A kind of electrocatalyst for fuel cell Pt 1Bi 1The preparation method of intermetallic compound

Technical field

The present invention relates to a kind of electrocatalyst for fuel cell Pt ₁Bi ₁The preparation method of intermetallic compound belongs to fuel cell material science and technology field and electro-catalysis field.

Background technology

Fuel cell is a kind of chemical energy to be converted to the device of electric energy, because it is not subjected to the restriction of Carnot cycle, and energy conversion efficiency height, and environmental friendliness and be subjected to extensive concern, it is considered to the generation mode of the high-efficiency cleaning of 21 century first-selection.

According to selected electrolyte difference, fuel cell can be divided into five classes (alkaline fuel cell, Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells, phosphoric acid fuel cell, molten carbonate fuel cell, SOFC), wherein, but characteristics such as the PEM membrane cell is owing to having that room temperature starts fast, the life-span long, specific power and specific energy height are especially suitable for use as the power supply of electric automobile and portable electric appts.

At present, the eelctro-catalyst that Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells uses mainly contains two kinds of Pt/C and PtRu, because Pt costs an arm and a leg and resource-constrained, therefore desire realizes the Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells commercialization, must further reduce the use amount of platinum and improve its catalytic performance, Pt base alloying is wherein a kind of main selection.Intermetallic compound one class in the Pt base alloy has better catalytic selectivity and catalytic activity and stability owing to having orderly structure and other characteristics than other unordered Pt base solid solution phase alloys.

Summary of the invention

The purpose of this invention is to provide a kind of used in proton exchange membrane fuel cell eelctro-catalyst Pt ₁Bi ₁The preparation method of intermetallic compound.

The present invention proposes Pt ₁Bi ₁The preparation method of intermetallic compound, technical scheme were divided into for two steps:

1) atomic ratio by platinum and bismuth is that 1: 1 each 0.1mmol of presoma and carbon dust with bismuth-containing presoma and platiniferous add 200mL 1mol L ^-1Hydrochloric acid solution in, pass through 5molL under the stirring in water bath ^-1Sodium hydroxide solution is regulated pH to 3, adds reducing agent then, and 90 ℃ of following reactions are filtered after 10 hours and obtained Pt ₁Bi ₁The intermetallic compound presoma;

2) with 1) presoma that makes in the process under reducing atmosphere low temperature 300-600 ℃ obtain intermetallic compound Pt after heat treatment 2-6 hour ₁Bi ₁Eelctro-catalyst.

Above-mentioned bismuth-containing presoma is bismuth chloride or bismuth nitrate, the platiniferous presoma is chloroplatinic acid, platinum tetrachloride, the quality of carbon dust prepares in the catalyst carrying capacity of platinum according to need and determines, reducing agent is ortho phosphorous acid sodium dihydrogen or sodium borohydride, the mol ratio that its mol ratio that adds ortho phosphorous acid sodium dihydrogen and metallic atom total amount is 100-120 or sodium borohydride and metallic atom total amount is 50-60, heat treated reducing atmosphere is that hydrogen volume compares the distribution greater than 2%, another component in the distribution is an inert atmosphere, for nitrogen or argon gas, as 95%Ar+5%H ₂

The preparation-obtained Pt of the present invention ₁Bi ₁The intermetallic compound particle particle diameter is about 3nm, has the hydrogen reduction activity and the catalytic oxidation formic acid activity of fine anti methanol toxication, and this method preparation is simple, is fit to mass preparation.
