Abstract
FeNC single atom catalysts (SACs) have attracted great interest due to their highly active FeN4 sites. However, the pyrolysis treatment often leads to inevitable metal migration and aggregation, which reduces the catalytic activity. Moreover, due to the Fenton reaction caused by FeNC in alkaline and acidic solutions, the presence of Fe and peroxide in electrodes may generate free radicals, resulting in serious degradation of the organic ionomer and the membrane. Herein, we report an original strategy of introducing Co single atoms into FeNC catalysts, forming atomically dispersed bimetallic active sites (FeCoNC) and improving the activity and stability of the catalyst. Benefiting from this strategy, FeCoNC catalyst exhibits excellent oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) activity in alkaline media (E1/2 = 0.88 V) and in acidic media (E1/2 = 0.77 V). As the cathode of Zn-air battery (ZAB), FeCoNC shows an excellent peak power density of 142.8 mW cm-2 and a specific capacity of 806.6 mAh/gZn. This work provides a novel avenue to optimize and enhance the ORR performance of atomic dispersed FeNC catalysts.

Abstract
Reasonable design of low-cost, high-efficiency and stable bifunctional oxygen electrocatalysts is of great significance to improve the reaction efficiency of Zn-air batteries, which is still a huge challenge. Here, we report a highly efficient bifunctional oxygen electrocatalyst with three-dimensional (3D) N-doped graphene network-supported cobalt and cobalt oxide nanoparticles (Co/CoO-NG), which can be in situ synthesized by inducing metal ions on metal plates via graphene oxide as an inducer. This 3D network structure and open active center show excellent bifunctional oxygen electrocatalytic activity under alkaline conditions, and can be used as an air electrode in rechargeable Zn-air batteries, with significantly better power density (244.28 mW cm-2) and stability (over 340 h) than commercial Pt/C+RuO2 mixtures. This work is conducive to advancing the practical application of graphene-based materials as air electrodes for rechargeable zinc-air batteries.

Abstract
Zinc-air batteries (ZABs) are gaining attention as an ideal option for various applications requiring high-capacity batteries, such as portable electronics, electric vehicles, and renewable energy storage. ZABs offer advantages such as low environmental impact, enhanced safety compared to Li-ion batteries, and cost-effectiveness due to the abundance of zinc. However, early research faced challenges due to parasitic reactions at the zinc anode and slow oxygen redox kinetics. Recent advancements in restructuring the anode, utilizing alternative electrolytes, and developing bifunctional oxygen catalysts have significantly improved ZABs. Scientists have achieved battery reversibility over thousands of cycles, introduced new electrolytes, and achieved energy efficiency records surpassing 70%. Despite these achievements, there are challenges related to lower power density, shorter lifespan, and air electrode corrosion leading to performance degradation. This review paper discusses different battery configurations, and reaction mechanisms for electrically and mechanically rechargeable ZABs, and proposes remedies to enhance overall battery performance. The paper also explores recent advancements, applications, and the future prospects of electrically/mechanically rechargeable ZABs.

Abstract
Rechargeable zinc-air batteries are widely recognized as a highly promising technology for energy conversion and storage, offering a cost-effective and viable alternative to commercial lithium-ion batteries due to their unique advantages. However, the practical application and commercialization of zinc-air batteries are hindered by the sluggish kinetics of the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Recently, extensive research has focused on the potential of first-row transition metals (Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, and Cu) as promising alternatives to noble metals in bifunctional ORR/OER electrocatalysts, leveraging their high-efficiency electrocatalytic activity and excellent durability. This review provides a comprehensive summary of the recent advancements in the mechanisms of ORR/OER, the performance of bifunctional electrocatalysts, and the preparation strategies employed for electrocatalysts based on first-row transition metals in alkaline media for zinc-air batteries. The paper concludes by proposing several challenges and highlighting emerging research trends for the future development of bifunctional electrocatalysts based on first-row transition metals.

Abstract
Oxygen doping strategy is one of the most effective methods to improve the electrochemical properties of nickel-cobalt phosphide (NiCoP)-based capacitors by adjusting its inherent electronic structure. In this paper, O-doped NiCoP microspheres derived from porous nanostructured nickel metal-organic frameworks (Ni-MOFs) were constructed through solvothermal method followed by phosphorization treatment. The O-doping concentration has a siginificant influence on the rate performance and cycle stability. The optimized O-doped NiCoP electrode material shows a specific capacitance of 632.4 F-g-1at 1 A-g-1and a high retention rate of 56.9% at 20 A g-1. The corresponding NiCoP-based asymmetric supercapacitor exhibits a high energy density of 30.1 Wh kg-1when the power density is 800.9 W kg-1, and can still maintain 82.1% of the initial capacity after 10 000 cycles at 5 A g-1.

