Abstract

The invention provides a self-assembled membrane electrode capable of electrochemistry generation of hydrogen peroxide and a preparation method of the membrane electrode. The membrane electrode comprises a cathode catalyst support layer, an anode catalyst support layer, a cathode catalytic layer, an anode catalytic layer and an electrolyte membrane. The preparation method comprises the following steps that: (1) a membrane electrode anode plane is prepared; (2) a membrane electrode cathode plane is prepared; and (3) the membrane electrode cathode plane is adhered to the other side face of the electrolyte membrane covered by the membrane electrode anode plane, thereby completing the assembly of the membrane electrode cathode plane. Compared with the prior membrane electrode, the self-assembled membrane electrode reduces the equivalent weight of precious metal, and increases the utilization rate of catalyst; catalyst can be evenly dispersed over a surface without easily agglomerating and breaking off; the obtained anode surface and platinum catalyst particle has better controllability and evener distribution, and particle size can reach to nanograde; therefore, the self-assembled membrane electrode represents excellent electrochemical properties and stability, and has high catalytic production efficiency of hydrogen peroxide.
