This invention relates to a method for preparing a hollow spherical, chlorine-free PtCu / C catalyst and its application. The preparation method includes the following steps: calcining a carbon support in a reducing atmosphere; dispersing the calcined carbon support in an alcohol-water mixture and adding an oxidant for a hydrothermal reaction; uniformly dispersing the hydrothermally reacted carbon support in the alcohol-water mixture and adjusting the pH to acidic to obtain a carbon support suspension; and adding Pt(NH4+)4 to the carbon support. 3 ) 4 (OH) 2 Solution and Cu(NH4) 3 ) 4 (OH) 2 A carbon-supported suspension was added to the solution, followed by reduction with a reducing agent to obtain a chlorine-free PtCu / C catalyst, wherein the PtCu is a nano-hollow sphere structure. This invention eliminates the contamination caused by residual Cl ions in existing catalysts; the synergistic and ligand effects between Pt and Cu atoms weaken the adsorption strength of oxygen-containing intermediates at Pt sites during the ORR process, lowering the reaction energy barrier of the catalyst in the oxygen reduction process; the high atomic utilization and large electrochemical active surface area of ​​the hollow sphere structure also facilitate the catalytic reaction, resulting in excellent ORR electrocatalytic activity and stability of the catalyst.

This invention discloses a carbon nanotube-based catalyst in which metal single atoms and nanocrystals coexist, its preparation method, and its application, relating to the field of catalyst technology. This invention utilizes highly conductive and stable carbon oxide nanotubes as a dedicated support, employing an in-situ construction strategy to simultaneously stabilize single atoms of manganese and molybdenum and their nanoclusters under high-temperature conditions. By leveraging the interfacial electronic coupling and orbital hybridization effect between the two, synergistic regulation of the adsorption energy of oxygen intermediates is achieved. This fundamentally overcomes the limitation of high energy barriers in multi-electron coupling reactions at pure single-atom sites. While significantly improving the bifunctional catalytic activity of oxygen reduction and oxygen evolution reactions, it effectively inhibits the migration and aggregation of metal species during preparation and operation, solving the core problem of balancing activity and stability in single-atom catalysts.
