A hierarchical three-dimensional NiCo2O4nanowire array/carbon cloth as an air electrode for nonaqueous Li–air batteries

Abstract

A 3D NiCo2O4 nanowire array/carbon cloth (NCONW/CC) was employed as the cathode for Li–air batteries with a non-aqueous electrolyte. After its discharge, novel porous ball-like Li2O2 was found to be deposited on the tip of NiCo2O4 nanowires. The special structure of Li2O2 and active sites of catalysts are also discussed.
