The invention discloses a
direct methanol fuel cell with
alloy-TiO2
nanotube / Ti
anode and a preparation method thereof. The
direct methanol fuel cell comprises a
cell housing, the
cell housing is inside provided with a membrane
electrode, an
air chamber is arranged between the housing and the membrane
electrode, the membrane
electrode is inside provided with an
electrolyte chamber, and the membrane electrode successively comprises a
cathode diffusion layer, a
cathode catalyst layer, a
Nafion membrane, a
porous titanium pipe, a TiO2
nanotube and a nanometer
alloy layer formed through
electroplating deposition; the
cathode diffusion layer is connected with the
cell housing via
welding points and is arranged as a cathode output terminal, and an
anode diffusion layer is connected with the cell housing via
welding points and is arranged as an
anode output terminal; a position, close to the
electrolyte chamber, on the housing is provided with a feeding hole and a feeding sealing cover; a position, close to the
air chamber, of the housing is provided with an air circulation hole; a position, close to the
air chamber, at the bottom of the housing is provided with a water discharging hole; and a position, close to the anode
diffusion layer, at the bottom of the housing is provided with a CO2 discharging hole. According to the
direct methanol fuel cell, the
catalytic oxidation performance and the CO-poisoning resistance of a TiO2 composite catalyst on
methanol are improved, and
alloy-TiO2
nanotube / Ti can be directly used as the anode of a direct
methanol fuel cell and helps to improve the cell performances.
