Bimetallic alloy catalysts have become highly sought-after star in the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) due to their excellent catalytic activity and stability. In this study, an optimal catalyst (Co3Fe7@NC-800) involving Co3Fe7 nanoparticles encapsulated by N-doped carbon shield was constructed employing Co-ZIF g-C3N4 assisted with Fe ions as source precursors through impregnation-calcination method. The demonstrates a remarkable 4e– ORR alkaline electrolyte high half-wave potential (E1/2) of up 0.94 V, large limiting current density (JL) 5.81 mA·cm–2, good durable stability, surpassing benchmark Pt/C catalyst. It simultaneously displays moderate evolution (OER) overpotential 355.6 mV at 10 mA·cm–2 (EJ=10). Driven small gap ΔE 0.646 rechargeable zinc-air battery (ZAB) applied air cathode delivers power 141.7 mW·cm–2 specific capacity 800 mAh·gZn–1, rate capability, cycling stability over 200 h 5 mA·cm–2. superior ZAB performance perhaps result from synergy abundant available active sites mediated bimetallic defects. This work will expand application non-noble metal for future metal-air batteries energy systems.
