AB  - In this work, g-C3N4 / 3 % rGO nanocomposite was synthesized as a photo-catalyst in order to usein the Li-ion oxygen battery. The aim was to reduce the high charging potential of the battery by the photoassistance. The synthesis of nanocomposite was carried out by thermal decomposition of melamine which wasinitially mixed with the required amount reduced graphene oxide (rGO). The rGO had dual competing actions inthe nanocomposite. The first action was to reduce the optical band gap of the semiconductor nanocomposite thatthe photo-catalyst properties of the nanocomposite were improved. Secondly, rGO degradated the visible lightutilization of the nanocomposite since it favorably absorbed incident light instead of g-C3N4. The photo-assistedcharging tests indicated that the synthesized nanocomposite reduced the charging potential and improved thecyclic discharge-charge performance of the Li-ion oxygen battery.
