Abstract

Abstract : In article number1602420, Zhao‐Qing Liu, Tian‐Yi Ma, and co‐workers describe a high‐performance Zn‐Air battery on an advanced bifunctional oxygen electrode where the nitrogen doped carbon nanotubes embedded with Fe‐Co bimetal nanoparticles are employed as negative and positive electrode‐catalyst for the Zn‐Air battery. The encapsulated FeCo nanoparticles are introduced to enrich the nitrogen sites that possess a unique oxygen catalytic ability. Actually, assembling the Fe‐Co‐C electrode into the Zn‐Air battery achieves a boosted power density together with a robust charge‐discharge cycle life.