Abstract
Amorphous transition metal oxides have attracted significant attention in energy storage devices owing to their potentially desirable electrochemical properties caused by abundant unsaturated dangling bonds. However, the amorphization further amplifies the shortcoming of the poor intrinsic electronic conductivity of the metal oxides, resulting in unsatisfying rate capability and power density. Herein, freestanding amorphous Ca-doped V2 O5 (a-Ca-V2 O5 ) cathodes are successfully prepared via in situ electrochemical oxidation of Ca-doped VO2 nanoarrays for wearable aqueous zinc-ion batteries. The doping of Ca and construction of freestanding structure effectively uncover the potential of amorphous V2 O5 , which can make full use of the abundant active sites for high volumetric capacity and simultaneously achieve fast reaction kinetics for excellent rate performance. More importantly, the introduction of Ca can notably reduce the formation energy of VO2 according to theoretical calculation results and realizes amorphous to crystalline reversible conversion chemistry in the charge/discharge procedure, thereby facilitating the reversible capacity of the newly developed a-Ca-V2 O5 . This work provides an innovative design strategy to construct high-rate capacity amorphous metal oxides as freestanding electrodes for low-cost and high-safe wearable energy-storage technology.

Abstract
The development of efficient, cost-effective, bifunctional cathode catalyst materials to replace precious metals is highly attractive for the fabrication of Zn-air battery. Here, the three-dimensional N and S co-doped carbon nanosheets loaded with cobalt sulfide nanoparticles (Co1-xS@SNFC) for bifunctional oxygen electrocatalysis were synthesized with Co(NO3)2·6H2O as the Co source, lignin as the carbon source, thiourea as the nitrogen/ sulfur source, and MgO as the template. The synergistic effect of multiple active sites gives the Co1-xS@SNFC fast electrochemical kinetic properties and excellent stability to oxygen reduction reactions (ORR) and oxygen evolution reactions (OER). The half-wave potential and overpotential of Co1-xS@SNFC were 0.84 mV and 306 mV, respectively, which is closed to commercial noble metal catalysts. In addition, Co1-xS@SNFC exhibited four-electron transfer characteristics and ultra-low tafel slope. Compared with commercial Pt/C, the Zn-air battery assembled from Co1-xS@SNFC exhibited a low voltage gap of polarization curve (0.75 V) between charging and discharge and high power density (207 mWcm-2) in alkaline electrolyte. This work developed a green and novel fabrication approach for the synthesis of bifunctional electrocatalyst and provides a new idea for high-value utilization of biomass.

Abstract
Metal-oxygen bonds significantly affect the oxygen reaction kinetics of metal oxide-based catalysts but still face the bottlenecks of limited cognition and insufficient regulation. Herein, we develop a unique strategy to accurately tailor metal-oxygen bond structure via amorphous/crystalline heterojunction realized by ion-exchange. Compared with pristine amorphous CoSnO3-y, iron ion-exchange induced amorphous/crystalline structure strengthens the Sn-O bond, weakens the Co-O bond strength, and introduces additional Fe-O bond, accompanied by abundant cobalt defects and optimal oxygen defects with larger pore structure and specific surface area. The optimization of metal-oxygen bond structure is dominated by the introduction of crystal structure and further promoted by the introduction of Fe-O bond and rich Co defect. Remarkably, the Fe doped amorphous/crystalline catalyst (Co1-xSnO3-y-Fe0.021-A/C) demonstrates excellent oxygen evolution reaction and oxygen reduction reaction activities with a smaller potential gap (ΔE = 0.687 V), and the Zn-air battery based with Co1-xSnO3-y-Fe0.021-A/C exhibits excellent output power density, cycle performance, and flexibility.

