摘要
The sluggish reaction kinetics at the oxygen cathode is one of the important issues hindering the commercialization of the metal-air batteries.Although the noble metal can be used as the high-efficiency electrocatalyst to solve the problems to some extent,the high cost and scarcity of these noble-metal catalysts have limited their application in electrocatalysis.In this review,we discussed the mecha-nisms of the ORR and OER,and proposed the principles for the bifunctional electrocatalysts firstly,and then the state-of-the-art bifunctional catalysts,including carbon-based materials and transition-metal-based materials.On the basis of that,the self-supporting 3D noble-metal-free bifunctional ORR/OER catalysts were also discussed.Finally,the perspectives for the bifunctional electrocatalysts were discussed.
