Single‐Atom Fe‐Nx‐C as an Efficient Electrocatalyst for Zinc–Air Batteries

Han, Junxing, Meng, Xiaoyi, Lu, Liang, Bian, Juanjuan, Li, Zhipeng, Sun, Chunwen·2019·Advanced Functional Materials

Abstract

Highly efficient non‐noble metal electrocatalysts are vital for metal–air batteries and fuel cells. Herein, a noble‐metal–free single‐atom Fe‐N x‐C electrocatalyst is synthesized by incorporating Fe‐Phen complexes into the nanocages in situ during the growth of ZIF‐8, followed by pyrolysis at 900 °C under inert atmosphere. Fe‐Phen species provide both Fe 2+ and the organic ligand (Phen) simultaneously, which play significant roles in preparing single‐atom catalysts. The obtained Fe‐Nx‐C exhibits a half‐wave potential of 0.91 V for the oxygen reduction reaction, higher than that of commercial Pt/C (0.82 V). As a cathode catalyst for primary zinc–air batteries (ZABs), the battery shows excellent electrochemical performances in terms of the high open‐circuit voltage (OCV) of 1.51 V and a high power density of 96.4 mW cm−2. The rechargeable ZAB with Fe‐Nx‐C catalyst and the alkaline electrolyte shows a remarkable cycling performance for 300 h with an initial round‐trip efficiency of 59.6%. Furthermore, the rechargeable all‐solid‐state ZABs with the Fe‐Nx‐C catalyst show high OCV of 1.49 V, long cycle life for 120 h, and foldability. The single‐atom Fe‐Nx‐C electrocatalyst may function as a promising catalyst for various metal–air batteries and fuel cells.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
