Abstract

MnO@Co–N/C composites were fabricated with excellent bifunctional catalytic activity and outstanding performance for both liquid- and solid-state Zn–air batteries. The excellent electrocatalytic activities are attributed to the unique 1D nanowire structure with abundant Co–N_x active sites and a high specific surface area.
