The great interest in rechargeable Zn–air batteries (ZABs) arouses extensive research on low‐cost, high‐active, and durable bifunctional electrocatalysts to boost the sluggish oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER). It remains a great challenge to simultaneously host hig...
