Abstract

The invention discloses a preparation method of a direct methanol fuel cell anode catalyst, and belongs to the technical field of electrocatalysis and energy. The method comprises the following steps: firstly preparing polyethyleneimine (PEI) functionalized graphene, then mixing H2PtCl6, CuCl2 and PEI functionalized graphene according to a certain mass ratio, dispersing in secondary water by ultrasonic, performing in-situ reduction of H2PtCl6 and CuCl2 by sodium borohydride under a room temperature condition so as to prepare a PtCu two-component nanoparticle / graphene catalyst (PtCu / graphene). The PtCu two-component nanoparticles (PtCuNPs) prepared by the method of the invention are uniformly dispersed on PEI functionalized graphene, and the particle size of the PtCu alloy nanoparticles is about 4-6 nm. Electrochemical experiment results show that the PtCu / graphene catalyst has excellent electrocatalytic activity for methanol oxidation; and the method is simple in operation, is mild and controllable in experiment conditions, and has extensive application prospects.

Description
