A facile method is developed for the fabrication of Co3O4 nanoparticles decorated carbon nanofibers, which enable significant improvement of rechargeable Zn-air batteries with respect to rate capability, cycling stability and energy density.
High-density coordination unsaturated copper(i)–nitrogen embedded in graphene demonstrates a high performance and stability in primary zinc–air batteries with ultralow catalyst loading.
Rational design of high-perfomance bifunctional electrocatalysts to simultaneously accelerate the sluggish reversible oxygen reduction and evolution reactions (ORR and OER) is an enormous challenge that restricts the working efficiency and...
CoSb3 nanoparticles wrapped with N-doped carbon layers have been prepared and showed excellent catalytic activities both for ORR and OER. A real rechargeable zinc–air battery with CoSb3@NCL-30 catalyst as air cathode exhibited outstanding electrochemical properties.
