Abstract:
The present invention generally relates to a field of advanced energy storage systems. Specifically, the present invention relates to a development of a synergistic F- doped catalyst and quasi-solid state electrolyte membrane for flexible and rechargeable zinc-air batteries. More particularly, the present invention relates to a  bifunctional electrocatalyst including f-doped cubic nickel cobalt oxide (NiCoO2)-heteroatom doped mesoporous carbon composite and anion conducting polymer  electrolyte membrane for zinc air battery application. Further, the resultant bifunctional electrocatalyst and quasi-solid state electrolyte membrane exhibit an enhanced  bifunctional activity and significantly enhance the oxygen evolution reaction and/or hydrogen evolution reaction. In addition, considering the increasing interest in  flexible electronics developing reliable anion exchange membranes for ZABs with ionic conductivity matching liquid electrolytes is also essential.
