Therefore, it is necessary to prepare a porous anode material with high catalytic performance. The negative electrode of the lithium-air battery is lithium metal, and the positive electrode is a porous carbon material containing a catalyst. The positive electrode and the negative electrode are separated by a diaphragm, and electrolyte is added to form a complete battery structure. The positive electrode serves as an air electrode, which mainly contributes to the energy density of the battery and directly affects the output voltage and output power of the battery.
