Problems solved by technology

However, due to the large surface energy of atoms in single-atom catalysts, they tend to aggregate to form nanoparticles, which hinders the activity of single-atom catalysts.
Various methods have been used to limit the aggregation of single atoms, but these preparation methods are usually cumbersome and costly

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of electrochemistry, and in particular relates to a carbon-supported bimetallic single-atom electrocatalyst and its preparation and application in metal-air batteries. Background technique [0002] Metal-air batteries, such as zinc-air batteries, as a new type of energy conversion device, have good application prospects due to their environmental friendliness and high energy conversion efficiency. However, their key cathodic reactions—oxygen evolution reaction (OER reaction) and oxygen reduction reaction (ORR reaction)—need rare noble metals as catalysts due to the slow kinetic process, and precious metals are scarce and expensive on earth, which limits industrial application of metal-air batteries. Therefore, it is very important to develop a low-cost, stable and efficient air cathode electrocatalyst. [0003] At present, there are many studies on the use of non-noble metal catalysts to replace noble metal catalyst...
