Abstract

A preparation method of a metal nano electro-catalyst for a redox reaction of a fuel cell. A complexing agent of EDTA and a reducing agent of NaBH4 are employed to reduce a mixed solution of H2PtCl6 and powdered carbon or a mixed solution of H2PtCl6 and CoCl2 and NiCl2 and powdered carbon to carbon-loaded metal nano catalyst particles through a one-step hydrothermal method. The catalyst particlesare separated, washed, added with absolute ethyl alcohol and a Nafion solution and dispersed by ultrasonic to a paste, which is pasted on a titanium sheet surface to prepare a corresponding carbon-loaded nano platinum electrode (Pt / C) and a carbon-loaded nano platinum-cobalt-nickel electrode (PtCoNi / C). The ternary platinum-cobalt-nickel metal nano electro-catalyst of the invention has an obviously decreased platinum content, but an initial potential and a current density of a redox reaction much higher than those of a crystal platinum electrode and a Pt / C electrode. The electrode material ofthe present invention not only has excellent catalytic activity to the redox reaction, but also substantially reduces a usage amount of the precious metal platinum; besides the electrode material is simply prepared, has a stable structure and can be widely used in fuel cells.

Description

technical field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of fuel cell technology and new energy materials, and specifically relates to a carbon-supported platinum-cobalt-nickel ternary metal nanometer electrocatalyst particle and a preparation method and application thereof. Background technique

[0002] Fuel cell is one of the key development directions in the field of new energy. It has the advantages of high efficiency, cleanliness and low noise, and has been highly valued by governments and scientists of various countries. The oxidant used in the fuel cell is generally oxygen, so the oxygen reduction reaction constitutes a very important reaction in the operation of the fuel cell. The metal with excellent electrocatalytic activity for oxygen reduction reaction is metal platinum (Pt), but platinum is an expensive metal, which greatly limits its practical application in fuel cells. Therefore, platinum and other cheap and common metals are used to form metal all...
