Improved Electrochemical Performance of Bifunctional Electrocatalysts Based on Prussian Blue Analogues for Zn-Air Batteries
Abstract:
Prussian Blue Analogues (PBAs) have emerged as promising materials for energy storage and conversion applications. In this study, we synthesized PBA derivatives doped with Mn, Co, Ni, Zn, and Cu, supported on nitrogen-doped carbon aerogels (NCA), and evaluated their potential as bifunctional electrocatalysts for rechargeable zinc-air batteries. Structural and morphological analyses revealed the homogeneous dispersion of metal species in the NCA framework, ensuring effective active site exposure. Electrochemical characterizations demonstrated that MnCoNiZnCuPBA@NCA exhibited superior oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) performance, as evidenced by its high current density, low overpotential, and excellent Tafel slope. Furthermore, MnCoNiZnCuPBA@NCA achieved the highest discharge capacity (601.80 mAh.g-1) and energy density (322.67 mWh.g-1) among the materials studied, along with remarkable cycling stability. These findings underscore the potential of MnCoNiZnCuPBA@NCA as an efficient and durable bifunctional electrocatalyst for next-generation zinc-air batteries.