Abstract
The advent of 5G and the Internet of Things has spawned a demand for wearable electronic devices. However, the lack of a suitable flexible energy storage system has become the "Achilles' Heel" of wearable electronic devices. Additional problems during the transformation of the battery structure from conventional to flexible also present a severe challenge to the battery design. Flexible Zn-based batteries, including Zn-ion batteries and Zn-air batteries, have long been considered promising candidates due to their high safety, eco-efficiency, substantial reserve, and low cost. In the past decade, researchers have come up with elaborate designs for each portion of flexible Zn-based batteries to improve the ionic conductivities, mechanical properties, environment adaptabilities, and scalable productions. It would be helpful to summarize the reported strategies and compare their pros and cons to facilitate further research toward the commercialization of flexible Zn-based batteries. In this review, the current progress in developing flexible Zn-based batteries is comprehensively reviewed, including their electrolytes, cathodes, and anodes, and discussed in terms of their synthesis, characterization, and performance validation. By clarifying the challenges in flexible Zn-based battery design, we summarize the methodology from previous investigations and propose challenges for future development. In the end, a research paradigm of Zn-based batteries is summarized to fit the burgeoning requirement of wearable electronic devices in an iterative process, which will benefit the future development of Zn-based batteries.

Abstract
The emerging star of single atomic site (SAS) catalyst has been regarded as the most promising Pt-substituted electrocatalyst for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in anion-exchange membrane fuel cells (AEMFCs). However, the metal loading in SAS directly affects the whole device performance. Herein, we report a dual nitrogen source coordinated strategy to realize high dense Cu-N4 SAS with a metal loading of 5.61 wt% supported on 3D N-doped carbon nanotubes/graphene structure wherein simultaneously performs superior ORR activity and stability in alkaline media. When applied in H2 /O2 AEMFC, it could reach an open-circuit voltage of 0.90 V and a peak power density of 324 mW cm-2 . Operando synchrotron radiation analyses identify the reconstruction from initial Cu-N4 to Cu-N4 /Cu-nanoclusters (NC) and the subsequent Cu-N3 /Cu-NC under working conditions, which gradually regulate the d-band center of central metal and balance the Gibbs free energy of *OOH and *O intermediates, benefiting to ORR activity.

Abstract
Herein we present a facile synthesis of the graphene oxide-decorated binary transition metal oxides of Bi2O3 and MnO2 nanocomposites (Bi2O3/MnO2/GO) and their applications in the voltammetric detection of lead ions (Pb2+) in water samples. The surface morphologies, crystal structures, electroactive surface area, and charge transferred resistance of the Bi2O3/MnO2/GO nanocomposites were investigated through the scanning electron microscopy (SEM), power X-ray diffraction (XRD), cyclic voltammetry (CV), and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) techniques, respectively. The Bi2O3/MnO2/GO nanocomposites were further decorated onto the surface of a glassy carbon electrode (GCE), and Pb2+ was quantitatively analyzed by using square-wave anodic stripping voltammetry (SWASV). We explored the effect of the analytical parameters, including deposition potential, deposition time, and solution pH, on the stripping peak current of Pb2+. The Bi2O3/MnO2/GO nanocomposites enlarged the electroactive surface area and reduced the charge transferred resistance by significant amounts. Moreover, the synergistic enhancement effect of MnO2, Bi2O3 and GO endowed Bi2O3/MnO2/GO/GCE with extraordinary electrocatalytic activity toward Pb2+ stripping. Under optimal conditions, the Bi2O3/MnO2/GO/GCE showed a broad linear detection range (0.01-10 μM) toward Pb2+ detection, with a low limit of detection (LOD, 2.0 nM). The proposed Bi2O3/MnO2/GO/GCE electrode achieved an accurate detection of Pb2+ in water with good recoveries (95.5-105%).

Abstract
The development of electrocatalysts for both oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) with high-activity and atability still remain great challenges for rechargeable Zn-air batteries. Herein, a new type of Co-doped Ce-N-C bifunctional electrocatalyst has been synthesized through a simple two-step method, which realizes the high dispersion of Co3O4on the CeO2carbon frame and stabilizes its specific surface area. Benefiting from the synergistic interaction between Co3O4and CeO2, the conductivity of the electrocatalyst is improved and the oxygen reduction reaction/oxygen storage properties are promoted. The resultant Co3O4-CeO2@N-C catalyst shows remarkable ORR activity with the high initial potential (E0 = 0.8 V), the large limiting current density (jL = 6 mA cm-2), and a low Tafel slope (81 mV dec-1). In full cell tests, Co3O4-CeO2@NC as the oxygen electrode exhibites superior charge/discharge capacity and excellent cycle stability. The assembled Zn-air battery achieves a maximum power density of 110 mW cm-2at a current density of 180 mA cm-2, and a high specific capacity of 780 mAh g-1at a discharge current density of 10 mA cm-2.

