supply. The Fe3C@NC aggregates acted as catalytic sites, resulting in excellent ORR/OER catalytic activity. The Li-O2 battery assembled with N-wdC-MS showed high specific capacity and long cycle-life.
