10 Supplementary Discussion Cyclic voltammetry(cv) study for the I - 3 /I - redox couple The redox potential of I - 3 /I - couple is at about 3.55V (vs Li + /Li, same reference below). 1-2 The oxidation peak occurred ~ 4.15 V and the drastic increasing of current when scanned beyond 4.2 V are attributed to the decomposition of DMSO solvent. 3-6 Detailed analyses and discussion of the Li-O 2 battery performance with I - 3 /I - redox shuttle The batteries with LiI can be charged with a voltage around 3.6 V even at a current flow as high as 0.47 macm -2. As the current density increased, the capacity decreased. This is attributed to the limited charge transportation and the resistance associated with solid-state Li + diffusion in the bulk insulating Li 2 O 2 particles. 7 During cycling, lithium carbonate (Li 2 CO 3 ) was detected by FT-IR as the main discharging byproduct according to the infrared spectroscopy. Its formation is attributed to the side-reactions that occurred on the carbon paper oxygen electrode/ DMSO solvent interface. 6,8-10 By optimizing the oxygen electrode and anode materials as discussed in previous literature 4,8,10-13, these side-reactions can be eliminated and the battery performance can be further improved. Both the Raman and XRD results showed that the Li 2 O 2 phase is formed after the discharging process and disappears after the charging process. The SEM images show that after the discharging process, particles with a toroid morphology and a size of nm, have been deposited on the oxygen electrode. Such morphology is in consistent with the Li 2 O 2 that reported in
11 literature. 14 The XPS analysis of the carbon oxygen electrode after battery discharging process C 1s XPS: The surface of standard Li 2 O 2 contained a small amount of carboxylate group since Li 2 O 2 is reactive even with adventitious carbon. After discharging, the main carbon peak was from adventitious carbon and there was very little amount of carboxylate group on the surface, probably due to contaminations that introduced during the sample transferring process. O 1s XPS: The O 1s peak of Li 2 O 2 pellet was at ~531.0eV, in consistent with previous literature 15. After the discharging process, the main product was Li 2 O 2 with a very small amount of Li 2 CO 3 as byproduct. Li 1s XPS: The Li 1s peak at ~54.5 ev indicated the discharge product as Li 2 O There was a little I on the surface of the oxygen electrode after discharging due to the residual LiI from the electrolyte. 16 Molar ratio of lithium to oxygen: The ratio of lithium to oxygen (O 1s peak at ~531.0 ev for Li 2 O 2 ) can be calculated by the area and the relative sensitivity factor (RSF) of each element: Lithium Oxygen Area Relative Sensitivity factor The ratio of Li : O = (Area of Li 1s / RSF Li 1s ): (Area of O 1s / RSF O 1s ) = :1, matching well with the 1:1 ratio in Li 2 O 2.
12 The XPS analysis of the Li anode of the solar-battery C 1s XPS: For the fresh-cut Li metal, the C 1s XPS spectrum showed that most of the carbon was from C-C bond, caused by the adventitious carbon. Besides trace amount of carbon from ethers /alkoxides (286.6 ev) and esters /carboxylates (288.9 ev), a small amount of C-OH and carbonate was also observed, due to the fast surface passivation of Li by residual CO 2 and H 2 O in the glovebox. For the anode before battery cycling, the pretreatment introduced Li 2 CO 3 on the metal surface, as a passivation layer which stabilized the Li foil. 4 After the battery cycling, the amount of Li 2 CO 3 increased. O 1s XPS: For the fresh-cut Li metal, the O 1s signal was still detectable since it is hard to totally avoid the surface oxidation through the sample transferring process. It matched well with the reported result for commercial Li metal without surface etching. 17 For both the Li anode before and after battery cycling, the O 1s spectra confirmed the existence of Li 2 CO 3 on the Li metal surface. Li 1s XPS: For fresh-cut Li metal, the surface oxidation caused the Li-O peak at 54.5 ev. 15,18 For the Li anode before battery cycling, the I 4d peak was also observed, due to the residual LiI (from the electrolyte) that left on the Li anode. 16 After battery cycling, the formation of Li 2 CO 3 was observed here, agreeing with the C 1s and O 1s spectra. I 3d XPS: For the Li anode before battery cycling, the I 3d signal was caused by the LiI residue from the electrolyte. 19 After battery cycling, there was no detectible I 3d
