Problems solved by technology

In addition, there are also many research efforts devoted to the development of other binary or multi-component metal alloy nanocatalysts, such as Pb-Fe (Nano Energy 2018,50,70.Atomic rearrangement from disordered toordered Pd-Fe nanocatalysts with trace amount of Pt decoration for efficient electrocatalysis ), Pt-Fe-Cu (Chemistry of Materials, 2018, 30, 5987. Copper-Induced Formation of Structurally Ordered Pt–Fe–Cu Ternary Intermetallic Electrocatalysts with Tunable Phase Structure and Improved Stability), IrM (M=Fe / Co / Ni / Cu) (Nano Energy 2016,29,261-267.Tuning electrocatalytic activity ofPt monolayer shell by bimetallic Ir-M(M=Fe,Co,Ni or Cu)cores for the oxygenreduction reaction.) However, the alloy catalysts currently studied are basically zero One-dimensional nanoparticles or one-dimensional nanowires, when used in fuel cells or metal-air batteries, usually need to be supported on carbon supports with high specific surface area. The high surface energy of metal alloys at the nanoscale is prone to agglomeration and migration, thereby reducing the Catalytic performance and anti-poisoning performance
Moreover, the preparation process of the currently developed alloy catalysts is complex and time-consuming. In addition, when applied to practical devices, the catalysts are mostly powder materials that need to be dispersed on carbon supports and further loaded in porous electrodes to make oxygen electrodes, which cannot ensure High utilization of nanocatalysts and high binding of carbon supports
