Abstract

Metal single-atom materials with their high atom utilization efficiency and unique electronic structures usually show remarkable catalytic performances in many crucial chemical reactions. Herein, a facile and easily scalable "impregnation-carbonization-acidification" strategy for fabricating a class of single-atom-anchored (including cobalt and nickel single atoms) monolith as superior binder-free electrocatalysts for developing high-performance wearable Zn-air batteries is reported. The as-prepared single atoms, supported by N-doped carbon flake arrays grown on carbon nanofibers assembly (M SA@NCF/CNF), demonstrate the dual characteristics of excellent catalytic activity (reversible oxygen overpotential of…
