Abstract
Carbon micro-/nanocages have attracted great attention owing to their wide potential applications. Herein, a self-templated strategy is presented for the synthesis of a hydrangea-like superstructure of open carbon cages through morphology-controlled thermal transformation of core@shell metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). Direct pyrolysis of core@shell zinc (Zn)@cobalt (Co)-MOFs produces well-defined open-wall nitrogen-doped carbon cages. By introducing guest iron (Fe) ions into the core@shell MOF precursor, the open carbon cages are self-assembled into a hydrangea-like 3D superstructure interconnected by carbon nanotubes, which are grown in situ on the Fe-Co alloy nanoparticles formed during the pyrolysis of Fe-introduced Zn@Co-MOFs. Taking advantage of such hierarchically porous superstructures with excellent accessibility, synergetic effects between the Fe and the Co, and the presence of catalytically active sites of both metal nanoparticles and metal-Nx species, this superstructure of open carbon cages exhibits efficient bifunctional catalysis for both oxygen evolution reaction and oxygen reduction reaction, achieving a great performance in Zn-air batteries.

Abstract
Single atom catalysts exhibit particularly high catalytic activities in contrast to regular nanomaterial-based catalysts. Until recently, research has been mostly focused on single atom catalysts, and it remains a great challenge to synthesize bimetallic dimer structures. Herein, we successfully prepare high-quality one-to-one A-B bimetallic dimer structures (Pt-Ru dimers) through an atomic layer deposition (ALD) process. The Pt-Ru dimers show much higher hydrogen evolution activity (more than 50 times) and excellent stability compared to commercial Pt/C catalysts. X-ray absorption spectroscopy indicates that the Pt-Ru dimers structure model contains one Pt-Ru bonding configuration. First principle calculations reveal that the Pt-Ru dimer generates a synergy effect by modulating the electronic structure, which results in the enhanced hydrogen evolution activity. This work paves the way for the rational design of bimetallic dimers with good activity and stability, which have a great potential to be applied in various catalytic reactions.

Abstract
The exploration of robust multifunctional electrocatalyst for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is a continuing challenge for the sustainable energy sources. However, as the key reactions in renewable metal-air batteries and fuel cells, the energy conversion efficiencies of ORR and OER are greatly affected by their reaction kinetics. In addition to designing excellent electrocatalysts, new methods to stabilize the electrolyte/electrode interfaces are urgently needed. Herein, a hierarchical Co(OH)F/CuCo2S4 hybrid was created as an efficient catalyst for OER and ORR in alkaline media. Combining spinel ferrite with the hydroxide can greatly boost their catalytic performance. The optimal Co(OH)F/CuCo2S4 hybrid exhibits superior OER performance and durable stability, as demonstrated by an ultralow overpotential of 230 mV at 10 mA·cm-2. The onset potential and the half-wave potential in 0.1 M KOH solution for ORR are 0.88 and 0.80 V, respectively. Furthermore, the Co(OH)F/CuCo2S4 hybrid served as a catalyst in Zn air batteries catalyst exhibits a low overpotential of 1.12 V at 50.0 mA·cm-2, large power density of 144 mW·cm-2, and a long electrochemical lifetime of 118 h (118 cycles), which is even better than those of the Pt/C and RuO2 catalysts. The rational integration of spinel and hydroxide at the interface can provide multifunctional electrocatalysis and possess a high reactivity for oxygen conversion. Synergistic coupling effect and interfacial electronic interaction between Co(OH)F and CuCo2S4 can significantly enhance the electron transfer rate, and these synergistic advantages enable the heterogeneous structure of the multifunctional electrocatalyst to produce excellent catalytic performance.

Abstract
Recently, zinc–air batteries (ZABs) have been receiving attention due to their theoretically high energy density, excellent safety, and the abundance of zinc resources. Typically, the performance of the zinc air batteries is determined by two catalytic reactions on the cathode—the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Therefore, intensive effort has been devoted to explore high performance electrocatalysts with desired morphology, size, and composition. Among them, single-atom catalysts (SACs) have emerged as attractive and unique systems because of their high electrocatalytic activity, good durability, and 100% active atom utilization. In this review, we mainly focus on the advance application of SACs in zinc air batteries in recent years. Firstly, SACs are briefly compared with catalysts in other scales (i.e., micro- and nano-materials). A main emphasis is then focused on synthesis and electrocatalytic activity as well as the underlying mechanisms for mono- and dual-metal-based SACs in zinc air batteries catalysis. Finally, a prospect is provided that is expected to guide the rational design and synthesis of SACs for zinc air batteries.

Abstract
Developing non-precious-metal bifunctional oxygen reduction and evolution reaction (ORR/OER) catalysts is a major task for promoting the reaction efficiency of Zn-air batteries. Co-based catalysts have been regarded as promising ORR and OER catalysts owing to the multivalence characteristic of cobalt element. Herein, the synthesis of Co nanoislands rooted on Co-N-C nanosheets supported by carbon felts (Co/Co-N-C) is reported. Co nanosheets rooted on the carbon felt derived from electrodeposition are applied as the self-template and cobalt source. The synergistic effect of metal Co islands with OER activity and Co-N-C nanosheets with superior ORR performance leads to good bifuctional catalytic performances. Wavelet transform extended X-ray absorption fine spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy certify the formation of Co (mainly Co0 ) and the Co-N-C (mainly Co2+ and Co3+ ) structure. As the air-cathode, the assembled aqueous Zn-air battery exhibits a small charge-discharge voltage gap (0.82 V@10 mA cm-2 ) and high power density of 132 mW cm-2 , outperforming the commercial Pt/C catalyst. Additionally, the cable flexible rechargeable Zn-air battery exhibits excellent bendable and durability. Density functional theory calculation is combined with operando X-ray absorption spectroscopy to further elucidate the active sites of oxygen reactions at the Co/Co-N-C cathode in Zn-air battery.

Abstract
Metal heteroatoms dispersed in nitrogen-doped graphene display promising catalytic activity for fuel cell reactions such as the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Here we explore the effects of the dopant concentration on the synergistic catalytic behavior of a paired metal atom active site comprising Co and Pt atoms that have been shown to be particularly active catalysts in these materials. The metals are coordinated to six atoms in a vacancy of N-doped graphene. We find that the HER activity is enhanced with increasing N concentration, where the free energy of hydrogen atom adsorption ranges from 0.23 to -0.42 eV as the doping changes from a single N atom doped in the pore to fully doped coordination sites. The results indicate that the effect of N is to make the metal atoms more active toward H adsorption, presenting a means through which transition metals can be modified to make more effective and sustainable fuel cell catalysts.
