Abstract:

In recent years，non-precious metal oxygen reduction catalysts have gained particular interest for low temperature fuel cells. This paper presents the research progress of non-precious metal oxygen reduction catalysts developed by Institute of Electrochemical and Energy Technology in Shanghai Jiao Tong University with focus on the effort to improve the activity and durability of the catalysts，to decrease cost of the catalysts，and to develop novel non-precious metal catalysts. The urgent problems and future research focuses for non-precious metal oxygen reduction catalysts are also proposed.
