A review on development of metal–organic framework-derived bifunctional electrocatalysts for oxygen electrodes in metal–air batteries

Abstract

This review paper is based on importance of metal–organic framework-derived bifunctional electrocatalysts for oxygen electrodes in metal–air batteries (MABs), related to the Oxygen Reduction Reaction (ORR) and Oxygen Evolution Reaction (OER).

Recent Advancements in the Preparation and Application of Copper Single-Atom Catalysts

“…MOFs have gained significant interest in recent decades owing to their fascinating characteristics such as high specific surface area as well as plenty of coordination sites for binding and stabilizing transition metals (Figure ). − MOFs are good platforms to be used as a support for designing and stabilizing single atoms . The unique properties of MOFs enable its use in widespread applications such as catalysis (photocatalysis, electrocatalysis), , gas adsorption and separation, supercapacitors, biomedicine, and sensing …”

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

“…With global fossil energy scarcity and environmental degradation, the demand for clean and sustainable energy supply is increasing. [1][2][3] Zinc-air batteries (ZABs) are considered one of the most promising power sources due to their natural abundance, environmental friendliness, high energy density and outstanding efficiency. 4 Among them, ZABs are considered an important development direction for the next generation of electric energy conversion and storage technology due to their advantages such as natural abundance, low cost, high energy density, and good safety.…”

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.…”
