Problems solved by technology

At present, carbon-supported platinum and platinum alloy catalysts are the best performance and most widely used oxygen reduction catalysts for low-temperature fuel cells. However, noble metals such as platinum and ruthenium are expensive and scarce in resources, which seriously restricts the industrialization of low-temperature fuel cells.

Abstract

The invention provides a nitrogen and iron modified carbon material, belonging to the technical field of composite materials. The material takes melamine and FeCl3 as modifiers, and active ingredients such as N, Fe and the like are doped in carbon powder/a carbon nano tube, so that the catalytic action of the carbon material on oxygen reduction reaction is effectively improved, and the carbon material has good catalytic activity. Therefore, the carbon material can be applied to oxygen reduction catalytic reaction of fuel cells as a catalyst material. Through experimental determination, the cathode electrodes of the fuel cells prepared from the material show better oxygen reduction properties than traditional commercial XC-72 carbon powder electrodes, and the oxygen reduction catalytic activity is obviously improved. The material is simple in preparation process, is environment-friendly and is a non-noble metal oxygen reduction catalyst with potential application.
