Method used

Fig. 8 and Fig. 9 are respectively the linear sweep voltammetry curve and the half-wave potential diagram of electrocatalyst prepared in embodiment 4 and commercial Pt/C electrocatalyst modified electrode, as can be seen from Fig. 8 and Fig. 9, The catalytic activity of the electrocatalyst obtained in Example 4 is comparable to that of commercial Pt/C, its limiting current density and half-wave potential are better than those of commercial Pt/C, and its cycle stability is significantly better than that of commercial Pt/C. Non-precious metal electrocatalysts to replace commercial Pt/C are of great significance to promote the development of fuel cells and metal-air batteries. In addition, it is found from the research that our transition metal/nitrogen-doped porous carbon nanosphere electrocatalyst has good methanol tolerance.
In a specific embodiment, nitrogen element and carbon element are in the ortho position in the periodic table of elements, and its atomic radius is close to the radius of carbon atom, so the doping of nitrogen element has less influence on the lattice distortion of carbon material . Adding a certain amount of nitrogen to the porous carbon material will, on the one hand, increase the surface charge density of the porous carbon material, and increase the defect sites of the porous carbon material, thereby enhancing the activity in electrochemical or electrocatalytic reactions. On the other hand, the nitrogen functional group of the porous carbon material makes it easier for the porous carbon material to combine with heavy metal ions, thereby facilitating the metal ions to disperse more uniformly on the surface of the carbon material in subsequent steps. However, excessive nitrogen source disturbs the assembly process of γ-cyclodextrin and triblock copolymer F127, leading to self-polymerization or polycondensation of the precursor solution. In a specific embodiment, when the molar ratio of γ-cyclodextrin to p-phenylenediamine is 1:1-4:1, a transition met...
