Problems solved by technology

However, due to the need to add graphene materials in the polymerization liquid at the same time, the viscosity of the polymerization liquid changes, resulting in more difficult control of the polymerization reaction conditions, and it is easy for the polymer to only aggregate on the modified conductive polymer or small organic molecules on graphite. A certain point or a large number of ene sheets are stacked at the edge of the graphene sheet
When the modified graphene is used as the carrier, and the conductive polymer or organic small molecule is used as the site to anchor the platinum catalyst, the spatial distribution and particle size of the metal particles are uneven and the particle size is too large (about 6nm).
Conductive polymers have a weaker ability to conduct electrons than graphene materials. When graphene sheets are completely covered by conductive polymers, it will affect the transfer of electrons in the carbon six-membered ring, reducing the conductivity and other excellent properties of the catalyst carrier. leading to a decrease in the performance of the entire electrocatalyst
In the above method, graphene and polymer monomer need to be dissolved in alkaline aqueous solution at the same time, so it is not suitable for polymer modification and modification of polymerization reaction under acidic conditions, which makes the preparation method narrow in scope and not suitable for use. suitable for large-scale applications
