Abstract
During the development of Zn-air batteries, designing an affordable, efficient and stable electrocatalyst for both oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) presents a great challenge. Fe2O3 exhibits ORR and OER activities, but when used as a cathode material in Zn-air batteries, its activity requires further improvement. To achieve this goal, Ni is doped into Fe2O3 hexagonal nanorods, derived from a metal-organic framework (MOF) precursor, and further modified by N-doped carbon nanotubes. In ORR, its half-wave potential achieves 0.946 and 0.716 V in alkaline and neutral electrolytes, respectively. In OER, it requires 388 mV to obtain 10 mA cm-2 in an alkaline electrolyte. As illustrated by theoretical calculation, Ni-doping raises the d-band center of Fe2O3, which enhances its adsorption towards relevant oxygen species in electrocatalysis. This improves its ORR and OER activities. Based on these merits, the Zn-air battery is assembled with an alkaline electrolyte. At 10 mA cm-2, its specific capacity and energy density reach 819.8 mA h g-1 and 960.1 W h kg-1, respectively. This battery remains stable after a long time of charge and discharge. In neutral electrolytes, its promising discharge performance is also well retained. This work develops an effective approach to improve ORR and OER activities of Fe2O3-based cathode materials in Zn-air batteries.

Abstract
Benefiting from its high theoretical capacity, tin disulfide (SnS2) draws abundant interest and attention for its promising practical prospect for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). However, the huge volumetric variation in sodiation/desodiation reactions usually results in the fast decay of rate and cycling properties, which seriously obstructs its future applicable foregrounds. Herein, heterostructured Mn-Sn bimetallic sulfide nanocubes confined in N and S-codoped carbon (MSS@NSC) were rationally designed via a facile coprecipitation followed by a sulfurization strategy. When used as anodes for SIBs, the heterojunctions at the interfaces effectively accelerate the Na+ diffusion rate to promote the sodium-storage reaction kinetics. The N and S-codoped carbon provides a rapid conductive framework for the fast charge transport during the sodium-storage process. Moreover, the beneficial confinement effect of the NSC layer effectively guarantees a superb cycle property for the MSS@NSC anode. The favorable synergistic effects between the highly conductive framework of the NSC and MSS heterostructure endow the MSS@NSC anode with satisfactory electrochemical Na-storage properties.

Abstract
Developing highly efficient and non-precious materials for Zn-air batteries (ZABs) and supercapacitors (SCs) are still crucial and challenging. Herein, electronic reconfiguration and introducing conductive carbon-based materials are simultaneously conducted to enhance the ZABs and SCs performance of Co2P. We develop a simple and efficient electrospinning technology followed by carbonization process to synthesize embedding Co2P nanoparticles in Cu doping carbon nanofibers (Cu-Co2P/CNFs). As a result, the 7% Cu-Co2P/CNFs presents high oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) activity (half-wave potential of 0.792 V for ORR, an overpotential of 360 mV for OER). The ZABs exhibit a power density of 230 mW cm-2and excellent discharge-charge stability of 80 h. In addition, the 7% Cu-Co2P/CNFs show the specific capacitance of 558 F g-1at 1 A g-1. Moreover, the 7% Cu-Co2P/CNFs//CNFs asymmetric supercapacitor was assembled applying 7% Cu-Co2P/CNFs electrode and pure CNFs, which exhibits a high energy density (25.9 Wh kg-1), exceptional power density (217.5 kW kg-1) and excellent cycle stability (96.6% retention after 10 000 cycles). This work may provide an effective way to prepared Co2P based materials for ZABs and SCs applications.
