A carbon nanotube [CNT]/Co3O4 composite is introduced as a catalyst for the air electrode of lithium-air [Li/air] batteries. Co3O4 nanoparticles are successfully attached to the sidewall of the CNT by a hydrothermal method. A high discharge capacity and a low overvoltage indicate that the CNT/Co3O4 composite is a very promising catalyst for the air electrode of Li/air batteries.

The electrochemical performance and electrode reaction using AuePd nanoparticle (NP) supported mesoporous b-MnO2 as a cathode catalyst for rechargeable Lithium-Air (Li-Air) battery is reported here for the first time. In this study, AuePd NP-supported mesoporous b-MnO2 was successfully synthesized by hydrothermal process using a silica KIT-6 template. It has an initial discharge capacity of ca....

UNLABELLED We propose PEDOT PSS as a multi-functional composite material for an enhanced Li-air-battery air electrode. The PEDOT PSS layer was coated on the surface of carbon (graphene) using simple method. A electrode containing PEDOT PSS-coated graphene (PEDOT electrode) could be prepared without binder (such as PVDF) because of high adhesion of PEDOT PSS. PEDOT electrode presented co...

Abstract Industrial 4.0 accelerates the need to introduce clean energy accommodate increase in electricity demand globally without causing environmental issues. Metal-air battery is a new type of storage system which metal anode consumed generate through electrochemical reaction. Among various types anode, aluminum promising carrier. Aluminum-air shows advantages such as high capacity, abundanc...

Three types of Co3O4 nanoparticles are synthesized and characterized as a catalyst for the air electrode of a Li/air battery. The shape and size of the nanoparticles are observed using scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy analyses. The formation of the Co3O4 phase is confirmed by X-ray diffraction. The electrochemical property of the air electrodes containing Co3O4 ...
