High energy storage devices (e.g. Li-O2 batteries and hydrogen fuel cell) have much larger theoretical specific energy over the commercial Li-ion batteries. However, majority of the energy losses incurred in these high energy storage devices are induced by the overpotential in electrocatalysis due t...
