Batteries and Fuel Cells

A battery is a galvanic cell that is used as a source of electrical power for specific applications. Modern batteries exist in a multitude of forms to accommodate various applications, from tiny button batteries such as those that power wristwatches to the very large batteries used to supply backup energy to municipal power grids. Some batteries are designed for single-use applications and cannot be recharged (primary cells), while others are based on conveniently reversible cell reactions that...

Background:

Rechargeable lithium-oxygen batteries (LOBs) offer high theoretical energy density but suffer from sluggish cathode kinetics and lithium anode degradation, leading to poor performance.
Existing materials struggle to overcome challenges like voltage hysteresis and low coulombic efficiency in LOBs.

Purpose of the Study:

To provide an overview of metal-organic framework (MOF) applications in LOBs as catalysts and separators.
To highlight recent advances in MOF-based catalysts (traditional, conductive, semi-conductive, soluble, photo-involved) and separators for improved LOB performance.

Main Methods:

Review and synthesis of existing literature on MOF applications in LOBs.
Discussion of MOF structures, properties, and their impact on electrochemical performance.
Analysis of MOF-based separators for mitigating redox mediator shuttling and lithium dendrite formation.

Main Results:

MOFs demonstrate potential as effective catalysts in various forms (traditional, conductive, semi-conductive, soluble, photo-involved) for LOBs.
MOF-based separators show promise in suppressing unwanted side reactions and improving battery stability.
Photo-involved LOBs utilizing MOFs represent a novel approach for enhanced energy storage.

Conclusions:

MOFs are versatile materials for advancing rechargeable lithium-oxygen battery technology.
Further research into MOF-based catalysts and separators is crucial for realizing the full potential of LOBs.
MOF integration offers a pathway to overcome key limitations in current LOB systems.
