▎ 摘　　要

Controllable tailoring the microstructure of carbon based metal-free catalysts offers a promising avenue for boosting the bifunctional performance of oxygen electrode, but a big challenge owing to the sluggish kinetics of ORR and OER. Herein, a wet ball-milling induced defect assisted in-situ pyrolysis strategy is designed to fabricate N, S and P tri-doped graphene (NSP-Gra). The structural defect of graphene, generated by strong mechanical shear forces during ball-milling, is greatly advantageous for effective doping of the heteroatoms. The NSP-Gra shows a superior bifunctional catalytic activity toward ORR and low operating potential of 1.50 V at 10 mA cm(-2) for OER in 6.0 M KOH. Excitingly, the Zn-air battery equipped with NSP-Gra as cathode demonstrates a power density up to 225 mW cm(-2), and long charge-discharge cycling stability. The enhanced electrochemical performance of NSP-Gra can be ascribed to the fast charge transport capability and rich active sites introduced by multi-heteroatom dopants.
