Problems solved by technology

The disadvantage is that this method usually requires some surfactants and separation and purification process, which is not suitable for mass production
The colloidal method can generally obtain noble metal nanoparticles with uniform particle size, but the preparation process is often complicated and the cost is high

Abstract

The invention belongs to a preparation method for a direct formic acid fuel cell carbon-supported palladium nanometer catalyst, which takes (WO3) n and xH2O or (MoO3) n and xH2O as colloid source to form metal colloid with PdCl2 and uses NaBH4 for reducing, thus obtaining the carbon-supported palladium catalyst. The palladium particles of the catalyst have uniform distribution and small average grain size. The catalyst prepared by the method has higher performance on the catalytic oxidation of formic acid than the carbon-supported palladium catalyst prepared by the traditional impregnation method which has the same loading capacity but no colloid source. The method with simple practice does not need protective agent and the colloid source can be removed through simple washing; therefore, the method is suitable for batch preparation of the carbon-supported palladium catalyst.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to a method for preparing a carbon-supported palladium nano-catalyst for a direct formic acid fuel cell. Background technique [0002] Compared with direct methanol fuel cells, direct formic acid fuel cells have many advantages. Formic acid is non-toxic, it is a non-polluting, environmentally friendly substance, formic acid is non-flammable, and it is safe and convenient to store and transport. Formic acid is a strong electrolyte, so it can promote the transmission of electrons and protons, especially beneficial to increase the proton conductivity of the solution in the anode chamber, and the permeability of formic acid to Nafion membrane is only 1 / 5 of that of methanol. Although the energy density of formic acid is lower, less than 1 / 3 of that of methanol, the optimum working concentration of formic acid is 10mol / L, while the optimum working concentration of methanol is only 2mol / L. Therefore, the energy density of the direct f...
