The invention belongs to the technical field of
fuel cells, and particularly relates to a
platinum-
cobalt alloy carbon catalyst for a
proton exchange membrane fuel
cell and a preparation method of the
platinum-
cobalt alloy carbon catalyst. The preparation method of the
platinum-
cobalt alloy carbon catalyst comprises a pretreatment process and a reaction process. The obtained crude platinum-
cobalt alloy catalyst is subjected to post-treatment, a post-treatment solution A is added into the crude platinum-
cobalt alloy catalyst during post-treatment,
after treatment is conducted for 0.5-200 h at the temperature of 0-80 DEG C, part of a
solvent is removed, then a post-treatment solution B is added, after
continuous treatment is conducted for 0.5-200 h at the temperature of 0-80 DEG C, washing is conducted, and
drying at 20-85 DEG C is conducted to obtain the platinum-
cobalt alloy carbon catalyst. According to the prepared crude platinum-cobalt
alloy catalyst, unalloyed elements and impurities on the surface of the catalyst can be removed through post-treatment, raw materials used in the preparation process are
environmentally friendly, the preparation technology is high in
operability, and commercialization is easy to achieve; and the prepared platinum-cobalt
alloy catalyst is excellent in catalytic activity, good in
oxygen reduction performance and high in
power density when applied to a single battery.
