Leticia S. Bezerra et al.

Summary: A highly durable bifunctional catalyst for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) on the air electrode of zinc-air batteries (ZAB) was proposed, which consisted of NiCo2O4 blended with nitrogen-doped graphene nanoribbons (GNRN).

The NiCo2O4/GNRN-based ZABs showed comparable power densities and specific capacities to the commercial Pt-Ru/C catalyst.

Rapid preparation of porous carbon by flame burning carbonization method for supercapacitor

Bolang Chen et al.

Summary: In this study, the feasibility of fabricating porous biocarbon materials through a simple and quick flame burning carbonization synthetic strategy was investigated. Cotton, dandelion, and catkin, which are fluffy and contain lots of air between the tissues, were easily carbonized. K2CO3-KCl acted as an activator, template agent, and surface cover to isolate air with biocarbon and prevent biomass burn out. The prepared carbon exhibited a hierarchical porous structure, large specific surface area, and abundant heteroatoms doping, showing a high specific capacitance of 367 F g-1 in 6 M KOH. Moreover, a large voltage window of K2CO3-glycol-arginine electrolyte was prepared, and the assembled symmetric supercapacitor exhibited an energy density of 30.7 Wh kg-1 and a wide operating temperature range from -25 to 100 degrees C. The practicability of the flame burning rapid carbonization strategy, recycling of K salt, and large-scale production were verified.
