Can find out that from the data contrast of table 1 the nanometer carbon microspheres particle diameter of the carried metal particle for preparing among the application's the embodiment 1-4 is little, sphericity is high, has bigger specific area, and pore size distribution mainly concentrates between the 10-100nm.Employing has the nanometer carbon microspheres of performance parameter in the table 1 as the preparing carriers fuel-cell catalyst, and this catalyst evenly is sprayed on the PEM, makes the Catalytic Layer thickness membrane electrode all identical with response area.Because the three-dimensional netted polymer backbone that Nafion solution forms after solvent evaporates had both been fixed the nanocatalyst of dispersity; Prevent its migration reunion; Keep Catalytic Layer good active reaction zone and gas-liquid diffusion admittance, form good the contact with the Nafion film again, set up continuous proton transport passage; Form constitutionally stable phase reaction zone, helped carrying out smoothly of electrochemical redox reaction.The membrane electrode test result shows; With the unit are membrane electrode generated output of nanometer carbon microspheres Preparation of Catalyst is the unit are membrane electrode power of the Preparation of Catalyst of carrier with the conventional carbon black in the Comparative Examples 1 all; Show with the nanometer carbon microspheres to be that the eelctro-catalyst of carrier has higher catalytic activity, significantly improved the generating efficiency of fuel cell.
