Abstract

The invention relates to a reduced-graphene-oxide-supported Ni@Pd core-shell-structure electrocatalyst and a preparation method thereof, belonging to the field of composite materials. The method comprises the following steps: preparing graphene oxide by a Hummers process; preparing a mixed solution from NiCl2 and GO, and reducing Ni<2+> by using NaBH4 to obtain a Ni simple substance and reduced graphene oxide (rGO); adding a H2PdCl4 solution, and carrying out Ni-Pd<2+> replacement reaction to obtain Pd; and coating the Pd onto the Ni surface to form a Ni@Pd core-shell structure, and supporting the Ni@Pd core-shell structure onto the rGO. The preparation method is simple in steps, and fully utilizes the raw materials. The product has the obvious and unique core-shell structure shape characteristics, and has favorable catalytic properties for ethanol oxidation and oxygen reduction reaction. When being directly used in ethanol fuel cell anode catalysis and cathode oxygen reduction reaction, the electrocatalyst has wide application prospects.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to an electrocatalyst with a core-shell structure of Ni@Pd with reduced graphene oxide as a carrier and a preparation method thereof, belonging to the field of composite materials. Background technique [0002] Noble metal (such as Pt-based, Pd-based, etc.) nanoparticles are highly efficient electrocatalysts, which are widely used in DEFC anode catalysis and oxygen reduction reactions (ORR). Pd-based catalysts are used as electrocatalysts in alkaline media. , Its preparation methods mainly include: immersion reduction method, colloid method, electrodeposition and chemical displacement reaction. Studies have shown that Pd is expensive and the catalyst cost is high, which is a key factor hindering its wide application, and the stability and activity of Pd-based catalysts still need to be improved. One of the effective ways to reduce the amount of noble metal and improve the catalytic activity is to prepare binary metal core-shell nanopa...
