Problems solved by technology

However, due to the high price of metal Pt and the reserves of only 66000t, it is an urgent problem to find an electrocatalyst that can replace metal Pt.
In addition, it has been reported that commercial Pt / C electrocatalysts have the following defects: (1) Pt nanoparticles will migrate and agglomerate on the carbon support; (2) Pt nanoparticles will dissolve and redeposit during the reaction process; (3) the cathode The air introduced into the air is generally not pure oxygen, but contains trace amounts of CO, H 2 Impurities such as S and hydrocarbons will be strongly adsorbed on the surface of the Pt / C electrocatalyst, preventing the oxygen reduction reaction and poisoning the Pt / C electrocatalyst; Shedding of nanoparticles (Carban, 2005, 43:1512-1516, J Catal, 1995, 154: 299-305, J PowerSources, 2006, 156: 128-141, Solid State Ionics, 2004, 175: 809-813)
In order to solve the problems of low reserves, high cost and poor stability of metal Pt existing in commercial Pt / C, it has been reported that titanium oxide TiO with better stability 2 、Ti 4 o 7 and Ti 3 o 5 Doped with 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 overpotential of the cathode in the oxygen reduction reaction relatively low. High, the increase in the load of the electrocatalyst leads to an increase in the reaction cost

Abstract

The invention discloses a preparation method of a g-C3N4 / Ti4O7 composite nano material and application of same in electrocatalytic oxygen reduction. The preparation method comprises the following steps: preparing g-C3N4 by using a high-temperature annealing method, preparing a g-C3N4 / TiO2 compound by using a hydrothermal reaction, and coating the surface of the g-C3N4 / TiO2 compound with a layer ofPDA to form a g-C3N4 / TiO2 / PDA composite precursor; and finally, annealing the g-C3N4 / TiO2 / PDA composite precursor at the temperature of 850-1000 DEG C in an inert environment to obtain the g-C3N4 / Ti4O7 composite nano material. The preparation method of the g-C3N4 / Ti4O7 composite nano material is simple, low in cost and environmentally friendly, and the particle size of Ti4O7 nano particles rangesfrom 10 nm to 30 nm. When the g-C3N4 / Ti4O7 composite nanomaterial is used as an oxygen reduction electrocatalyst, the g-C3N4 / Ti4O7 composite nanomaterial has high oxygen reduction activity, methanoltoxicity resistance and stability, and the problems of low commercial Pt / C reserves and high cost are solved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of nanometer materials, and in particular relates to a preparation method of an electrocatalyst, which is used for the oxygen reduction reaction of a cathode in a fuel cell. Background technique [0002] Energy issues have always plagued mankind, and people's demand for energy is increasing day by day. As a new technology with high efficiency and cleanliness, fuel cell has become the development hotspot in the field of new energy in the world today. Catalyst is a very important component in fuel cells, and its cost accounts for one-third of the cost of fuel cells. The most dominant reaction in the air cathode is the oxygen reduction reaction. The kinetics of the oxygen reduction reaction is very slow, and the main difficulty comes from the unusually strong O=O bond 498kJ / mol, which is difficult to break in the electrochemical state. Therefore, in order to accelerate the occurrence of oxygen reduction reac...
