A competitive complexation strategy has been developed to construct a novel electrocatalyst with Zn-Co atomic pairs coordinated on N doped carbon support (Zn/CoN-C). Such architecture offers enhanced binding ability of O2 , significantly elongates the O-O length (from 1.23 Å 1.42 Å), and thus facilitates cleavage bond, showing theoretical overpotential 0.335 V during ORR process. As result, Zn/CoN-C catalyst exhibits outstanding performance in both alkaline acid conditions half-wave...
