One key step for advancing the widespread practical application of rechargeable metal-air batteries and water electrolysis fundamentally relies on the development of cost-effective multifunctional electrocata-lysts toward oxygen and hydrogen-involving reactions.The present work initiates a tofu-derived one-pot strategy for green,facile,and mass production of highly active and stable catalyst toward oxygen reduc-tion/evolution and hydrogen evolution reactions,through the preparation of Fe/Co cross-linked tofu gel and the subsequent pyrolysis.Despite the free use of additional N/P precursors or pore-forming agents,the as-prepared materials comprise highly dispersive FeCo-rich phosphides nanoparticles and porous N,P co-doped carbon network inherited from the tofu skeleton.The resultant catalysts exhibit remarkably enhanced trifunctional activities as compared to the Fe2P and Co2P counterparts,along with better long-term stabilities than the benchmark RuO2 and Pt/C catalysts.Accordingly,the as-assembled Zn-air battery delivers a large power density(174 mW cm-2)with excellent cycle stability(the gap of charge/discharge voltage@10 mA cm-2 increases by 0.01 V after 720 h of operation,vs.0.16 V of Pt/C-RuO2 based battery after 378 h).Furthermore,the as-constructed alkaline electrolyzer just requires a small voltage of 1.55 V@10 mA cm-2,which outperforms nearly all of those of biomass-derived electrocatalysts ever reported,and that of noble metal catalysts-based electrolyzers(1.72 V@10 mA cm-2 for Pt/C-RuO2),underscoring their bright future toward commercial applications in green energy conversion devices.
