The zinc air fuel cell is a promising energy storage cell because of its high specific energy, aqueous and nonflammable electrolyte, and zinc’s abundance. A functional zinc air fuel cell is composed of three parts: 1) zinc metal as the anode; 2) separator; and 3) an air electrode as the cathode. In this cell the cathode contains a gas diffusion layer and a catalyst layer. Since the oxygen reaction is sluggish, it is important to find a suitable catalyst that can accelerate this reaction. Currently, the catalysts used to facilitate both the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) are extremely expensive. Therefore, in order to commercialize this system alternatives such as metal oxides are of specific interest. In this research, we are interested in developing cost-effective, high electro-catalytic, and phase stable oxide catalyst which can enhance the OER and ORR. Furthermore, we are also focusing on the characterization and mechanism of both the zinc air fuel cell and catalyst
