Problems solved by technology

The general electrochemical dealloying method cannot be used for large-scale powder dealloying, and can only be applied to bulk materials such as plate, tube, and line with extremely low surface area, or to prepare a small amount of powder into a similar Dealloying after low specific surface area materials; not suitable for removal of chemically inert components such as Cu
[0003] In the field of membrane electrodes (MEA for short), electrochemical dealloying can only be prepared by mixing alloy catalysts and polymer electrolytes on the electrodes used for electrical analysis for half-cell testing. After the test is completed, the dealloying catalyst cannot be taken out for use. It is used for the preparation of MEA, and the conventional processing capacity is only in mg order, resulting in a lot of waste

Abstract

The invention relates to a catalyst dealloying method, which comprises the following steps: S1, uniformly dispersing the alloy catalyst powder in a solution composed of deionized water and an organicsolvent to form a catalyst solution; S2, the catalyst solution is filtered or coated on an electrically conductive inert electrode to obtain a catalyst film; S3, electrochemically dealloying the catalyst film of step S2 to obtain a dealloyed catalyst film; S4, stripping the obtained catalyst film from the inert electrode to form catalyst powder, purifying the catalyst powder, and performing dryingto obtain the dealloyed catalyst powder. The method can improve the magnitude of dealloying and effectively remove the excess alloy component in the catalyst powder, thereby effectively improving theactivity and stability of the catalyst powder and facilitating the recovery of the catalyst powder for testing.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the production and manufacture of fuel cell catalysts, in particular to a catalyst dealloying method. Background technique [0002] The slow oxidation-reduction process of the proton exchange membrane fuel cell cathode is one of the main reasons for the decrease in the efficiency of the battery system, and in order to improve the activity of the catalyst, it is necessary to dealloy the catalyst. The general electrochemical dealloying method cannot be used for large-scale powder dealloying, and can only be applied to bulk materials such as plate, tube, and line with extremely low surface area, or to prepare a small amount of powder into a similar The low specific surface area material is then dealloyed; it is not suitable for the removal of chemically inert components such as Cu. [0003] In the field of membrane electrodes (MEA for short), electrochemical dealloying can only be prepared by mixing alloy catalysts and polymer el...
