Progress in metal-free bifunctional catalyst made by Prof. Qiao Jinli’s research team

Date:2021-02-24

The research team of Professor Qiao Jinli from College of Environmental Science made important advances in the field of Large-scale defect-engineering tailored tri-doped graphene as a metal-free bifunctional catalyst for superior electrocatalytic oxygen reaction in rechargeable Zn-air battery. The related result was published on Applied Catalysis B: Environmental, under the title of “Large-scale defect-engineering tailored tri-doped graphene as a metal-free bifunctional catalyst for superior electrocatalytic oxygen reaction in rechargeable Zn-air battery”.The young teacher Wang Yongxia from College of College of Environmental Science is the first author.
