Abstract

Porous-structured NiO nanosheets, synthesized by means of a facile alcohol-thermal method, were utilized as a noble metal free catalyst for non-aqueous Li–O<sub>2</sub> batteries. The NiO showed good activity for the decomposition of Li<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> and Li<sub>2</sub>CO<sub>3</sub>.
