The invention provides a method for improving the stability of a fuel
cell catalyst and the
utilization rate of the catalyst, which belongs to the technical field of
fuel cells. A layer of conductive
polyaniline with conjugated large pai bond structure is modified on the carbon surface of a Pt / C (
platinum / carbon) catalyst through the in-situ chemical oxidation
polymerization method, on the one hand, migration, aggregation and growth of Pt nano-particles on the surface of a carbon carrier can be prevented by utilizing
strong interaction between
polyaniline and the Pt nano-particles, and the stability of the catalyst can be further improved; on the other hand, the
polyaniline is an excellent
proton-
electron conductor and simultaneously has excellent
oxygen permeability, by covering the polyaniline on the carbon carrier, the probability of exposing the Pt nano-particles on a three-
phase reaction interface of the fuel
cell can be increased, and the
utilization rate of the catalyst can be further improved. The method is simple and easy for operation, the production cost is low, and the catalyst prepared by adopting the invention can be applied in the
fuel cells taking
proton exchange membranes as electrolytes. The
fuel cells manufactured by using the invention can be widely applied in electric vehicles, various spacecrafts, portable
electronic equipment such as cameras, notebook computers, electric toys and the like.
