Abstract

A cathode composed of RuO<sub>2</sub> nanoparticle-decorated NiO nanosheets not only catalyzes the oxygen reduction and evolution reactions, but also promotes the decomposition of the side products (LiOH and Li<sub>2</sub>CO<sub>3</sub>), enabling a non-aqueous lithium–air battery to be truly operated in ambient air.
