摘要

The research on Li–CO2 batteries with substantial energy density is notable for its potential contribution to the carbon neutrality. A pivotal aspect of the study is the advancement of cost-effective and efficient cathode catalysts to improve Li–CO2 battery performance. Herein, a unique hierarchical medium-entropy nitride (CoNiMnN@C) composite is prepared through the utilization of mixed metal solution construction of metal organic frameworks, aiming at developing cathode catalysts with superior dispersion ability of lithium carbonate and conductivity. As a result, the CoNiMnN@C based Li–CO2 battery presents an exceptional discharge capacity of 23555 mA h g−1 due to the distinctive medium-entropy effect of CoNiMnN and the hierarchical structure that exposes numerous catalytic active sites. The battery also exhibits impressive durability across multiple cycles lasts 500 h and maintains a low overpotential of 1.48 V at a discharge/charge rate of 100 mA g−1. This work extends the application of medium-entropy materials in Li–CO2 batteries and provides unique ways to its design.