Abstract
The rational exploration of hybrid materials with well-defined compositions and structures/morphologies is essential for achieving high-performance electrodes for supercapacitors. Here, in situ dispersion and anchoring of NiCoP nanoparticles (NPs) on a bimetal-organic framework (Co1Ni2-MOF) by a controllable partial phosphorization approach are reported. The phosphating temperature and time significantly affect the specific capacitance of NiCoP/Co1Ni2-MOF-X-Y (where X and Y represent the phosphating temperature and time, respectively). Co1Ni2-MOF provides anchoring sites for confining NiCoP NPs, effectively improving the stability of NiCoP NPs. Highly dispersed NiCoP NPs facilitate OH- adsorption, boosting the redox reaction kinetics. NiCoP/Co1Ni2-MOF-350-2 with optimized phosphating conditions exhibits a high specific capacitance of 525 F g-1 at 0.5 A g-1, which is superior to that of the precursor of Co1Ni2-MOF. Moreover, a hybrid supercapacitor constructed with NiCoP/Co1Ni2-MOF-350-2 and activated carbon shows a high specific capacitance and outstanding long-term stability.

Abstract
Iron-cobalt (FeCo) oxides dispersed on reduced graphene oxide (rGO) were synthesized from nitrate precursors at loading levels from 10 wt% to 60 wt%. These catalysts were tested in lab-scale zinc-air batteries (ZABs) at a high current density of 100 mA cm-2 of the cathode area for the first time, cycling between 60 min of discharging and 60 min of charging. The optimum loading level for the best ZAB cycling performance was found to be 40 wt%, at which CoFe2O4 and CoO nanocrystals were detected. A discharge capacity of at least 90% was maintained for about 60 cycles with FeCo 40 wt%, demonstrating superior stability over amorphous FeCo oxides with FeCo 10 wt% despite similar performance at electrochemical tests. At a high current density of 100 mA cm-2, OER catalytic activity was found to be the limiting factor in ZAB's cyclability. The discrepancies between the ORR/OER catalytic activities by electrochemical and battery cycling test results highlight the role and importance of rGO in improving electrical conductivity and activation of metal oxide electrocatalysts under high current density conditions. The difference of battery cycling test results from traditional electrochemical test results suggests that electrochemical tests conducted at low current densities may be inadequate in predicting practical battery cycling performance.

Abstract
Along with the exponential demand for energy and pollution-free-environment, layered double hydroxides (LDHs) have gained extensive explorations because of their diverse nanostructures and tunable elemental compositions. However, the applications of LDHs are hindered by their poor activity, sluggish mass transfer, and aggregation. LDHs functionalized by carbonaceous materials (CMs) (LDH-CM) are expected to overcome the above disadvantages and even generate more excellent performance. This review first analyzes the research evolvement of LDH-CM composites during the past 25 years. Next, the advantages of LDH-CM composites are highlighted, such as morphology optimization, high electrical conductivity, more stable, good heat, and mass transfer performance. Following the synthetic strategies, including chemical assembly of LDHs and CMs, direct growth of LDH on CMs (two-step nucleation and growth and surface-confined growth) and direct CM formation on LDHs are fully discussed. Then, the recent progress achieved in LDH-CM composites for the application of energy storage and environmental protection is summarized in detail. In particular, the review illustrates the reasons why these constructing strategies can improve the performance of LDH-CM composites. Finally, challenges and future research prospects of LDH-CM composites are highlighted.

Abstract
Rechargeable zinc-air batteries call for high-performance bifunctional oxygen electrocatalysts. Transition metal single-atom catalysts constitute a promising candidate considering their maximum atom efficiency and high intrinsic activity. However, the fabrication of atomically dispersed transition metal sites is highly challenging, creating a need for for new design strategies and synthesis methods. Here, a clicking confinement strategy is proposed to efficiently predisperse transitional metal atoms in a precursor directed by click chemistry and ensure successful construction of abundant single-atom sites. Concretely, cobalt-coordinated porphyrin units are covalently clicked on the substrate for the confinement of the cobalt atoms and affording a Co-N-C electrocatalyst. The Co-N-C electrocatalyst exhibits impressive bifunctional oxygen electrocatalytic performances with an activity indicator ΔE of 0.79 V. This work extends the approach to prepare transition metal single-atom sites for efficient bifunctional oxygen electrocatalysis and inspires the methodology on precise synthesis of catalytic materials.

