摘要
Ruthenium-based nanomaterials supported on reduced graphene oxide (rGO) have been investigated as air cathodes in non-aqueous electrolyte Li-air cells using a TEGDME-LiCF3SO3 electrolyte. Homogeneously distributed metallic ruthenium and hydrated ruthenium oxide (RuO2 center dot 0.64H(2)O), deposited exclusively on rGO, have been synthesized with average size below 2.5 nm. The synthesized hybrid materials of Ru-based nanoparticles supported on rGO efficiently functioned as electrocatalysts for Li2O2 oxidation reactions, maintaining cycling stability for 30 cycles without sign of TEGDME-LiCF3SO3 electrolyte decomposition. Specifically, RuO2 center dot 0.64H(2)O-rGO hybrids were superior to Ru-rGO hybrids in catalyzing the OER reaction, significantly reducing the average charge potential to similar to 3.7 Vat the high current density of 500 mA g(-1) and high specific capacity of 5000 mAh g(-1).
