A Ketjen black/Co3O4 catalyst nanocomposite was fabricated for use in an enhanced air electrode for Li/air batteries. Polydopamine was used as a coating on Ketjen black to act as a reaction agent, for ensuring homogeneous reaction and adequate distribution of the catalyst nanoparticles on the surface. The results of various characterization analyses indicated successful immobilization of Co3O4 via the polydopamine layer. An electrode prepared using the polydopamine-assisted Ketjen black/Co3O4 nanocomposite exhibited a low overpotential and excellent capacity and cyclic performance, demonstrating the suitability of this novel nanocomposite for use in the air electrode of a Li/air cell.
