Abstract

A binder-free lithium peroxide–carbon nanofiber composite cathode was synthesized chemically to be used in a closed system lithium–oxygen battery without external supply of oxygen. This cathode enhances the closed system performance and exhibits good rechargeability with cyclability up to 50 cycles. This composite cathode provides scope for full cell development.
