Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of oxygen reduction catalysts, and in particular relates to an oxygen reduction catalyst and its preparation method and application. Background technique [0002] Fuel cell is a kind of power generation equipment that directly converts the chemical energy of fuel into electric energy efficiently and without pollution. It is the fourth generation power generation technology following hydraulic power, thermal power and nuclear power. [0003] The oxygen reduction reaction rate of the cathode of the fuel cell is relatively slow. In practical applications, catalysts with high catalytic activity must be used to increase the oxygen reduction rate. Generally, platinum nanoparticles supported on carbon materials are used as catalysts. However, the above-mentioned catalysts belong to noble metal platinum-based catalysts, which have problems such as high price, scarce reserves in nature, and poor stability in alkalin...
