Abstract

HighlightsA carbon free self supported Mott-Schottky heterostructure was constructed as an efficient cathode catalyst for lithium oxygen batteries, achieving homogeneous contact between the two materials for strong interfacial interactions.The heterostructure triggered interfacial perturbations and band structure changes, which accelerated oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) kinetics, resulting in an extremely long cycle life of 800 cycles and an extremely low overpotential of 0.73 V.Combined with advanced characterization techniques and density functional theory calculations, the underlying mechanism behind the boosted ORR/OER activities and the electrocatalytic mechanism were revealed.
