The oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), an important process in Zn-air batteries (ZABs), shows sluggish reaction kinetics, which significantly impairs the further improvement of battery performance. Thus, rationally designing cathodic catalysts for ZABs has drawn sufficient attention. We herein synthesize and characterize Fe/N/F-tridoped CNTs (FeNFCs) by annealing the postsynthesized trifluoroacetic anhydride-modified Fe-MIL-88B-NH₂ nanocrystals with melamine at high temperature in a N₂ atmosphere. Benefiting from the Fe/N/F element doping, high specific surface area, and CNT structure, the FeNFC800 catalyst prepared at 800 ℃ exhibits a preferable half-wave potential of 0.829 V vs. RHE. The Zn-air battery equipped with FeNFC800 shows a high open-circuit voltage of 1.47 V, a gratifying peak power density of 196 mW/cm², and extraordinary long-term stability, outperforming the benchmark 20% Pt/C.
