Abstract

The invention provides a preparation method for a PtCu/C catalyst, and belongs to the field of preparation methods for noble metal catalysts. The method comprises the following steps of mixing a copper source and a carbon support in a solution to obtain a suspension; mixing the suspension and sodium borohydride, and adding a citric acid solution to obtain a mixed solution; and mixing the obtained mixed solution and a platinum source to obtain the PtCu/C catalyst. According to the method, the citric acid solution is added in the reaction process to prevent the aggregation of nanoparticles, and the concentration of nitric acid is controlled to control the degree of wrapping of the citric acid on the surfaces of the nanoparticles, so that the degree of dispersion of the PtCu nanoparticles is controlled, and the methanol electro-oxidation catalysis performance is improved; the PtCu nanoparticles are uniformly dispersed, and are free of the aggregation, and the cyclic voltammetry curve of the PtCu/C catalyst in a methanol solution shows that the peak current density reaches 1,211mAmg<-1>.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of preparation methods of noble metal catalysts, and in particular relates to a preparation method of a PtCu / C catalyst. Background technique [0002] As a clean energy source, direct methanol fuel cells have great potential in portable electronic devices and vehicle power applications. Currently, Pt-based catalysts are the most effective anode catalysts for methanol fuel cells due to their unique catalytic properties. However, the expensive price of the noble metal Pt and its low catalytic activity for methanol electrooxidation at room temperature have become major obstacles to the commercialization of direct methanol fuel cells. In the current research, in order to improve the activity of methanol oxidation and reduce the loading of Pt, the alloy catalyst of Pt and another non-noble metal is commonly used or the Pt-based catalyst nanoparticles with certain morphology are prepared. [0003] In general, the particle...
