摘要
Owing to the varied mechanisms of ORR/OER,exploiting cost-effective bifunctional catalysts with robust ORR/OER activities and excellent performances in Zn-air batteries is still a challenge.In this work,the Co/CoO@NSC bifunctional catalyst is obtained by using Zn-MOF@Co-MOF as self-template.The Co/CoO@NSC composite has interconnected porous architecture with in tact metal@carb on structure,exhibiting superior electrocatalytic activities toward ORR and OER that can be comparable with the Pt/C and RuO_(2) catalysts,respectively.The Co/CoO@NSC-based aqueous Zn-air battery achieves a high specific capacity(759.7 mAh/g)and energy density(990.5 Wh/kg),and ultra-long rechargeable property(more than 400 h/1200 cycles).The Co/CoO@NSC-based solid-state Zn-air battery also delivers an excellent performance with a long cycle life(more than 143 h/858 cycles).Most importantly,the newly synthesized and recharged Co/CoO@NSC-based solid-state Zn-air battery can be used to light up a 2 V LED lamp for more than 28 h,demonstrating the superior practicability as rechargeable power source.
