Dan Zhao et al. (Zhao D, Xu BQ ANGEWANDTE CHEMIE-INTERNATIONAL EDITION.2006, 45(30): 4955-4959) wrapped a thin layer of Pt on the Au core of about 10nm, thus obtaining nearly 100% Pt utilization efficiency, however Au is also a precious metal, and the price is relatively expensive, so the degree of reducing the cost of fuel cells is limited

Abstract

The preparation method for electric catalyst of fuel cell comprises: selecting 3-50nm nano Ni as core and thin Pt or PtRu as shell, wherein the rate between Ni and Pt or PtRu is 10:10~100; selecting the load capacity of Pt or PtRu on C carrier as 10-60%; preparing the glycol solution of NiSO4, NiCl2 or Ni(NO3)2; adding C carrier and N2H4, adjusting pH value by KOH or NaOH; adding glycol solution of HPtCl6 or mixture of HPtCl6 and RuCl3; adjusting pH value; separating, cleaning, and drying. This invention can improve noble metal utility and reduces cell cost.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a fuel cell electrocatalyst, in particular to a fuel cell electrocatalyst with nano Ni metal as the core and a thin layer of Pt or PtRu alloy noble metal as the shell and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] Environmental pollution and fossil energy depletion are very important issues affecting human survival and development. Since a fuel cell is a device that directly converts the chemical energy stored in fuel and oxidant into electrical energy through an electrochemical reaction, it has the incomparable advantages of traditional thermal energy conversion devices such as high energy conversion efficiency and environmental friendliness of the reaction product, so The research and development of fuel cells has received great attention. When the fuel cell is working, the fuel in the anode (such as H 2 , N 2 h 4 , sodium borohydride, methanol and other small organic molecules) and oxygen or H in the cat...
