Abstract

Heteroatom doping plays a significant role in optimizing the catalytic performance of electrocatalysts. However, research on heteroatom doped electrocatalysts with abundant defects and well‐defined morphology remain a great challenge. Herein, a class of defect‐engineered nitrogen‐doped Co 3 O 4 nanoparticles/nitrogen‐doped carbon framework (N‐Co 3 O 4@NC) strongly coupled porous nanocubes, made using a zeolitic imidazolate framework‐67 via a controllable N‐doping strategy, is demonstrated for achieving remarkable oxygen evolution reaction (OER) catalysis. X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy, X‐ray absorption fine structure, and electron spin resonance results clearly reveal the formation of a considerable amount of nitrogen dopants and oxygen vacancies in N‐Co 3 O 4@NC. The defect engineering of N‐Co 3 O 4@NC makes it exhibit an overpotential of only 266 mV to reach 10 mA cm−2, a low Tafel slope of 54.9 mV dec−1 and superior catalytic stability for OER, which is comparable to that of commercial RuO 2. Density functional theory calculations indicate N‐doping could promote catalytic activity via improving electronic conductivity, accelerating reaction kinetics, and optimizing the adsorption energy for intermediates of OER. Interestingly, N‐Co 3 O 4@NC also shows a superior oxygen reduction reaction activity, making it a bifunctional electrocatalyst for zinc–air batteries. The zinc–air battery with the N‐Co 3 O 4@NC cathode demonstrates superior efficiency and durability, showing the feasibility of N‐Co 3 O 4/NC in electrochemical energy devices.

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.
