Abstract

We illustrate an all solid-state Zn−air battery by utilizing the ability of a titanium-nitride-functionalized molecular catalyst to mediate the oxygen reduction reaction by avoiding the parasitic corrosion chemistry and the hydroxide-holding capacity of the Zirfon membrane. The efficient ionic communication between the half-cell electrodes provided by the Zirfon membrane in combination with the chemical/electrochemical stability of the TiN-based air electrode ultimately led to an all solid-state and air-breathing battery possessing high durability and stability.
