Problems solved by technology

The advantage of this method is that the operation process is simple and the preparation cost is low, but the particle size of the catalyst is relatively large, and the catalyst is only connected to the multi-walled carbon nanotube carrier by adsorption, so it is easy to fall off during the electrochemical reaction, thereby reducing the catalytic efficiency.

Abstract

The invention relates to a multi-wall carbon nano-tube carried core-shell silver-platinum cathode catalyst and a preparation method, which belongs to the fuel cell catalyst technical field. According to the invention, the multi-wall carbon nano-tube is taken as a carrier, a core-shell structure which is characterized in that an active metal component is taken as a core, platinum which is taken as a shell layer is grown on the surface of the multi-wall carbon nano-tube. The preparation method employs sodium borohydride and glycol as a solvent and a reducing agent, a two-step reduction method is used, silver is reduced firstly to obtain the multi-wall carbon nano-tube silver-carrying particles; then platinum is reduced, the temperature and pH value of the reaction can be controlled, thereby the platinum is deposited on the surface of silver, so that the core-shell catalyst is prepared. According to the invention, the catalysis efficiency of the catalyst and the utilization rate of precious metals can be substantially increased, the oxygen reduction capability can be enhanced and the development of the fuel battery can be promoted.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of fuel cell catalysts, in particular to a core-shell silver-platinum catalyst (AgPt / MWCNTs) loaded on multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) for fuel cells and a preparation method thereof. technical background [0002] A fuel cell is an electrochemical device that directly converts chemical energy into electrical energy. One of its key materials is an electrode catalyst. For a long time, noble metals such as platinum and ruthenium have been widely used because of their excellent catalytic performance. However, due to the limited content of platinum group metals in the earth's crust, the price is high, and the rate of platinum in batteries is not high, which limits the development of fuel cells. Although the alloy catalyst can reduce the loading of Pt and improve the catalytic efficiency, the stability of the catalyst needs to be improved. Due to their unique catalytic properties, core-shell catalysts have...
