Development of inexpensive, efficient, and stable nonprecious-metal-based bifunctional catalysts for oxygen reduction (ORR) and evolution (OER) reactions remains an enormous challenge. This work reports on an excellent bifunctional electrocatalyst consisting of ultrathin N-doped carbon (1-3 graphitic carbon layers) coated Fe1.2Co nanoparticles and N-doped carbon nanotubes (Fe-1.2 Co@NC/NCNTs). The Fe1.2Co@NC/NCNTs have an extremely low Fe/Co content (6.7 wt %), but with highly efficient and durable bifunctionality for ORR and OER. Specifically, the Fe1.2 Co@NC/NCNT exhibits onset potential (E-onset = 0.842 V vs RHE) and half-wave potential (E-1/2 = 0.82 V vs RHE) for ORR and onset potential of 1.43 V vs RHE and overpotential of 355 mV at 10 mA cm(-2 )for OER. The potential gap (Delta E) between E-1/2 of ORR and E-OER at 10 mA cm(-2) (E-j=10) for the Fe1.2Co@NC/NCNTs is 0.765 V, which surpasses the commercial Pt/C and Ir/C catalysts and most state-of-the-art bifunctional catalysts previously reported. Most notably, when used in the Zn-air battery, the Fe1.2Co@NC/NCNT exhibits superior efficiency and durability to the Pt-Ir/C catalysts. This strongly suggests that the Fe1.2Co@NC/NCNT can be used as an efficient bifunctional catalyst with potential applications in the field of clean electrochemical energy storage and conversion technologies.
