Abstract

To develop high energy Li-O 2 batteries (LOBs), it is important to optimize the air cathode structure. Therefore, MFe 2 O 4 @carbon cloth (M = Co, Fe)has been prepared by electrodeposition to be an effective cathode for LOBs. This cathode can effectively avoid the disturbance of a polymer binder during the discharge-charge process. Electrocatalytic and electrochemical measurements show that MFe 2 O 4 @carbon cloth can enhance the ORR/OER kinetics. In particular, CoFe 2 O 4 @carbon cloth exhibits a good initial discharge specific capacity (7259 mA h/g at 170 mA/g)and long cycle life (over 100 cycles at the upper limit specific capacity of 500 mA h/g at 170 mA/g). The favorable electrocatalytic properties of CoFe 2 O 4 @CC are ascribed to the presence of Co 2+ .
