Problems solved by technology

[0003] Direct Methanol Fuel Cell (DMFC) is a power generation device that directly converts the chemical energy of fuel (methanol) and oxidant (air or oxygen) into electrical energy. It has high energy density and power density and low operating temperature. Advantages, but there are also disadvantages such as high cost, easy poisoning and easy penetration of methanol
At present, the main problems of DMFC are: 1) The electrocatalytic oxidation rate of fuel methanol is slow at room temperature, the noble metal electrocatalyst is easily poisoned by carbon monoxide (CO) intermediate products, and the current density is low
2) Precious metals are expensive, and the mass production cost of catalysts is too high
4) The water and heat management is complicated, and the service life is not ideal
However, almost all the reports on the preparation of PANI / MWNT composites by chemical in-situ polymerization have considered the electrical conductivity, mechanics, photoelectricity and other properties of the composites, and most of them are based on polymers, and carbon nanotubes are dispersed as "fillers". The polymer network plays a role in enhancing and improving the conductivity, and none of the composites prepared by this method are used as supports for platinum-based catalysts in direct methanol fuel cells (DMFC).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a fuel cell anode catalyst, in particular to a polyaniline / multi-walled carbon nanotube (PANI / MWNT) composite material as a carrier, and a supported catalyst (Pt / PANI / MWNT), and use the supported catalyst as a preparation method of direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC) anode catalyst. Background technique [0002] Plagued by the "energy crisis" and people's increasing emphasis on environmental protection, searching for a new "clean energy" has become a new global topic. Fuel cells are generally regarded as a "green" new type of energy, which is of great significance to improving resource utilization and solving environmental pollution. [0003] Direct Methanol Fuel Cell (DMFC) is a power generation device that directly converts the chemical energy of fuel (methanol) and oxidant (air or oxygen) into electrical energy. It has high energy density and power density and low operating temperature. Advantages, but there are also...