13 signal on the Li anode. S 2p XPS: The S 2p spectra changed after the battery cycling, indicating the Li had reacted with DMSO to certain extent during the cycling To summarize, the 0.1M LiClO 4 / PC pre-treatment for Li foil has introduced a passivation layer which mainly consists of Li 2 CO 3. It helps to stabilize the anode from reacting with DMSO. However, the anode is not 100% stable in DMSO electrolyte. Reactions between the Li anode and DMSO still occur after long-time cycling. The XPS analysis of the oxygen electrode of the solar-battery C 1s XPS: The carbon paper oxygen electrode before cycling showed very similar spectrum as the pristine P50 carbon paper. After battery cycling, several different carbon peaks appeared. They can be assigned to the C-S bond 22, ethers/alkoxides 20 and carbonates 19, respectively. O 1s XPS: The O 1s peak for pristine P50 was very weak since it didn t contain oxygen. There were some signals C-O or O-C-O for the carbon paper oxygen electrode before cycling. After battery cycling, the peaks of C-O bond and Li 2 CO 3 were observed. Li 1s and I 4d XPS: The Li 1s spectra confirmed the formation of Li 2 CO 3 on the carbon oxygen electrode after cycling. The I 4d peak was also observed, due to the residual LiI on the oxygen electrode. 16 I 3d XPS: The I 3d spectra confirmed the residual I - (from LiI) on the oxygen electrode after battery cycling.
14 S 2p XPS: The result showed that certain reactions have happened between the carbon oxygen electrode and the DMSO solvent during the battery cycling, causing the formation of SO 2-4. The observation of S 2p peak of C-SO 2 -C also agreed well with the C-S bond from C 1s XPS spectra. To summarize, the P50 carbon paper oxygen electrode is chemically stable in the DMSO electrolyte. However, the battery cycling would introduce reactions between the oxygen electrode and electrolyte, forming Li 2 CO 3 as the main by-product as well 2- as some SO 4 species. The XPS analysis of the photoelectrode of the solar-battery O 1s XPS: The shift of O 1s after battery cycling was attributed to the OH group that formed on the TiO 2 surface 23, which is probably related to the decomposition product of N719 dye molecules. Ti 2p XPS: After cycling, the Ti 2p peak shifted to a lower energy, which might be caused by the change in the surface dipole or the shift of Fermi level of electrons in TiO C 1s and Ru 3d XPS: After sensitized by N719, the C 1s peak shifted to higher energy (from ev to ev) due to the overlap with Ru 3d 3/2 peak The peak from Ru 3d was observed after the dye sensitization. However, after battery cycling, no Ru peak was observed, indicating that dye molecules were decomposed and detached to the TiO 2 surface. To summarize, the XPS spectra of the photoelectrode have revealed that the
15 decomposition of the N719 sensitizer happens during the battery cycling and is the main cause for the fade of our device. The solar-battery based on hematite photoelectrode Compared to the dye-sensitized TiO 2, the hematite has a better stability as an inorganic compound. The conduction band edge of hematite is about +3.4 V (vs Li + /Li). The material has an optical band gas as about 2.1 ev. 27 Therefore, it is suitable to be used as a light-absorber to construct a single semiconductor-liquid junction photovoltaic cell. When it is applied in our solar-battery as a photoelectrode, we expect a charging voltage reduction of about 100 mv. The hematite nanorods were hydrothermally grown on a 80-mesh Ti gauze. 28 The solar-battery was assembled with the hematite decorated Ti gauze as photoelectrode and all other parameters kept unchanged. The charging voltage fluctuation was observed when illumination removed. This clearly proves that hematite also acts as a photoelectrode in the solar-battery. The comparison of charging voltage with and without illumination clearly shows that the hematite photoelectrode was generating a photovoltage about 50 mv. This result agreed with the conduction band edge value of hematite (i.e. ~3.4 V vs Li + /Li). Since the inorganic hematite does not have the decomposition issue, the solar-battery can be cycled for a long time and presented a much better stability compared to the ones with dye-sensitized TiO 2 photoelectrode.
