Abstract

The invention provides a method for preparing a titanium tungsten oxide coated carbon nano-tube platinum-supported electro-catalyst, belonging to the technical field of fuel cells. According to the method, titanium tungsten oxides are uniformly coated on the surfaces of carbon nano-tubes by adopting a sol-gel method, and titanium tungsten oxide coating layers with high crystallinity and high conductivity are formed through heat treatment so as to support a platinum catalyst. On one hand, the highly-crystalline titanium tungsten oxides are uniformly coated on the carbon nano-tubes, so that electron transmission channels are constructed, the conductivity is enhanced, the corrosion to a support is avoided effectively, the loss of the catalyst is inhibited, and the activity, stability and platinum utilization rate of the catalyst are improved greatly. On the other hand, the decomposition of an intermediate product, namely hydrogen peroxide, of oxygen reduction is accelerated by the titanium tungsten oxide coating layers, so that the yield of hydrogen peroxide is reduced, the influence on the catalyst and electrolyte membranes caused by hydrogen peroxide is reduced, and then, the service life of a fuel cell system is prolonged. The method provided by the invention has the advantages that the method is simple, the industrial production is facilitated, and the prepared catalyst can be applied to the fuel cells which take proton exchange membranes as electrolytes.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of fuel cells, and in particular relates to a preparation method of a titanium-tungsten oxide-coated carbon nanotube-supported platinum electrocatalyst. Background technique [0002] A fuel cell is a device that directly converts chemical energy into electrical energy. It has outstanding features such as high energy conversion efficiency, environmental friendliness, low operating temperature, low-temperature fast start-up, high specific power and specific energy, and is considered to be the most promising chemical power source for electric vehicles and other civilian applications in the future. Carbon-supported platinum catalysts have outstanding catalytic activity and are regarded as ideal fuel cell catalysts. However, the interaction between the carbon support and platinum is weak, and the carbon support is prone to corrosion. Nano-platinum particles are easy to migrate on the surface of the support, aggl...
