In order to improve the electrochemical properties of lithium–oxygen batteries(LOBs), especially the cycling performance, a high-efficiency cathode catalyst is the most important component.Hence, we aim to demonstrate that CuCr_2O_4@rGO(CCO@rGO) nanocomposites, which are synthesized using a facile hydrothermal method and followed by a series of calcination processes, are an effective cathode catalyst. The obtained CCO@rGO nanocomposites which served as the cathode catalyst of the LOBs exhibited an outstanding cycling performance for over 100 cycles with a fixed capacity of 1000 mAh g^(-1) at a current density of 200 mA g^(-1). The enhanced properties were attributed to the synergistic effect between the high catalytic efficiency of the spinel-structured CCO nanoparticles, the high specific surface area, and high conductivity of the rGO.展开更多
