Abstract

The invention discloses a direct sodium borohydride fuel cell anode. Etching pits are fully distributed in a foamed nickel current collector, wherein the dimensions of the etching pits are in nanometer scale; Pd nanorods or PD nanoparticles grow inside the etching pits and are used as anode catalyst of the fuel cell. The manufacture method for the anode structure comprises the steps of: putting the foamed nickel in a dilute acid solution for a period of time, thus generating the etching pits in the surface of metal Ni of the foamed nickel, wherein the diameters and the depths of the etching pits are in nanometer scale; taking the foamed nickel out of the dilute acid solution, washing, and drying the foamed nickel; putting the foamed nickel in a mixed solution of polyvinyl pyrrolidone, sodium chloropalladate, potassium bromide, ethanol and a reducing agent for reacting for 0.1-12h at 10 DEG C to 200 DEG C; taking out the foamed nickel, washing and drying the foamed nickel, and cutting the washed and dried foamed nickel to be in proper dimension as the anode. The direct sodium borohydride fuel cell anode has the advantages of stable electron conduction, good binding force and high catalyst space utilization rate.
