This works examines a cathode architecture design for lithium-oxygen batteries to prevent the high discharge/charge overpotentials. The materials in this architecture, Pd/ZnO/C, are synthesized using atomic layer deposition. The results show a low charge overpotential and higher electrochemical catalytic activity than the Pd/Al2O3/C cathode architecture.
