Abstract
Introducing a second metal species into atomically dispersed metal-nitrogen-carbon (M-N-C) catalysts to construct diatomic sites (DASs) is an effective strategy to elevate their activities and stabilities. However, the common pyrolysis-based method usually leads to substantial uncertainty for the formation of DASs, and the precise identification of the resulting DASs is also rather difficult. In this regard, we developed a two-step specific-adsorption strategy (pyrolysis-free) and constructed a DAS catalyst featuring FeCo "molecular heterostructures" (FeCo-MHs). In order to rule out the possibility of the two apparently neighboring (in the electron microscopy image) Fe/Co atoms being dispersed respectively on the top/bottom surfaces of the carbon support and thus forming "false" MHs, we conducted in situ rotation (by 8°, far above the critical angle of 5.3°) and directly identified the individual FeCo-MHs. The formation of FeCo-MHs could modulate the magnetic moments of the metal centers and increase the ratio of low-spin Fe(II)-N4 moiety; thus the intrinsic activity could be optimized at the apex of the volcano-plot (a relationship as a function of magnetic moments of metal-phthalocyanine complexes and catalytic activities). The FeCo-MHs catalyst displays an exceptional ORR activity (E1/2 = 0.95 V) and could be used to construct high-performance cathodes for hydroxide exchange membrane fuel cells and zinc-air batteries.

Abstract
Rechargeable zinc-air batteries (ZABs) have gained a significant amount of attention as next-generation energy conversion and storage devices owing to their high energy density and environmental friendliness, as well as their safety and low cost. The performance of ZABs is dominated by oxygen electrocatalysis, which includes the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Therefore, it is crucial to develop effective bifunctional oxygen electrocatalysts that are both highly active and stable. Carbon-based materials are regarded as reliable candidates because of their superior electrical conductivity, low price, and high durability. In this Review, we briefly introduce the configuration of ZABs and the reaction mechanism of bifunctional ORR/OER catalysts. Then, the most recent developments in carbon-based bifunctional catalysts are summarized in terms of carbon-based metal composites, carbon-based metal oxide composites, and other carbon-based composites. In the final section, we go through the significant obstacles and potential future developments for carbon-based bifunctional oxygen catalysts for ZABs.

Abstract
The increase of electric vehicles (EVs), environmental concerns, energy preservation, battery selection, and characteristics have demonstrated the headway of EV development. It is known that the battery units require special considerations because of their nature of temperature sensitivity, aging effects, degradation, cost, and sustainability. Hence, EV advancement is currently concerned where batteries are the energy accumulating infers for EVs. This paper discusses recent trends and developments in battery deployment for EVs. Systematic reviews on explicit energy, state-of-charge, thermal efficiency, energy productivity, life cycle, battery size, market revenue, security, and commerciality are provided. The review includes battery-based energy storage advances and their development, characterizations, qualities of power transformation, and evaluation measures with advantages and burdens for EV applications. This study offers a guide for better battery selection based on exceptional performance proposed for traction applications (e.g., BEVs and HEVs), considering EV’s advancement subjected to sustainability issues, such as resource depletion and the release in the environment of ozone and carbon-damaging substances. This study also provides a case study on an aging assessment for the different types of batteries investigated. The case study targeted lithium-ion battery cells and how aging analysis can be influenced by factors such as ambient temperature, cell temperature, and charging and discharging currents. These parameters showed considerable impacts on life cycle numbers, as a capacity fading of 18.42%, between 25–65 °C was observed. Finally, future trends and demand of the lithium-ion batteries market could increase by 11% and 65%, between 2020–2025, for light-duty and heavy-duty EVs.

Abstract
Research on highly efficient nitrogen and sulfur co-doped carbon materials is crucial for the development of Fe-based non-noble metal electrocatalysts (NNMEs) as alternatives to platinum-group metal-based electrocatalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in fuel cells. In this work, complexes were derived from iron salt and biomass ligands, subsequently mixed with active carbon nanoparticles (NPs) and pyrolyzed at 800 °C to obtain the resulting electrocatalysts Fe/NSC (800) and Fe/NC (800). Through screening the synthetic parameters, it was found that the N and S co-decorated Fe-based electrocatalyst of Fe/NSC (800) displays better ORR performances in terms of the onset potential (Eonset) and the half-wave potential (E1/2) than those of the Fe-free electrocatalyst of NSC (800) and the N-doped electrocatalyst of Fe/NC (800). The improved ORR activity can be mainly ascribed to the FeN4 active sites, as well as the additional S-doping within the carbon matrixes. Additionally, Fe/NSC (800) displays good durability superior to that of 20 wt% Pt/C in 0.1 M KOH solution. This synthetic approach is beneficial for the synthesis of NNMEs with biomass ligands for boosting the ORR performances in an alkaline solution.
