Singlet oxygen <i>vs.</i> triplet oxygen: functions of 2D-MoO<sub>3</sub> catalysts in conquering catastrophic parasitic-reactions in lithium– and sodium–oxygen batteries
Jiahui Li, Jie Wu, Yang‐Xin Yu
Abstract
A 2D-MoO<sub>3</sub> nanosheet was predicted both thermodynamically and kinetically to have functionalities to prevent singlet oxygen formation and thus increase the specific energy and cycling performance of Li– and Na–O<sub>2</sub> cells.
