Abstract

The invention discloses a preparation method of an electrocatalyst with a nanowire structure for a methanol fuel cell. The preparation method comprises the following steps: dissolving platinum acetylacetonate, ferric acetylacetonate and potassium hydroxide in a solvent, uniformly stirring and mixing at room temperature, transferring into a high-pressure reaction kettle, reacting at 100-150 DEG C for 2-8 hours, and washing the obtained black precipitate with absolute ethyl alcohol for 3-4 times after the reaction is finished, thereby obtaining the pure PtFe alloy nanowire catalyst. The synthetic method of the alcohol fuel cell electrocatalyst with the nanowire structure is simple to operate, high in reaction efficiency and low in energy consumption. The PtFe alloy nanowire catalyst has a large specific surface area, more active sites are exposed, the PtFe alloy nanowire catalyst can be in better contact with an electrolyte, and the electrocatalytic activity of the catalyst can be effectively improved.
