The invention discloses an XC-72 loaded PtCu composite catalyst and a preparation method and application thereof, and belongs to the field of
electrochemistry, XC-72
carbon black is dissolved in DMF, ultrasonic stirring is performed for 1 min, and a solution A is obtained; taking a precursor
platinum salt and a precursor
copper salt, putting the precursor
platinum salt and the precursor
copper salt into a reaction kettle, transferring the solution A into the reaction kettle, and stirring for 20 minutes to obtain a solution B; taking glucose and CTAB (cetyltrimethyl
ammonium bromide) into the solution B, stirring for 2-3 hours to obtain a solution C, heating for 32 hours at 160 DEG C, washing for 4 times with
ethanol, and performing
vacuum drying for 8 hours at 60 DEG C to obtain a target material, and by regulating and controlling the
molar ratio of Pt to Cu precursors, taking the glucose as a
reducing agent and taking the CTAB as a dispersing agent, inhibiting agglomeration of PtCu nanoparticles on the surface of an XC-72
carbon black carrier, and promoting uniform loading of the PtCu nanoparticles under the interface modification effect of the CTAB, the
composite material is prepared. The number of active sites on the surface of the catalyst is increased, a reaction center is provided for catalytic reaction, and
catalytic efficiency is improved.
