This MEA is applied in a direct formic acid fuel cell with a maximum power density of 100mWcm -2 , but the above-mentioned preparation process uses hydrazine as a reducing agent, which is potentially harmful to the environment and the human body.
[0008] In the above-mentioned patents, the nanoporous gold film is generally used as a self-supporting structure, and then its inner surface is modified, but the nanoporous gold film is fragile during the preparation process, which increases the difficulty of surface modification of the nanoporous gold, making the nanoporous gold film Gold thin films, a functional material, are limited in engineering applications

Abstract

The invention provides a method for preparing a fuel cell thin film electrode by using nanoporous gold. The preparation method comprises the following steps of firstly taking a gold foil as a raw material, and obtaining a nanoporous gold thin film through a dealloying method; secondly, transferring the thin film to one side of an ion exchange film; and finally, taking the composite thin film as a support layer and depositing a catalyst by an electrochemical method to form the nanoporous gold thin film electrode. The electrochemical deposition method adopted by the invention has the advantages of environmental friendliness, controllable catalyst loading, easiness in amplification and the like, and the constructed nanoporous gold thin film electrode can be used for a fuel cell, other batteries and other electrochemical reactors.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a preparation method of nanoporous gold used for thin-layer electrodes of fuel cells, belonging to the field of fuel cells. Background technique [0002] A fuel cell is a highly efficient energy conversion device that efficiently converts chemical energy stored in chemical substances into electrical energy. At present, fuel cells have been applied in many fields such as electric vehicles, distributed power stations, and aviation. Proton exchange membrane fuel cells have attracted widespread attention due to their advantages such as high power density, fast start-up speed, high conversion efficiency, and environmental friendliness. [0003] The membrane electrode assembly (MEA) is the core component of the electrochemical reaction device, which consists of a catalytic layer and a diffusion layer located on both sides of the proton exchange membrane. Membrane electrodes are mainly divided into gas diffusion electrodes (GasDiffu...
