Abstract: Oneimportant research work on non-carbon support for fuel cell catalyst focuses onmetal oxides, which are low cost with abundant sources, due to their excellentstability, electrochemical corrosion resistance and the strong interactionbetween metal oxides and precious metal nano-particles. In this review, theresearch progress and application of several metal oxides as supports for fuelcell catalysts were introduced, and the advantages and disadvantages ofdifferent supports were analyzed. The research showed that heteroatom dopedmetal oxide and carbon composite with metal oxide as the catalyst support caneffectively improve the overall performance of the catalysts. Finally, theprospection of fuel cell catalyst support of metal oxides was proposed.
