The reversible reduction and evolution of oxygen are the key processes to be mastered before high-energy rechargeable lithium–air batteries can be successfully created. Now an advance towards this goal has been achieved with the synthesis of a pyrochlore catalyst that benefits from a mesoporous structure and oxygen deficiencies.
