[Abstract]

Conventional plasmonics have been recognized as a promising platform that may premise unique values in the context of light-matter interactions. [1-2] Researchers have extended the potential of plasmonics to unconventional domains, among which plasmon-enhanced electrocatalysis has shown promising evidence. [3] Here we investigate the promise of plasmonic materials with unique light-interacting properties (localized surface plasmon resonance) for emerging application in energy storage devices with Li-O2 battery as model platform. Au nanoparticles (NPs) at increasing contents/sizes are incorporated on conventional Ketjen Black (KB) cathodes, with preliminary half-cell measurements underlining the promise of LSPR-generated hot-carriers on the O2 electrochemistry. The illuminated battery with facile Li2O2 formation/decomposition, small Li2O2 particles, and suppressed side-products unlocks a round-trip efficiency boost. This enhancement is even more striking with continuous cycling, with a 680 mV-overpotential suppression against KB after 30 cycles. Comparatively, dark conditions reveal negligible Au-driven catalytic effects, whereas LSPR-induced local heat effects are ruled out upon meticulous assessment of the product selectivity in cells at increasing temperatures. [4] This contribution is the seminal approach to disentangle catalytic effects and plasmon relaxation pathways over practical carbon-based cathodes for high-energy storage.
