Abstract

The invention discloses a palladium oxide catalyst used for direct formic acid fuel cells and a preparation method of the palladium oxide catalyst. The preparation method comprises the following steps: dissolving palladium chloride to be prepared into a water solution, adding sodium citrate or potassium citrate, and adjusting the pH value of the solution to be 9 to 13; then putting the solution into a microwave reactor to carry out a microwave reaction for 3 to 30 minutes, and carrying out backflow and magnetic stirring while reacting so as to obtain a palladium oxide colloid solution; after the palladium oxide colloid is cooled, adding commercial carbon powder or carbon nano tubes to collect palladium oxide; and finally carrying out suction filtration, washing a filter cake cleanly, carrying out vacuum drying, and grinding to obtain the carbon-loaded palladium oxide catalyst. The palladium oxide catalyst uses water as a solvent, is green and environmentally-friendly, and is free of any organic matter to be involved into the reaction in the whole process; the catalyst is free of the addition of any protective agent with high molecular weight, and post-processing is not needed after catalyst preparation; the reaction time is short, and the energy consumption is saved; the process for preparing the palladium oxide catalyst in the invention is simple, and batch industrial production is easy to realize.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of electrocatalysts for direct formic acid fuel cells, in particular to a palladium oxide catalyst for direct formic acid fuel cells and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] In fuel cells, electrocatalysts play the role of electrochemical reaction "factories" and are the core materials in batteries. The development of electrocatalysts is one of the keys to fuel cells. Noble metal platinum, palladium, or platinum-palladium alloys have very high catalytic activity for the oxidation reaction and oxygen reduction reaction of hydrogen, formic acid, methanol, ethanol and other fuel molecules, so most of the commercial and practical electrocatalysts at this stage are carbon-supported. Platinum or palladium on carbon electrocatalysts. For anodic electrocatalysts for formic acid oxidation in direct formic acid fuel cells, palladium catalysts or carbon-supported palladium catalysts are recognized as elec...
