Problems solved by technology

However, considering that it is a noble metal and is easily poisoned by carbon monoxide, it is necessary to further improve the catalytic activity and stability of palladium (Pd) catalysts to achieve high efficiency and low cost to meet the requirements of future commercialization
Therefore, it is necessary to develop catalysts with high catalytic activity, stability and low cost. However, the palladium-based and tantalum nitride composite catalysts have not been reported for the oxidation of methanol and formic acid.

Abstract

The invention discloses a carbon-supported palladium copper tantalum nitride nanometer electrocatalyst for direct methanol and formic acid fuel cells and a preparation method thereof. The palladium, copper, tantalum nitride and conductive carbon black components of the catalyst are contained in the catalyst The mass percentages accounted for are 3-10%, 0-10%, 15-70% and 15-70%, and the preparation method is to prepare dispersed carbon-supported PdCu@ TaN / C nanoelectrocatalyst. The invention is the first preparation of a conductive carbon black-supported tantalum palladium nitride-based electrocatalyst, and the preparation method has mild conditions, simple and controllable operation, energy saving and environmental protection. The electrocatalyst of the present invention is used as a direct methanol and formic acid fuel cell anode material for the first time, and compared with commercial catalysts, the amount of noble metal is significantly reduced, and has high electrocatalytic activity for the oxidation reaction of methanol under alkaline conditions and formic acid under acidic conditions ( 6.3 and 4.9 times the catalytic activity of commercial palladium carbon, respectively), strong anti-CO poisoning ability and other advantages.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of fuel cell electrocatalysts, in particular to a carbon-supported palladium copper tantalum nitride nanometer electrocatalyst for direct methanol and formic acid fuel cells and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] With the energy crisis and environmental pollution, fuel cells have been widely regarded as the most promising and environmentally friendly green energy. Small organic molecule fuel cells such as methanol and formic acid have attracted extensive attention due to their high specific energy and low operating temperature. In a fuel cell, one of its key materials is an electrode catalyst. Many reports have shown that palladium is an effective catalyst for methanol oxidation reaction (MOR) in alkaline medium and formic acid oxidation reaction (FAOR) in acidic medium. However, considering that it is a noble metal and is easily poisoned by carbon monoxide, it is necessary to furt...
