Abstract: Fuel cells are considered to be new energy technologies with broad application prospects. Platinum nanoparticles loaded on carbon supports (Pt/C) are commonly used as electrode electrocatalysts for fuel cells, however, Pt based nanocatalysts are unstable in fuel cells and high cost, which severely restricting the scale application of fuel cells. Silicon carbide and boron carbide, which presents excellent physical and chemical stability due to strong covalent bonds, become stable and low cost materials for fuel cell catalysts. The progress of related research is reviewed in this paper, unique advantage of silicon carbide and boron carbide as electrocatalysts is provided, and development tendency is discussed.
