Problems solved by technology

However, the research on the above-mentioned nanowire structure and nano-stereo-network structure catalysts is mainly focused on the anode of methanol fuel cells, while the research on the cathode of hydrogen-air fuel cells is relatively less; The method mainly has the shortcoming of four aspects, the first, because the continuity of hard template is poor, so the catalyst metal interlinkage that this method synthesizes is low; Second, the removal of hard template usually uses hydrofluoric acid, and the use of hydrofluoric acid will Environmental and safety issues pose serious threats; third, the pore structure of hard templates usually restricts the structure and size of nanocatalysts; fourth, hard templates are usually expensive and difficult to mass produce

Embodiment 1

[0042] Power generation performance and durability of Pt nanowire catalysts synthesized by a template-free method

[0043] Weigh 0.075g of Vulcan XC-72R carbon black that has been pretreated (refluxing with 2.0mol / L hydrochloric acid at 120°C for 8 hours and refluxing with 5.0mol / L nitric acid at 120°C for 8 hours) and put it into a 100mL beaker. After adding 30 mL of deionized water, sonicate in an ultrasonic oscillator for 30 min. Take 15 mL of H at a concentration of 10 mg / mL 2 PtCl 6 Add the aqueous solution into the beaker containing the carbon black suspension; then add 30mL of formic acid and continue to sonicate for 30min; then put the above mixed solution in a fume hood for 72h; filter the obtained mixture in a suction filter while using a large amount of Washed with deionized water to be free of Cl - Until it is detected, the filter cake is collected and dried in a vacuum oven at 80° C. for 8 hours; the final catalyst can be obtained.

[0047] The power generation performance and durability of the PtCo nanowire catalyst synthesized by the soft template method, and its synthesis schematic diagram is shown in figure 1 shown.

[0048] Into a 250mL three-neck round bottom flask, add 10mL CTAB chloroform solution with a concentration of 40mM and CoCl with a concentration of 20mM 2 and H 2 PtCl 6 Add 5mL of each aqueous solution, keep stirring for 30min, then add 80mL of deionized water, continue stirring at a stirring speed of 1000rpm for 15min, and slowly add 10mL of newly prepared solution containing 0.4g NaBH with a syringe pump 4 aqueous solution into the above mixed solution. The whole reaction process was carried out under the protection of nitrogen. Add NaBH 4 After the solution was reacted for 20 minutes until the solution turned dark gray, the reaction product was transferred to a 500mL beaker and excess ethanol was added, the residual CTAB was removed by high-speed centrifugation, and the solid prod...

Embodiment 3

[0052] Power generation performance and durability of the PtCo nanowire catalyst synthesized by the soft template method described in Example 2.

[0053] Such as Figure 8 It can be seen from the SEM photo that the nanowire structure is uniform and stable, with a diameter of about 10 nm and a length of about 500-700 nm. Due to the characteristics of the nanowire structure, compared with Pt particles, Pt nanowires are less prone to focus growth, dissolution and migration, thus making the durability of the main active component better.

Abstract

The invention relates to a Pt-based nanowire cathode catalyst for an in-vehicle fuel cell and a preparation method thereof. The Pt-based nanowire cathode catalyst comprises a carbon carrier and an active component supported on the carbon carrier, wherein the active component is Pt Nanowire or PtM alloy nanowire, M is a transition metal which is one element selected from the element periodic table B family and IIIV family; for the cathode catalyst, liquid phase reduction by a template-free method or a template method and other methods is conducted to produce the Pt nanowire or PtM alloy nanowire, and then the highly conductive main active component supported on the carbon carrier is obtained. Compared with the prior art, the Pt-based nanowire cathode catalyst provided by the invention has the advantages of simple preparation method, uniform nanowire structure, high activity and good durability.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of electrocatalysis and energy conversion, in particular to a Pt-based nanowire cathode catalyst for a vehicle-mounted fuel cell and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] A fuel cell is a device that directly converts the chemical energy of fuel (such as hydrogen, methanol, ethanol) and oxidant (such as oxygen, air) into electrical energy. Due to the advantages of fuel cell energy conversion not limited by Carnot cycle and environmental friendliness, fuel cell has become the focus of attention of academia and industry. In recent years, with the development of economy and society, energy and environmental pollution have become increasingly serious. Fuel cells have become an ideal alternative power source for future vehicles, distributed power stations, and portable power sources. [0003] A typical fuel cell consists of four parts: a bipolar plate, a gas diffusion layer, an electrocatal...
