| 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 (NiCoO 2)-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. |
