Problems solved by technology

However, the catalytic performance and stability of these catalysts under acidic conditions are far from those of Pt-based catalysts.
Therefore, there are still great challenges in the development of highly active and stable non-noble metal oxygen reduction catalysts suitable for acidic conditions.
In addition, the preparation methods of non-precious metal-based catalysts reported so far are complicated, more suitable for laboratory research, and not convenient for industrial production.

Abstract

The invention discloses a catalyst used for cathode reaction of a fuel cell and a preparation method thereof. Firstly, an imidazole compound and zinc nitrate are treated in a solution, in a standing manner, to prepare a porous metal organic framework; then transition metal ions are adsorbed by the metal organic framework; further, high temperature treatment is carried out to reduce the transitionmetal ions into metal nanoparticles having uniform particle size and being coated with a carbon layer, thus preparing the catalyst. The non-noble metal composite catalyst is prepared with the metal organic framework and inorganic salt being precursors, so that on the basis of guaranteeing catalytic activity and stability of the catalyst, the cost of the catalyst is reduced. The method is simple and is suitable for industrial production.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a catalyst for fuel cell cathode oxygen reduction reaction and a preparation method thereof, in particular to a catalyst composed of transition metal (cobalt, iron) nano particles and a carbon substrate as a composite component. Background technique [0002] Fuel cells are a new type of energy supply equipment with a series of advantages such as high energy density and high environmental friendliness of products. However, fuel cells have not been applied on a large scale in the current industrial production, and one of the main reasons is that the cost of fuel cells is too high. Among them, in the cathode part where the oxygen reduction reaction occurs, the amount of Pt accounts for 80% of the total amount, which greatly increases the cost and becomes a bottleneck problem for its popularization. Compared with Pt-based catalysts, non-precious metal catalysts have better application prospects due to their low cost and abundant r...
