Problems solved by technology

In addition, in the electrochemical environment, as the potential changes, the valence state of Mn on the surface of the catalyst will also change, resulting in a change in the composition of MnOx on the surface, resulting in a change in the ORR activity.

Abstract

In the prior art, MnOx catalysts have good oxygen reduction activity under alkaline conditions, and have advantages of low cost, simple preparation and the like, but Mn in the usually-prepared MnOx is mixed valence, and the low valence Mn has poor oxygen reduction reaction activity. The present invention relates to a method for increasing oxygen reduction activity of a MnOx catalyst, wherein the method specifically comprises: under an alkaline condition, carrying out an electrochemistry treatment on a MnOx catalyst through cyclic voltammetry scanning or linear scanning or constant potential to increase the high valence Mn (IV) content in the MnOx catalyst so as to increase the oxygen reduction activity of the catalyst. The method has advantages of simpleness, easy performing, stability, reliability and the like.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of fuel cell catalysts, in particular to a method for improving the oxygen reduction activity of MnOx catalysts under alkaline conditions. Background technique [0002] With the increasing consumption of fuels such as coal, oil and natural gas and the depletion of energy resources, it is urgent to find energy technologies that are environmentally friendly and sustainable. Because of its high energy conversion efficiency, no pollution, no noise and other advantages, fuel cells have become a research hotspot all over the world. [0003] Fuel cell technologies include proton exchange membrane fuel cells, solid oxide fuel cells, metal air fuel cells, and alkaline anion exchange membrane fuel cells. As far as the current technology is concerned, proton exchange membrane fuel cells are expensive and limited by precious metal catalyst resources; solid oxide fuel cells need to be operated under high temperature conditions; m...
