Manganese dioxide (MnO2) nanoflakes were uniformly coated on multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) by immersing MWNTs into an aqueous KMnO4 solution. Directly using the MnO2/MWNT composites (containing 40 wt.% MWNTs) as lithium-air battery electrodes enhances kinetics of the oxygen reduction and evolution reactions, thereby effectively improving energy efficiency and reversible capacity.
