Book Chapter Description

The increase in worldwide ultimatum for renewable energy combined with lessening of crude oils and unfavorable ecological impression ensures encouraged and passionate research on sustainable energy conversion and storage devices. With the rapid development of flexible and wearable optoelectronic devices, superior reliability and ultra-long cycling lives of energy storage devices are of great importance. Since metal-air batteries were predicted to have high energy capacities, Zn-air batteries have received serious research and tend to be one of the encouraged devices for energy storage. The utmost important task associated with rechargeable Zn-air battery is high potential because of lethargic oxygen reactions at air cathode. Metal-organic framework (MOF)-derived electrocatalysts have proved amazing competences for aiding oxygen reactions. Herein, we will summarize the recent development in state-of-the-art MOF-derived oxygen catalysts for Zn-air batteries: (1) improvement of MOF-derived catalysts, (2) transition metal-nitrogen-carbon (M-N-C) catalysts, and (3) metal-free carbon-based catalysts. Further, the recent advances in MOF-based catalysts to optimize the activity and electronic transportation are revealed. Lastly, some perspectives for developing advanced MOF-derived catalysts applied in Zn-air batteries and the main challenges are provided.
