Problems solved by technology

Cathode catalyst (Pt-based is recognized as the catalyst with the best cathode oxygen reduction performance) with slow kinetics, poor methanol resistance, and easy CO poisoning
Two-dimensional nanostructures have high volume ratio of surface metal atoms and low coordination atoms, however, due to inherent physicochemical properties such as lattice mismatch and redox potential, the growth of two-dimensional nanostructures is thermodynamically unfavorable.

Abstract

The invention discloses a high-performance oxygen reduction catalyst used in an actual methanol fuel cell, which is characterized in that a Pd-based quaternary alloy is synthesized for the first time without adding a surfactant and a reducing agent by using a template method induced by visible light Nanosheets are about 5nm in thickness and larger than 500nm in diameter. By testing the X-ray diffraction spectrum, its crystal configuration is face-centered cubic. In an actual methanol fuel cell, the power density of PdAuBiTe alloy nanosheets is 235.7 mW cm ‑2 , is 2.32 times that of commercial carbon-supported platinum, and is the highest value reported in the current literature. In the constant current stability test, the voltage of PdAuBiTe alloy nanosheets dropped only 15% for 15h, while the commercial carbon-supported platinum dropped 55.1%.

Description

Technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a high-performance oxygen reduction catalyst for an actual methanol fuel cell. Background [0002] Methanol is easily available, stored, and has a high energy density, and direct methanol fuel cells are expected to become a conversion device for renewable energy to alleviate the energy crisis and greenhouse effect. Cathode catalysts (Pt groups are recognized as the catalysts with the best cathodic oxygen reduction performance) have slow kinetics, poor methanol resistance, and are prone to CO poisoning. Two-dimensional nanostructures have surface metal atoms with high volume ratios and low coordination atoms, but due to inherent physicochemical properties such as lattice mismatch and redox potential, it is not conducive to the growth of two-dimensional nanostructures in thermodynamics. Contents of the Invention [0003] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is: to provide a visible light-induced templa...
