On page 6862, S.‐L. Chou and co‐workers present an AgPd–Pd porous nanotube with porous channels that facilitates rapid O 2 and electrolyte diffusion and forms a 3D continuous conductive air electrode network in lithium–oxygen batteries. It acts as an efficient bifunctional catalyst for the oxygen reduction reaction and oxygen evolution reaction, promoting Li 2 O 2 to nucleate and decompose on the surface and inside of the nanotubes.
