Problems solved by technology

However, since the catalyst particles are directly deposited on the carbon paper fibers, their relatively fixed surface area limits the amount of catalyst deposited and the catalytically active area.
At present, there is no report on the electrode preparation method of synthesizing nanowires on carbon paper to expand the electrode surface area to enhance the catalytic activity of the electrode for sodium formate.

Abstract

The invention discloses a composite electrode for catalyzing the oxidation of sodium formate, and a preparation method thereof and application thereof. The preparation method for the composite electrode used for catalyzing the oxidation of sodium formate comprises the following steps: separately placing hydrophilic carbon paper into absolute ethyl alcohol and deionized water for ultrasonic cleaning so as to remove oil stains on the surface of the carbon paper, and drying the cleaned carbon paper for subsequent use; dissolving cobalt nitrate, ammonium fluoride and urea in deionized water and performing sufficient stirring to obtain a precursor solution; transferring the cleaned carbon paper and the precursor solution to a reaction kettle for a hydrothermal reaction; after the hydrothermal reaction is completed, carrying out cooling to room temperature, taking the carbon paper out, washing the carbon paper repeatedly with absolute ethyl alcohol and deionized water, then drying the carbon paper in an oven, and then putting the carbon paper with a precursor into a tube furnace for calcination in an air atmosphere to obtain a carbon paper electrode having Co3O4 nanowires; and with the prepared carbon paper electrode as a working electrode, carrying out electroplating in an electrolytic bath. The prepared composite electrode is extensively applicable to the fields of energy, the chemical industry, environmental protection, etc.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of electrodes, in particular to a composite electrode for catalyzing the oxidation of sodium formate, a preparation method and application thereof. Background technique [0002] Membraneless microfluidic fuel cells have higher requirements on electrodes due to their small size and simple structure. Electrodes commonly used in membraneless microfluidic fuel cells are graphite plates, conductive substrates (conductive glass), carbon paper or carbon felt. Planar electrodes such as graphite plates or conductive substrates have a relatively small reaction area, and the fuel can only reach the electrode surface through diffusion to react, so the electrode performance is poor and the battery performance is low. In order to improve the performance of the electrode, a porous electrode is used as a permeable electrode, and the fuel flows through the electrode in a convective manner. Porous electrodes have a larger surface are...
