Abstract

The dearth of efficacious and economic bifunctional oxygen electrocatalysts has constituted a significant impediment to the actual implementation of high-performance metal-air batteries. Here, we construct an efficacious bifunctional oxygen electrocatalyst ZnFeNiCoCr high-entropy alloy (HEA) nanoparticles for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) using a facile sol–gel strategy. The synthesized ZnFeNiCoCr HEA exhibits excellent bifunctional properties due to the synergistic effect between the metal elements. The overpotential of 305 mV at 10 mA·cm−2 for OER and a half-wave potential of 0.864 V for ORR, which is excellent to that of commercial RuO2 and Pt/C. Consequently, ZnFeNiCoCr HEA is utilized as a cathode catalyst for zinc-air batteries. The specific capacity of a zinc-air battery based on this HEA is 743 mAh·g−1 and the battery undergoes a continuous charge/discharge cycle for over 400 h. The ZnFeNiCoCr HEA catalyst holds significant application potential in diverse electrochemical energy storage and conversion devices.

用于高效双功能氧电催化的ZnFeNiCoCr高熵合金
高效、经济的双功能氧电催化剂的缺乏严重阻碍了高性能金属-空气电池的实际应用。在此,我们采用简便的溶胶-凝胶策略,构建了一种高效的双功能氧电催化剂 ZnFeNiCoCr 高熵合金(HEA)纳米粒子,用于氧进化反应(OER)和氧还原反应(ORR)。由于金属元素之间的协同效应,合成的 ZnFeNiCoCr HEA 具有优异的双功能特性。在 10 mA-cm-2 条件下,OER 的过电位为 305 mV,ORR 的半波电位为 0.864 V,与商业化的 RuO2 和 Pt/C 相比表现优异。因此,ZnFeNiCoCr HEA 可用作锌-空气电池的阴极催化剂。基于这种 HEA 的锌-空气电池的比容量为 743 mAh-g-1,电池可连续充放电超过 400 小时。
