Abstract:Amid the world's escalating energy needs, rechargeable zinc−air batteries stand out because of their environmental sustainability, with their performance being critically dependent on the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). The inherent slow kinetics of the ORR at air electrodes frequently constrains their operational efficiency. Here, we develop a new self-catalytic approach for in situ growth of carbon nanotubes with new cathode material Co@ CoN 3 /CNTs-800 without external additives. Density functional theory … Show more
