Abstract

Abstract Zn–air battery (ZAB) is advocated as a more viable option in the new‐energy technology. However, the limited‐output capacity at a high current density impedes the driving range in power batteries substantially. Here, a novel heterojunction‐based graphdiyne (GDY) and Ag29Cu7 alloy quantum dots (Ag29Cu7 QDs/GDY) for constructing a high‐performance aqueous ZAB are fabricated. The as‐fabricated ZAB achieves discharge at up to 100 mA cm−2 (the highest value ever reported) along with a remarkable output specific capacity of 786.2 mAh g−1Zn, which is mainly benefitted from the binary‐synergistic effect toward a stable triple‐phase interface for air electrode induced by the Ag29Cu7 QDs and GDY in harsh base, together with the decreasing reaction energy barrier and polarization. The results outperform the superior reports discharging at low current and will bring breakthrough progress toward the practical applications of ZAB on large power supply facilities.
