摘要
As one of the most promising candidates for power sources, the rechargeable Zn-air batteries have attracted much attention due to their high energy density. However, Zn-air batteries suffer from sluggish kinetics of oxygen reduction (ORR) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) during the discharge and charge process. Herein, a FeN2-doped carbon with a unique three-dimensional (3D) porous structure (CeO2- FeNC-5) was synthesized as an electrocatalyst for Zn-air batteries by one-step pyrolysis and introducing CeO2 to tune the coordination environment of Fe atoms. Extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) results indicate that the introduction of CeO2 can convert FeN3 moieties into FeN2 moieties. The CeO2-FeNC-5 exhibits a more positive half-wave potential of 0.902 V for ORR, and a low overpotential of 0.327 Vat 10 mA cm -2 for OER. Furthermore, the Zn-air battery with CeO2-FeNC-5 achieve a maximum power density (169 mW cm2), a high open voltage platform (1.47 V) and superior cycling stability (200 h). The unique 3D porous structure provides channels for mass transport and exposes sufficient
