Abstract

Polyoxometalates (POMs) are polyatomic ions with closed three-dimensional frameworks. Their unique structure contains a large number of redox active sites, making them promising electrocatalysts for electrochemical energy conversion and storage applications. Thus, this paper presents an overview of the use of POMs as electrocatalysts for electrochemical energy conversion and storage devices, such as batteries, supercapacitors, fuel cells, or water electrolyzers. A discussion of the viability of these materials as alternatives to noble metal-based electrocatalysts is made. The current status of these materials to respond to the challenges of converting modern energy systems into more sustainable ones is also envisaged.
