Problems solved by technology

Especially in the scale-up preparation and mass production of catalysts, precise control of experimental conditions is required, and the process is complicated, which makes it difficult to realize the commercial application of catalysts.
At present, commercial noble metal catalysts are usually prepared by reducing precursors with hydrogen under high temperature conditions. This method consumes too much energy and increases the cost of catalysts. A simple, mild and green synthesis method is urgently needed to prepare palladium nanocatalysts at high concentrations.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of fuel cell material science and technology and the field of electrocatalyst technology, and relates to a preparation method of palladium nano-catalyst for direct formic acid fuel cell. Background technique [0002] In recent years, research on direct formic acid fuel cells (DFAFCs) has attracted much attention. The advantages of formic acid as a liquid fuel are: (1) non-toxic, non-flammable, convenient and safe for storage and transportation; (2) compared with methanol, formic acid has higher electrochemical oxidation catalytic activity, which can be seen from the Gibbs free energy calculation, The electromotive force of DFAFC is higher than that of direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC). Under standard conditions, the theoretical open circuit voltage of DFAFC is 1.48 V; There is electrostatic repulsion between anions, and the permeability of formic acid to the Nation membrane is much lower than that of methanol; (4) The...
