HOLLOW-STRUCTURED PT-NI ALLOY NANOPARTICLES, ELECTROCATALYST FOR FUEL CELL COMPRISING THE SAME, AND THE PREPARATION METHOD THEREOF

摘要

The present invention relates to a method for synthesizing and preparing Pt-Ni alloy nanoparticles with a hollow structure, and to an electrode catalyst for a fuel cell prepared by the same to have enhanced performance. When the difference in the rate of reduction of metal precursors according to various embodiments of the present invention is employed, it is possible to synthesize a single container and a single process by putting a reducing agent in two or more metal precursors and a carbon carrier which are in a state of being stirred together, and also to synthesize alloy nanoparticles with a binary or more hollow structure. In addition, it is possible to control the size of the nanoparticles of the present invention by controlling the content of a Ni precursor without a surfactant and a stabilizer which are required for controlling the size and shape of particles. Furthermore, the performance of an oxygen reduction reaction and the durability of a catalyst are improved by the unique characteristics of the Pt-Ni alloy nanoparticles with a hollow structure.
