Abstract: Rare earth is an important strategic resource, and the rare earth elements (REEs) are a class of 17 elements in the periodic table that include 15 lanthanides (atomic numbers from 57 to 71), scandium (atomic number 21), and yttrium (atomic number 39). Rare earth elements show excellent catalytic performance in many reactions in the field of catalysis due to their special 4f electron configuration, abundant electron structure and flexible coordination numbers. Among all kinds of rare earth catalytic materials, the rare earth oxide based composite catalysts show superior performance in electrocatalytic reactions due to its simple preparation process, versatile structural tunability. However, at present, the relationship between the electrocatalytic activity of rare earth oxides based composite catalyst and their electronic structures is still not clear, which hinders the understanding of REEs in electrocatalytic reactions. Therefore, in this review paper, we tried to summarize and highlight the applications of rare earth oxides based composites in electrocatalytic reactions based on the characteristics of their electronic structures.
