Nonstoichiometric Oxides as Low-Cost and Highly-Efficient Oxygen Reduction/Evolution Catalysts for Low-Temperature Electrochemical Devices

The recent advances in the development of nonstoichiometric oxides, ranging from simple oxide, perovskite, layered perovskite, and pyrochlore, for oxygen reduction Reaction (ORR) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in metal-air batteries (MABs) and low-temperature fuel cells (LTFCs) are reviewed. Th...
