Transition metal oxide (TMO) nanoarrays are promising architecture designs for self-supporting oxygen electrodes to achieve high catalytic activities in lithium-oxygen (Li- O2) batteries. However, the poor con-ductive nature of TMOs and the confined growth of nanostructures on the limited surfaces of electrode substrates result in the low areal capacities of TMO nanoarray electrodes, which seriously deteriorates the intrinsically high energy densities of Li- O2 batteries. Herein, we propose a hybrid nanoarray archi-tecture design that integrates the high electronic conductivity of carbon nanoflakes (CNFs) and the high catalytic activity of Co3O4 nanosheets on carbon cloth (CC). Due to the synergistic effect of two differ-ently featured components, the hybrid nanoarrays (Co3O4- CNF@CC) achieve a high reversible capacity of 3.14 mA h cm- 2 that cannot be achieved by only single components. Further, CNFs grown on CC induce the three-dimensionally distributed growth of ultrafine Co3O4 nanosheets to enable the efficient utiliza-tion of catalysts. Thus, with the high catalytic efficiency, hybrid Co3O4- CNF@CC also achieves a more prolonged cycling life than pristine TMO nanoarrays. The present work provides a new strategy for im-proving the performance of nanoarray oxygen electrodes via the hybrid architecture design that integrates the intrinsic properties of each component and induces the three-dimensional distribution of catalysts.
