Abstract
Rechargeable Zn-air batteries are considered promising candidates for next-generation energy storage and conversion because of their high energy density, low cost, excellent safety, and eco-friendliness. Their development, however, has been largely hampered by the sluggish kinetics for the oxygen-redox reactions at the air cathode, namely the oxygen reduction reaction during discharge and oxygen evolution reaction during charge. This chapter focuses on the design of inexpensive, efficient, and durable bifunctional oxygen catalysts for rechargeable Zn-air batteries, covering a large variety of candidate materials as well as electrode structures.
