Dan Zhao et al. (Zhao D, Xu BQ ANGEWANDTE CHEMIE-INTERNATIONAL EDITION.2006, 45(30): 4955-4959) wrapped a thin layer of Pt on the Au core of about 10nm, thus obtaining nearly 100% Pt utilization efficiency, however Au is also a precious metal, and the price is relatively expensive, so the degree of reducing the cost of fuel cells is limited

Abstract

The preparation method for electric catalyst of fuel cell comprises: selecting 3-50nm nano Ni as core and thin Pt or PtRu as shell, wherein the rate between Ni and Pt or PtRu is 10:10~100; selecting the load capacity of Pt or PtRu on C carrier as 10-60%; preparing the glycol solution of NiSO4, NiCl2 or Ni(NO3)2; adding C carrier and N2H4, adjusting pH value by KOH or NaOH; adding glycol solution of HPtCl6 or mixture of HPtCl6 and RuCl3; adjusting pH value; separating, cleaning, and drying. This invention can improve noble metal utility and reduces cell cost.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to a fuel cell electrocatalyst, in particular to a fuel cell electrocatalyst using nano-Ni metal as a core and a thin layer of Pt or PtRu alloy noble metal as a shell and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] Environmental pollution and fossil energy depletion are very important issues affecting human survival and development. Because the fuel cell is a device that directly converts the chemical energy stored in the fuel and oxidizer into electrical energy through an electrochemical reaction, it has the advantages of high energy conversion efficiency and environmental friendliness of the reaction products, such as the incomparable advantages of traditional thermal engine energy conversion devices, so People attach great importance to the research and development of fuel cells. When the fuel cell is working, it relies on the electrocatalyst to remove the fuel in the anode (such as H 2 , N 2 H 4 , Sodium borohydride...
