Present research deals with multiphysics, pore-scale simulation of Li–O2 battery using multirelaxation time lattice Boltzmann method. A novel technique is utilized to generate an idealized electrode–electrolyte porous media from the known macroscopic variables. Present investigation focuses on the performance degradation of Li–O2 cell due to the blockage of the reaction sites via Li2O2 formation. Present simulations indicate that Li–air and Li–O2 batteries primarily suffer from mass transfer limitations. The study also emphasizes the importance of pore-scale simulations and shows that the morphology of the porous media has a significant impact on the cell performance. While lower porosity provides higher initial current, higher porosity maintains sustainable output.

Lithium-oxygen (Li-O2) batteries have attracted much attention owing to the high theoretical energy density afforded by the two-electron reduction of O2 to lithium peroxide (Li2O2). We report an inorganic-electrolyte Li-O2 cell that cycles at an elevated temperature via highly reversible four-electron redox to form crystalline lithium oxide (Li2O). It relies on a bifunctional metal oxide host that catalyzes O–O bond cleavage on discharge, yielding a high capacity of 11 milliampere-hours per square centimeter, and O2 evolution on charge with very low overpotential. Online mass spectrometry and chemical quantification confirm that oxidation of Li2O involves transfer of exactly 4 e–/O2. This work shows that Li-O2 electrochemistry is not intrinsically limited once problems of electrolyte, superoxide, and cathode host are overcome and that coulombic efficiency close to 100% can be achieved.
