Abstract

The invention discloses a natural plant based preparation method for a low-cost high-efficiency catalyst for oxygen reduction reaction. The method includes the steps: 1) collecting natural plants grew in the natural world and containing hybrid elements such as nitrogen, sulfur, phosphorus, boron or selenium and drying the plants; 2) placing the dried natural plants in a high-temperature furnace, heating to 800-1600 DEG C under the protection of nitrogen at the heating rate of 1-20 DEG C / minutes and keeping the temperature for a certain time; 3) enabling the electric furnace to be cooled naturally to below 400 DEG C, and taking carbonized materials out so that the catalyst for oxygen reduction is obtained. Catalysts of the type have the oxygen reduction catalytic performances equivalent to those of 20%wtPt / c and other catalysts based on carbon nanotubes, graphene and the like and are far lower in cost than those of similar catalysts. The catalyst can be widely applied to alkaline, neutral and acidic fuel cells.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a preparation method of an oxygen reduction reaction catalyst material, in particular to a preparation method of a low-cost and high-efficiency oxygen reduction reaction catalyst based on natural plants. Background technique [0002] The oxygen reduction reaction is the most common cathodic reaction in fuel cells, whereby oxygen is converted to water by combining electrons and protons through a four-electron process. [0003] [0004] Oxygen reduction catalyst is a crucial component of fuel cell cathode, and its performance directly depends on the performance of the final battery. Platinum (Pt) is the most commonly used catalyst for the oxygen reduction reaction. However, since the price of Pt is very expensive, it brings a very high cost to the battery. In recent years, scientists have developed a variety of novel high-efficiency oxygen reduction catalysts, such as transition metal sulfides, enzyme electrocatalytic system...
