The large overpotential for conventional Li-O₂ batteries is an enormous challenge, which impedes their practical application. Here, we prepare a defective TiO₂ (Ov-TiO₂) hollow nanosphere as photo-electrocatalyst for photo-assisted Li-O₂ batteries to reduce the overpotential. Under illumination, the oxygen vacancies as a charge separation center contribute to the separation of electrons and holes. The generated electrons could promote reducing O₂ to Li₂O₂ during oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) process, while the generated holes are beneficial to Li₂O₂ decomposition during oxygen evolution reaction (OER) process. Additionally, the proper concentration of oxygen vacancies will decrease the recombination rate between electrons and holes. The photo-assisted Li-O₂ batteries with Ov-TiO₂-650 exhibit advanced performances, such as the low overpotential (0.70 V), the fine rate capability, and the considerable reversibility accompanied with the formation/decomposition of Li₂O₂. We expect that these results could open a new mind to design of highly efficient photo-electrocatalysts for photo-assisted Li-O₂ battery.
