Ab Initio Molecular Dynamics Simulation of Co-N-C Single-Atom Catalysts at the Electrolyte Interface for Oxygen Reduction Reaction

Nonaqueous lithium-oxygen batteries (LOBs) have significant application potential due to their extremely high theoretical energy density, but the role of the electrolyte in regulating the reaction kinetics during the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) remains unclear. Here, we systematically investigate the ORR pathways at the electrolyte interface with Co-N-C single-atom catalysts (SACs) using ab initio molecular … Read more

Latest Review by Wuhan University Team in Chem Soc Rev: Recent Research and Prospects of Non-flammable Electrolytes for Sodium-ion Batteries

Recently, the Wuhan University team summarized the development of non-flammable electrolytes for sodium-ion batteries, covering both liquid (e.g., adding 5wt% PFPN to organic electrolytes to suppress flammability) and solid (e.g., NASICON with a room temperature conductivity of 6.0 mS/cm) systems. The team elucidated the flame-retardant mechanisms and proposed five optimization directions, with some systems (e.g., … Read more
