Conventional carbon materials have poor electrocatalytic performance due to few active sites. Herein, a rare-earth lanthanum (La) is introduced into the N-doped graphene oxide (NGO) to form the single-atom 2D La@NGO. We analyze the properties of La@NGO series and find that 7%La@NGO shows the most excellent oxygen reduction reaction performances with a half-wave potential up to 0.86 V, outstanding stability, and methanol tolerance in 0.1 M KOH, which are all superior to those of commercial Pt/C electrocatalyst. In addition, 7%La@NGO shows good bifunctional electrocatalytic behaviors with a low Delta E of 0.72 V. The rechargeable zinc-air battery assembled by 7%La@NGO possesses a high power density of 80.9 mW/cm(2), a large specific capacity of 640 mAh/g, a high rechargeable efficiency of 55.2%, as excellent cycling stability.
