[0035] Example 1 Preparation of Au@AuPt core-shell nanostructures

[0036] 1.1 Preparation of Au nanoparticles

[0037] (1) Before the experiment, prepare several 25 mL beakers, medicine spoons, a 50 mL beaker, 2 magnetic stir bars, and a 50 mL graduated cylinder, soak in aqua regia, wash and dry before use. As well as 5-50 μL pipettes, 100-1000 μL pipettes.

[0038] (2) Take a clean beaker, pour in a small amount of deionized water, put it in the freezer of the refrigerator and freeze it for later use. The medicine spoon is washed with deionized water, washed and dried with ethanol, weigh 0.364 g of cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide with an electronic balance, and add 10 mL of deionized water with a pipette to the beaker to dissolve. Weigh 0.033 g of sodium borohydride with an electronic balance, take 10 mL of ice water, and pour it into a 25 mL beaker to dissolve. At 27°C, use a 5-50 μL pipette to pipette 42.5 μL of chloroauric acid (1%) into the prepared 5 mL of cetyltrimet...

[0058] Chronoamperometric and voltammetric characteristics of Au@Ag core-shell nanocubes, Au@AuPt core-shell nanostructures and Au@Pt core-shell nanoparticles in Comparative Example 1 were tested. The detection conditions were as follows: 1.0 M sodium hydroxide and 1.0 M ethanol mixed solution were mixed, the scanning voltage was -1V~0.6V, and the scanning speed was 50 mV / s.

Abstract

The invention discloses an Au@Au / Pt core-shell structure nano catalyst applied to alcohol fuel cells. The nano catalyst is in a concave cube shape, and the size is 29+ / -4nm; the inside of the nano catalyst is a gold core, and the outside of the nano catalyst is a gold / platinum shell. The catalyst is prepared by the following method which comprises the steps: firstly, preparing gold nanoparticles;then depositing silver on the surfaces of the gold nanoparticles to form an Au@Ag core-shell structure nano cube; then utilizing an in-situ growth method to prepare the Au@Ag / Au core-shell structure nano cube; finally, adding chloroplatinic acid to displace silver out to obtain a product. According to the catalyst disclosed by the invention, a pure platinum shell is changed into a shell prepared from platinum and gold jointly, so that platinum loading capacity is further reduced, and cost is reduced; meanwhile, the catalyst has an unique core-shell structure, has richer atom distribution and larger surface area, further interacts with the gold core to achieve a Plasmon resonance effect and can effectively enhance catalytic activity and weaken a poisonous effect; to alcohol oxidization reaction under the alkali condition, the nano catalyst has the advantages of better stability and catalytic activity.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of fuel cell catalysts, and relates to an Au@Au / Pt nanocatalyst for alcohol fuel cells and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] Alcohol fuel cells have the advantages of abundant fuel sources, low price, safe and convenient carrying and storage, etc. Among them, methanol fuel cells are widely studied. However, due to the toxicity of methanol, its application in mobile power sources such as mobile phones, notebooks, and computers is limited. As the simplest organic small molecule in chain alcohols, ethanol has the following advantages compared with methanol: first, it is cheap, safe, and non-toxic; second, it is easy to transport and has less volatility; third, its theoretical specific energy is high; four It is a wide-ranging source of renewable green energy. Therefore, the study of direct alcohol fuel cells using ethanol as fuel is not only of theoretical significance, but also has broad appl...
