Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of electrochemistry and new energy, and in particular relates to a metal-free carbon-based electrocatalyst, a preparation method and an application. Background technique [0002] At present, the world's energy consumption is still dominated by mineral energy such as petroleum, coal, and natural gas. While destroying the ecological environment, it is also facing the severe problem of energy depletion. Energy conservation, emission reduction and energy transformation have become the only way for human sustainable development. It is becoming more and more urgent to seek efficient, green, sustainable and safe energy sources. Metal-air batteries are a new generation of green secondary batteries, which have the advantages of low cost, no pollution, high specific power, and high specific energy. They are rich in resources and can be recycled, so they have good development and application prospects. In metal-air batteries, ...
