Abstract
The present invention proposes a kind of air cathode.The air cathode includes:Catalyst layer, the catalyst layer contains nitrogen-doped graphene;And diffusion layer.Thus, the catalyst layer with good catalytic can be provided for the air cathode by nitrogen-doped graphene, and the air cathode preparation process is easy, catalyst layer need not add binding agent and carry out rubbing molded, and then can improve the electrode performance of the air cathode.
Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to environment, material, energy field, in particular it relates to air cathode, prepare air cathode
