Abstract

The invention discloses a preparation method of a silica-modified multi-spherical-cavity carbon material and application of the carbon material to a fuel cell membrane electrode. According to the method, a silica bead is used as a template, aniline is polymerized around the bead, the silica bead is carbonized and etched in sequence, and the nitrogen-doped silica-modified multi-spherical-cavity carbon material is obtained. The size of spherical cavities of the multi-spherical-cavity carbon material is controllable, meanwhile the multi-spherical-cavity carbon material has certain oxygen reduction electrochemical activity, and therefore the carbon material can serve as a material relevant to electro-catalysis. Besides, silica modification enables the multi-spherical-cavity carbon material to have self-humidifying performance. A catalyst prepared from the silica-multi-spherical-cavity carbon material which serves as a carrier carrying Pt is high in electro-catalytic property, good in performance and stability under low humidity and long in service life and is an ideal choice for a fuel cell anode catalyst. It is indicated that the silica-multi-spherical-cavity carbon material can serve as the carrier material of the fuel cell anode catalyst and the material relevant to self-humidifying of the membrane electrode.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of new materials, in particular to a method for preparing a silicon dioxide-modified multi-spherical cavity carbon material and its application in fuel cell membrane electrodes. Background technique [0002] A fuel cell is a highly efficient energy utilization device that can directly convert the chemical energy stored in fuel into electrical energy. Due to the absence of the shortcomings of traditional energy utilization methods such as the emission of nitrogen and sulfur-containing air pollutants and particulate matter, and because of its high energy conversion efficiency and miniaturization characteristics, fuel cells will have great application prospects in the future energy market . Among them, the proton exchange membrane fuel cell is particularly favored by researchers, and has been applied to the power system of portable electronic devices and electric vehicles in recent years. Although proton exch...
