The invention relates to a low-load Pt / C catalyst
hydrogen diffusion anode and a preparation method and application thereof. The preparation method comprises the steps that
nano carbon is used as a carrier, alkali is used for
etching the carbon carrier, then
sodium gluconate is used as a complexing agent,
chloroplatinic acid is used as a
platinum source, and a dipping-thermal reduction method is used for preparing a catalyst. The catalyst carrier has high micropore capacity and is beneficial to dispersion of
platinum catalyst particles, so that the catalyst still has high catalytic activity under low
platinum loading capacity, and the cost of the
platinum catalyst can be obviously reduced. When the catalyst is used for preparing a
hydrogen diffusion anode and the
electrode is used for
zinc electrodeposition, the
hydrogen diffusion anode has the characteristics of low
cell voltage and low unit consumption of
electric energy, and compared with an existing
metal anode
zinc electrodeposition method, the unit consumption of the
electric energy of
zinc can be reduced by 60.1%. Compared with an existing
gas diffusion electrode zinc electrodeposition technology, under the condition that the platinum loading capacity of the catalyst is reduced, the
cell voltage is reduced by 0.31 V, and the unit consumption of the
electric energy is also reduced by 70.64 kW * h / t.
