Abstract

In this work, electrospinning N-doped carbon nanofibers containing iron carbide (Fe3C@N-CFs) are synthesized and employed as the cathode in the flexible Al–air battery. Benefiting from the excellent catalytic activity of the iron carbide which is uniformly encapsulated in the N-doped carbon matrix, as well as the large specific surface area of the cross-linked network nanostructure, the as-prepared Fe3C@N-CFs show outstanding catalytic activity and stability toward oxygen reduction reaction. The as-fabricated all-solid-state Al–air batteries with Fe3C@N-CF catalyst show a stable discharge voltage (1.61 V) for 8 h, giving a capacity of 1287.3 mA h g–1.
