Abstract Rechargeable zinc‐air batteries (ZABs) have attracted much attention as the next‐generation energy conversion and storage devices due to abundance environmental friendliness of zinc (Zn) for anode materials, well safety low cost aqueous electrolytes. However, rational design nonprecious low‐cost integrated air cathode materials with a desirable bifunctional oxygen electrocatalytic performance remains great challenge commercialization rechargeable ZABs. In previous research studies,...
Composition modulation and edge enrichment are established protocols to steer the electronic structures catalytic activities of two-dimensional (2D) materials. It is believed that a heteroatom enhances performance by activating chemically inert basal plane 2D crystals. However, have inherently different states, how dopants affect activity remains ambiguous. Here we provide mechanistic insights into this issue monitoring hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) phosphorus-doped MoS2 (P-MoS2)...

The development of efficient and low-cost flexible metal electrodes is significant for rechargeable zinc-air batteries (ZABs). Herein, we reported a new type (zinc nickel) electrode fabricated via two-step deposition method on polyurethane sponges (PUS) ZABs. Compared to conventional electrodes, the metal-coated PUS exhibited great flexibility, softness, natural mechanical resilience. In addition, sandwich-structured ZAB was assembled with in situ cross-linked polyacrylic acid (PAA)-KOH...
