Carbon‐wrapped Co/Ni metal nanoparticles (C@Co
xNi1−x) were synthesized by calcination of bimetallic metal–organic frameworks (Co/Ni‐MOFs), prepared by a hydrothermal reaction, under N2 atmosphere and explored as bifunctional catalysts for oxygen reduction reactions (ORR) and oxygen evolution reactions (OER) for rechargeable Zn‐air batteries. Linear sweep voltammetry (LSV) measurements indicated that the composite obtained at 600°C (N600) exhibited superior electrochemical performance to other composites obtained at 500, 700, 800, and 900°C, respectively. Also N600 exhibited stable current–voltage profiles in a cycling test conducted in 8 M KOH solution for 200 h, suggesting that N600 can be a potential catalyst for rechargeable Zn‐air batteries.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
