Cover Story: Zinc–air batteries (ZABs), which are safer and more cost-effective power sources than commercial lithium-ion batteries, hinge on ORR and OER. The slow kinetics of the air electrode reduce its high theoretical energy density and specific capacity, which limits its practical applications. Thus, amplifying the performance of the electrocatalyst and cathode architecture is vital for improving the performance of ZABs, which calls for exploring spinel, a material that delivers improved performance. This study addresses the promising potential of spinel as a bifunctional electrocatalyst in ZABs based on an in-depth understanding of spinel structure and active sites at the atomic level.
