Abstract

The invention relates to a realization method for improving the electrooxidation activity of a formic acid fuel cell. Formic acid electrooxidation test is cyclic voltammetry test in a 0.5 M H2SO4 and0.25 M HCOOH electrolyte, prepared polygonal PtCoFe is used as a formic acid fuel cell electrooxidation catalyst, PtCoFe alloy nano-particles having a high selectivity and a polygonal morphology are prepared in a hydrogen reducing atmosphere through using chloroplatinic acid, cobalt chloride and iron trichloride as raw materials, PVP as a reducing agent and a protecting agent and adding specific amounts of CTAB and NaBr, and the preparation process is green and clean. The obtained polygonal PtCoFe alloy nano-particles have the advantages of many step atoms, high active site density, excellentelectrocatalytic activity in formic acid fuel cell electrooxidation catalysis experiments, and wide application prospect.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of formic acid fuel cell performance research. Specifically, the present invention uses PtCoFe alloy nanoparticles with polygonal morphology to improve the electro-oxidation performance of a fuel cell that catalyzes and oxidizes formic acid. Background technique [0002] Due to its excellent catalytic performance and thermal stability, noble metal Pt nanostructure catalysts are widely used in industrial catalysis, biomimetic, electrocatalysis and other fields. However, due to some restrictive factors in practical applications, such as easy poisoning, short life and high price, this excellent nano-catalyst cannot be further promoted and applied. In order to solve these problems, researchers often use low-cost 3d transition metal elements to partially replace Pt to form Pt-based binary / multi-element alloy catalysts, and explore its morphology, composition and catalytic performance stability through condition control. ...
