Background
Metal-air batteries are a new type of battery, which uses active metals, such as lithium, zinc, magnesium, aluminum, etc., as the negative electrode, and oxygen as the positive electrode, wherein the oxygen is obtained from the air through the positive electrode porous material. The conversion between chemical energy and electrochemical energy is achieved by oxygen reduction and oxygen evolution reactions. Among all the different kinds of metal-air batteries, zinc-air batteries are receiving wide attention due to the cheap and easy availability of zinc and the high energy density of 1218Wh/kg, and are one of the most promising next-generation battery technologies with commercial prospects. However, as the most important component of the zinc-air battery, the oxygen reduction and oxygen evolution reaction of the air electrode portion generally has problems of overpotential excess and activity decay after many cycles due to its slow reaction kinetics. Although the noble metals platinum and iridium have good catalytic activity and stability and can solve the above problems to some extent, due to their high cost, it is a great challenge in the field to find alternative non-noble metal catalysts with high activity and high stability.
In the prior art, no public report is found about the cobalt cluster material loaded by the carbon pore channel doped with nitrogen and containing defects. Although nitrogen-doped porous carbon materials have been reported, for example, CN102247869A discloses a spherical nitrogen-doped carbon-supported non-noble metal oxygen reduction catalyst and a preparation method thereof; CN101884932A discloses a nitrogen-doped carbon nanofiber oxygen reduction catalyst and a preparation method and application thereof; CN104689857A discloses a preparation method of a nitrogen-doped porous carbon material, a catalyst containing the material and application; CN107359320A discloses nitrogen-doped porous carbon/MoS2A sodium ion battery cathode and a preparation method thereof; CN103265008B discloses nitrogen-doped porous carbon and a preparation method thereof.

There are differences in the synthetic methods. 4. Is clearly different from other materials used in zinc-air batteries.
The material is a nitrogen-doped and defect-containing carbon pore channel-loaded cobalt cluster material and application of a zinc-air battery containing the material.
