Embodiment 1

[0051] Preparation of catalyst support:

[0052] Take 2.0g VulcanXC-72 conductive carbon black, wet it with 4mL isopropanol solution, add 60mL deionized water, stir mechanically for 15min, and then perform ultrasonic treatment for 30min. Then, under mechanical stirring, 8.6g of 10wt.% PTFE aqueous emulsion was slowly added dropwise, and fully stirred to uniformly mix the carbon black and PTFE. Then place it in a 90°C water bath for coagulation, remove the supernatant, and dry to prepare a PTFE / C composite precursor with a PTFE content of 30wt.%. Put this precursor into a microwave oven (700W, 2450MHz), and perform a heating procedure of microwave heating for 5s and stopping for 20s to remove residual water in the sample. Subsequently, the heating procedure of heating for 10s and stopping for 60s was repeated until the PTFE content was 9wt%. The obtained PTFE / VXC composite powder with a PTFE content of 9 wt%, is denoted as 9PTFE / VXC.

[0060] Take 2.0 g of carbon nanotubes (CNT), wet it with 10 mL of isopropanol solution, add 100 mL of deionized water, stir mechanically for 15 min, and then perform ultrasonic treatment for 30 min. Then, under mechanical stirring, 30 g of 5wt.% FEP aqueous emulsion was slowly added dropwise, and stirred thoroughly, so that the nanotubes and FEP were uniformly mixed. Then place it in a 90°C water bath for coagulation, remove the supernatant, and dry to prepare a FEP / CNT composite precursor with a FEP content of 42wt.%. Put this precursor into a microwave oven (500W, 2450MHz), and perform a heating procedure of microwave heating for 5s and stopping for 20s to remove residual water in the sample. Subsequently, the heating procedure of heating for 15s and stopping for 60s was repeated until the FEP content was 20wt%. A FEP / CNT composite powder with a FEP content of 20 wt % was obtained, which was denoted as 20FEP / CNT.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a fuel cell, in particular to the application of a hydrophobic agent / conductive carbon material composite used as an electrocatalyst carrier for the fuel cell. Background technique [0002] Fuel cells, as an efficient and environment-friendly power generation device, have received more and more attention. Low-temperature fuel cells (operating temperature ≤ 80°C) include proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFC) and direct alcohol fuel cells (Direct alcohol fuel cells, DAFC), because of their high energy conversion rate, environmental friendliness, The advantages of low operating temperature are considered to have broad application prospects in automotive power, mobile power and small power stations. [0003] The electrodes are where the electrochemical reactions take place in the fuel cell. For example, the electrochemical reduction reaction occurring on the cathode side in PEMFC and DAFC is: [0004] o 2 +4H + +4e - →H...
