Problems solved by technology

However, this method is cumbersome and has strict requirements on conditions such as temperature, solution concentration, pH value, and reaction time.
(4) Metal cluster synthesis [Schmidt, M.Noeske, H.A.Gasteiger, R.J.Behm, J.Electrochem.Soc., Vol.145, No.3, March 1998], that is, the metal and the reducing agent are in an appropriate organic phase Metal clusters are obtained by reaction, and then adsorbed by a carrier. This method can obtain catalyst particles with a smaller particle size, but the reaction conditions are harsh, and the removal of the organic phase is also complicated.
The preparation of catalysts by the above preparation methods will cause certain pollution to the environment.

Abstract

Method of spraying pyrolysis and carrier gas deoxidation is adopted to make particles of platinum and ruthenium deoxidized from chloro-platinic acid and ruthenium trichloride distribute in pores of active carbon and surface evenly. Moreover, particle diameter of platinum is in 3+ / - 0.5 Nano evenly. Features of the method are simple operation, producing Nano platinum and ruthenium / carbon electrocatalyst continuously without need of procedures of filtering, washing and drying. Performance of the electrocatalyst for oxidation catalysis of methanol is better than relevant product of platinum and ruthenium / carbon electrocatalyst produced from E-TEK Company.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to a preparation method of an anode electrocatalyst of a direct methanol fuel cell. Background technique [0002] Direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC) is a new type of environmentally friendly power generation device that directly converts chemical energy into electrical energy. Its outstanding advantages are abundant sources of methanol, cheap price, and its aqueous solution is easy to carry and store. Therefore, the direct methanol fuel cell is particularly suitable as a mobile power source for various purposes. At present, the preparation methods of carbon-supported noble metal catalysts are mainly divided into the following types: (1) impregnation method [J.B.Goodenough, A.Hamnett, B.J.Kemmedy, etal.Electrochimica Acta, 15 (1990) 199-207], which is to prepare supported metal catalysts The most commonly used method is to directly use the metal salt solution as the impregnation solution, and use different methods to reduce the pla...
