The　recent　research　progress　in　non-carbon　materials　supports,　such　as　carbide,　oxide,　composite　oxide　and　sub-stoichiometric　titanium　oxide,　is　reviewed.　Their　characteristics　and　preparation　methods　are　described　briefly.　The　emphasis　focuses　on　the　catalytic　activity　and　stability　of　Pt　based　catalysts　supported　on　the　materials.　Comparison　has　been　drawn　between　non-carbon　supported　and　commercial　carbon　supported　catalyst　(Pt/C).　Finally,　the　defects　of　non-carbon　materials　are　summarized　and　outlook　for　the　future　development　of　this　kind　of　support　materials　and　further　investigation　of　mechanism　are　provided　in　light　of　the　current　research　status,　regarding　the　preparation　of　materials　with　high　specific　surface　area,　high　conductivity　and　superior　stability,　as　well　as　mechanism　of　strong　metal　support　interaction.
