Title: Gradient porous electrode architectures for rechargeable metal-air batteries

Patent ·
OSTI ID:1243311
; ; ; ;

A cathode for a metal air battery includes a cathode structure having pores. The cathode structure has a metal side and an air side. The porosity decreases from the air side to the metal side. A metal air battery and a method of making a cathode for a metal air battery are also disclosed.
