Abstract
Abstract The rapid development of flexible and wearable optoelectronic devices, demanding the superior, reliable, and ultra‐long cycling energy storage systems. But poor performances of electrode materials used in energy devices are main obstacles. Recently, single‐atom catalysts (SACs) are considered as emerging and potential candidates as electrode materials for battery devices. Herein, we have discussed the recent methods for the fabrication of SACs for rechargeable metal‐air batteries, metal‐CO 2 batteries, metal‐sulfur batteries, and other batteries, following the recent advances in assembling and performance of these batteries by using SACs as electrode materials. The role of SACs to solve the bottle‐neck problems of these energy storage devices and future perspectives are also discussed.
