abstract = "The paper investigates the synthesis and characterization of potential catalysts for oxygen reduction (ORR) and evolution (OER) reactions utilizing Ce, Y, Yb and Co. Employing the ultrasonic spray pyrolysis (USP) synthesis method, multivalent oxides were successfully synthesized from metal salts precursors, exhibiting promising catalytic properties for ORR. The research outlines experiments: microwave synthesis, IrO2 deposition and various techniques and electrochemical analyses (XRD, SEM/EDS, CV, LSV, PEIS, C-DC), illustrating the performance of multivalent oxides for OER. Additionally, the study emphasizes the significance of rare earth elements (REEs) in advanced technology manufacturing and investigates the potential of coal fly ash (CFA) as a resource for REE extraction. The paper proposes innovative approaches for REE recovery from CFA waste, aligning with circular economy principles and sustainable resource management strategies. It underscores the importance of local extractive technologies to mitigate transportation costs and environmental impacts, thereby contributing to regional resource independence and environmental sustainability. This research aims to provide valuable insights into the development of efficient catalysts for ORR and OER, fostering the transition towards a more sustainable and prosperous future in energy storage and conversion technologies. The results demonstrate the superior catalytic activity of the synthesized multivalent oxides compared to conventional catalysts, highlighting their potential for practical applications in rechargeable metal-air batteries and fuel cells.",
