Abstract

The invention provides a battery cathode catalyst. The battery cathode catalyst comprises porous cerium dioxide microspheres and silver powder, wherein the silver powder is dispersed in the cerium dioxide microspheres and on the surfaces of the cerium dioxide microspheres. In the battery cathode catalyst provided by the invention, the porous cerium dioxide microsphere is used as a stable silver carrier, the battery cathode catalyst has relatively large specific area, nanometer silver particles can be prevented from being agglomerated during the sintering and test process, so that the catalyst is maintained with relatively high catalytic activity; and moreover, cerium dioxide has favorable oxidization-reduction characteristic, oxygen can be consumed in an oxidization atmosphere and is provided in a reduction atmosphere, so that the oxygen is rapidly transferred to a three-phase interface in the cerium oxide, the oxygen migration rate is improved, and the energy efficiency of a battery is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of metal-air, and in particular relates to a catalyst for a battery cathode and a preparation method thereof, a battery cathode and a metal-air battery. Background technique [0002] Metal-air battery is a special type of fuel cell. It is a new concept battery formed by replacing the hydrogen in the negative electrode of the fuel cell with metal. During the operation of the battery, the continuous operation of the battery can be maintained by supplementing the consumed negative electrode material. Aluminum is the most stored metal on the earth. Compared with other metals, aluminum can produce greater energy density and higher energy efficiency when used as the anode material of this type of battery, and the aluminum-air battery is light in weight, less polluting, and reliable. High safety, long life, safe use and other advantages, it is called "green energy in the 21st century". The anode of aluminum-air ba...
