The present disclosure relates to a PtAu nanoparticle catalyst heat-treated in the presence of carbon monoxide (CO) and a method for preparing same. Since the PtAunanoparticle catalyst heat-treated under CO atmosphere has high Pt surface area and superior oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) activity, a high-efficiency, high-quality fuel cell can be achieved by applying the catalyst to a fuel cell.

Disclosed are a method and an apparatus for an intact evaluation of the unit cells in a fuel cell stack. Since the degradation of the unit cells can be detected intactly, i.e. without disassembly of the stack, the time required for the detection and analysis thereof can be greatly reduced.

The present invention provides a method of synthesizing a nano-sized transition metal catalyst on a carbon support, including dissolving a stabilizer in ethanol thus preparing a mixture solution, adding a support to the mixture solution thus preparing a dispersion solution, dissolving a transition metal precursor in ethanol thus preparing a precursor solution, mixing the precursor solution with the dispersion solution with stirring, and then performing reduction, thus preparing the nano-sized transition metal catalyst. This method enables the synthesis of transition metal nanoparticles supported on carbon powder having a narrow particle size distribution and a wide degree of dispersion through a simple process, and is thus usefully applied to the formation of an electrode material or the like of a fuel cell.
