Abstract

The invention discloses a monatomic air cathode, a battery, an electrochemical system and a bioelectrochemical system and particularly relates to a cathode. The cathode comprises a current collectionlayer and a catalyst layer, wherein the catalyst layer is arranged on the current collection layer and comprises an atomic-scale disperse metal catalyst. When the atomic-scale disperse metal catalystis used for catalyzing oxygen reduction reaction in the cathode, the catalyst has the advantages of high catalytic activity, high metal utilization rate and low cost; meanwhile, when the cathode is applied to the electrochemical system, the electron utilization rate can be increased, so that the electricity generation performance of the electrochemical system is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the fields of environment, material and energy. Specifically, it relates to single-atom air cathodes, batteries, electrochemical systems, and bioelectrochemical systems, and more particularly, to cathodes, batteries, and electrochemical systems. Background technique [0002] Environmental issues and energy issues are two major problems facing the development of contemporary society. Purifying sewage while taking into account energy recovery is a new challenge for sewage treatment technology. The bioelectrochemical system represented by microbial fuel cells is an emerging sewage treatment technology, which can convert the chemical energy in pollutants into electrical energy while treating sewage, and use the electricity-producing microorganisms attached to the anode to convert the chemical energy in sewage into electrical energy. The organic matter is oxidized while the cathode accepts electrons to complete the oxygen reduction...
