Platinum-Gold Nanoparticles: A Highly Active Bifunctional Electrocatalyst for Rechargeable Lithium-Air Batteries

PtAu nanoparticles (NPs) were shown to strongly enhance the kinetics of the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in rechargeable Li−O2 cells. Li−O2 cells with PtAu/C were found to exhibit the highest round-trip efficiency reported to date. During ORR via xLi+ + O2 + xe...
