Carbon-free cobalt oxide cathodes with tunable nanoarchitectures for rechargeable lithium–oxygen batteries†
Abstract
Carbon-free cobalt oxide cathodes for lithium–oxygen batteries are fabricated via an electrodeposition–conversion process. The Co3O4-only cathodes show a remarkably reduced voltage gap (by ca. 550 mV compared to the carbon-only cathode) as well as excellent long-term cyclability.
