Currently, it is critical but a tricky point to develop economical, high-efficiency, and durable non-precious metal electrocatalysts towards oxygen reduction and oxygen evolution reaction (ORR/OER) in rechargeable Zn-air batteries. Herein, N, Mn-codoped three-dimensional (3D) fluffy porous carbon nanostructures encapsulating FeCo/FeCoP alloyed nanoparticles (FeCo/FeCoP@NMn-CNS) are prepared by one-step pyrolysis of the metal precursors and polyinosinic acid. The optimized hybrid nanocomposite (obtained at 800 degrees C, named as FeCo/FeCoP@NMn-CNS-800) exhibits outstanding catalytic performance in the alkaline electrolyte with a half-wave potential (E-1/2) of 0.84 V for the ORR and an overpotential of 325 mV towards the OER at 10 mA cm(-2). Impressively, the FeCo/FeCoP@NMn-CNS-800-assem bled rechargeable Zn-air battery presents an open-circuit voltage of 1.522 V (vs. RHE), a peak power density of 135.0 mW cm(-2), and long-term durability by charge-discharge cycling for 200 h, surpassing commercial Pt/C + RuO2 based counterpart. This work affords valuable guidelines for exploring advanced bifunctional ORR and OER catalysts in rational construction of high-quality Zn-air batteries. (C) 2021 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
