The application provides a preparation method of a
palladium-
tin-
gallium ternary alloy nanomaterial, which comprises the following steps: A) under the protection of
inert gas, mixing a
metal palladium precursor, a
metal tin precursor, a
metal gallium precursor,
methylamine hydrochloride, tri-octyl
phosphine and
oleylamine, and performing a warming reaction to obtain a preliminary reaction solution; and B) further performing a warming reaction on the reaction solution, washing and
drying the reaction solution to obtain the
palladium-
tin-
gallium ternary alloy nanomaterial. The preparation method is simple in operation and controllable in
reaction conditions, and the obtained nanomaterial is spherical in shape, uniform in size and good in
dispersity. The component of the nanomaterial can be accurately controlled by adjusting the feeding ratio of the metal precursors. The carbon-loaded nanomaterial catalyst prepared by loading the nanomaterial on a carbon carrier has excellent catalytic activity and stability for the electrocatalytic oxidation reaction of various alcohols, and has important application prospects in the field of
new energy technologies such as direct
alcohol fuel cells.
