▎ 摘　　要

Identification of catalytic sites for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in carbon materials remains a great challenge. Here, we construct a pyridinic-N-dominated doped graphene with abundant vacancy defects. The optimized sample with an ultrahigh pore volume (3.43 cm(3) g(-1)) exhibits unprecedented ORR activity with a half-wave potential of 0.85 V in alkaline. For the first time, density functional theory results indicate that the quadri-pyridinic N-doped carbon site synergized with a vacancy defect is the active site, which presents the lowest overpotential of 0.28 V for ORR and 0.28 V for OER. The primary Zn-air batteries display a maximum power density of 115.2 mW cm(-2) and an energy density as high as 872.3 Wh kg(-1). The rechargeable Zn-air batteries illustrate a low discharge-charge overpotential and high stability (>78 h). This work provides new insight into the correlation between the N configuration synergized with a vacancy defect in electrocatalysis.
