Porous AgPd-Pd Composite Nanotubes as Highly Efficient Electrocatalysts for Lithium-Oxygen Batteries.

Porous AgPd-Pd composite nanotubes (NTs) are used as an efficient bifunctional catalyst for the oxygen reduction and evolution reactions in lithium-oxygen batteries. The porous NT structure can facilitate rapid O2 and electrolyte diffusion through the NTs and provide abundant catalytic sites, forming a continuous conductive network throughout the entire energy conversion process, with excellent cycling performance.
