Abstract

A preparation method of a carbon, silver-copper and polyaniline composite electro-catalyst for oxygen reduction reaction of a fuel cell includes using ethanol as solution and a reducing agent; simultaneously depositing silver nanoparticles and copper nanoparticles on carbon particles by a hydrothermal method to form a carbon-supported silver-copper bimetal nanometer catalyst; and then decorating the particle surface of the catalyst by polyaniline by a chemical method to obtain the carbon, silver-copper and polyaniline composite electro-catalyst. Anhydrous ethanol and Nafion solution are added into the carbon, silver-copper and polyaniline composite electro-catalyst to prepare a corresponding carbon, silver-copper and polyaniline composite electro-catalyst electrode. The carbon, silver-copper and polyaniline composite electro-catalyst is high in electro-catalytic activity in oxygen reduction reaction, oxygen reduction reaction initial potential is 0.160V [vs SHE (versus a standard hydrogen electrode)], and current density is 1.50mAcm<-2> at -0.15V (vs SHE). In addition, the preparation method is simple, the structure of the electro-catalyst is stable, usage of silver which is precious metal is greatly reduced, and the electro-catalyst is widely applied to 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 preparation method of a carbon-supported silver-copper-polyaniline composite electrocatalyst and its product and application. Background technique [0002] Direct fuel cells have been used in various practical applications such as electric vehicles, portable printers, and stationary electronic devices as an environmentally friendly, inexpensive, and efficient energy source. A typical fuel cell consists of two electrodes, the anode oxidizes fuel molecules (such as hydrogen, methanol, and formic acid, etc.) and the cathode where oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) occurs. However, the cathodic reaction has a high overpotential, which is caused by the slow kinetic reaction. Oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is an important cathode process in proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFC). At present, metal catalysts have been widely used in...