Abstract
Manganese oxides are promising cathode materials for aqueous zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs) due to their high energy density and low cost. However, in their discharging processes, the Jahn-Teller effect and Mn3+ disproportionation often lead to irreversible structural transformation and Mn2+ dissolution, deteriorating the cycling stability of ZIBs. Herein, ZnMn2 O4 quantum dots (ZMO QDs) were introduced into a porous carbon framework by in-situ electrochemically inducing Mn-MIL-100-derived Mn3 O4 quantum dots and the carbon composite. In such ZMO QDs and carbon composite, the quantum dot structure endows ZnMn2 O4 with a shorter ion diffusion route and more active sites for Zn2+ . The conductive carbon framework is beneficial to the fast transport of electrons. Furthermore, at the interface between the ZMO QDs and the carbon matrix, the Mn-O-C bonds are formed. They can effectively suppress the Jahn-Teller effect and manganese dissolution of discharge products. Therefore, Zn/ZMO QD@C batteries display remarkably enhanced electrochemical performance.

Abstract
In the past few years Prussian Blue Analogues (PBAs), as advanced metal organic framework compounds, have gathered a lot of attention due to its three-dimensional structural network and properties. PBAs are famous for their multitasking ability as they have shown an efficient role in scientific research and development with their excellent performance in various fields like, electrochemical sensors, photocatalysis, electrocatalysis, and energy storage applications. Apart from their high-tech productivity, PBAs also have some other advantages associated to them such as benign nature, economical and facile synthesis, extensive surface properties, higher theoretical capacity and exceptional electrochemical behavior which makes it more promising material for energy storage application. To further tune its properties according to the application of interest, the chemical modification by metal incorporation is the most commonly adopted strategy. For this purpose, the major research is done in the synthesis of bimetallic PBAs. The presence of metal atoms with different oxidation states can bring about dramatic reinforcements like finer microstructures with better crystallographic features, ultimately giving rise to more stable electrochemical behavior. In this article, we aim to list out all the bimetallic PBAs with focus on the synergistic effect of more than one metal within the structure of PBA and thorough analysis of their Electrochemical properties in energy storage applications.

Abstract
The increasing demands of energy and environmental concerns have motivated researchers to cultivate renewable energy resources for replacing conventional fossil fuels. The modern energy conversion and storage devices required high efficient and stable electrocatalysts to fulfil the market demands. In previous years, we are witness for considerable developments of scientific attention in Metal-organic Frameworks (MOFs) and their derived nanomaterials in electrocatalysis. In current review article, we have discussed the progress of optimistic strategies and approaches for the manufacturing of MOF-derived functional materials and their presentation as electrocatalysts for significant energy related reactions. MOFs functioning as a self-sacrificing template bid different benefits for the preparation of metal nanostructures, metal oxides and carbon-abundant materials promoting through the porous structure, organic functionalities, abundance of metal sites and large surface area. Thorough study for the recent advancement in the MOF-derived materials, metal-coordinated N-doped carbons with single-atom active sites are emerging candidates for future commercial applications. However, there are some tasks that should be addressed, to attain improved, appreciative and controlled structural parameters for catalytic and chemical behavior.

Abstract
Low-cost bifunctional nonprecious metal catalysts toward oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) are critical for the commercialization of rechargeable zinc-air batteries (ZABs). However, the preparation of highly active and durable bifunctional catalysts is still challenging. Herein, an efficient catalyst is reported consisting of FeCo nanoparticles embedded in N-doped carbon nanotubes (FeCo NPs-N-CNTs) by an in situ catalytic strategy. Due to the encapsulation and porous structure of N-doped carbon nanotubes, the catalyst shows high activity toward ORR and excellent durability. Furthermore, to enhance the OER activity, CoFe-layer double hydroxide (CoFe-LDH) is coupled with FeCo NPs-N-CNTs by in situ reaction approach. As the air electrode for rechargeable ZABs, the cell with CoFe-LDH@FeCo NPs-N-CNTs catalyst exhibits high open-circuit potential (OCP) of 1.51 V, high power density of 116 mW cm-2 , and remarkable durability up to 100 h, demonstrating its great promise for the practical application of the rechargeable ZABs.

