摘要

The metal triazole (MTA)-based MOFs were found to preferentially adsorb O-rich species, which had enhanced electrocatalytic oxygen reduction reactions (ORR) and stabilized the O-containing species during the discharge and charge processes in Li-O2 battery. However, the MOFs exhibited low electron conductivity and poor electron transfer interface in the electrocatalysis, limiting the electrocatalytic activity. To address this issue, a nanocomposite with the Co-MTA-coated carbon nanotubes (Co-MTA-C) was constructed, which formed the three-dimensional conductivity network connected with the intersecting carbon nanotube (CNT). In this composite, the electron-rich Co-MTA interacted with the highly conductive CNT, resulting in a charge redistribution. Optimized the electronic structure of the Co center through compositional modifications presented a high valence compared to the pure MOFs. In situ X-ray absorption spectroscopy revealed a direct reaction of Co sites with intermediates such as LiOx, leading to the formation of nanosheet array discharge products. The battery based on optimized Co-MTA-C demonstrated fast kinetics and superior stability, with a low overpotential of 1.13 V, high specific capacity of 9057 mAh g−1, and long-term durability of 600 cycles. It provides a facile and effective strategy for enhancing the electrocatalytic performance through rational tuning of high-conductivity substances.
