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.
