Applying intermittent current (>1 mA/cm 2) enhances O 2 diffusion in the electrode. The battery capacity is increased by more than 50% with intermittent discharge. Hydrophilic electrodes benefit the most from the intermittent discharge strategy. Discharging with descending currents maximizes capacity with a given cutoff voltage.
The intermittent discharge current can enhance the O 2 diffusion and increase the discharge capacity due to sufficient O 2 supply. Battery stacks for transportation or stationary applications will likely be composed of thousands of single cells.
In this study, intermittent discharge strategies were proposed and investigated for Li-O 2 batteries with electrodes of different wettability at various current densities (0.1–2.0 mA/cm 2 ), and compared with batteries discharged at continuous current densities.
The specific discharge capacities of Li-O 2 batteries discharged by intermittent current are ∼50% higher than these obtained by continuous current. For example, the specific discharge capacity is 1629.5 ± 124.0 mAh/g at intermittent discharge current of 1.0 mA/cm 2 while it is 1031.0 ± 22.8 mAh/g at continuous discharge current of 1.0 mA/cm 2.
The intermittent discharge strategy Since electrode is compressed when assembling the battery, the porous structure inside the electrode may be changed and thus the O 2 diffusion is affected. The estimated time schedule of discharging for 5 min and resting for 10 min may not be the best strategy.
The intermittent current strategy discharges the battery at the given current for certain time and rests the battery for 10 min periodically. The time for discharge is proportional to the given current. For example, the battery is discharged for 10 min at 0.5 mA/cm 2 and for 5 min at 1.0 mA/cm 2.
