Embodiment l

[0013] 200 mg of graphite oxide nanosheets were ultrasonically dispersed in 400 mL of ethylene glycol, and then 20 mL of 0.04 M palladium chloride solution, 10 mL of 0.1 M cobalt chloride solution and 20 mL of 1 M sodium acetate solution were added, and stirred well to mix well. The homogeneous mixture was transferred to a microwave hydrothermal reaction kettle, and the reaction was heated by microwave radiation for 10 min. After cooling, it is filtered, fully washed with acetone and deionized water, and dried at 90°C to obtain a palladium-cobalt / graphene nanometer electrocatalyst. As a comparison, the palladium / graphene catalyst (the mass fraction of palladium is 24.6%) was synthesized by the same method.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an electrocatalyst and a preparation method thereof, in particular to a palladium-cobalt / graphene nanometer electrocatalyst and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] The proton exchange membrane fuel cell using hydrogen as fuel is considered to be one of the most promising fuel cell technologies. However, due to the current large-scale production and storage safety issues of hydrogen, the proton exchange membrane fuel cell has not been industrialized. . Direct methanol fuel cells can avoid the safety problems of hydrogen production and storage, but methanol is not easy to electrocatalytic oxidation, and it is easy to permeate through Nafion membrane, which will reduce the performance of the battery. Recent studies have shown that direct formic acid fuel cells using formic acid as fuel overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings to a certain extent, and formic acid is almost non-toxic. Therefore, direct for...
