Abstract
The Zinc-air battery (ZAB) has become a hot research topic for nearly a decade due to its high energy densities. As an important category of catalysts for ZAB, perovskites have attracted extensive interests because of their environmentally friendly properties, cheapness, and excellent electrocatalytic performances. This review article discusses the mechanistic analyses regarding the progress of perovskites for ZAB. In addition, electrode manipulation methods of perovskites for battery device are also emphasized. Finally, perspectives are given on the limitations of the current perovskite catalysts for ZABs. We hope that this review will provide new clues for promoting perovskites as catalysts for many energy-storage and conversion applications in the future.
