Abstract

The invention discloses a porous nano composite material for a fuel cell oxygen reduction catalyst, and is an M-N-C porous nano composite material, wherein M in M-N-C refers to base metal ferrum, cobalt or nickel, N refers to nitrogen, and C refers to carbon; small-particle-size metal nano particles are uniformly dispersed and embedded in a nitrogen-doped porous carbon carrier material; the base metal nano particles have the particle size range being 5-100nm; the mass percentage of nitrogen contained in the porous carbon carrier is 3-7%. The porous nano composite material for the fuel cell oxygen reduction catalyst, which is provided by the invention, has the advantages that because of the in-situ nitrogen doping of a carbon substrate, the implant of base metal nano particles in uniform distribution and the formation of the porous structure with high specific area, the catalytic oxygen reduction capability of the porous nano composite material is improved obviously, and the cycle stability of the material is improved; a precursor prepared by the composite material is low in cost, is easy to prepare, is controlled easily in the preparation process, is simple to operate, and facilitates industrial large-scale production.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the preparation of an oxygen reduction catalyst for a fuel cell, in particular to a porous nanocomposite material used for an oxygen reduction catalyst for a fuel cell. Background technique [0002] Due to its high energy density, high energy conversion efficiency and no pollution, fuel cells have been regarded as one of the most promising energy conversion technologies. In recent years, fuel cells have achieved considerable development, but their large-scale market applications still face problems such as high cost and low performance. Currently, the most widely used cathode oxygen reduction catalysts in fuel cells are carbon-supported platinum and platinum alloy catalysts. However, due to the high price and scarcity of precious metals such as platinum and ruthenium, the production cost of fuel cells is relatively high, which severely limits the commercialization process of fuel cells. Therefore, the development of low-cost...
