Synergistic Fe-Se Atom Pairs as Bifunctional Oxygen Electrocatalysts Boost Low-Temperature Rechargeable Zn-Air Battery

Yao Wang et al.

Summary: In this study, bifunctional electrocatalysts, Fe-Se/NC, were successfully constructed by synthesizing atomically dispersed Fe-Se atom pairs supported on N-doped carbon. The obtained Fe-Se/NC exhibited remarkable bifunctional oxygen catalytic performance with a low potential difference of 0.698 V, surpassing that of previously reported Fe-based single-atom catalysts. Theoretical calculations revealed that the p-d orbital hybridization around the Fe-Se atom pairs resulted in significantly asymmetrical polarized charge distributions. Moreover, Fe-Se/NC-based solid-state rechargeable Zn-air batteries demonstrated superior cycling and stability compared to the traditional Pt/C+Ir/C catalysts, even at extremely low temperatures.
