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 nanometer catalyst used in 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 portability and storage, among which methanol fuel cells have been studied more. However, due to the certain toxicity of methanol, its application in mobile power sources such as mobile phones, notebooks, and computers is limited. Ethanol, as the simplest small organic molecule among chain alcohols, has the following advantages compared with methanol: first, it is cheap, safe and non-toxic; second, it is easy to transport and has low volatility; third, it has high theoretical specific energy; It has a wide range of sources and is a renewable green energy. Therefore, the study of direct alcohol fuel cells using ethanol as fuel not only has theoretical significance,...
