“…As shown in Figure 2a, a general liquid ZABs consists of three parts: Zn anode, air cathode, and electrolyte. Usually, Zn powder or polished Zn flakes are used as Zn anodes [51] . The air cathode is mainly composed of a catalyst layer, a current collector, and a gas diffusion layer [52] .…”

Due to the energy crisis by the excessive consumption of fossil fuels, Zinc–air batteries (ZABs) with high theoretical energy density have attracted people‘s attention. The overall performance of ZABs is largely determined by the air cathode catalyst. Therefore, it is necessary to develop high‐efficiency and low‐cost bifunctional catalysts to replace noble metal catalysts to promote the development of ZABs. Among a variety of cathode catalysts, TMS has become a research hotspot in recent years because of its better electrical conductivity than metal phosphides and metal oxides. In this work, we focus on the means of improving the electrocatalytic performance of transition‐metal sulfides (TMS) providing ideas for us to rationally design high‐performance catalysts. Furthermore, the performance improvement law between catalyst performance and ZABs is also discussed in this work. Finally, some challenges and opportunities faced in the research of TMS electrocatalysis are briefly proposed, and strategies for improving the performance of ZABs are prospected.
