    摘要: A method for preparing a carbon-supported, platinum-cobalt alloy, nanoparticle catalyst includes mixing a solution containing, in combination, a platinum precursor, a transition metal precursor consisting of a transition metal that is cobalt, carbon, a stabilizer that is oleyl amine, and a reducing agent that is sodium borohydride to provide carbon-supported, platinum-cobalt alloy nanoparticles, and washing the carbon-supported, platinum-cobalt alloy, nanoparticles using ethanol and distilled water individually or in combination followed by drying at room temperature to obtain dried carbon-supported, platinum-cobalt alloy, nanoparticles; treating the dried carbon-supported, platinum-cobalt alloy, nanoparticles with an acetic acid solution having a concentration ranging from 1-16M to provide acetic acid-treated nanoparticles, and washing the acetic acid-treated nanoparticles using distilled water followed by drying at room temperature to obtain dried acetic acid-treated nanoparticles; and heat treating the dried acetic acid-treated nanoparticles at a temperature ranging from 600 to 1000° C. under a hydrogen-containing atmosphere.

    摘要: A method for preparing a metal catalyst supported on a porous carbon support using a plant, including: (a) a step of preparing a plant; (b) a step of preparing a metal precursor-absorbed plant by absorbing a metal precursor into the plant; (c) a step of preparing a catalyst precursor by drying the metal precursor-absorbed plant; (d) a step of preparing a char by charring the catalyst precursor; and (e) a step of preparing a metal catalyst supported on a porous carbon support by treating the char with an acid. The method for preparing a metal catalyst supported on a porous carbon support of the present disclosure, whereby a plant itself is charred, is environment-friendly and allows for convenient large-scale synthesis. The metal catalyst supported on a porous carbon support prepared thereby can be used as electrode materials of various energy devices, particularly as an electrode catalyst of a fuel cell.
