The slow kinetics of oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) at cathode electrode of low temperature fuel cells (LTFCs) and the electro-catalysts are main factors impeding the commercialization of LTFCs. In recent years, worldwide researchers have maken much effort to improve the activity and durability of the cathode catalysts, to decrease cost of the catalysts, and to develop non-noble-metal electro-catalysts for LTFCs. In the present paper, research progress of catalyst support, noble-metal and alloyed catalysts, and non-noble-metal catalysts including metal-macrocyclic-compound, M-N/C catalysts and transitional-metal-chalcogenide for the oxygen electrode in LTFCs have been systematically reviewed in addition to a brief introduction of the reaction mechanism of ORR at cathode electrode of LTFCs. The urgent problems and future research focuses for each kind of catalysts have been proposed.
