Problems solved by technology

The above-mentioned oxygen reduction electrocatalysts (metal porphyrins and metal phthalocyanines) are generally transition metal macrocyclic compounds containing macrocyclic structures, such as transition metal porphyrin monomers, transition metal substituted porphyrins, transition metal phthalocyanines, transition metal porphyrins, and transition metal porphyrins. Metal-substituted phthalocyanine or transition metal polymerized phthalocyanine has many preparation steps, complicated synthesis process, many side reactions, low yield, and high cost of raw materials for synthesizing macrocyclic ligands, which will greatly increase the manufacturing cost of fuel cells. hinder its commercial production

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a catalyst and a preparation method thereof, in particular to an oxygen reduction electrocatalyst and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] With the sharp increase in the consumption of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) and the depletion of energy resource reserves, as well as a series of environmental and pollution problems, it is urgent to find environmentally friendly and sustainable energy technologies. As a new type of energy conversion device, the proton exchange membrane fuel cell uses hydrogen and oxygen to react to generate water, and releases heat and electricity at the same time. It has the advantages of low working temperature, no pollution, high specific power and fast start-up. hotspot. However, the cathode oxygen reduction reaction of the proton exchange membrane fuel cell is slow and the overpotential is high. Even if platinum or platinum alloy oxygen reduction electrocatalyst is us...
