A method for preparing a highly dispersed supported platinum catalyst, which comprises the step of adding a reducing agent to a mixture of a platinum precursor and a carbon support, wherein the reducing agent is prepared by mixing ethylene glycol and sodium borohydride.
A method for preparing a highly dispersed supported platinum catalyst, which comprises:
- (a) mixing ethylene glycol and sodium borohydride at a mole ratio of 1:0.01 to 1:0.1 at a temperature of 0 to 50° C. for thirty minutes to three hours to prepare a complex reducing agent;
- (b) dispersing a platinum precursor and a carbon support body in a solvent at a mole ratio of 1:9 to 8:2;
- (c) preparing a mixed solution of the platinum precursor, the carbon support body, and the complex reducing agent by mixing the complex reducing agent in the dispersed solvent at a temperature of 0 to 50° C. for thirty minutes to three hours;
- (d) heating the mixed solution of the platinum precursor, the carbon support body, and the complex reducing agent at a temperature of 40 to 80° C. for three to ten hours;
- and
- (e) adding a hydrochloric acid solution to the heat-treated mixed solution of the platinum cursor, the carbon support body, and the complex reducing agent at a volume ratio of 0.5:1 to 2:1 at a temperature of 0 to 50° C. for twenty minutes to two hours.
The method of claim 14, wherein 1 mole of platinum precursor and 6 to 15 moles of complex reducing agent are used to prepare a mixed solution of the platinum precursor, the carbon support body, and the complex reducing agent.
