Problems solved by technology

However, the traditional nickel-based catalyst preparation method and preparation process are complicated, and the uniform dispersion of the active component nickel is not high, which directly affects its electrochemical reactivity for methanol oxidation.
[0007] For example, the Ni / 3D-graphene catalyst in the above literature has a methanol oxidation current density of only 64.6mA∙cm at a voltage of 1.6V (vs RHE). −2 , the methanol oxidation current density of NiO NTs-400 catalyst at 1.5V (vs RHE) is only 24.3mA∙cm −2 , V O -rich NiO nanosheets catalyst has a methanol oxidation current density of only 85.3mA∙cm at 1.5V (vs RHE) −2

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] The massive consumption of fossil fuels has caused problems such as energy crisis, global warming, and environmental pollution. It is urgent to develop new energy sources and improve energy conversion efficiency. [0003] A direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC) is a fuel cell that uses methanol as fuel. Since methanol fuel itself is easy to produce, store and transport on a large scale, the final products of electrocatalytic oxidation of methanol are carbon dioxide and water. As a potential energy supply device, DMFC has the advantages of high energy conversion efficiency, strong reliability, clean and easy start-up, ...
