Abstract

The invention provides a method for preparing a high-efficiency and low-platinum direct methanol fuel cell catalyst, which belongs to the technical field of fuel cells. The present invention first adopts the method of pulse electrodeposition to deposit a layer of nanoscale Ni-P amorphous alloy on the titanium substrate, which has strong corrosion resistance and has a certain auxiliary catalytic effect on methanol oxidation, as a "core / shell" The "core" of the catalyst; then, through the chemical replacement reaction, a completely replaced platinum monoatomic layer is formed on the surface of the Ni-P amorphous alloy, thereby constructing a "core / shell"-like low-carbon catalyst with a synergistic catalytic effect on methanol oxidation. Platinum fuel cell catalyst. The method of the invention is simple and easy, and the production cost is low. The catalyst prepared by the invention can effectively reduce the amount of precious metals and improve the utilization rate of the catalyst, and can replace the existing commercial platinum carbon (Pt / C) catalyst, and is widely used in electric vehicles, various spacecraft, portable electronic equipment, Such as video cameras, notebook computers, electric toys, etc.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of fuel cells, and in particular relates to a preparation method of a high-efficiency and low-platinum direct methanol fuel cell catalyst. Background technique [0002] Direct methanol fuel cells (DMFCs) are devices that directly convert chemical energy into electrical energy using liquid methanol as fuel. DMFC has the advantages of high energy conversion efficiency, no pollution, no noise, simple system structure, high energy density, and convenient fuel carrying and replenishment. It is an ideal power supply for electronic products, communication equipment, and various portable equipment. At present, the precious metal Pt and its alloys are still the best anodic oxidation catalysts for organic small molecules such as methanol, but due to the high price of Pt, limited resource reserves, and the strong adsorption of CO intermediates generated during the oxidation of methanol on the surface of Pt to form Pt-C...
