Description

technical field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of fuel cells, in particular to a direct methanol fuel cell. Background technique

[0002] Direct Methanol Fuel Cell (DMFC) has the advantages of low energy consumption, high energy density, abundant sources of methanol, low price, simple system, convenient operation, low noise, etc. Promising chemical power sources have attracted widespread attention. One of the most critical materials of DMFC is the electrode catalyst, which directly affects the performance, stability, service life and manufacturing cost of the battery. The noble metal Pt has excellent catalytic performance at low temperature (less than 80°C). At present, Pt is the main component of DMFC electrode catalysts, and the PtRu catalyst has stronger CO poisoning resistance and higher catalytic activity than pure Pt. It is considered to be the best catalyst for DMFC at present, but due to its high price and defects such as easy solubility of Ru, the utili...

Examples

Embodiment 1

[0038] The preparation method of above-mentioned anode catalyst comprises the following steps:

[0039] (1) Porous hollow nano-TiO 2prepared by the sol-gel method. Dissolve the calculated amount of butyl titanate in a certain amount of absolute ethanol, add a certain amount of surfactants PEG-600 and Vulcan XC-72, add a mixture of absolute ethanol, glacial acetic acid and deionized water dropwise under stirring, Continue to stir after hydrolyzing to form a sol, let it stand for 2-3 days after forming a gel, and vacuum-dry at 80°C for 8-10 hours. Hollow TiO 2 nanospheres. The consumption molar ratio of butyl titanate, dehydrated alcohol, glacial acetic acid, deionized water when preparing sol is: n 钛酸丁酯 :n 无水乙醇 :n 冰醋酸 :n 去离子水 =1:20~40:1~2.5:2~6. The dosage of PEG-600 is 1% of the total volume of butyl titanate, absolute ethanol, deionized water and glacial acetic acid. The amount of Vulcan XC-72 is to completely hydrolyze butyl titanate to finally generate TiO 2 30% o...
