The research of highly efficient and large-capacity energy storage systems is the focus of the research community and the market. Lithium-oxygen (Li-O2) batteries have shown great potential as next generation secondary batteries since their energy density is comparable to that of gasoline. Herein, we report a three dimensional (3D) self-supporting Co-CoSe@NSeC/bioC cathode fabricated through growing cobalt based metal organic framework (ZIF-67) on biomass and subsequent high-temperature selenization. The as synthesized Co-CoSe@NSeC/bioC cathode, benefiting from the 3D porous structure, the active defects derived from the doping of N, Se heteroatoms in carbon skeleton, and the highly-active of Co/CoSe heterojunction, shows excellent oxygen reduction reaction/oxygen evolution reaction (ORR/OER) electrocatalytic activity. It delivers a high specific capacity of 9.1 mAh·cm−2 at a current density of 0.05 mA·cm−2 and maintains 78 stable cycles. The good performance of Co-CoSe@NSeC/bioC proves its potential as cathode for Li-O2 batteries. © 2022 Elsevier B.V.
