Background technology
Platinum/the material with carbon element of the platinum nanoparticles of carbon load is with its excellent catalytic performance, and as the catalyst in the chemical, the eelctro-catalyst in the battery that especially acts as a fuel has obtained using widely.But this carbon loading platinum nanoparticles catalyst traditional preparation process method mainly is based on dipping-reduction technique, just at first carbon carrier is immersed in the solution that contains slaine, make slaine be adsorbed on the carbon carrier surface, make its high temperature reduction under reducing atmosphere then.But thisly be difficult to the size of control load platinum particle on carbon carrier, and the dispersion of platinum particle on carbon carrier neither be very even, especially for the Pt/C catalyst of preparation high capacity amount based on traditional dipping-method of reducing.Document (Xue B etc. for example, Growthof Pd, Pt, Ag and Au nanoparticles on carbon nanotubes, J.of Materials Chemistry, 2001,11 (19): 2378-2381) report employing immersion-reduction technique is 8nm in the average grain diameter of the platinum nanoparticles of carbon nano tube surface load, and particle size distribution is between 2-12nm.Also can adopt surfactant or polymer to prepare the nano metal particles of high degree of dispersion in addition, support on the carrier then as protective agent.But this method is very high to solvent, surfactant or protective agent and operating condition requirement, while complicated operation, cost height.And the size of platinum particle has great influence to the electrocatalysis characteristic of Pt/C catalyst.The particle diameter of general platinum nanoparticles is about 3 nanometers, and the Pt/C catalyst has higher electrocatalysis characteristic.
Recently, the polyalcohol method is proved to be to prepare a kind of effective ways of metal nanoparticle.In this method, polyalcohol is as the solvent and the reducing agent of slaine.At high temperature polyalcohol makes the solution metal ion be reduced into metal nanoparticle as reducing agent.Can prepare the metal nanoparticle of particle diameter with polymer as protectant polyalcohol method at 1~2nm.But the metal nanoparticle of the polymer that this method obtains protection is difficult to directly load on the carbon carrier.As the application in catalyst field, the polymer protective agent must at high temperature be removed simultaneously, and metal nanoparticle can be reunited once more in the high-temperature process, influences the electrocatalysis characteristic of catalyst.
