Recent Advances in the Development of Single‐Atom Catalysts for Oxygen Electrocatalysis and Zinc–Air Batteries
Abstract
Rechargeable zinc–air batteries (ZABs) are presently attracting a lot of attention for electrical energy storage, owing to their low manufacturing cost and very high theoretical specific energy density. Currently, the large‐scale application of ZABs is hampered by the sluggish kinetics of the oxygen‐reduction reaction (ORR) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER), which underpin battery discharging and charging processes, respectively. In recent years, metal single‐atom catalysts (SACs) have emerged as promising candidates for driving oxygen electrocatalysis in ZABs, offering both high electrocatalytic activity and high metal atom utilization through unique metal coordination environments (typically porphyrin‐like MNx species on N‐doped carbon supports). Herein, recent breakthroughs in the design of SACs for ORR and OER electrocatalysis are summarized, with a general view towards improving ZAB performance. This Review begins by introducing the operating principles of ZABs and the reaction mechanisms of the ORR and the OER on the air electrode, after which the various types of SAC‐based materials developed to date for oxygen electrocatalysis and ZABs are discussed. Special emphasis is placed on the relationships between the structure of the SAC active site and electrocatalytic performance. Finally, challenges and opportunities for SACs in practical ZABs are explored.

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.