Abstract
Searching for high-quality air electrode catalysts is the long-term goal for the practical application of Zn-air batteries. Here, a series of coexistent composite materials (CoNi/NHCS-TUC-x) of cobalt-nickel supported on nitrogen-doped hollow spherical carbon and tubular carbon are obtained using a simple pyrolysis strategy. Co and Ni in the composites are mainly present in the form of alloy nanoparticles, M-Nx and M-Cx (M = Co or Ni) species, with high oxygen reduction reaction (ORR)/oxygen evolution reaction (OER) electroactivity. The materials containing different proportions of spherical carbon and tubular carbon obtained by simply adjusting the raw materials for generating tubular carbon exhibit interesting bifunctional performance: samples with an abundant tubular content have the highest ORR onset potential (0.91 V vs reversible hydrogen electrode), while those with a rich spherical content have the highest ORR current density (5.13 mA·cm-2). Furthermore, CoNi/NHCS-TUC-3 provides the lowest potential difference (ΔE = Ej=10 - E1/2) of 0.806 V. We then test the potential possibility of CoNi/NHCS-TUC-3 as an air electrode for primary and rechargeable Zn-air batteries. The primary battery delivers an open-circuit potential of 1.59 V, a peak power density of 361.8 mA·cm-2, and a specific capacity of 756.5 mA h·gZn-1. The rechargeable battery could be cycled stably for more than 55 h at 10 mA·cm-2. These characteristics make CoNi/NHCS-TUC-3 a superior electrocatalyst for both the ORR and OER, as well as a suitable bifunctional electrode applied to a rechargeable Zn-air battery.

Abstract
Zinc-air batteries (ZABs) are promising as energy storage devices owing to their high energy density and the safety of electrolytes. Construction of abundant triple-phase boundary (TPB) effectively facilitates cathode reactions occurring at TPB. Herein, a wood-derived integral air electrode containing Co/CoO nanoparticles and nitrogen-doped carbonized wood (Co/CoO@NWC) is constructed with a dual catalytic function. The potential gap between oxygen reduction and evolution is shortened to 0.77 V. Liquid ZABs using Co/CoO@NWC as cathode exhibit high discharge specific capacity (800 mAh gZn-1 ), low charge-discharge gap (0.84 V), and long-term cycling stability (270 h). Co/CoO@NWC also shows distinguished catalytic activity and stability in all-solid-state ZABs. The inherent layered porous and pipe structures of wood are well maintained in catalytically active carbon. The different hydrophilicity of carbonized wood and Co/CoO endow abundant TPBs for battery reaction. The Co/CoO located on TPB provides main active sites for oxygen reactions. The inherent pipe structures of wood carbon and the interaction between Co/CoO and NWC effectively prevent nanoparticles from aggregation. The design and preparation of this monolithic electrocatalyst contribute to the broad-scale application of ZABs and promote the development of next-generation biomass-based storage devices.

Abstract
Engineering functional defects in support materials has gained ever-increasing attention as a novel approach to boosting the catalytic performance of oxide-supported catalysts. Herein, we demonstrate the feasibility of engineering oxygen vacancy in iron oxide through amorphization in conjunction with foreign cation doping and elucidate the important role of support functionality in the catalytic oxidation of formaldehyde (HCHO). A supported Pt catalyst on Fe-W-O amorphous nanosheets (denoted as Pt/a-Fe-W-O) was synthesized using a one-step solvothermal method. This simple method allowed us to simultaneously create abundant oxygen vacancies in the substrate and to ensure uniform dispersion of tiny Pt nanoparticles with an average diameter of 1.4 nm on the high-surface-area substrate. This renders an increased possibility of Pt/O-vacancy coexistence in close proximity, which synergistically boosts the formation of active oxygen and surface hydroxyl species. Consequently, the Pt/a-Fe-W-O catalyst with an optimal W/Fe molar ratio of 0.08:1 and a 1.51 wt% Pt loading exhibited a high specific reaction rate of 68.3 μmol gPt-1 s-1 and excellent stability during 24 h continuous test, outperforming most existing HCHO oxidation catalysts. Our study highlights the importance of functional oxygen defects in construction of synergistic active sites for promoting the reactions requiring multiple active species.

Abstract
Increasing demand for sustainable and clean energy is calling for the next-generation energy conversion and storage technologies such as fuel cells, water electrolyzers, CO2 /N2 reduction electrolyzers, metal-air batteries, etc. All these electrochemical processes involve oxygen electrocatalysis. Boosting the intrinsic activity and the active-site density through rational design of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and metal-organic gels (MOGs) as precursors represents a new approach toward improving oxygen electrocatalysis efficiency. MOFs/MOGs afford a broad selection of combinations between metal nodes and organic linkers and are known to produce electrocatalysts with high surface areas, variable porosity, and excellent activity after pyrolysis. Some recent studies on MOFs/MOGs for oxygen electrocatalysis and their new perspectives in synthesis, characterization, and performance are discussed. New insights on the structural and compositional design in MOF/MOG-derived oxygen electrocatalysts are summarized. Critical challenges and future research directions are also outlined.

