ObjectiveTo summarize the developments of oxygen-generating materials as biomaterials and its applications in tissue engineering. MethodsThe recent literature on oxygen-generating materials as biomaterials was extensively reviewed, illustrating the properties and applications of oxygen-generating materials in tissue engineering. ResultsOxygen-generating materials as biomaterials have good biocompatibility and degradability. It supports the cell adhesion differentiation and growth. It is used for repairing liver, pancreas, myocardium, and so on. After modification, oxygen-generating materials can be extensively used in tissue engineering. ConclusionOxygen-generating materials is a good biomaterial, which has a great potential applications in tissue engineering.
