The invention relates to the technical field of
new energy materials, and discloses a high-performance electrochemical catalyst and a preparation process thereof, and the preparation process comprises the following steps: preparing a composite carrier with a
carbon nanotube vertically growing on the surface of
graphene through a
chemical vapor deposition method; introducing
nitrogen and
sulfur heteroatoms by adopting
plasma-assisted vapor deposition; enabling the
metal precursor to be uniformly adsorbed on the carrier in a laminar flow state by utilizing a micro-fluidic reactor; and finally, carrying out stepped heating
pyrolysis and annealing treatment to obtain a finished product. The obtained catalyst has a three-dimensional conductive
network structure containing rich through pore channels, and iron and
cobalt metal active centers are anchored to defect sites of a carrier in a coordination form. According to the process, atomic-scale dispersion of
active components is achieved through a microfluidic technology, lattice stress is effectively eliminated in cooperation with stepped
pyrolysis, the problem that the activity and stability of the catalyst are difficult to consider at the same time is successfully solved, the
oxygen reduction catalytic performance is improved, the cycle life is prolonged, and the
mass transfer performance under the large-current working condition is excellent.
