Low-temperature fuel cells can be as an ideal portable power, due to the high specific power and specific energy, low-temperature operation and environmentally friendly. It is considered to be a promising fuel cell. But owing to the high cost and low electrochemical stability of the traditional Pt/C catalyst, the commercialization of PEMFCs is hindered. Metal oxides, however, with high stability in the fuel cells work conditions, is beneficial to improve catalytic performance of catalysts due to strong interaction between metals and metal oxides, which might alert absorption properties of oxygen or fuel on the catalyst surface. In this paper, metal oxides as co-catalysts are employed to enhance the electrocatalytic activity and stability for fuel cell electrocatalysts. The latest research progress of niobium oxides, manganese oxides, titanium oxides, tungsten oxides and tin oxides in fuel cells is highlighted. Finally, the urgent existing main problems in this area are discussed and the future research trends are prospected.
