Abstract
Abstract As potential candidates to be employed as air anodes in metal-air batteries, transition metal phosphides (TMPs) have received considerable attention due to its excellent electrocatalytic activity. This work presents a straightforward method for efficiently fabricating CoPO-Co 2 P@NPC, a three-dimensional (3D) reticulated carbon N, P-doped carbon structure generated from polyaniline-phytic acid polymer, with Co 2 P and Co 3 (PO 4 ) 2 nanoparticles implanted on the carbon matrix. The CoPO-Co 2 P@NPC demonstrates impressive bifunctional oxygen reduction reactions (ORR)/oxygen evolution reactions (OER) performances. A diffusion-limiting current density of 6.56 mA cm − 2 , a half-wave potential of 0.80 V, and an overpotential of 1.73 V are detected at 10 mA cm − 2 . The rechargeable ZAB that has been assembled demonstrates a high-power density of 265 mW cm − 2 , with excellent cycling stability over 450 hours. The composite based on Co 2 P-Co 3 (PO 4 ) 2 demonstrates outstanding bifunctional electrocatalytic performance, which makes it a desirable anode material for rechargeable Zn-Air batteries.
