Bio-catalyzed oxidation self-charging zinc-polymer batteries by Pan, Jun, Liu, Yanhong, Yang, Jian, Wu, Jiawen, Fan, Hong Jin

“…The heme acts as a catalyst that reduces the energy barrier of the autoxidation reaction by regulating the charge and spin state of O2. To realize self-charging, the adsorbed O2 molecules capture electrons of the reduced (discharged state) PANI, leading to the desorption of zinc ions and the oxidation of PANI to complete self-charging. …”
