Abstract

The invention provides a positive electrode catalyst for a direct ethanol fuel cell and a preparation method for the positive electrode catalyst. The positive electrode catalyst is expressed as PtSn-ZrO<2>/GN, wherein the catalyst takes graphene (GN) as a carrier, and takes ZrO<2>-doped and partially-alloyed PtSn as an active component; the ZrO<2> is uniformly doped in the PtSn/GN; the PtSn-ZrO<2>/GN is used as the positive electrode catalyst for the direct ethanol fuel cell, the ethanol oxidization initial potential of the catalyst is lower than that of a corresponding unitary and binary catalyst, and the initial potential value is 0.14V; the stability is improved by 1-2 times compared with that of the Pt/GN; and the peak current density for catalyzing ethanol oxidization can reach 9-11mA.cm<-2>. The preparation method adopted by the invention is simple and easy to implement, so that industrial application can be realized easily; and according to the prepared PtSn-ZrO<2>/GN composite catalyst, the loading capacity of platinum is lowered, so that the cost of the catalyst is dramatically lowered.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an anode catalyst for catalyzing ethanol oxidation and its preparation, in particular to a PtSn-ZrO 2 / GN catalyst and its preparation method, and the catalyst is used as a direct ethanol fuel cell anode catalyst. Background technique [0002] Direct ethanol fuel cell (DEFC) has the advantages of high energy density, low toxicity, easy storage and transportation, and has broad application prospects in electric vehicles and mobile portable devices. At present, electrocatalysts still use platinum as the main component and are considered to be the best catalysts for fuel cells. However, the high cost of platinum-based electrocatalysts limits the wide application of fuel cells. Therefore, the development of catalysts with low platinum loading and high performance is the key technology to promote the development of fuel cells. Recent studies have found that when other metal elements such as Ni, Sn, Pd, Co, Cu and other metals are ...
