Scrutinizing the redox activity of MOF-derived Fe–Se–C and P@Fe–Se–C species to improve overall water electrolysis and alkaline zinc–air batteries

. According to DFT, there was an important change in the electrocatalytic activity of P@Fe-Se-C and Fe-Se-C and the electronic structure, conductivity, and cycling stability of the catalyst over time. This study shows how creative material design can improve energy efficiency and provide multifunctionality.
