Oxford and Hunan University’s Latest Innovation: A Triple-Metal Catalyst Boosts Zinc-Air Battery Performance, Offering High Energy Densities of 1084 Wh kg−1
Researchers from Hunan University, University College London, and the University of Oxford have discovered a novel metal-nitrogen-carbon catalyst for zinc-air batteries (ZABs). It performs better than noble metal catalysts, increasing the usefulness
