Abstract The design of the efficient, flexible air electrode for enhancing Zn‐air batteries (ZABs) performance is vital in developing a new portable rechargeable power supply. Emerging research indicates that non‐precious metal materials have promising activity oxygen reduction/evolution alkaline conditions while constructing high‐performance and reliable still big challenge at present stage.

Nitrogen-doped carbon (NC) materials have been proposed as next-generation oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) catalysts to significantly improve scalability and reduce costs, but these alternatives usually exhibit low activity and/or gradual deactivation during use. Here, we develop new 2D sandwich-like zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF) derived graphene-based nitrogen-doped porous carbon sheets...

Solvent-assisted linker exchange (SALE) has recently emerged as an attractive strategy for the synthesis of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) that are unobtainable via traditional synthetic pathways. Herein we present the first example of selective SALE in which only the benzimiadazolate-containing linkers in a series of mixed-linker zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIF-69, -78, and -76) are repl...
