Superior Oxygen Electrocatalysis on Nickel Indium Thiospinels for Rechargeable Zn–Air Batteries
Abstract
Developing active bifunctional oxygen catalysts to eliminate/reduce the reliance on precious-metal-based ones in metal–air batteries is nowadays of great importance. Here, we report the synthesis of nickel indium thiospinel nanosheets supported on carbon nanofibers (denoted as NiIn 2 S 4 /CNFs) via a facile in situ solvothermal growth process and, for the first time, demonstrate its superior bifunctional oxygen electrocatalytic performances as a precatalyst. Electrocatalytic experiments show that NiIn 2 S 4 /CNFs not only exhibits a positive half-wave potential of 0.81 V for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) but also delivers a lower overpotential of 0.39 V for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) at 10 mA cm –2, outperforming those of monometallic Ni or In sulfides. Theoretical calculations confirm that the (220) and (111) plane in NiIn 2 S 4 are selectively active to the ORR and OER, respectively. Apart from the intrinsic nature of NiIn 2 S 4, the superior OER activity of NiIn 2 S 4 /CNFs is also related to the oxide/hydroxide species in-situ-formed on NiIn 2 S 4 surface under the OER condition. Moreover, the developed NiIn 2 S 4 /CNFs pre-catalyst is demonstrated to be an efficient air-cathode for Zn–air batteries. This work brings a new perspective for designing various ternary thiospinels for energy conversion and storage.

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.
