Abstract
A catalyst used directly for the methanol fuel battery is prepared through depositing Pt on the carrier (prepared active carbon black and ionic emulsion) by computer controlled electrochemical synthesis method.
Description
Technical field
The invention belongs to the technical field and the fuel cell field of producing catalyst with the chemical method, specially refer to DMFC Preparation of catalysts method based on platinum.
Background technology
DMFC (DMFC) is because of its energy density height, liquid fuel are easy to transportation and storage, running temperature is low, and has vast potential for future development in fields such as portable power supply, electric automobiles.One of critical material of DMFC is an electrode catalyst, its active performance that directly influences battery.Noble metal platinum also has excellent catalytic performance under low temperature (<80 ℃) service condition, so the used eelctro-catalyst of DMFC all is main component with platinum at present.But because the platinum resource-constrained costs an arm and a leg the requirement that its utilization rate in DMFC does not also reach commercial applications.Therefore in the past few years, in order further to improve the activity of unit mass platinum catalyst, researchers study several different methods, thereby have the Pt catalyst that high-specific surface area has the nanoscale of high catalytic activity in the hope of synthesizing.At present; what adopt usually is the method for electronation; mainly comprise infusion process and colloid method; as document M.G tz; H.Wendt; Binary and ternary anodecatalyst formulations including the elements W; Sn and Mo for PEMFCs operated onmethanol or reformate gas; Electrochimica Acta; it is catalyst based to adopt infusion process and colloid method to prepare Pt respectively among 43 (1998) 3637-3644; studies show that the catalyst performance that colloid method synthesizes is better, the catalytic performance of methanol electro-oxidizing is better than the catalyst that infusion process synthesizes, but this method need adopt larger molecular organics to make surperficial protective agent and reducing agent; also must in the anhydrous and oxygen-free system, prepare simultaneously; complex operation, process are difficult for accurately control, and the Preparation of Catalyst cost is higher.Compare with the method for electronation, adopt the research of electrochemical reduction less, document J.J.Whalen III, J.D.Weiland, P.C Searson, Electrochemical Deposition of Platinum from Aqueous AmmoniumHexachloroplatinate Solution, Journal of The Electrochemical Society, propose on golden film, to adopt potentiostatic method to carry out electro-deposition among 152 (11) (2005) C738-C743, contrasted respectively current potential constant when the different potentials value, the particle of the Pt that electro-deposition goes out, pattern, but particle size is all bigger, thereby Pt activity of such catalysts surface area ratio is less, causes catalytic activity lower.
Summary of the invention
The present invention proposes to adopt the pulse electrodeposition method, and Pt directly is deposited on activated carbon black and the carrier that the ion emulsion is mixed.The initial concentration by adjusting presoma and the current density of pulse electrodeposition, the make-and-break time ratio (t of electric current
