  • Publication number: 20130029233
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for preparing an MnO2/carbon composite for a lithium-air secondary battery by preparing a precursor solution by dissolving permanganate powder in distilled water, preparing a MnO2/carbon composite by dispersing carbon in the precursor solution and using a reducing agent, and mixing the MnO2/carbon composite with polyvinylidene fluoride (PVdF) and supporting the mixture on nickel foam. According to the method for preparing a MnO2/carbon composite for a lithium-air secondary battery, the MnO2/carbon composite is prepared by dispersing carbon in a permanganate solution, instead of simply mixing carbon with manganese oxide, and thus the binding force between carbon and manganese oxide and the dispersion of carbon in manganese oxide can increase. The MnO2/carbon composite prepared by the above method has improved catalytic performance as an air electrode for a lithium-air secondary battery and thus can be effectively used as an electrode material for lithium-air secondary batteries.
