Tailoring Se‐Mediated Co‐Co Dual‐Atom Sites for Oxygen and Iodide Electrocatalysis Toward High‐Efficiency and Ultradurable Zinc‐Air/Iodide Hybrid Batteries

Carbon Energy, EarlyView.
A Se‐mediated Co dual‐atom catalyst replaces sluggish oxygen evolution with efficient iodide oxidation in zinc‐air/iodide hybrid batteries. Se‐induced d‐p orbital hybridization optimizes adsorption, enabling a low 0.365 V voltage gap and superior durability, fundamentally overcoming conventional kinetic bottlenecks.
