2 results about "Direct methanol fuel cell" patented technology

Direct-methanol fuel cells or DMFCs are a subcategory of proton-exchange fuel cells in which methanol is used as the fuel. Their main advantage is the ease of transport of methanol, an energy-dense yet reasonably stable liquid at all environmental conditions.

Preparation of monatomic modified multi-element nano-alloy catalyst and application in methanol fuel cell

The application belongs to the technical field of electrocatalysis, and particularly relates to a single-atom modified multi-element nano-alloy catalyst preparation and methanol fuel cell application. The application first synthesizes a chromium single-atom catalyst (Cr-SAC), then uses the Cr-SAC as a carrier substrate, and uses an electrochemical deposition method to load palladium (Pd), cobalt (Co) and nickel (Ni) metal precursors, and finally obtains a single-atom modified multi-element nano-alloy catalyst PdCoNi / Cr-SAC. The single-atom modified multi-element nano-alloy catalyst synthesized by the method has good conductivity, the single atoms and the multi-element nano-alloy are uniformly distributed on the substrate, the active sites are dense, the CO poisoning resistance is strong, and the catalytic activity and stability of the methanol oxidation reaction are improved, so that the direct methanol fuel cell with the PdCoNi / Cr-SAC catalyst as the anode has super-high energy conversion efficiency and long-term operation stability.
