Abstract

Graphene nanosheets (GNS) were employed as an air electrode for a sodium–air battery (SAB). High discharge capacity of 9268 mA h g−1 with low overpotential was achieved, indicating its superiority to a normal carbon film electrode. Our results indicate that GNS as air electrodes could improve the electrochemical performance of rechargeable SABs.
