Article Synopsis
- Reducing the charging voltage is crucial for enhancing the performance and efficiency of zinc-air batteries (ZABs), with Fe facilitating electron transfer from cobalt sites during charging.
- The study shows that liquid ZABs operate at a charging voltage of about 1.94 V with a minimal increase over 180 hours, while quasi-solid-state ZABs maintain around 1.87 V under similar conditions.
- The research highlights that the interactions between oxygen and iron sites are weaker than those with cobalt, with iron proving more effective for boosting the oxygen evolution reaction and improving battery performance.
Oxygen reduction reaction the two-electron pathway (2e ORR) offers a sustainable opportunity for hydrogen peroxide (HO) production, but suffers from low selectivity. In this work, indium oxide with oxygen vacancies (InO) exhibits a HO selectivity close to 98% at 0.6 V RHE.
