Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a direct methanol fuel cell. 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 future vehicle power and other vehicles. Promising chemical power sources have attracted widespread attention. 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 electrode catalysts 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 pric...
