摘要
A novel composite of monoclinic manganite/multi-walled carbon nanotubes(c-MnOOH/MWCNTs)composite as a cathode material of lithium-air batteries was successfully synthesized by a simple one-step hydrothermal method.Owing to the unique three-dimensional network of c-MnOOH embedded in the porous structure of MWCNTs,the c-MnOOH/MWCNTs composite could have an advantage of high electrocatalytic activities over those of two other kinds of cathode materials(MWCNTs and c-MnOOH/MWCNTs mixture).The results of chargedischarge tests showed that the c-MnOOH/MWCNTs composite as a cathode material of lithium-air batteries could effectively enhance the catalytic activity for the oxygen evolution reduction(OER)process.The lithium-air battery based on c-MnOOH/MWCNTs composite exhibits low charge potential and high discharge capacity.
A novel composite of monoclinic manganite/ multi-walled carbon nanotubes （γ-MnOOH/MWCNTs） composite as a cathode material of lithium-air batteries was successfully synthesized by a simple one-step hydrothermal method. Owing to the unique three-dimensional network of γ-MnOOH embedded in the porous structure of MWCNTs, the γ-MnOOH/MWCNTs composite could have an advantage of high electrocatalytic activities over those of two other kinds of cathode materials （MWCNTs and y-MnOOH/MWCNTs mixture）. The results of charge- discharge tests showed that the γ-MnOOH/MWCNTs composite as a cathode material of lithium-air batteries could effectively enhance the catalytic activity for the oxygen evolution reduction （OER） process. The lithium-air battery based on y-MnOOH/MWCNTs composite exhibits low charge potential and high discharge capacity.
