Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of carbon nanofibers and fuel cell catalysts, in particular to a method for preparing carbon nanofiber-based non-precious metal catalysts by oxidation-improved electrospinning. Background technique [0002] Proton exchange membrane fuel cell is a kind of fuel (mainly H 2 , methanol and ethanol, etc.) in a device that converts chemical energy into electrical energy, in which the fuel is oxidized under the action of the negative catalyst and releases electrons to the external circuit, and the generated protons pass through the proton exchange membrane (mainly Membrane, manufactured by DuPont Company) reaches the positive electrode, and oxygen is reduced under the action of the positive electrode catalyst to combine the electrons provided by the external circuit and the protons provided by the proton exchange membrane to form water. This conversion process can achieve a high energy conversion rate because it ...
