Abstract

The invention discloses an air electrode of a lithium-air battery and a preparation method of the air electrode of the lithium-air battery. The air electrode comprises a porous tantalum nitrogen (TaN) nanotube and catalytic activity components which are loaded on the TaN nanotube. The catalytic activity components are deposited or loaded on the porous TaN nanotube to form the air electrode through methods of electro-deposition, chemical deposition or high-temperature nitriding. The air electrode of the lithium-air battery and the preparation method of the air electrode of the lithium-air battery reduce content of precious metal in the air electrode and greatly lower cost of the lithium-air battery. In addition, the air electrode is simple in structure, easy to assemble and convenient to use.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of lithium-air batteries, and in particular relates to an air electrode of a lithium-air battery and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] LiCoO 2 And carbon materials have been successfully commercialized as positive and negative electrode materials for lithium ions, but the positive electrode materials in lithium batteries limit the energy storage capacity of lithium batteries. For example, the electrochemical capacity of metal lithium is 3860mAh / g, but the electric capacity of most positive electrode materials The chemical capacity is only 200mAh / g. Therefore, looking for higher specific energy and cheaper cathode materials has always been the development direction of lithium batteries. [0003] As a brand-new metal-air battery, the lithium-air battery has good electrochemical performance. Since the oxygen (air) as the positive electrode does not need to be stored in the battery, t...
