Controllable Preparation and the Application of the Carbon-Based Materials in Low Temperature Fuel Cell

摘要

With the development of nanotechnology, the nanocarbon has become the topic in materials science. The controllable fabrication and functionalization are two important aspects for the application of carbon-based materials. In this article, we will review the synthesis of the carbon-based materials, with the focus on the solid-based methods due to their advantages of simple equipment, easy handling and high yields. Also, the strategy introduced here will use the materials with plentiful functional groups as carbon source, which would be favorable to introduce and anchor various functional precursors into the carbon framework. Based on charge-match principle, also called "group-interaction" principle, the carbon with various morphologies, controllable crystallinity can be successfully prepared. Notably, the "in-situ simultaneous" route also is introduced, which can be use to construct the carbon-based composites more directly and effectively. The strategy for loading the Pt (Pd) NPs with controllable size, good dispersion and clean surface on there carbon carriers and the application of the carbon-based materials in low-temperature fuel cell was also introduced.
