We herein report the preparation of carbon nanotube (CNT)/Co<sub>3</sub>O<sub>4</sub> nanocomposites selectively coated with polyaniline (PANI) via an electropolymerization method, for use as an effective electrode material for Li-air (Li-O<sub>2</sub>) batteries. The Co<sub>3</sub>O<sub>4</sub> catalyst attached to the CNTs facilitated the dissociation of reaction products and reduced the overpotential of the cells. As the carbon surface activates the side reactions, the PANI coating on the car ...[more]
