Abstract

The invention relates to a direct methanol fuel cell used anode catalyst which contains the following constituents (by weight percent): 20%-40% of Pt, 17.1%-34.2% of M1-xNxO2-Delta and 25.8%-62.9% of C, wherein x is mol ratio between 0.02 and 0.08, M is Zr or Ce, and N is transition metal or alkaline-earth metal. The catalyst accelerator in the catalyst of the invention is the improved doped metal oxide with stronger bi-functional effects compared with the un-doped metal oxide, the methanol oxidative current is higher than the common carbon supported platinum or un-improved similar composite catalyst, the efficiency of the direct methanol fuel cell used anode catalyst is improved, and the preparation process is simpler, thereby being suitable for scale-up production.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a catalyst in the technical field of fuel cells, in particular to a composite anode electrocatalyst for direct methanol fuel cells. Background technique [0002] Fuel cells have been proven to be the next generation of large-scale development and application of energy conversion devices due to their cleanliness, high efficiency, environmental protection and safety. After their technology is mature and industrialized, they will have a profound impact on human life. Among many fuel cells, direct methanol fuel cells are receiving more and more attention. Compared with other fuel cells, direct methanol fuel cells have the advantages of simple structure, high energy density, short start-up time, and reliable operation. The most important thing is that methanol, the fuel used for power generation, is rich in sources, cheap in price, convenient in storage and easy to add. Therefore, direct methanol fuel cell, as a portable mobile po...
