Non‐precious catalysts for oxygen reduction reactions in the air electrode play a vital role in reducing polarization during cycling and therefore enhancing the performance of metal‐air batteries which, among electrochemical energy‐storage devices, have the potential to offer the highest energy density, representing the most promising systems for portable (electronics), mobile (electrical vehicles), and stationary (micro‐grids) applications. Recent advancements in non‐precious catalysts for Li‐air and Zn‐air batteries are highlighted on page 816 by M. Liu, J. Cho, and co‐workers.
