Method for preparing Fe-N-C carbonaceous oxygen reduction catalyst through solvothermal method

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for preparing a Fe-N-C carbonaceous oxygen reduction catalyst through the solvothermal method. The method is characterized by comprising the following steps: grindinga carbonaceous material into powders, mixing the powders with phthalocyanine iron, adding normal hexane into the mixture to prepare a suspension liquid, carrying out ultrasonic vibration to achieve uniform distribution of the carbonaceous powders and sufficient dissolution of the phthalocyanine iron, adding the suspension liquid into a high-temperature reaction kettle for solvothermal reaction, and carrying out natural cooling after the reaction to obtain the catalyst; and carrying out suction filtration and washing on the catalyst through a sufficient amount of absolute ethyl alcohol to remove the remaining unreacted phthalocyanine iron, and carrying out drying to obtain catalyst powders. The method provided by the invention has the advantages that the phthalocyanine iron is used as a Fesource and an N source, so that the operation is convenient, environmental pollution is avoided, and good doping effects are achieved; further high-temperature pyrolysis is not required, so that a catalyst preparation process is greatly simplified, and the catalyst preparation cost is reduced; and both the catalytic activity and the stability of the catalyst exceed those of the Pt/C catalyst, so that the catalyst can be widely applied in fields such as energy, chemical engineering and environmental protection.

Problems solved by technology

[0003] Existing oxygen reduction electrocatalysts face a series of problems such as complex oxygen reduction reaction pathways, slow oxygen reduction kinetics, and high overpotentials, which limit the energy efficiency and power generation capacity of fuel cells.

Although the traditional high-activity noble metal catalyst Pt has promoted the practical application of fuel cells, there are still the following problems for the expansion, commercialization and large-scale use of fuel cells: Pt metal is expensive, has little reserves, is easy to be poisoned, and is easy to fall off Dissolution, poor stability, etc.
