Abstract
= 0.51 V) and bifunctional index value (BI = 0.95 V). Finally, the linear relationships between eight activity descriptors and the adsorption strength of reaction intermediates are used to analyze the influencing factors of the effective activity of the catalyst. The results reflect that the activity descriptors can well describe the change in adsorption strength of intermediates on the catalyst. Thus, this work provides a good idea for designing excellent bifunctional catalysts for rechargeable metal-air batteries.
