Abstract

The invention relates to a carbohydrate alkaline fuel cell anode and a manufacturing method of the carbohydrate alkaline fuel cell anode. The anode is prepared by combination of the catalytic effect on carbohydrate caused by a viologen compound and a nickel mesh in an alkaline medium, so that the viologen compound is fixed on the nickel mesh, thereby not only improving the catalytic activity of the nickel mesh, but also eliminating the environmental pollution caused by the viologen compound. The anode sequentially consists of two thin films, namely a metal nickel layer and a porous carbon layer from an air side to an electrolyte side. According to the preparation process, methyl viologen is fixed on the nickel mesh by virtue of a microenvironment created by polar porous carbon and non-polar polytetrafluoroethylene, so that methyl viologen is repeatedly used, and the ecological environment risk brought by methyl viologen is greatly lowered. According to the compound electrode structure, the nickel mesh and an electrolyte solution are contacted, so that the catalytic active site of liquid and solid phase boundaries is increased; the catalytic effects of the metal nickel, the porous carbon and the methyl viologen on oxidizing reaction of carbohydrate are combined, so that the electrochemical property of a carbohydrate cell is improved.
