Abstract

The invention relates to a preparation method and application of a PtPdCu electrocatalyst for fuel cells. The method adopts a one-step hydro-thermal synthesis technology, and the synthetic method comprises the following steps: taking triblock copolymer P123 to be dissolved in redistilled water; adding chloroplatinic acid hexahydrate, potassium chloropalladite, anhydrous cupric chloride and potassium iodide into a P123 solution, and carrying out stirring and ultrasonic dissolution; transferring the mixed solution into the liner of a 50 mL polytetrafluoroethylene reaction still, sealing the reaction still, putting in an air blowing drying box, and reacting at the temperature of 120 to 200 DEG C for 6 to 12 hours; naturally cooling to room temperature, centrifuging and washing three to five times to obtain the PtPdCu electrocatalyst for the fuel cells. The triblock copolymer P123 serves as a protective agent and a reducing agent simultaneously, the potassium iodide serves as a morphological control agent and a surface modification agent, and the obtained PtPdCu electrocatalyst is of a hollow nanometer chain structure, so that the PtPdCu electrocatalyst has excellent electrocatalytic oxidation methyl alcohol performance and is a fuel-cell catalyst with excellent development prospects.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of fuel cells, and relates to a method for preparing a catalyst, in particular to a method for preparing a PtPdCu electrocatalyst for a fuel cell. Background technique [0002] Fuel cells are considered to be the third-generation power system after steam engines and internal combustion engines. It can directly convert the chemical energy of fuel into electrical energy without being limited by the Carnot cycle. Clean and environmentally friendly new energy technology [1] . Direct methanol fuel cell is different from general hydrogen-oxygen fuel cell, it does not need to convert methanol into hydrogen, but directly uses methanol as the fuel of the battery, not only the fuel is cheap and easy to store, the direct methanol fuel cell system is compared with other types As far as the fuel cell is concerned, it also has the advantages of simple structure, high theoretical specific energy density, rapid start-up, ...
