Abstract:
      It is becoming one of the most important topics in the fuel cell field to develop doped/ modified carbon materials as non-precious-metal catalysts for oxygen reduction, which will effectively reduce the cost of fuel cell and promote the commercialization of the fuel cells. It has been demonstrated by a lot of researches that the microstructures, compositions and other superficial physicochemical properties can be improved and optimized through the doping modification of carbon materials, thus resulting in oxygen reduction catalysts with excellent catalytic activity, selectivity and stability. A considerable amount of researches have been done in the preparation methods, performance optimization and catalytic mechanism of this type of catalysts. In this paper, the latest research progresses in the doping modification of carbon materials, such as carbon nanotube, graphene, mesoporous carbons, macroporous carbons and carbon microspheres, were reviewed. Based on the results achieved, we proposed their application prospects as catalysts in fuel cell, as well as the developing trend of the doped carbon catalyst in the future.
