TECHNOLOGY FOCUS - INORGANIC CHEMISTRY - Preferred Property: The carbon-comprising support has BET surface area of 500 m2/g or more. Preferred Composition: The carbon-comprising support comprises carbon black, graphene, graphite, activated carbon or carbon nanotubes. The loaded noble-metal-comprising particles comprise platinum and cobalt, nickel, chromium, copper, palladium, gold, ruthenium, scandium, yttrium, lanthanum, niobium or titanium. The molar ratio of metal comprised in the metal oxide precursor and/or carbon comprised in the carbon-comprising support in the initial mixture is 0.00005-0.01. The carbon content in the initial mixture is 1-30 wt.% and molar ratio of metal, originating from metal oxide precursor and comprised in the intermediate product, and the platinum comprised in the liquid medium is 0.05-0.8. The carbon supported catalyst comprises 2-25 wt.% niobium oxide, and in which mass ratio of niobium comprised in the carbon supported catalyst and platinum comprised in the carbon supported catalyst is 0.05-0.5, and 90% or more number of platinum comprising particles comprised in the carbon supported catalyst have diameter less than 20 nm. Preferred Process: The spray-drying is carried out in countercurrent mode with drying gas at 60-300 degrees C, and inert drying gas in residence time less than 3 minutes. The heat treatment is carried out in reducing atmosphere containing 5 vol.% or less hydrogen.    TECHNOLOGY FOCUS - ORGANIC CHEMISTRY - Preferred Composition: The metal oxide precursor comprises niobium, titanium, tantalum, molybdenum, vanadium, tungsten, cerium, zirconium, tin and/or silicon, and the metal oxide precursor is alcoholate or halide. The metal oxide precursor is alcoholate chosen from ethanolate, n-propanolate, isopropanolate, n-butanolate, isobutanolate and tert-butanolate, or metal oxide precursor is chloride. The organic solvent is alcohol, carboxylate ester, acetone or tetrahydrofuran. The initial mixture comprises 2-20 wt.% water.
