Abstract
AbstractLi‐CO2 battery with high energy density has aroused great interest recently, large‐scale applications are hindered by the limited cathode catalysis performance and execrably cycle performance. Herein, Mo3P/Mo Mott‐Schottky heterojunction nanorod electrocatalyst with abundant porous structure is fabricated and served as cathodes for Li‐CO2 batteries. The Mo3P/Mo cathodes exhibit ultra‐high discharge specific capacity of 10 577 mAh g−1, low polarization voltage of 0.15 V, and high energy efficiency of up to 94.7%. Mott‐Schottky heterojunction formed by Mo and Mo3P drives electron transfer and optimizes the surface electronic structure, which is beneficial to accelerate the interface reaction kinetics. Distinctively, during the discharge process, the C2O42− intermediates combine with Mo atoms to form a stable Mo‐O coupling bridge on the catalyst surface, which effectively facilitate the formation and stabilization of Li2C2O4 products. In addition, the construction of the Mo‐O coupling bridge between the Mott‐Schottky heterojunction and Li2C2O4 promotes the reversible formation and decomposition of discharge products and optimizes the polarization performance of the Li‐CO2 battery. This work provides another pathway for the development of heterostructure engineering electrocatalysts for high‐performance Li‐CO2 batteries.
