The high efficiency of cathode catalyst used in the oxygen reduction reaction is a vital factor guaranteeing for the microbial fuel cells (MFCs). In this work, two novel nickel cobaltite@nanocarbon hybrids were rationally designed and successfully prepared as efficient cathode catalysts in air–catho...
