Embodiment 1

[0020] Weigh 20.0mg Pt(acac) 2 , 10.0mg Ni(acac) 2 , 11.0mg Ga(acac) 3 , 2.4mg NH 4 ReO 4 , 75.0 mg of CTAB was poured into the reaction bottle, 4.0 mL of oleylamine was added thereto, and then ultrasonicated in an ultrasonic machine for 30 min to form a homogeneous system. Then weigh 20.0mg W(CO) 6 Add it into the homogeneous system formed after ultrasonication, tighten the bottle cap, and turn the reaction bottle to make W(CO) 6 Spread relatively evenly on the bottom of the reaction bottle, and finally transfer to an oil bath at 170°C to react for 2 hours. Afterwards, it was cooled to room temperature, centrifuged at 13000 rpm, and the sample of the separated solid part was washed 4 times with a mixed organic solvent of hexane and ethanol at a volume ratio of 2:1, and then dried under vacuum to obtain One-dimensional PtNiGaRe alloy nanowire materials.

[0028] Weigh 5 mg of the PtNiGaRe / C nanocatalyst obtained in step 2 of Example 2 and mix it with 1.16 mL of isopropanol, 0.289 mL of deionized water and 0.054 mL of Nafion alcohol solution, and ultrasonicate for 1 hour to form a uniformly mixed catalyst ink solution. The above catalyst ink solution was sprayed on carbon paper, used as the cathode catalyst of the fuel cell membrane electrode assembly, and the fuel cell performance test of the one-dimensional PtNiGaRe alloy nanowire was carried out.

[0029] Continuously test the electrical performance of the above-mentioned fuel cell at a constant potential of 0.75V for 100h, the results are as follows Figure 5 shown. It can be seen from the figure that the attenuation of the output current density of the above-mentioned fuel cell using the PtNiGaRe / C nano-catalyst is almost negligible, and only drops by 4.9%, showing excellent stability.

Abstract

The invention provides a cathode catalyst active material for a hydrogen fuel cell. The cathode catalyst active material is a one-dimensional PtNiGaRe quaternary alloy nanowire formed by Pt, Ni, Ga and Re metal elements, the invention also provides a cathode catalyst for the hydrogen fuel cell, and the cathode catalyst for the hydrogen fuel cell can be obtained by loading the one-dimensional PtNiGaRe quaternary alloy nanowire on carbon. The invention also provides a preparation method of the quaternary alloy nanowire. The method comprises the following steps: dispersing Pt-containing salt, Ni-containing salt, Ga-containing salt, perrhenate and hexadecyl trimethyl molecular chain-containing quaternary ammonium salt in oleylamine, carrying out ultrasonic treatment to form a uniform system, adding W(CO) 6 into the uniform system, reacting at certain temperature for certain time, and carrying out centrifugal separation and cleaning to obtain the one-dimensional superfine PtNiGaRe nanowire.The quaternary one-dimensional alloy nanowire material is a brand-new quaternary alloy catalytic system, the utilization rate of platinum atoms on the surface is increased, and the activity and stability of a catalyst are improved. According to the invention, the four-metal alloy nanowires are synthesized in one step by adopting a wet chemical method for the first time, so that the operation is simple, the reaction conditions are mild, and the use of Pt can be greatly reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a material and a preparation method for a hydrogen fuel cell, in particular to a cathode catalyst active material, a preparation method and a catalyst for a hydrogen fuel cell. Background technique [0002] Hydrogen fuel cell has unique technical advantages such as high energy conversion rate and zero emission, and has been recognized as a very promising clean energy conversion technology. Although hydrogen fuel cells have broad application prospects, it is necessary to load a large amount of noble metal Pt on the cathode to improve the reaction kinetics of the slow oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and durability problems in practical applications, and its large-scale commercial application Still restricted. Therefore, how to reduce the loading of Pt and simultaneously improve the catalytic activity and stability of the catalyst is one of the focuses of current research. In response to the above problems, the researchers mainl...
