Boosting the activity and stabilityviasynergistic catalysis of Co nanoparticles and MoC to construct a bifunctional electrocatalyst for high-performance and long-life rechargeable zinc–air batteries

and great cycling stability could be achieved while applying Co/MoC-NC in the cathode of ZABs (over 300 h). This work will provide a viable design concept for designing and synthesizing multifunctional catalysts to construct rechargeable ZABs.
