💡 Novelty & Significance:
This work pioneers a long-range electronic regulation strategy using rare-earth oxide clusters to activate inert d10 Zn single-atom sites for ORR. The LaOx-Zn-SA/CNCl catalyst achieves a 0.90 V half-wave potential and 177.3 mW cm⁻² in zinc-air batteries, ranking among the best non-precious-metal electrocatalysts. It offers new insights into tailoring transition-metal single-atom microenvironments via rare-earth clusters for efficient electrocatalysis.
