Zn-air batteries (ZABs) have developed rapidly as novel energy storage devices to replace metal-ion batteries. However, the kinetics of the air-cathode is slow, and thus it is necessary to develop highly efficient and stable bifunctional catalysts. Generally, self-supporting electrodes can avoid the...
