description The development of non-precious metal catalysts with excellent bifunctional activities is significant for air–metal batteries. ABO<sub>3</sub>-type perovskite oxides can improve their catalytic activity and electronic conductivity by doping transition metal elements at B sites. Here, we develop a novel Sm<sub>0.5</sub>Sr<sub>0.5</sub>Co<sub>1−x</sub>Ni<sub>x</sub>O<sub>3−δ</sub> (SSCN) nanofiber-structured electrocatalyst. In 0.1 M KOH electrolyte solution, Sm<sub>0.5</sub>Sr<sub>0.5</sub>Co<sub>0.8</sub>Ni<sub>0.2</sub>O<sub>3−δ</sub> (SSCN82) with the optimal Co: Ni molar ratio exhibits good electrocatalytic activity for OER/ORR, affording a low onset potential of 1.39 V, a slight Tafel slope of 123.8 mV dec<sup>−1</sup>, and a current density of 6.01 mA cm<sup>−2</sup> at 1.8 V, and the ORR reaction process was four-electron reaction pathway. Combining the morphological characteristic of SSCN nanofibers with the synergistic effect of cobalt and nickel with a suitable molar ratio is beneficial to improving the catalytic activity of SSCN perovskite oxides. SSCN82 exhibits good bi-functional catalytic performance and electrochemical double-layer capacitance.
