The fast development of portable water-splitting devices has led to a great deal work on rechargeable metal-air batteries or solar cells; however, the lack affordable multifunctional electrocatalysts still hampers their widespread applications. Herein, well-aligned ternary metal (oxy)hydroxide nanostructure is sacrificial pseudomorphic transformation template an integrated metal-organic network carbon cloth (CC) surface, that is, Fe-doped framework (MOF) ZnNiCoSe@CC nanosheet network, exhibiting powerful and efficient such as oxygen reduction reaction, evolution hydrogen reaction in alkaline media combined with desirable electrode kinetics. As proof-of-concept observational study, nanostructured MOF could be used air-cathode materials battery. fabricated device delivered higher open-circuit voltage, capacity, peak power density, excellent discharge-charge performance, long cycle life. Thus, our research creates unique perspective highly air electrodes favorable electrocatalytic application overall reaction.
