Abstract

The invention discloses an oxygen reduction catalyst for a cathode of a fuel cell and a preparation method of an ordered electrode of the fuel cell. An iron-nitrogen-carbon composite material with high oxygen reduction activity is obtained by adopting silica microspheres as a hard template, adding a carbon source, carrying out high-temperature treatment in an inert atmosphere or ammonia atmosphere, etching the template to obtain 3D interconnected hollow carbon spheres and further introducing an iron source and a nitrogen source. The iron-nitrogen-carbon composite material prepared by the method has the characteristics of being hierarchical, porous, uniform in catalytic active site distribution, high in specific surface area, and good in oxygen reduction property in an acid-base system. The method further comprises the following steps: a silica template is uniformly deposited on carbon paper, and then an integral electrode is constructed in situ by employing the preparation method of the iron-nitrogen-carbon composite material. The iron-nitrogen-carbon hollow interconnection structure in the electrode is regularly arranged and has a good transmission channel for multiple substances of electrons, protons, electrolytes, gases and the like; and the utilization rate of catalytic active sites is greatly improved, thereby improving the oxygen reduction property of the electrode. The electrode has better oxygen reduction reaction electrocatalytic activity than the electrode prepared by a traditional spraying method.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an oxygen reduction catalyst, which belongs to the field of proton exchange membrane fuel cells, in particular to a non-noble metal catalyst used for fuel cell cathode oxygen reduction reaction and preparation of ordered electrodes thereof. Background technique [0002] Cathode oxygen reduction reaction (Oxygen reduction reaction, ORR) is one of the key components of fuel cells, but its kinetic process is slow, the overpotential is high, and its stability is poor. Excellent ORR electrocatalysts are needed to ensure the performance of fuel cells. Therefore, the development of ORR electrocatalysts with excellent performance is a hot spot and focus in the field of fuel cell research. At present, the ORR electrocatalyst mainly uses noble metal platinum or platinum ruthenium as the catalyst, but the noble metal platinum or platinum ruthenium catalyst has serious problems such as high price, poor stability, and easy poisoning. In th...
