Problems solved by technology

Many studies are just like literature A.S.Arico, et.al., Effect of Pt-Ru alloy composition on high-temperature methanol electro-oxidation, Electrochimica.Acta.47(2002) 3723. and Pt / C-SPE and PtRu / C-SPE membrane Catalytic oxidation of methanol on the electrode. Electrochemistry, 4 (1995) 397. It is shown that a single Pt species and a single Pt valence state are not optimal for the catalytic activity of methanol electrooxidation, and the key problem is the intermediate state of methanol electrooxidation. The product CO is easily adsorbed on the surface of Pt, which excludes the adsorption of active oxygen, that is, the so-called Pt poisoning; the general method used to solve this problem, such as the literature A.J.Dickinson, L.P.L.Carrette, et.al., Preparation of a Pt -Ru / C catalyst from carbonyl complexes for fuel cell applications, Electrochimica.Acta., 47(2002) 3733. and B.Rajesh, et.al., Pt-WO 3 supported on carbon nanotubes as possible anodes for direct methanol fuel cells, Fuel81 (2002) 2177. Reported, is to add another one or more metal or metalloid components such as Ru, W etc. in the catalyst, these methods at normal temperature can only improve the activity of the catalyst to a limited extent, so the methanol electrooxidation current of the catalyst is still low

Abstract

This invention relates to a method for preparing anode catalyst of a direct methyl alcohol fuel battery by the selenious acid method which is applied to control the existence mode of Pt, so that, the valence states of Pt processed from the catalyst arc very well distributed. Beginning from altering PH value of the preparation system, selecting NaHsn O2 / Na2 SnO2 as the reductive agent and H2PtCl6 as the precursor of Pt regulate proportion of the reductive agent and the precursor, the reductive agent and OH-, reaction temperature and time, concentration of the preparing system and joining mode of the precursor to control Pt valence state, so that, the processed Pt / C has excellent catalytic activity to alcohol electric oxidation without introducing other auxiliary catalysts.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to a liquid phase preparation method of a fuel cell catalyst, and relates to the preparation of a carbon-supported catalyst for the anode of a direct methanol fuel cell. Background technique [0002] Among the known metal elements, Pt has the highest electro-oxidation catalytic activity for methanol. In order to increase the surface area of ​​Pt and also to reduce battery costs, Pt is generally supported on an inert conductive carrier with a high specific surface area to make a so-called Pt / C catalyst. In the known preparation methods of anode Pt / C catalysts for direct methanol fuel cells, acidic or weakly alkaline systems are generally used, and Pt in the prepared catalyst is generally a single component, such as Pt(0) or Pt(IV). The typical preparation methods include colloid method and dipping method. The preparation process of colloid method is, for example, US Patent 4,004,193. Firstly, chloroplatinic acid is reduced with sodium b...
