Research Progress in Non-carbon Materials Serving as Catalyst Support of Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cells
聚合物电解质膜燃料电池用电催化剂非碳载体的研究进展

The recent research progress in non-carbon materials supports, such as carbide, oxide, composite oxide and sub-stoichiometric titanium oxide, is reviewed. Their characteristics and preparation methods are described briefly. The emphasis focuses on the catalytic activity and stability of Pt based catalysts supported on the materials. Comparison has been drawn between non-carbon supported and commercial carbon supported catalyst (Pt/C). Finally, the defects of non-carbon materials are summarized and outlook for the future development of this kind of support materials and further investigation of mechanism are provided in light of the current research status, regarding the preparation of materials with high specific surface area, high conductivity and superior stability, as well as mechanism of strong metal support interaction.
