CoP nanoparticles embedded in three-dimensional porous network-like structured N, O co-doped carbon nanofibers as an effective bi-functional electrocatalyst for rechargeable zinc–air batteries

Abstract

The development of noble-free metal bi-functional electrocatalysts is consistent with the current concept of sustainable development of energy systems. In this study, we develop a strategy to prepare ZIF-67-derived CoP...

Electrospinning-derived transition metal/carbon nanofiber composites as electrocatalysts for Zn-air batteries

“…These defects offer novel active sites to adsorb oxygen. 158 Bian et al achieved the successful synthesis of a ternary metal phosphide electrocatalyst (NiCoFeP/NFs) through an in situ phosphating method. The incorporation of three metal phosphides introduces additional active centers, enhancing the OER catalytic activity of NiCoFeP/NFs.…”

First-principle calculations study of the ORR/OER electrocatalytic activity of ruthenium polyphthalocyanine axially modified with aliphatic thiol groups

“…Therefore, scientists have been committed to studying non-precious metal catalysts as substitutes for precious metal catalysts. 15–23…”

One-step synthesis of sulfur-containing carbon nanosheets via solution plasma process for enhanced electrochemical catalyst

“…To develop secondary batteries for metal-air applications, an electrode catalyst capable of both ORR and OER is necessary for the air electrode. [10][11][12][13][14][15] While noble metal electrocatalysts exhibit excellent catalytic performance for the ORR and OER, their high cost and limited durability hinder their commercial applicability. 16 Choi et al 17 conducted a comprehensive review of the latest developments in the field of 2D carbon materialbased electrocatalysts for energy conversion reactions, including the OER and ORR.…”
