N, P doped carbon nanotubes confined WN-Ni Mott-Schottky heterogeneous electrocatalyst for water splitting and rechargeable zinc-air batteries

Rational design on highly active and durable noble metal free electrocatalyst is extraordinarily important for the industrializations of rechargeable zinc air batteries (ZABs) and water splitting. Herein, we report a novel tri-functional electrocatalyst, N,P co-doped carbon nanotubes confined WN-Ni Mott-Schottky heterostructured nanoparticles (WN-Ni@N,P-CNT) via one-pot pyrolysis. Attributed to the WN-Ni Mott-Schottky heterostructure, water...
