Abstract: Anode catalyst is one of the main factors affecting the performance and cost of direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC). The development and research of anode catalyst were reviewed from three aspects of catalyst supports，composite catalysts and non-noble metal catalysts. The application of anode catalysts in the future was presented.
