Problems solved by technology

However, the shortcomings of this preparation method are: the preparation process is greatly affected by the pH value of the reaction system, and the carrier impregnation process has the disadvantage of limited load; at the same time, the activity and stability of the Ru-P catalyst have not been greatly improved. The degree of improvement, the Ru-P catalyst is not a synthetic phosphorus compound, there are defects that the composition of the catalyst Ru-P cannot be determined, and the reaction time is too long
However, the disadvantages of this preparation method are: the preparation method has the disadvantages that the product particles are large and easy to agglomerate; the RuP catalyst has the disadvantages of agglomeration and fewer active sites

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of fuel cells, in particular to a fuel cell anode catalyst and its preparation method and application. Background technique [0002] With the development of the economy, problems such as the shortage of traditional fossil energy and environmental pollution are becoming more and more serious, and all countries are accelerating the research and development of new energy technologies. As a device that can directly convert hydrogen energy into electricity, proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) are considered to be the most important renewable energy conversion technology, which consists of the hydrogen oxidation reaction (HOR) at the anode and the oxygen reduction reaction at the cathode. (ORR). At present, the high performance of proton exchange membrane fuel cells relies on Pt-based catalysts. However, metal Pt has problems such as low reserves, high price, and easy to be poisoned by CO, which restric...
