As one of the most promising candidates for power sources, the rechargeable Zn-air batteries have attracted much attention due to their high energy density. However, Zn-air batteries suffer from sluggish kinetics of oxygen reduction (ORR) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) during the discharge and charge process. Herein, a FeN2-doped carbon with a...

The rational design and fabrication of platinum group metal-free (PGM-free) electrocatalysts for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) via economically feasible approach is essential for reducing the cost of fuel cells and metal-air batteries. Catalysts must have very high activity, and excellent mass diffusion of reactants. Herein, we display a high-per...

Engineering of highly active, and non-precious electrocatalysts are vital to enhance the air-electrodes of rechargeable zinc-air batteries (ZABs). We report a facile co-precipitation technique to develop Ag doped α-MnO2 nanoparticles (NPs) and investigate their application as cathode materials for ZABs. The electrochemical and physical characterist...

The high-performance and durable oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) catalyst on air cathode is a key component in assembly of Zn-air batteries. Herein, three-dimensional N-doped ordered mesoporous carbon (3D N-OMC) was first prepared with silica as a template via pyrolysis with assistance of dicyandiamide as a N-doping agent, combined by full adsorpti...

Precious metal-free Fe-N-C catalysts efficiently electrocatalyze the oxygen reduction reaction both in acid and alkaline electrolyte. Their stability is however limited in acidic medium, but generally accepted to be much higher in alkaline electrolyte. Herein, by combining advanced electron and X-ray based techniques, we provide comprehensive evide...

Owing to their ultimate mass-catalytic activity, simple active site configuration and readily tunable electronic structures, transition-metal single atoms (SAs) on carbon support have emerged as a new category of electrocatalysts for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). Here, we exemplify the use of atomically dispersed Mn with N, O heteroatoms-coordin...

This work reports the development of an iron-nitrogen-carbon electrocatalyst (Fe-N-C) synthesized by functionalization of carbon support using low-cost Fe- and N-based precursors in a wet impregnation procedure followed by a pyrolysis treatment under an inert atmosphere. Structure and surface chemistry were investigated by Raman and X-ray photoelec...
