Abstract

The invention provides a method for preparing a proton exchange membrane fuel cell electrode with high catalyst utilization ratio, which comprises the following steps: firstly, constructing a gas porous electrode having a complete electron channel, a gas channel and a proton channel; secondly, exchanging platinum cations onto perfluorosulfonic acid resin of the gas porous electrode by an ion exchange method; thirdly, reducing the platinum cations onto a carbon carrier contacted with the perfluorosulfonic acid resin by an electrochemical reduction method, thus, the proton exchange membrane fuel cell electrode with high catalyst utilization ratio is prepared. The invention has the advantages of simple process and low cost. The proton exchange membrane fuel cell electrode with high catalyst utilization ratio prepared by using the invention has the advantages of high catalyst utilization ratio, low platinum capacity, good dispersion of platinum nano-particles, controllable size, and the like, and can replace the prior commercial platinum / carbon (Pt / C) catalyst.

Description

1. Technical Field: [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of fuel cells, and particularly relates to a preparation method of a proton exchange membrane fuel cell electrode with a high catalyst utilization rate. 2. Background technology: [0002] Proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) is a power generation device that converts chemical energy into electrical energy through an electrochemical reaction. It has the advantages of high energy density, low operating temperature and good stability. It is used in mobile equipment, electric vehicles (EV), Fields such as distributed power stations have broad application prospects. However, the high cost has always been one of the core problems that plagued its real commercialization. The main contribution of its high cost comes from the extensive use of electrocatalyst platinum. Due to the high price of platinum and the scarcity of resources, it has become more urgent to reduce the amount of platinum in PEMFC when a non-n...
