Problems solved by technology

According to literature reports, direct growth of cobalt trioxide nanowires on stainless steel mesh collectors has excellent rechargeability and stability, but in practice zinc-air batteries use natural air to generate electricity is not high [AdvancedEnergyMaterials, 2014, 6, 1301389–1301395]
The electrochemical properties of nickel and nickel oxides have been widely studied, but mainly limited to the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) [Nature Communications, 2013, 249, 1805-1812,]
NiCo 2 o 4 / Graphene has also been studied for ORR and OER, but it has not been reported directly in the actual zinc-air battery [J.Mater.Chem.2013,1,4754–4762]
