Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of fuel cell electrocatalysis, and in particular relates to a catalyst and a preparation method for alkaline methanol ethanol oxidation and hydrogen evolution electrocatalytic oxidation. Background technique [0002] Renewable energy (alcohols, hydrogen energy) conversion and storage are crucial to solve the environmental problems and energy crisis brought about by traditional fossil energy. As advanced energy conversion devices, alkaline fuel cells and alkaline water electrolysis are widely used in industry because of the low cost and high safety factor of alkaline electrolytes. To date, platinum (Pt) is still considered the most advanced catalyst for fuel cells and water electrolysis. However, Pt is prone to CO poisoning during the oxidation reaction of alcohols (methanol, ethanol) in an alkaline environment. The activity in acidic environment is two orders of magnitude lower. In addition, the scarce re...
