A semiconductor–air battery, powered by a flat p-type Ge anode, exhibits an unprecedented full discharge energy capacity and anode utilization efficiency relative to commercial metal–air batteries, and new metal–air batteries using 3D, nanostructured, and porous metal anodes.
Perovskites are promising catalysts for metal-air batteries because of their excellent intrinsic catalytic activities. However, the low specific surface area and less surface defects lead to low catalytic activities regarding...
