Flexible zinc-air batteries(FZABs)are featured with safety and high theoretical capacity and become one of the ideal energy supply devices for flexible electronics.However,the lack of cost-effective electrocatalysts remains a major obstacle to their commercialization.Herein,we synthesized a porous dodecahedral nitrogen-doped carbon(NC)material with Co and Mn bimetallic co-embedding(CoxMni-x@NC)as a highly efficient oxygen reduction reaction(ORR)catalyst for ZABs.The incorporation of Mn effectively modulates the electronic structure of Co sites,which may lead to optimized energetics with oxygen-containing intermediates thereby significantly enhancing catalytic performance.Notably,the optimized Co4Mn1@NC catalyst exhibits superior E1/2(0.86 V)and jL(limiting current density,5.96 mA cm-2)compared to Pt/C and other recent reports.Moreover,aqueous ZAB using Co4Mn1@NC as a cathodic catalyst demonstrates a high peak power density of 163.9 mW cm-2 and maintains stable charging and discharging for over 650 h.Furthermore,FZAB based on Co4Mn1@NC can steadily operate within the temperature range of-10 to 40 ℃,demonstrating the potential for practical applications in complex climatic conditions.
