NOVELTY - A fuel cell catalyst comprises activated carbon support formed with a composition comprising transition metal and nitrogen. The catalyst comprises greater than or equal to1.6 (preferably greater than 2) wt.% transition metal.    USE - For fuel cells for use in producing fuel cell battery useful in producing electric power.    ADVANTAGE - The catalyst includes active non-noble metals yet provides satisfactory performance at reasonable cost. The catalyst provides current densities equivalent to those achieved by commercial platinum electrocatalysts but without the expense associated with the use of platinum. The use of the support provides an improved catalyst on the basis of providing a reduced diffusion barrier as compared to higher surface area and/or providing reduced resistance based on the possibility of using thinner layers of catalyst in the electrode.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - A fuel cell catalyst comprises activated carbon support formed with a composition comprising transition metal and nitrogen. The catalyst comprises greater than or equal to1.6 wt.% transition metal. The catalyst acts as generating ions of formula MNxCy.    M=transition metal, e.g. Au, Cu, Ag, Va, Cr, Mo, W, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Ru, C and/or Ce;    x=0.5-2;and    y=0.5-8.    INDEPENDENT CLAIMS are included for:    (1) a process for preparing a fuel cell catalyst comprising contacting carbon support with a source of transition metal and liquid medium comprising coordinating agent capable of forming coordination bond with the transition metal;    (2) a fuel cell comprising anode, cathode, and electrolyte between them, where the cathode comprises the fuel cell catalyst;    (3) a fuel cell battery comprising the fuel cells; and    (4) a process for producing electric power from the fuel cell comprising contacting the anode with fuel and contacting the cathode with oxygen.
