摘要
The advancement of bifunctional oxygen catalysts for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is imperative yet challenging for the optimization of Zn-air batteries. In this study, we reported the successful incorporation of a novel Mott-Schottky catalytic site within a MnO-FeCo heterojunction into an N-doping carbon nanobox, taking into consideration the effects of the intrinsic electric field and hollow/porous support carriers for electrocatalyst design. As expected, the resulting heterogeneous catalyst exhibited an encouraging half-wave potential of 0.88 V and an impressive limiting-current density of 5.62 mA/cm2 for the ORR, as well as a minimal overpotential of 271 mV at 10 mA/cm2 for the OER, both in alkaline conditions. Furthermore, the Zn-air battery constructed with the heterojunction nanobox product displayed a decent potential gap of 0.621 V, an outstanding power density of 253 mW/cm2, a considerable specific capacity of 761 mAh/gZn, and exceptional stability, with up to 336 h of cycling charging and discharging operation. Consequently, this method of modulating the catalyst's surface charge distribution through an internal electric field at the interface and facilitating mass transport offers a novel avenue for the development of robust bifunctional oxygen catalysts.
