Ultrafine cobalt nitride nanoparticles supported on carbon nanotubes as efficient electrocatalyst for rechargeable zinc–air batteries†
Abstract
Ultrafine (5 nm) cobalt nitride nanoparticles supported on carbon nanotubes (CoN/CNT) are reported as air electrodes for rechargeable zinc–air batteries (ZABs). CoN/CNT exhibits 2.4 fold higher battery performance than commercial Pt/C-IrO2.
