Problems solved by technology

Nevertheless, non-noble metal catalysts still face some problems, such as their catalytic activity per unit volume is still not high enough, resulting in a larger thickness of the catalytic layer, increased resistance of the electrode and material transport in the electrode (such as the diffusion of oxygen and the discharge of water) Correspondingly limited, causing battery performance to degrade

Abstract

The invention discloses a preparation method for a carbon nanofiber containing transition metal and a nitrogen element and application of the carbon nanofiber in fuel-cell catalysts, belonging to the technical field of carbon nanofibers and the fuel-cell catalysts. The preparation method comprises the following steps of: dissolving at least one transition metal salt and at least one nitrogenous polymer into a solvent to form a precursor solution; carrying out electrostatic spinning on the precursor solution to obtain an organic nanofiber; and heating to carbonize the organic nanofiber in a basic inert atmosphere to obtain the carbon nanofiber containing the transition metal and the nitrogen element. A nanofiber self-supporting membrane is directly used as a fuel cell electrode after dipped in the solution, or the carbon nanofiber is coated on the electrode to be used as a fuel cell catalysis electrode after formed into powder and then mixed with the solution. The method is simple and is easy to operate; and the prepared carbon nanofiber containing the transition metal and the nitrogen element performs good catalytic activity on oxygen reduction reaction.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of carbon nanofibers and fuel cell catalysts, in particular to a preparation method of carbon nanofibers containing transition metals and nitrogen elements and their application in fuel cell catalysts. Background technique [0002] The proton exchange membrane fuel cell is a device that directly converts the chemical energy stored in the fuel into electrical energy, in which the fuel (such as H 2 , methanol and ethanol, etc.) are oxidized under the action of the anode catalyst and release electrons to the external circuit, while oxygen is combined with the electrons provided by the external circuit under the action of the cathode catalyst and reduced to water. This conversion process is free from gas pollution, is not limited by the Carnot cycle, and is energy efficient, thus representing a promising clean energy technology. However, the reversibility of the cathode oxygen reduction reaction is very low, re...
