Abstract

The invention discloses a method for improving the stability of a non-noble metal cathode catalyst layer of a fuel cell, and relates to a fuel cell technology. According to the invention, the alcohol and the trace noble metal are simultaneously introduced into the non-noble metal cathode catalyst layer, so that the stability of the non-noble metal cathode catalyst layer in the proton exchange membrane fuel cell can be greatly improved, a direct methanol fuel cell stability test is carried out under 0.1 A cm <-2 >, and the stability within 100 hours is greatly improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of fuel cells, in particular to a method for improving the stability of a non-noble metal cathode catalyst layer of a fuel cell. Background technique [0002] As a device that converts chemical energy directly into electrical energy, the proton exchange membrane fuel cell has a high energy utilization rate and can achieve zero emissions, so it has attracted widespread attention. However, its large-scale commercialization is still limited by the expensive Pt catalyst, and 90% of Pt is used in the fuel cell cathode to reduce its overpotential due to the slow oxygen reduction kinetics of the cathode. Therefore, it is necessary to develop non-noble metal oxygen reduction electrocatalysts to replace expensive Pt catalysts. [0003] Pyrolyzed metal / nitrogen / carbon materials (M / N / C) are considered to be the most promising non-noble metal oxygen reduction electrocatalysts capable of replacing Pt. In recent years, ...
