Abstract

The invention discloses a maskless direct alcohol fuel cell and a preparation method thereof. The main content disclosed by the invention comprises the steps of (1) firstly, restoring palladium chloride and nickel chloride by sodium borohydride reductant by adjusting the pH value of mixed solution of the palladium chloride, the nickel chloride and a multi-wall carbon nano tube, preparing PdNi nano-catalyst particles (PdNi/MWCNT) loaded by the multi-wall carbon nano tube; (2) taking ethanol as a solvent, preparing AgCo catalyst particles (AgCo/MWCNT) loaded by the multi-wall carbon nano tube by a hydrothermal method; (3) preparing an anode sheet from the PdNi/MWCNT particles, and preparing the gas diffusion electrode from the AgCo/MWCNT particles, and (4) forming the maskless direct alcohol fuel cell by the anode and the gas diffusion electrode, wherein the electrolyte is sodium hydroxide solution containing alcohol. The maskless direct alcohol fuel cell disclosed by the invention adopts non-platinum metal (palladium-nickel or silver-cobalt) as an electrode material, and is strong in electrocatalytic activity, and stable in performance; the ion exchange membrane is not used, and the battery cost is greatly reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of fuel cells, and in particular relates to a direct alcohol fuel cell without an ion exchange membrane, and also relates to a manufacturing method of a direct alcohol fuel cell without an ion exchange membrane. Background technique [0002] A direct alcohol fuel cell (DAFC) that uses alcohol (including methanol, ethanol, propanol, and butanol) as fuel converts the chemical energy of the fuel (methanol, ethanol, propanol, or butanol) directly into electrical energy. An electrochemical reaction device. For example, when methanol is used as fuel, its electrode reaction in alkaline medium is as follows: [0003] Anode reaction: CH 3 OH+ 6OH - →CO 2 +5H 2 O+6e [0004] Cathode reaction: 3 / 2O 2 +3H 2 O + 6e→6OH - [0005] Total reaction: CH 3 OH+3 / 2O 2 →CO 2 +2H 2 o [0006] Different from secondary batteries, as long as the direct alcohol fuel cell maintains a continuous supply of alcohol fuel and oxidant...
