We have rationally synthesized a binder-free and robust electrode by directly growing urchin-shaped α-MnO2 nanostructures on porous reduced graphene oxide-coated carbon microfiber (MGC) mats and fabricated an aqueous sodium–air cell using the MGC as an air electrode to demonstrate the rechargeability of an aqueous sodium–air battery. The fabricated aqueous Na–air cell exhibited excellent rechargeability, rate capability and round-trip efficiency.
