Abstract

The invention provides a direct methanol fuel cell catalyst and a preparation method thereof. The direct methanol fuel cell catalyst comprises carbon black, and fluorine and nitrogen which are doped in the carbon black, wherein the fluorine accounts for 0.1-20% of the weight of the direct methanol fuel cell catalyst and the nitrogen accounts for 0.1-20% of the weight of the direct methanol fuel cell catalyst. Compared with the conventional nitrogen-doped nonmetal oxygen reduction catalyst, the direct methanol fuel cell catalyst takes the carbon black as a carbon material which is sequentially doped with fluorine atoms and nitrogen atoms, and has the advantages as follows: firstly, the fluorine atoms and the nitrogen atoms have different electronegativity from oxygen, and the fluorine atoms have relatively large electronegativity and have a relatively strong electron-withdrawing property, so that synergy of the fluorine atoms and the nitrogen atoms can weaken the bond energy of chemical bonds between oxygen atoms in an oxygen molecule and can increase the speed rate of an oxygen reduction reaction; secondly, the synergy of the fluorine atoms and the nitrogen atoms also can affect the electron distribution of the carbon black, change the bond valence way of carbon atoms and improve the catalytic activity of the catalyst in the oxygen reduction reaction; and finally, the carbon black has low micropore content, so that the direct methanol fuel cell catalyst can facilitate transportation of reactants and is simple in preparation method and relatively low in cost.
