Enhanced ethanol oxidation reaction of CoSeO3 by Ni-doping for water electrolysis and an innovative zinc–ethanol–air battery

By doping Ni into m-CoSeO3, the structure of the catalyst was modified to improve the Ethanol Oxidation Reaction (EOR) catalytic performance. The catalyst exhibited excellent EOR catalytic activity (j(10) = 1.35 V) and high stability. Therefore, this catalyst is used in an innovative zinc-ethanol-air battery, which is more efficient and stable than the traditional zinc-air battery.
