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.

Опубликована: Фев. 28, 2025

Abstract Rationally tuning Fe‐N‐C catalysts with synergistic nanoparticles for efficient oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) still remains challenging. Here, a nitrogen‐doped carbon‐supported bimetallic catalyst (Pt NPs ‐Fe/NC), combining atomically dispersed sites Pt nanoparticles, is synthesized. Experimental results reveal directional electron transfer between and Fe sites, which induces an effect, effectively modulating the density around sites. The modulation significantly enhances ORR catalytic activity of ‐Fe/NC. As result, ‐Fe/NC displays half‐wave potential 0.901 V (versus RHE) Tafel slope 59 mV dec −1 , surpassing performance commercial Pt/C demonstrating accelerated kinetics. In meantime, maintains excellent durability in terms stability as well. When assembled into liquid zinc‐air batteries (ZABs), delivers peak power 201.48 mW cm −2 specific capacity 809 mAh g . Additionally, ‐Fe/NC‐based flexible ZABs display outstanding discharge cycling stability. This work highlights effectiveness multiscale advancing provides valuable insights construction strategies energy storage applications.
