Abstract

The invention discloses a method for preparing an Au-cluster/carbon nanotube composite catalyst. The method has the advantages that (1) the prepared Au/CNT composite catalyst has high onset potential, cycling stability and durability, and greatly improves catalytic activity of cathodic reaction of fuel cells; (2) the catalyst is prepared through in-situ reduction of a multiwalled carbon nanotube and chloroauric acid, the preparation method is simple and direct under mild reaction conditions with no high temperature and high pressure required, thus the synthetic process is greatly simplified and production cost is decreased; and (3) according to the preparation process, water serves as solvent instead of poisonous harmful organic solvent, at the meantime the preparation process is conducted under room temperature, which is energy-saving and environmentally-friendly and highly fits to the idea of green development and the development requirement on new energies of the modern society, thus the Au-cluster/carbon nanotube composite catalyst has a good market prospect.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for preparing a catalyst, in particular to a method for preparing a cathode composite catalyst for a fuel cell, and belongs to the technical field of new energy materials. Background technique [0002] Fuel cells have the advantages of high conversion efficiency, clean and pollution-free, and low noise. They can be applied to large power plants, small functional equipment, vehicles, etc. Therefore, it is the general trend to become the main energy source in the 21st century. The oxygen reduction reaction is always accompanied by a high overpotential, up to several hundred millivolts. Such a high overpotential has many adverse effects on the battery. Especially in acidic electrolytes, the standard electrode potential of the oxygen reduction reaction is 1.23V (relative to the hydrogen standard). The adsorption of oxygen ions, or the formation of an oxide film, changes the state of the electrode surface, resulting in a m...
