TLDR
A mesoporous carbon foam co-doped with nitrogen and phosphorus that has a large surface area and good electrocatalytic properties for both ORR and OER and is tested as an air electrode for primary and rechargeable Zn-air batteries.Abstract:
A co-doped carbon material, methods of making such materials, and electrochemical cells and devices comprising such materials are provided. The co-doped carbon material comprises a mesoporous carbon material doped with nitrogen and phoshporous (NPMC). The present NPMC exhibit catalytic activity for both oxygen reduction reaction and oxygen evolution reaction and may be useful as an electrode in an electrochemical cell and particularly as part of a battery. The present NPMC materials may be used as electrodes in primary zinc-air batteries and in rechargeable zinc-air batteries and many other energy systems.read more
