Problems solved by technology

The noble metal Pt has excellent catalytic performance at low temperature (less than 80°C). At present, the electrocatalysts of DMFC all use Pt as the main component, and the PtRu catalyst has stronger CO poisoning resistance and higher catalytic activity than pure Pt. It is considered to be the best catalyst for DMFC at present, but due to its high price, the utilization rate in DMFC is not yet commercialized

Abstract

The invention discloses a PdNi / TiO2 nanofiber anode catalyst for a direct methanol fuel cell and a preparation method thereof. The catalyst comprises 95-97wt% of TiO2 nanofiber and 3-5% of nano PdNi. According to the invention, TiO2 nanofiber with high specific surface is used as a carrier to compound with PdNi to form a multicomponent catalyst; composite of Pd and Ni enhances conductive performance of TiO2 and catalysis performance of TiO2 on methanol; intermediates like CO generated from methanol oxidation are adsorbed and transferred to a catalyst surface and are directly treated with deep oxidation into an end-product of CO2. PdTi has a price much lower than those of precious metals like Pt and Ru, and also a small dosage in the catalyst, so as to substantially reduce catalyst costs and enhance catalyst capability of resisting CO poison.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a direct methanol fuel cell anode catalyst and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] Direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC) has the advantages of low energy consumption, high energy density, abundant sources of methanol, low price, simple system, convenient operation and low noise, and is considered to be the most promising chemical power source for future automobile power and other vehicles , arousing widespread concern. One of the most critical materials of DMFC is the electrode catalyst, which directly affects the performance, stability, service life and manufacturing cost of the battery. The noble metal Pt has excellent catalytic performance at low temperature (less than 80°C). At present, the electrocatalysts of DMFC all use Pt as the main component, and the PtRu catalyst has stronger CO poisoning resistance and higher catalytic activity than pure Pt. It is considered to be the best catalyst for DMFC at p...
