Herein, a bifunctional oxygen electrode composed of spinel Co₂FeO₄/(Co0.72Fe0.28)Td(Co1.28Fe0.72)OctO₄ nanoparticles grown on N‐doped carbon nanotubes (NCNTs) is designed, which exhibits superior performance to state‐of‐the‐art noble metal catalysts. Theoretical calculations and magnetic measurements reveal that the introduction of Fe3+ ions into the Co₃O₄ network causes delocalization of the Co 3d electrons and spin‐state transition. Fe3+ ions can effectively activate adjacent Co3+ ions under the action of both spin and charge effect, resulting in the enhanced intrinsic oxygen catalytic activity of the hybrid spinel Co₂FeO₄. This work provides not only a promising bifunctional electrode for zinc–air batteries, but also offers a new insight to understand the Co‐Fe spinel oxides for oxygen electrocatalysis.]]> Wed 19 Aug 2020 15:05:43 AEST ]]> Social-economic status and cognitive performance among Chinese aged 50 years and older https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:29597 Wed 13 Mar 2024 18:28:20 AEDT ]]> Removal of aqueous lead ions by iron ore tailings/straw biochar composite and its underlying sorption mechanism https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:54785 Tue 12 Mar 2024 12:35:11 AEDT ]]> Iron-modified biochar derived from sugarcane bagasse for adequate removal of aqueous imidacloprid: sorption mechanism study https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:47297 Thu 27 Jul 2023 11:25:51 AEST ]]>
