Polydopamine-Derived Co3O4/N-Carbon Heterostructures Anchored with Gold Nanorods for High-Performance Plasmonic-Assisted Zinc-Air Batteries

This repository contains the complete experimental data, characterization datasets, and electrochemical performance profiles supporting the research on polydopamine-derived Co3O4/N-carbon heterostructures decorated with gold nanorods (PDA@Co3O4@AuNRs). This catalytic system was engineered to exploit the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) effects of gold nanorods under near-infrared (NIR) illumination, significantly boosting the oxygen evolution and reduction reactions (OER/ORR) for high-performance, plasmonic-assisted Zinc-Air Batteries (ZABs).