Abstract
Single-atom catalysts (SACs) have received tremendous attention due to their extraordinary catalytic performances. The synthesis of this kind of catalysts is highly desired and challenging. In the last few years, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have been demonstrated as a promising precursor for fabricating SACs.

First, the synthetic approaches based on MOFs and accessible characterization techniques for SACs as well as their advantages/disadvantages are discussed. Then, the electrochemical applications of these MOF-derived SACs including the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), oxygen evolution reaction (OER), hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), CO2 reduction reaction (CO2 RR), nitrogen reduction reaction (NRR), and other energy-related reactions are reviewed. Finally, insights into the current challenges and future prospects of this field are briefly presented.

Abstract
Rechargeable zinc-air batteries constitute promising next-generation energy storage devices due to their intrinsic safety, low cost, and feasibility to realize high cycling current density and long cycling lifespan. Nevertheless, their cathodic reactions involving oxygen reduction and oxygen evolution are highly sluggish in kinetics, requiring high-performance noble-metal-free bifunctional electrocatalysts that exceed the current noble-metal-based benchmarks. Herein, a noble-metal-free bifunctional electrocatalyst is fabricated, which demonstrates ultrahigh bifunctional activity and renders excellent performance in rechargeable zinc-air batteries. Concretely, atomic Co-N-C and NiFe layered double hydroxides (LDHs) are respectively selected as oxygen reduction and evolution active sites and are further rationally integrated to afford the resultant CoNC@LDH composite electrocatalyst. The CoNC@LDH electrocatalyst exhibits remarkable bifunctional activity delivering an indicator ΔE of 0.63 V, far exceeding the noble-metal-based Pt/C+Ir/C benchmark (ΔE = 0.77 V) and most reported electrocatalysts. Correspondingly, ultralong lifespan (over 3600 cycles at 10 mA cm-2 ) and excellent rate performances (cycling current density at 100 mA cm-2 ) are achieved in rechargeable zinc-air batteries. This work highlights the current advances of bifunctional oxygen electrocatalysis and endows high-rate and long-cycling rechargeable zinc-air batteries for efficient sustainable energy storage.

Abstract
In this report, a novel flower like-structured CuFe oxides was directly grown on graphene nanosheets supported nickel foam substrates (CuFe-O/GR/NF) via a hydrothermal method followed by an additionally pyrolysis process. The different morphologies consistent with varied synthesis conditions, along with their catalytic activity were discussed. The CuFe-O/GR/NF material was successfully applied as an electrocatalyst for sensing glucose with a wide linear concentration range of 0.0079 μM-21.504 μM, sensitivity of 0.368 mA μM-1 cm-2, and limit of detection of 0.0079 μM. Impressively, the CuFe-O/GR/NF showed much higher electrocatalytic activity, lower overpotential and greater stability as compared to that of mono Cu-O/GR/NF or Fe-O/GR/NF synthesized by the same method. The higher electrocatalytic activity was due to the high electron conductivity, large surface area of CuFe-O/GR/NF and the fast ion/electron transport in the electrode and at the electrolyte-electrode interface. This is important for further development of high performance electrocatalysts for sensor application.

Abstract
Potassium ion batteries (PIBs) with the prominent advantages of sufficient reserves and economical cost are attractive candidates of new rechargeable batteries for large-grid electrochemical energy storage systems (EESs). However, there are still some obstacles like large size of K+ to commercial PIBs applications. Therefore, rational structural design based on appropriate materials is essential to obtain practical PIBs anode with K+ accommodated and fast diffused. Nanostructural design has been considered as one of the effective strategies to solve these issues owing to unique physicochemical properties. Accordingly, quite a few recent anode materials with different dimensions in PIBs have been reported, mainly involving in carbon materials, metal-based chalcogenides (MCs), metal-based oxides (MOs), and alloying materials. Among these anodes, nanostructural carbon materials with shorter ionic transfer path are beneficial for decreasing the resistances of transportation. Besides, MCs, MOs, and alloying materials with nanostructures can effectively alleviate their stress changes. Herein, these materials are classified into 0D, 1D, 2D, and 3D. Particularly, the relationship between different dimensional structures and the corresponding electrochemical performances has been outlined. Meanwhile, some strategies are proposed to deal with the current disadvantages. Hope that the readers are enlightened from this review to carry out further experiments better.

