Abstract

The invention relates to a cobalt-based complex catalyst for a direct methanol fuel cell anode,and a preparation method thereof, wherein a polyvinyl alcohol-polyaniline conductive hydrogel treated with a weakly alkali is as a carrier, and is soaked in a soluble cobalt salt, and calcining is performed in an inert atmosphere to obtain an elemental cobalt nanocrystalline composite material wrapped bya nitrogen-containing carbon material and having elemental cobalt content of 2-6 wt%. According to the invention, a brand-new catalyst carrier loaded transition metal cobalt is adopted to replace traditional precious metals, and the electronic structure of the catalyst is regulated and controlled by doping heteroatoms, so that the catalytic activity and the electrode conductivity of the catalystare improved, and the catalyst has excellent electrochemical reaction activity.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a fuel cell anode catalyst, in particular to a direct methanol fuel cell non-noble metal-based carbon material anode catalyst in an alkaline system and a preparation method thereof. The catalyst prepared by the invention can be used for the electrochemical catalytic oxidation of methanol. Background technique [0002] Direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC) has attracted the attention of researchers due to its simple structure, easy portability, good fuel portability, high specific energy density, and low pollutant emissions. In recent years, DMFCs have become one of the important alternative power sources for portable and small electronic devices. Polymer electrolyte fuel cells (PEFCs) are considered to be one of the most promising power sources due to their high energy density and fuel efficiency. [0003] At present, noble metals such as Pt, Pd, and Ru have been widely used as anode catalysts of DMFC. However, due to its high co...
