Abstract

A novel preparation path for the synthesis of MnO2-based wire-shaped catalyst material for lithium-air electrodes is presented. The electrode was prepared with direct laser-transfer, which is solvent free and considered environmental benign. High specific charge, 869 and 2978 A h kg−1, was achieved for the total mass of one electrode and carbon content, respectively. The electrode faded about 11% of the initial specific charge after 60 cycles.
