Abstract

The 2e − ORR pathway can reduce energy loss and improve charge–discharge rates in zinc–air batteries. Additionally, the generated H 2 O 2 intermediate can be chemically or electrochemically utilized, enhancing overall battery capacity and efficiency.

Fields of Study & Subjects

Advanced battery technologies research Microbial Fuel Cells and Bioremediation Electrocatalysts for Energy Conversion
