Abstract: The electrocatalytic oxygen evolution reaction is the key reaction in metal-air battery and electrocatalytic water splitting. It plays an important role on improving energy storage and conversion efficiency,which can utilize efficiently renewable clean energies,thus relieving the energy crisis and environmental pollution. In this review,the basic process of the electrocatalytic oxygen evolution reaction was first briefly introduced. Then the recent developments of non-precious metal catalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction were reviewed. These non-precious metal catalysts mainly consist of transition metal oxides,transition metal hydroxides and carbon materials. Their synthesis,the structure and the electrocatalytic properties for the oxygen evolution reaction were analyzed in details,and their developing directions were also analyzed briefly. In the end,it is suggested that the development of new synthesis technology and new catalysis materials,as well as the clarification of the oxygen evolution reaction mechanism will play a great role on developing high-performance non-precious metal catalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction.
