Zn–air batteries have only been used in limited applications, such as hearing aid batteries, due to their low power density and standard voltage of around 1.4 V. Therefore, use a drive source cutting-edge devices drones, it is essential improve the output density. Here, we propose with high potential (∼2.25 V) (∼318 mW/cm2) by using newly designed iron azaphthalocyanine unimolecular layer (AZUL) electrocatalyst tandem battery cell. The AZUL this new type cell had electrochemical stability...

In this report, we demonstrate that high-capacity hybrid supercapacitors can be realized by utilizing iron azaphthalocyanine (FeAzPc-4N) adsorbed activated carbons (ACs) as an electrode due to the combination of electric double layer carbon surfaces and redox reactions FeAzPc-4N molecules. By increasing mixing ratio with ACs, a maximum capacity 907 F/gAC is achieved, also enabling rapid charging discharging at 20 A/g. The revelation capacitor electrode's durability through 000 cycles...

Abstract In this report, we elucidated the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) catalytic activity of different metal-azaphthalocyanine unimolecular layer (AZUL) catalysts and compared overpotentials in alkaline electrolyte membrane water electrolysis (AEMWE). While are bit higher to Pt/C, system utilizing FeAzPc-4N with Sustainion ® showed a low overpotential 2.02 V at 1.0 A/cm 2 faraday efficiency 96.3% even among previous alternative catalysts. It is noteworthy that AZUL not using precious...
