Abstract

The present invention relates to alkaline fuel cell catalysts, specifically the application of a highly active catalyst in alkaline fuel cells; the active component of the catalyst is composed of N and metal components, and the metal components are Fe, One or more of Co, Ni, Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Cu, Zn, Zr, Nb, Mo, Cd, W, Sn, Pb, Pd, Ir, Ru, W and their oxides; The atomic ratio of N and other metal components in the catalyst is 20:1-0.1:10, the mass percentage of active components in the catalyst is 10-80%, and the balance is C carrier. The catalyst of the invention has small particles and uniform particle size distribution. Compared with Pt, the catalyst has the advantages of low price and rich resources, and its activity in an alkaline system is equivalent to that of Pt, thereby greatly reducing the catalyst cost.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of alkaline fuel cells, in particular to a highly dispersed and highly active alkaline fuel cell electrode catalyst. Background technique [0002] A fuel cell is an electrochemical power generation device, which directly converts chemical energy into electrical energy isothermally and electrochemically without going through a heat engine process, and is not limited by the Carnot cycle, and has high energy conversion efficiency. At the same time, it is an environmentally friendly energy conversion device that hardly emits nitrogen and sulfur oxides. [0003] As a kind of fuel cell, proton exchange membrane fuel cell not only has the general characteristics of fuel cell, but also has outstanding characteristics such as rapid start-up at room temperature, high specific power and specific energy, and has been regarded as electric vehicles, submarines and various fuel cells. The best candidate for mobile power has become ...
