Synthesis of a meso–macro hierarchical porous carbon material for improvement of O2 diffusivity in Li–O2 batteries†
Abstract
Meso–macro hierarchical porous carbon (HPC) is prepared and used as a cathode material in Li–O2 batteries. The O2 diffusivity has been largely improved due to the unblocked macropores. As a result, a better pore utilization and extremely high discharge capacity is achieved.
