Abstract

The invention belongs to the field of nano materials, and discloses an atomic-scale iron active site catalyst as well as a preparation method and application thereof. The preparation method provided by the invention comprises the following steps: 1) preparing ferricyanide dimethylimidazole ionic liquid; 2) constructing a core-shell structure precursor with uniformly dispersed iron ions; and 3) preparing the atomic-scale iron active site catalyst. The atomic-scale iron active site catalyst obtained by the preparation method disclosed by the invention is microporous nanospheres loaded with atomic-scale iron active sites comprising Fe-N4 ligands and Fe3 clusters. The catalyst is low in density, high in stability and resistant to acid and alkali corrosion; porous properties are also exhibited;the reaction activation energy can be greatly reduced, the electron / ion transfer and the mass transfer rate of an intermediate product are accelerated, and thus, the catalytic activity and the cycling stability of the catalyst are improved, and the maximum atom utilization rate (100%) is realized; and the catalyst is suitable for being used as a catalyst material for electrocatalytic oxygen reduction (ORR) and oxygen evolution (OER) reactions in fuel cells and metal-air cells.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of nanometer materials, and in particular relates to an atomic-level iron active site catalyst and its preparation method and application. Background technique [0002] Fuel cells and metal-air batteries are based on the positive side O 2 Two important types of electrochemical energy storage and conversion devices that convert chemical energy into electrical energy are characterized by reduction reaction (ORR) and precipitation reaction (OER). The large-scale applications of fuel cells and metal-air batteries face great challenges due to the limitations of the positive-side ORR and OER hysteresis kinetics (high overpotential) and electrode polarization. Both ORR and OER belong to multiple electron transfer reactions, involving the breaking and rearrangement of chemical bonds, and the reactions are mostly carried out in corrosive or oxidizing environments. In order to promote the rapid progress of the electrode react...
