摘要：The catalytic effect of electrode materials is one of the most crucial factors for achieving efficient electrochemical energy conversion and ***-based metal composites were widely synthesized and employed as electrode materials because of their inherited outstanding ***,electrode materials can provide a higher capacity than the anticipated values,even beyond the theoretical *** origin of the extra capacity has not yet been explained accurately,and its formation mechanism is still ***,we first summarized the current research progress and drawbacks in energy storage devices(ESDs),and elaborated the role of catalytic effect in enhancing the performance of ESDs as follows:promoting the evolution of the solid electrolyte interphase(SEI),accelerating the reversible conversion of discharge/charge products,and improving the conversion speed of the intermediate and the utilization rate of the active materials,thereby avoiding the shuttling ***,a particular focus was placed on the interaction between the catalytic effect and energy storage performance in order to highlight the efficacy and role of the catalytic *** hope that this review could provide innovative ideas for designing the electrode materials with an efficient catalytic effect for ESDs to promote the development of this research field.
