Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a cobalt nitride compound and a preparation method thereof, as well as a methanol fuel cell catalyst and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] Direct methanol fuel cells directly use methanol as the anode fuel, and the cathode uses air or oxygen as the oxidant to generate electricity. At the same time, the intermediate product carbon monoxide (CO) generated by methanol during anodic oxidation can poison platinum, and the generated CO is strongly adsorbed on Pt, firmly occupying the surface active sites of Pt, thereby hindering the adsorption and decomposition of methanol. To avoid CO poisoning, the current design of direct methanol fuel cell catalysts is to directly add rare metals and precious metals to the anode catalyst, such as carbon-supported platinum-ruthenium as the catalyst. But such catalysts are too expensive. [0003] In recent years, the research on nitrides as electrocatalysts for the reduc...
