Fuel cell reactions invariably involve an oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) at the cathode, which is one of the main rate-decreasing steps on platinum (Pt)-catalysts in the water formation reaction and energy conversion efficiency in polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs). The Pt scarcity and cost have led to the development of alternative catalyst materials for fuel cell applications. This paper reviews ORR catalysts with regard to their classification, mechanism, activity and performances. From conventional Pt-based catalysts to non-noble metal or bio-inspired catalysts, we show how significant progresses were made in ORR catalysis.
