Efforts at Enhancing Bifunctional Electrocatalysis and Related Events for Rechargeable Zinc‐Air Batteries

Rechargeable zinc-air batteries (RZABs) are one of the most promising next-generation energy-storage technologies for stationary applications (home and industry), wearable portable electronics, transportation (including electric vehicles) due to their high energy density, environmental friendliness, safety, low cost. However, RZABs still face serious challenges (such as sluggish oxygen reactions, poor durability, inferior reversibility zinc anode, cell efficiency) that conspire against widespread commercialization. The reactions occur at three key components RZAB (air cathode, electrolyte) co-operatively its performance. Thus, this review focuses on bifunctional electrocatalytic events cathode (i. e., reduction reaction (ORR) evolution (OER)). That is in addition recent developments aimed mitigating performance-limiting anode electrolytes. This directs attention researchers users critical areas development RZABs.
