Year 2018, Volume: 6 Issue: 1, 49 - 55, 31.01.2018

Abstract

In this study, of α-MnO2/Graphene/CNT nanocomposites were
produced and characterized as electrode for Li-O2 batteries. Graphene
was produced with Hummer method and carbon nano tubes were added to graphene as
spacers between layers.
α-MnO2nanorods were synthesized and α-MnO2/Graphene/CNT
nanocomposites were fabricated by vacuum filtration technique as a paper
electrode.
α-MnO2nanorods were added to composite at three different rates and electrodes
were characterized by FESEM and XRD. The electrochemical characterization was
carried out in ECC-air test cells.
