Embodiment 1

[0073] [Example 1] Production of amorphous carbon with sulfonic acid groups introduced from naphthalene

[0074] 20 g of naphthalene was added to 300 ml of concentrated sulfuric acid (96%), heated at 250° C. for 15 hours, and then excess concentrated sulfuric acid was removed by distillation under reduced pressure at 250° C. to obtain a black powder. The black powder was washed with 300 ml of distilled water, and this operation was repeated until the sulfuric acid in the washed distilled water reached the detection limit of the elemental analysis or less, and amorphous carbon having introduced sulfonic acid groups was obtained.

[0075] A disk with a thickness of 0.7 mm and a diameter of 10 mm was produced by press-molding the powder of amorphous carbon with sulfonic acid groups introduced, and platinum was vapor-deposited on one surface of the disk, and the proton conductivity was measured by the above-mentioned AC impedance method. . It was confirmed that the proton conduct...

[0079] [Example 3] Production of amorphous carbon with sulfonic acid groups introduced from heavy oil

[0080] 10 g of heavy oil was added to 300 ml of concentrated sulfuric acid (96%), heated at 250° C. for 15 hours, and then excess concentrated sulfuric acid was removed by distillation under reduced pressure at 250° C. to obtain a black powder. The black powder was washed with 300 ml of distilled water, and this operation was repeated until the sulfuric acid in the washed distilled water reached the detection limit of the elemental analysis or less, and amorphous carbon having introduced sulfonic acid groups was obtained.

Abstract

A sulfonated amorphous carbon characterized in that chemical shifts of sulfonated condensed aromatic carbon 6-membered ring and condensed aromatic carbon 6-membered ring are detected in a <13>C nuclear magnetic resonance spectrum and at least diffraction peak of carbon (002) face whose half-value width (2theta) is in the range of 5 to 30 DEG detected in powder X-ray diffractometry, the sulfonated amorphous carbon exhibiting proton conductivity. This sulfonated amorphous carbon is very useful as a proton conductor material or solid acid catalyst because it excels in proton conductivity, acid catalytic activity, thermal stability and chemical stability and can be produced at low cost.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to amorphous carbon into which a sulfonic acid group has been introduced. The amorphous carbon into which a sulfonic acid group has been introduced can be used as a proton conductive material or a solid acid catalyst. Background technique [0002] A polymer electrolyte fuel cell is a type of fuel cell in which a proton-conducting membrane is provided between a fuel electrode and an air electrode, and since it can be downsized and lightened, it is expected to be used as a vehicle-mounted fuel cell. [0003] As the proton conduction membrane of polymer electrolyte fuel cells, Naf イ オン (Nafion, registered trademark, DuPont). However, since Nafion has low thermal and chemical stability, batteries cannot be operated at high temperatures. In order to obtain sufficient power even at low temperature for a fuel cell using Nafion, it is necessary to use a large amount of platinum catalyst (equivalent to 40 to 60% by weight of the...
