(A) A schematic of an aluminum-air battery, where aluminum is oxidized at the anode (left) and oxygen is reduced at the cathode (right).
(B) Specific capacities of Al-air batteries with our modified nanoporous gold (M-NP-Au/CFP), which outperforms commercial platinum carbon (Pt/CFP) electrodes at 50 mA/cm2 current density.
