Abstrakt: The rechargeable alkaline aqueous zinc-air batteries (ZABs) are prospective candidates to supply the energy demand for their high theoretical energy density, inherent safety, and environmental friendliness. However, their practical application is mainly restricted by the unsatisfactory efficiency of the air electrode, leading to an intense search for high-efficient oxygen electrocatalysts. In recent years, the composites of carbon materials and transition metal chalcogenides (TMC/C) have emerged as promising alternatives because of the unique properties of these single compounds and the synergistic effect between them. In this sense, this review presented the electrochemical properties of these composites and their effects on the ZAB performance. The operational fundamentals of the ZABs were described. After elucidating the role of the carbon matrix in the hybrid material, the latest developments in the ZAB performance of the monometallic structure and spinel of TMC/C were detailed. In addition, we report topics on doping and heterostructure due to the large number of studies involving these specific defects. Finally, a critical conclusion and a brief overview sought to contribute to the advancement of TMC/C in the ZABs.
