Abstract Development of high-performance catalysts is very crucial for the commercialization of sustainable energy conversion technologies. Efficient bifunctional catalysts for electrochemical oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) are highly desirable due to their wide applications in fuel cells and rechargeable metal air batteries. However, the development of nonprecious metal catalysts with comparable activities to noble metals is still challenging. As a potential alternative to such catalysts, this investigation addresses the facile synthesis of an efficient and durable NiC@CNT hybrid bifunctional electro-catalyst for ORR and OER compared to commercial Pt/C catalyst. Crucially, this approach is green, facile, catalyst-free, and especially can be operated under ambient environments. Our works may expand the scope of cost-effective electrocatalysts for oxygen reaction.
