title: A perfluorinated moiety-grafted carbon nanotube electrode for the non-aqueous lithium-oxygen battery.
abstract: A perfluorinated alkyl chain grafted to carbon nanotubes is employed in the lithium-oxygen (Li-O2) cell. We demonstrate a highly localized Li-O2 electrochemical reaction in close proximity to the perfluorinated moiety owing to its high O2 affinity. This hydrophobic modification can provide an enhancement in capacity for a very thin microbattery system.
