The invention provides a preparation method and application of a fuel
cell catalyst, and belongs to the technical field of catalysts. Comprising the following steps: S1, sequentially adding a
platinum precursor solution, a first
solvent and a second
solvent, magnetically stirring until the mixture reaches a clear state, and standing and aging at normal temperature to obtain
sol-gel; s2, the obtained
sol-gel is placed in a
muffle furnace for heat treatment, then the
sol-gel is naturally cooled to the
room temperature, and calcined
powder is taken out, ground, cleaned and dried; s3, taking the
powder and a carbon carrier, adding a third
solvent and a dispersing aid, carrying out emulsification shearing dispersion under an ice-water bath condition, and then filtering and
drying; and S4, placing the cleaned
powder in a tubular furnace, introducing a
reducing atmosphere, carrying out heating reduction, cooling to
room temperature, taking out the powder, cleaning, and
drying to obtain the supported hollow-structure Pt catalyst powder. The preparation process is simple and easy to operate, low in equipment cost and maintenance cost, environment-friendly and easy to realize industrial continuous
mass production.
