An in situ formed Pd nanolayer as a bifunctional catalyst for Li-air batteries in ambient or simulated air

We demonstrate for the first time that a Pd nanolayer, which is in situ formed on the Ni foam via the galvanic exchange method, greatly improves the energy output, the round-trip efficiency and the cyclability of the aprotic Li-air battery in ambient or simulated air.
