Electro-catalysts for oxygen reduction with low cost, high activity and high durability have been a focal point of research for fuel cells. Recently, the findings on the significant function of nitrogen-doped to the electrocatalytic performance of nano-carbons and their composites have received widespread great attention. It has pioneered a new space on the research of electrocatalytic materials for fuel cells. On this aspect, some breakthroughs have been obtained. The nitrogen-doped methods, the up-to-date research evolution on the use of non-Pt nitrogen-doped nano-carbons and their composites as electrocatalysts for oxygen reduction were reviewed. Factors that influence the electrocatalytic activities of above catalysts were discussed and theoretic explanations about nitrogen-doped were given. Finally, the prospects of application and development trends in this field were also brought forward.
