Rare earth-based nanomaterials hold great promise for applications in the electrocatalysis field owing to their unique 4f electronic structure, adjustable coordination modes, and high oxophilicity. As a cocatalyst, location of rare earth elements can alter intrinsic properties support, including environments, structure evolution under applied potentials variable manner, potentially impact catalytic performance with respect activity, stability, selectivity. Therefore, comprehensive understanding effects elements' on local reaction mechanisms is prerequisite designing advanced nanomaterials. In this review, have been categorized into three main groups based upon namely lattice, surface, interface structure. We initially discuss recent advances representing breakthroughs realize controllable synthesis Next, we state-of-the-art modulation strategy employed enhance performance. Combined characterizations, role process also discussed. Finally, further highlight future research directions remaining challenges development practical applications.
