The oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and reduction (ORR) are core steps of various energy conversion storage systems. However, their sluggish kinetics, i.e., the demanding multielectron transfer processes, still render OER/ORR catalysts less efficient for practical applications. Moreover, complexity catalyst–electrolyte interface makes a comprehensive understanding intrinsic mechanisms challenging. Fortunately, recent advances in situ/operando characterization techniques have facilitated kinetic monitoring under conditions. Here we provide selected highlights mechanistic studies with main emphasis placed on heterogeneous systems (primarily discussing first-row transition metals which operate basic conditions), followed by brief outlook molecular catalysts. Key sections this review focused determination true active species, identification sites, reactive intermediates. For in-depth insights into above factors, short overview metrics accurate characterizations is provided. A combination obtained time-resolved information reliable activity data will then guide rational design new Strategies such as optimizing restructuring process well overcoming adsorption-energy scaling relations be discussed.

Single-atom catalysts (SACs) have attracted extensive interest to catalyze the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in fuel cells and metal-air batteries. However, development of SACs with high selectivity long-term stability is a great challenge. In this work, carbon vacancy modified Fe-N-C (FeH -N-C) are practically designed synthesized through microenvironment modulation, achieving high-efficient utilization active sites optimization electronic structures. The FeH -N-C catalyst exhibits half-wave potential (E1/2 ) 0.91 V sufficient durability 100 000 voltage cycles 29 mV E1/2 loss. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations confirm that vacancies around metal-N4 can reduce adsorption free energy OH*, hinder dissolution metal center, significantly enhancing ORR kinetics stability. Accordingly, presented high-power density over 1200 h rechargeable zinc-air batteries (ZABs). This work will not only guide for developing highly stable rational modulation sites, but also provide an insight into structure boost electrocatalytical performances.

Nitrogen-doped graphitic carbon materials hosting single-atom iron (Fe-N-C) are major non-precious metal catalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). The nitrogen-coordinated Fe sites described as first coordination sphere. As opposed to good performance in ORR, that evolution (OER) is extremely poor due sluggish O-O coupling process, thus hampering practical applications of rechargeable zinc (Zn)-air batteries. Herein, we succeed boosting OER activity Fe-N-C by additionally incorporating phosphorus atoms into second sphere, here denoted P/Fe-N-C. resulting material exhibits excellent 0.1 M KOH with an overpotential low 304 mV at a current density 10 mA cm-2. Even more importantly, they exhibit remarkably small ORR/OER potential gap 0.63 V. Theoretical calculations using first-principles functional theory suggest enhances electrocatalytic balancing *OOH/*O adsorption FeN4 sites. When used air cathode Zn-air battery, P/Fe-N-C delivers charge-discharge high peak power 269 mW cm-2, highlighting its role state-of-the-art bifunctional electrocatalyst.
