Abstract

Nowadays, fuel cells have attracted much attention because they produce almost no carbon dioxide and air pollutants, help reduce greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution, and mitigate climate change. Among them, seeking electrocatalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is a top priority. This article aims to introduce platinum group metals, transition metal compounds, and carbon-based non-noble metal electrocatalysts with novel nanostructures. At the same time, it summarizes the research progress of various electrocatalysts in recent years. The optimization strategies of catalytic processes are reviewed and their development prospects are prospected. In addition, problems existing in the research on oxygen reduction electrocatalysts are summarized. In the future, these contents can help researchers develop new catalysts and electrolyte materials, optimize manufacturing processes, enhance system integration, study fuel cells for portable and large-scale applications, explore hydrogen production and storage technologies, and integrate fuel cells with smart grids and distributed Integrated energy systems.
