Porous AgPd–Pd composite nanotubes (NTs) are used as an efficient bifunctional catalyst for the oxygen reduction and evolution reactions in lithium–oxygen batteries. The porous NT structure can facilitate rapid O 2 and electrolyte diffusion through the NTs and provide abundant catalytic sites, forming a continuous conductive network throughout the entire energy conversion process, with excellent cycling performance.
