Problems solved by technology

Although DMFC has broad development prospects and attractive application markets, there are still some technical problems restricting the application and development of DMFC.
For example, the currently used perfluorosulfonic acid proton exchange membrane (Nafion membrane) has poor alcohol resistance, and when it is used in DMFC, there will be serious alcohol penetration phenomenon, and the currently used Pt catalyst is easily poisoned by the intermediate product CO produced in the reaction process. and expensive
More specifically, the catalysts used in DMFC mainly have the following three problems: the electrocatalytic activity of the catalyst is not high, the catalyst is easily poisoned and the catalyst is expensive.
However, in the above-mentioned catalysts, the intermediate products such as CO produced during the oxidation of methanol will be strongly adsorbed on the surface of the catalyst, occupying the reactive sites on the surface of the catalyst, making it difficult to be desorbed, resulting in a gap between the catalyst and the reactants. The connection of the catalyst is cut off, so that the catalytic efficiency of the catalyst is reduced, and the problem of catalyst poisoning occurs
In addition, both Pt and Ru are rare metals, and resources are scarce and expensive, which is not conducive to the large-scale commercial production of DMFC.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of fuel cells, in particular to an anode three-way catalyst for direct methanol fuel cells. The invention also relates to a preparation method of the catalyst. Background technique [0002] A fuel cell is a power generating device that converts chemical energy directly into electrical energy through a chemical reaction. Fuel cells can be divided into alkaline fuel cells, solid oxide fuel cells, molten carbonate fuel cells, phosphoric acid fuel cells and proton exchange membrane fuel cells according to the different electrolytes used. Proton exchange membrane fuel cells (also known as polymer membrane fuel cells) are the fifth generation of fuel cells developed after alkaline fuel cells, solid oxide fuel cells, molten carbonate fuel cells, and phosphoric acid fuel cells. Proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) has the advantages of not being limited by the Carnot cycle, high power density, high energy conversion e...
