Novel single-atom catalyst boosts zinc-air battery to record power density

https://techxplore.com/news/2022-12-single-atom-catalyst-boosts-zinc-air-battery.html

"zirconium can replace platinum... improves charging and discharging performance... durable: after 130 hours retained 92% original current... have also oxygen atom as additional coordination leads to further interaction with electronic structure of zirconium... stable, finely distributed metal clusters with high catalytic activity... isolated synthesized material on surface of quartz spheres... porous structure... aversion of zirconium to agglomeration... record-breaking power density among all zinc-air"
