Advanced Science, EarlyView.We develop vacancy‐rich Co9S6.29 precatalysts formed via ultrafine MnS‐induced lattice distortion in mesoporous S‐doped N‐rich hollow carbon nanotubes (CM@SNHCTs). This CM@SNHCT precatalyst is reconstructed into catalytically‐active cathode phases that enable efficient oxygen reduction/evolution reactions (ORR/OER) through dynamic O‐vacancy formation ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.We report Mn‐deficient aerogels by inducing the first gelation of MnO2 nanosheets in solution using divalent metal ions as crosslinking agents, thereby inhibiting nanosheet restacking and enhancing surface utilization. Benefiting from abundant Mn vacancies and 3D porous structures, the A‐MnO2 cathode exhibits improved conductivity, fast reaction ...
