Problems solved by technology

[0003] At present, commercial Pt / C is an ideal electrocatalyst in oxygen reduction electrocatalysts, but the low reserves of Pt (only 66000t) and high cost limit its large-scale application. Corrosion causes the dissolution and agglomeration of Pt particles, resulting in a serious reduction in catalyst activity, and the dissolution of Pt is an anode reaction, which will generate a mixed potential on the cathode, which will cause a negative shift in the reversible potential of oxygen reduction (ORR) to stabilize the catalyst. It is reported that the activity of Pt / C catalyst is reduced by 15% after 3 hours of circulation (Small 2018, 14, 1703459)
In order to solve the problems of low reserves, high cost, and poor stability of Pt in commercial Pt / C, it has been reported that the metal oxide TiO with better stability 2 、Ti 4 o 7 and Ti 3 o 5 Doping noble metals Ir, Pd, Pt, etc. (Journal of Catalysis 358 (2018) 287–294, Applied Catalysis B: Environmental 201 (2017) 419–429), but the addition of noble metals makes the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in the cathode The overpotential is high. In order to overcome the problem of high potential, it is necessary to increase the load of the catalyst, which leads to an increase in the reaction cost.
In addition, it has been reported that binary or ternary alloys formed by transition metals are used as electrocatalysts (J PhysChem B, 2002, 106:1869-1877p). These catalysts have higher oxygen reduction activity than commercial Pt / C, but It will poison the proton exchange membrane of the battery and affect the performance of the battery
