摘要
Na0.44MnO2 nanowires were acid leached in nitric acid, and dehydrated by heat treatment to induce controllable defect formation as monitored by high resolution TEM studies. The charge-discharge tests using these materials as catalysts (or "promoters'') in rechargeable lithium-oxygen batteries (in non-carbonate electrolytes) showed that a high defect concentration results in a doubling of the reversible energy storage capacity up to 11 000 mA h g(-1), and lowered overpotentials for oxygen evolution. The role of the defects/vacancies in determining oxygen reduction behavior is highlighted.
