Cheap and efficient non‐precious metal catalysts for oxygen reduction have been a focus of research in the field of low‐temperature fuel cells. This review is devoted to a brief summary of the recent work on a new type of catalysts, i.e., the graphene layer encapsulated metal nanoparticles. The discussion is focused on the synthesis, structure, mechanism, performance, and further research. © 2016 Curtin University of Technology and John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
