Abstract
Energy underlies the human development and welfare. Today energy depends on combustion of fossil fuels (coal,
natural gas, oil) sources. These sources have not only led to severe environmental issues because it emits
greenhouse gases, they are rapidly depleted due to their enormous consumption. For several years’ numerous
technologies have been developed to address the fossil fuel depletion and greenhouse gases emission from the
non-renewable in order to constantly supply energy to the people and industries. However, the challenge of being
able to store energy generated and utilize it later is a matter of importance when resolving energy problems
persists. New materials, particularly perovskites offer a great advantage to be utilized as a possible host or
carriers for energy applications. The impact of defect on the material properties and influence of defects as
material for energy application is described. The use of perovskites oxides for effective electrocatalysis in
hydrogen evolution reactions, photocataysis, photovoltaic solar cells, electrocatalysis, solid oxide fuel cells,
supercapacitors and metal-air batteries, are also included. This review covers the latest progress on perovskite
oxides as electrochemical energy materials.
