Abstract Mn‐based mullite oxides AMn 2 O 5 (A = lanthanide, Y, Bi) is a novel type of ternary catalyst in terms their electronic and geometric structures. The coexistence pyramid Mn 3+ –O octahedral 4+ makes the d‐orbital selectively active toward various catalytic reactions. alternative edge‐ corner‐sharing stacking configuration constructs confined sites abundant oxygen species. As result, they tend to show superior behaviors thus gain great attention environmental treatment energy...
Abstract Developing fast‐charging Zn–air batteries is crucial for widening their application but remains challenging owing to the limitation of sluggish oxygen evolution reaction (OER) kinetics and insufficient active sites electrocatalysts.
