N,S co-doped porous carbon with Co₉S₈ prepared with a Co-FF-derived Co₃O₄ template: a bi-functional electrocatalyst for rechargeable zinc–air batteries

Abstract

To achieve broad commercialization of rechargeable metal-air batteries, the development of non-precious metal-based bi-functional oxygen electrocatalysts is critical. In this study, we prepared N,S co-doped porous carbon materials containing Co9S8...

Zn/N/S Co-doped hierarchical porous carbon as a high-efficiency oxygen reduction catalyst in Zn–air batteries

“…have emerged as promising alternatives to Ptbased catalysts. [12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19] Zn-N-C catalysts, due to the filled d orbitals (3d 10 4s 2 ) of the Zn element, offer more stable performance during the ORR compared to catalysts doped with other elements such as Fe, Co, Ni, and Mn. [20][21][22] In 2017, Gu's team reported the synthesis of Zn-N-C catalysts with atomic dispersion level Zn-N x active sites, demonstrating that the Zn-N x site was the most active part of the catalysts.…”

Recent Advances in Novel Compositions for Electrochemical Applications

“…In recent years, there has been a significant rise in innovative developments in the field of electrochemical composites [1][2][3][4]. These developments have focused on both organic [5][6][7] and inorganic compounds [8][9][10][11][12], including coordination polymers [13][14][15][16]. The importance of these novel compositions cannot be overstated, as they are crucial for the development of a range of molecular materials and devices [17,18].…”
