Abstract

The invention discloses a direct methanol fuel cell RuNi / TiO2 nanotube electrode and a preparation method thereof. The direct methanol fuel cell RuNi / TiO2 nanotube electrode is formed in a manner that a titanium plate anode is oxidized to form nanotubes on a surface, and a nano RuNi alloy is deposited through electroplating. After the titanium plate anode is oxidized after roasting, the surface of the titanium plate forms a thin layer of TiO2 nanotubes with high ration surface, and the RuNi alloy is deposited on the surfaces of the TiO2 nanotubes through electroplating, so that the electrical conductivity of the TiO2 nanotubes is improved, and the catalyzing oxidation of TiO2 on methyl alcohol is improved through the synergistic effect of the RuNi alloy on TiO2; meanwhile, intermediate products, such as CO, generated by methyl alcohol oxidation are adsorbed and transferred to the surfaces of the TiO2 nanotubes and are deeply oxidized to obtain a final product CO2, so that a CO toxicity resisting capacity of the catalyst is improved; the price of RuNi is lower than that of noble metals such as Pt and Ru, the dosage of the RuNi in the RuNi / TiO2 nanotubes is small, and thus, the cost of the catalyst is greatly reduced; the direct methanol fuel cell RuNi / TiO2 nanotube electrode is utilized as a direct methanol fuel cell anode, and the property of the cell is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to direct methanol fuel cell RuNi / TiO 2 Nanotube electrode and its preparation method. Background technique [0002] Direct Methanol Fuel Cell (DMFC) has the advantages of low energy consumption, high energy density, abundant sources of methanol, low price, simple system, convenient operation and low noise, and is considered to be the most promising future vehicle power and other vehicles. Promising chemical power sources have attracted widespread attention. One of the most critical materials of DMFC is the electrode catalyst, which directly affects the performance, stability, service life and manufacturing cost of the battery. The noble metal Pt has excellent catalytic performance at low temperature (less than 80°C). At present, the electrode catalysts of DMFC all use Pt as the main component, and the PtRu catalyst has stronger CO poisoning resistance and higher catalytic activity than pure Pt. It is considered to be t...
