Technical field
That the present invention relates to is the preparation method of a kind of paper-graphite-CoPd membrane electrode, is a kind of method with coated with graphite paper load C oPd catalyzing hydrogen peroxide Electrochemical Properties.
Background technology
Traditional fuel cell mainly with airborne oxygen as oxidant, but in the situation that some is special, as in water, space is medium, the source of oxygen is but subject to great restriction, and (in seawater, dissolved oxygen concentration is low, is difficult to reach the requirement as power supply power; In space, oxygen is thin, is difficult to equally utilize).If therefore use oxygen as oxidant in these environment, must be self-contained.In recent years, H

2studied widely as oxidant.As the oxidant of underwater power source, H
2o
2there are a lot of outstanding advantages, (1) H

2direct-reduction is 2 electron reaction processes, and compared with the process of 4 electron reactions in oxygen reduction, what activation energy will be low is many, H
2o
2the exchange current density of direct-reduction, than large 6 orders of magnitude of oxygen electric reduction, therefore, uses H
2o
2more easily obtain good battery performance as oxidant than oxygen; (3) H
2o
2electroreduction is solid-liquid two phase reaction, and the electroreduction of oxygen is solid-liquid-gas phase reaction, two phase reaction boundary zone is than the easy foundation in three phase boundary district and stable, and without gas diffusion layers, therefore, whole battery system can more stablize, simply, compact, convenient and easy operating.In addition, H
2o
2produce so that several hundred million pounds are a large amount of every year, its low price, and overcome because using airborne oxygen to make the shortcomings such as alkaline electrolyte carbonation.
H
2o
2the catalytic performance of electroreduction is an important factor in order that is directly connected to the performance of fuel cell.So preparing high performance catalyst is to improve with H
2o
2for the key of the fuel battery performance of oxidant.Conventionally, the electrode of fuel cell is to form pasty state by catalyst fines mixed polymer binding agent, conductive carbon mix and blend, is then coated in dry obtaining in metal collector.The mode of this traditional making electrode, owing to introducing polymeric binder, causes some catalyst well not contact with electrolyte, thereby causes the low shortcoming such as catalyst utilization and low conductivity.In addition, conductive carbon powder and polymeric binder in long-time test or unstable under heavy-current discharge, can cause and come off, thereby affect the performance of electrode.H

Summary of the invention
The object of the invention is to propose a kind of preparation method of paper-graphite-CoPd membrane electrode that can solve hydrogen peroxide-based fuel battery negative pole poor activity problem.
The object of the present invention is achieved like this:
(1) graphite and clay mixture are evenly coated on plain paper;
(2) paper that scribbles graphite is kept to 20~30min under 1.0V voltage, the graphite that activation applies, then electro-deposition Co120~150min under-0.8V, obtains paper-graphite-Co membrane electrode;
(3) by paper-graphite-Co membrane electrode at 0.8mmol L
-1pbCl
2in solution, leave standstill 1~3 minute, obtain paper-graphite-CoPd membrane electrode, i.e. coated with graphite paper load C oPd catalyst.
The present invention can also comprise:
1, the electrodeposit liquid of described electro-deposition Co is by 5~5.5g NH
4cl and 1~1.5g CoCl
2be dissolved in the electrodeposit liquid obtaining in 50mL water.
2, described graphite and clay mixture are pencil-lead.
3, described plain paper is the one in writing paper, wrapping paper, newsprint, printing paper, technical paper, base paper or converted paper.
The present invention's pencil coated paper, in the surface of paper of the coating graphite of conduction, then prepares coated with graphite paper load C oPd catalyst with Pd replacing section Co by Co electro-deposition, improves the method for hydrogen peroxide Electrochemical Properties.Overcome collector price high, and the shortcoming such as hydrogen peroxide decomposition, solved the problem of hydrogen peroxide-based fuel battery negative pole poor activity.
Essence of the present invention is the battery structure that adopts hydrogen peroxide base fuel battery etc., take coated with graphite paper load C oPd as catalyst, forms the negative electrode of fuel cell.CoPd wherein comprises the CoPd alloy of Co, Pd and various ratios thereof.
