Abstract

The invention discloses application of ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid or salts thereof to an electrolyte addictive in a direct methanol fuel cell. A certain amount of ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA) or salt compounds thereof are added in DFAFC (Direct Formic Acid Fuel Cell) electrolyte containing methanoic acid to obtain the DFAFC electrolyte with high performance; and the decomposition of formic acid on a Pd catalyst can be completely inhibited, the electrocatalytic activity and the stability to formic acid oxidation caused by the Pd catalyst can be remarkably improved simultaneously and the performance of the direct methanol fuel cell is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a kind of application of EDTA in direct formic acid fuel cell, be specifically related to a kind of purposes that EDTA is used for electrolyte additive in direct formic acid fuel cell, by adding a small amount of EDTA or its salt compound in electrolyte, can improve Performance of direct formic acid fuel cells. Background technique [0002] In the past 40 years, although proton exchange membrane fuel cells using hydrogen as fuel have been developed for many years, they have not yet been commercialized due to problems such as high price, no suitable hydrogen source, and freezing of Nafion membranes at sub-zero temperatures. Later, people began to study the direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC) which uses methanol as hydrogen instead of fuel. It has the advantages of convenient fuel storage, transportation and use, simple structure, small size, and high specific energy. However, during the research process, it was gradually d...
