Abstract

The invention discloses an oxygen reduction electrocatalyst material and a preparation method thereof. The catalytic active component of the catalyst is one or more of ZrN, a ZrN composite material and a ZrN doped material; anhydrous zirconium chloride is used as a metal source, and dissolved in an absolute ethyl alcohol solution; then, a certain amount of urea is added, and after uniformly mixing, a colloidal precursor is obtained; and the obtained precursor is placed in a protective atmosphere for high-temperature roasting and nitriding, and a pure-phase zirconium nitride nanoparticle catalyst is obtained. The applicant finds that zirconium nitride, especially a cubic phase zirconium nitride material, has excellent oxygen reduction electrocatalytic performance, can replace precious metalPt in a fuel cell to serve as a cathode catalyst, and has the characteristics of low cost, high activity and high stability.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of electrocatalytic materials, in particular to an oxygen reduction electrocatalyst material and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] The energy issue is one of the biggest issues in the 21st century and an important material basis for economic growth and social development. The development and utilization of renewable resources (solar energy, wind energy and tidal energy, etc.) is one of the important ways to solve the energy crisis and environmental pollution. However, the intermittent nature of these energy sources urgently requires the development of advanced energy conversion, storage technologies and devices. More and more scientific researchers have spared no effort to find sustainable energy devices, such as fuel cells, solar cells, metal-air batteries, lithium-ion batteries, supercapacitors and so on. As a new type of energy, fuel cells do not emit pollutants during operation...
