Abstract

Metal oxide hollow structures with large surface area, low density, and high loading capacity have received great attention for energy-related applications. Acting as oxygen-related catalysts, hollow-structured transition metal oxides offer low overpotential, fast reaction rate, and excellent stability. Herein, recent progress in the oxygen-related catalysis (e.g., oxygen evolution reaction (OER), oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), and metal-air batteries) of hollow-structured transition metal oxides is discussed. Through a comprehensive outline of hollow-structured spinels, perovskites, rutiles, etc., a rational design strategy is provided for an enhanced oxygen-related catalysis performance from the viewpoint of crystal structures. Urgent challenges and further research directions are presented for hollow-structured transition metal oxides toward excellent oxygen-related catalysis.
