Abstract Rechargeable Zn-air battery has attracted widespread attention due to the high theoretical energy density, environmental friendliness and safety. However, the performance of Zn-air battery was limited by the slow kinetics of oxygen reduction reaction (ORR)/oxygen evolution reaction (OER) on the cathodic electrode. Therefore, it is important to develop efficient bifunctional catalysts. In this work, S-vacancy-rich Co/Co9S8 composites based on N, P co-doped carbon nanosheets (Co/Co9S8@N, P-C) was prepared by a simple one-step sintering method. X-ray diffractometer and transmission electron microscopy were used to analyze the crystalline structure and fine morphology. And the results show that Co/Co9S8 composites based on N, P co-doped carbon nanosheets were successfully prepared. The results of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and electron spin resonance showed that Co/Co9S8 nanocomposites with S-vacancy-rich were synthesized. The results of electrochemical testing indicate that the nanocomposites exhibit excellent ORR and OER bifunctional catalytic activity (ΔE=0.73 V). Compared with Zn-air battery prepared based on Pt/C+Ir/C catalyst as cathode, Zn-air battery prepared with S-vacancy-rich containing Co/Co9S8@N, P-C as cathode catalysts have 1.48 V open-circuit voltage (Pt/C+Ir/C:1.46 V), the power density of 80 mW·cm-2 (Pt/C+Ir/C:87.3 mW·cm-2) and 170 h cycle stability (Pt/C+Ir/C:146 h). This work provides a new idea for rational design of non-noble metal bifunctional catalysts for Zn-air battery.
