Efforts at Enhancing Bifunctional Electrocatalysis and Related Events for Rechargeable Zinc‐Air Batteries

Invited for this month's cover picture is the group of Prof. Dr. Kenneth I. Ozoemena at the University of the Witwatersrand and collaborators from Qatar University and Peking University. The Front Cover illustrates the significance of bifunctional electrocatalysis (ORR / OER) and zinc anode as the key drivers for the development of rechargeable zinc‐air batteries that promise to revolutionize electricity storage and applications (represented herein as electric vehicle charging point). Read the full text of the Review at 10.1002/celc.202100574. “This review discusses the bifunctional electrocatalysis toward ORR and OER and related events of highly efficient rechargeable Zinc‐Air batteries (RZABs) roots from the fundamental mechanism of Zn anode and cathode reactions to the electrolytes design (i.e., aqueous, non‐aqueous, solid‐state, and hybrid electrolytes) and the current challenges (i.e., dendrite growth, shape change, passivation, and H 2 evolution)…“ Learn more about the story behind the research featured on the front cover in this issue's Cover Profile.
