TL;DR: In this article, the authors introduce the thermodynamics, reaction kinetics, reaction mechanisms, and reaction pathways of ORR in aqueous alkaline media, and summarize the current status of the reaction pathways, advanced catalysts, and the future challenges of the research and development of the ORR.

TL;DR: An electrically rechargeable zinc-air battery using dp-MnCo2O4/CNT hybrid catalysts on the cathode was successfully operated for 64 discharge-charge cycles (or 768 h equivalent), significantly outperforming the Pt/C counterpart, which could only survive up to 108 h under similar conditions.

TL;DR: Benefitting from its efficient catalytic activities and structural advantages, particularly the 3D architecture of highly conductive CNFs and the high loading density of strongly attached Co3O4 NPs on their surfaces, the resultant ZnABs show significantly improved performance with respect to the rate capability, cycling stability and current density, promising good potential in practical applications.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reported the synthesis, characterization and application of an inexpensive yet efficient bifunctional catalyst composed of Ag nanocrystals anchored on α-MnO2 nanorods.

TL;DR: In this article, a robust electrolyte system that improves the cycle life of rechargeable Zn-air batteries was described, which is attributed to reduced carbon corrosion on the air cathode and decreased carbonation in neutral electrolyte.
