Slow oxygen reduction kinetics at the air cathode is one of the most significant barriers to the development of viable metal air batteries.  Approaches for the preparation and characterization of a composite electrode will be discussed.  The oxygen reduction activity of the composite electrode will be compared with that of conventional catalysts.  The results reported here have relevance toward future development of small, lightweight, long life metal air batteries.
