Herein, we prepared Zn single-atoms supported on graphene oxide (Zn SAs@GO) as controlled-release catalysts for effective rubber vulcanization, which can improve the crosslinking density and mechanical properties of rubber by reducing Zn dosage compared to commercial ZnO by 82.5%.

Herein, a cationic surfactant of polyquaternium-7 (PQ-7) is employed as a multifunctional electrolyte additive to address the issues.
