Problems solved by technology

However, after many years of research on DMFC, it was found that DMFC still has the following technical problems: (1) the electrocatalytic activity of the anode catalyst to fuel methanol is low, and it is easily poisoned by the intermediate product of methanol oxidation; (2) methanol is toxic, Flammable, etc.; (3) Methanol is easy to pass through the Nafion membrane, resulting in the waste of methanol and the "mixed potential" effect of the cathode, which greatly reduces the performance of the battery

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for preparing a Pd-based nano-catalyst used for alcohol fuel cells directly, which is characterized in that the following steps are included sequentially: A. carbon carrier or carbon carrier and stabilizing agent are added into polylol and are dispersed evenly to acquire serum containing carbon; B. precursor and the precursor with metallic additions are added into the serum containing carbon which is evenly dispersed; C. the serum acquired is carried out oil bath and reduction for 2-10 hours at the temperature of 125-198 DEG C; D. the serum is cooled to the room temperature and then filtrated, repeatedly washed with ultrapure water and placed in a backing oven for vacuum drying, thus acquiring the Pd-based catalyst. The method of the invention prepares the Pd-based nano-catalyst by reducing by glycol directly or by thermal treatment after reducing by the glycol, which is a preparation technology with simple preparation process, convenient operation, short procedure, high recovery rate and environment-friendly property.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the preparation technology of Pd-based nano catalysts for direct alcohol fuel cells. Background technique [0002] Direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC) has the advantages of abundant fuel sources, convenient storage and transportation, low pollution, high energy density, high energy conversion efficiency, and high price tolerance. It is suitable as a portable power source, so it can be commercialized first. However, after many years of research on DMFC, it was found that DMFC still has the following technical problems: (1) the electrocatalytic activity of the anode catalyst to fuel methanol is low, and it is easily poisoned by the intermediate product of methanol oxidation; (2) methanol is toxic, Flammable, etc.; (3) Methanol is easy to pass through the Nafion membrane, resulting in the waste of methanol and the "mixed potential" effect of the cathode, which greatly reduces the performance of the battery. Aiming at the permeation ...