Abstract
The simultaneous realization of confined growth and doping of transition metals within carbon hosts promises to deliver unusual bifunctional catalytic activity but still remains challenging due to the difficulty in achieving synchronous nucleation and diffusion of metallic ions in a single synthesis step. Herein, we present a simple synthesis strategy capable of concurrently realizing geometric confined growth and doping of transition metals within graphene hosts, demonstrated in Co,N-codoped graphene-confined FeNi nanoparticles (Co,N-GN-FeNi). The obtained Co,N-GN-FeNi can take full advantage of the hierarchy of interactions between the confined-grown FeNi nanoparticles (for high oxygen evolution reaction (OER) activity) and the Co,N-codoped graphene hosts (for high oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) activity). The overall structure is a rationally designed synergy that simultaneously realizes (i) adequate exposure of electroactive sites, (ii) effective protection against corrosion/aggregation of FeNi nanoparticles, and (iii) rapid transport of ions/electrons between the interfaces. As a result, Co,N-GN-FeNi exhibits excellent bifunctional electrocatalytic activity relying on a low ORR/OER subtraction (ΔE = 0.81 V). Subsequent combination with a planar electrode configuration and a solid polymer electrolyte further demonstrates the utilization of Co,N-GN-FeNi as air cathode bifunctional electrocatalysts in a solid-state rechargeable micro-Zn-air battery (SR-MZAB), which exhibits a large open-circuit voltage of 1.39 V, a high power density/specific capacity of 62.3 mW cm-2/763 mAh g-1, excellent durability (126 cycles/42 h), and mechanical flexibility. This work demonstrates an effective synthesis strategy for concurrently realizing geometric confined growth and doping of transition metals within carbon hosts, for enhanced bifunctional catalytic activity toward novel SR-MZABs with high energy efficiency, security, and flexibility for wearable micropower sources.

Abstract
Flexible solid-state Zn-air batteries have been rapidly developed benefiting from the uprising demand for wearable electronic devices, wherein the air electrode integrated with efficient bifunctional oxygen electrocatalysts plays an important role to achieve high performance. Binder-free self-supported bifunctional catalysts can provide large active surface area, fast electron transport path, easy ion diffusion, and excellent structural stability and flexibility, thus acting as promising flexible air cathodes. In this review, recent advances on the application of nanoarrayed electrocatalysts as air cathodes in flexible Zn-air batteries are reviewed. Especially, various types of bifunctional oxygen electrocatalysts, including carbonaceous material arrays, transition metal compound arrays, transition metal/carbon arrays, transition metal compound/carbon arrays, and other hybrid arrays, are discussed. The applications of flexible Zn-air batteries with two configurations (i.e., planar stacks and cable fibers) are also introduced. Finally, perspectives on the optimization of arrayed air cathodes for future development to achieve high-performance flexible Zn-air batteries are shared.

Abstract
Exploring inexpensive and earth-abundant transition metal-nitrogen-based carbon (MNC) catalysts to substitute the scarce and costly Pt-based electrocatalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is quite anticipated in metal-air batteries (MABs). Here, we demonstrate a facile vacuum-annealing method to synthesize Cu nanoclusters/FeN4 amorphous composites embedded in N-doped graphene (Cu/Fe-NG). This approach avoids the long-term pyrolysis procedure and the use of an inert atmosphere in the conventional procedure for fabricating MNC catalysts. Interestingly, we discovered that the amorphous structure of Cu/FeN4 composites can provide high-activity bimetallic M-Nx sites (M = Cu, Fe), because of which the Cu/FeN4 composites exhibit boosted electrocatalytic activity with a positive half-wave potential of 0.88 V (vs RHE), long-term durability, and low hydrogen peroxide for the ORR. The origin of this enhancement was assigned to the concomitance of Fe-N4 and Cu-Nx moieties in Cu/Fe-NG, favoring adsorption and activation of the O2 molecule as suggested by X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) analyses and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Moreover, examinations of Cu/Fe-NG in both liquid and quasi-solid-state Zn-air batteries (ZABs) can exhibit remarkable performances. This work may offer facile fabrication of enhanced performance MNC catalysts as well as a profound insight into the use of amorphous materials in the ORR and ZABs.
