Abstract N‐doped carbon confined alloy catalysts possess considerable potential in facilitating oxygen electrocatalytic reaction and consequent applications metal air batteries, but the sluggish catalytic kinetics high barrier of reduction (ORR) remain bottleneck restricting its further development. Here, a novel CoFe‐NiFe biphase nanoheterojunction encapsulated within nanotubes (CoFe‐NiFe@NCNT) is fabricated via hydrothermal carbothermic approach. Owing to plentiful active sites electrical conductance, difference between OER ORR amounts merely 0.68 V. Simultaneously, performance Zn‐air Mg‐air batteries assembled by CoFe‐NiFe@NCNT serving as air‐cathode are superior that commercial Pt/C + RuO 2 . The DFT outcomes reveal transformation *OOH *O rate‐determining step (RDS) ORR/OER. Also, synergy heterojunction conducive reduce energy barrier. This study offers profound understanding toward structural design electrocatalysts utilization metal‐air for portable wearable electronic apparatuses.

Abstract Zinc‐air batteries (ZABs) offer promising forthcoming large‐scale high‐density storage systems and the cost‐effectiveness of electrode materials, specifically in solid‐state liquid electrolytes. However, uncontrolled diffusion utilization irreversible zinc components cell design principles limit practical applications with severe capacity fade interfacial reactions. In this perspective article, aim is to shed lights on underlying mechanisms solid electrolytes interfaces alongside current status prospective research insights. Formulations ampere‐hour (Ah)‐scale cylindrical/pouch cells are discussed for 100–500 Wh kg −1 cell‐level energy metrics under realistic operations. The electrode/electrolyte interface dynamics, scale‐up readiness, testing protocols, key performance also suggested transforming lab‐scale into production.

Metal–air batteries desire highly active, durable, and low-cost oxygen reduction catalysts to replace expensive platinum (Pt). The Fe–N–C catalyst is recognized as the most promising candidate for Pt; however, its durability hindered by carbon corrosion, while activity restricted due limited reaction. Herein, TiN creatively designed be hybridized with (TiN/Fe–N–C) relieve corrosion absorb more when catalyzing reduction. half-wave potential of TiN/Fe–N–C 0.915 V vs reverse hydrogen electrode 15 mV lost after 30,000 cycles accelerated test, higher than 0.893 26 Pt/C. solid zinc–air battery achieves a peak power density 238 mW/cm2, 2100 cycle stability at 30 °C, long-term 1100 h under −20 superior 150 mW/cm2 500 (−20 °C) Both calculations experiments indicate that has dual functions which not only relay abundant reaction but also strengthen adsorption force intermediates reaction, thus, enhancing Fe–N–C. Therefore, proposed catalytic strategy offers an efficient energy conversion devices.
