Direct Methanol Fuel Cell with Homogeneous Assisted Catalysis and Platinum Catalysis on Porous Carbon

Abstract

The invention relates to a fuel cell technology and aims to provide a direct methanol fuel cell with homogeneous assisted catalysis and porous carbon-supported platinum catalysis. According to preparation of methanol fuel in the battery, 1 liter of sulfuric acid with a mass concentration of 5 to 10 wt% is taken and heated to 50 to 70 DEG C; 0.1 to 1 mol of V2O5 is added, reacting under stirring for 5 h is carried out, and after filtering, a (VO2)2SO4 sulfuric acid solution is obtained; after cooling to room temperature, 1 to 4 liters of methanol aqueous solution with a mass concentration of 50to 60 wt% are added, (VO2)2SO4 changes to (VO)SO4 through uniform mixing, and modified methanol fuel containing a cocatalyst (VO)SO4 is obtained. Oxidation and carbon monoxide poisoning on the surface of a platinum catalyst in the electrochemical oxidation process of methanol are avoided through the assisted catalytic effect of VO<2+> ions; and the performance of direct methanol fuel cell is improved through the synergy of the high activity of carbon-loaded platinum and the assisted catalytic effect of liquid phase VO<2+> ions. (VO)SO4 can be recycled, the cost can be effectively reduced, andthe application and the popularization of methanol fuel cells are facilitated.

Problems solved by technology

Alloying is currently the main means of promoting catalysts, but due to the conflict between the loading area of ​​the solid co-catalyst and the co-catalyst, increasing the loading of the co-catalyst will inevitably lead to a decrease in the loading of the main catalyst, so it is impossible to make the main catalyst and the co-catalyst Maximize the role of the catalyst
