Abstract

The invention belongs to the technical field of new energy, and relates to an electrocatalyst for cathodes of fuel cells and metal-air cells, in particular to a core-shell platinum-based alloy electrocatalyst with high oxygen reduction performance and a preparation method of the core-shell platinum-based alloy electrocatalyst. The preparation method comprises the following steps: 1) adding a platinum compound and a transition metal compound into oleylamine, introducing oxygen-containing gas into the reaction system, and conducting heating in an oxidizing atmosphere to carry out a first-stage reaction, then switching the oxidizing atmosphere into an inert atmosphere, continuously conducting heating to carry out a second-stage reaction, conducting cooling after the reaction is finished, andconducting washing to obtain a product; and 2) carrying out electrochemical dealloying treatment on the product to obtain the core-shell platinum-based alloy electrocatalyst, wherein in the step 1), the first-stage reaction time and the second-stage reaction time are not zero at the same time. According to the preparation method, a segmented copolymer represented by PVP and the like is not added as a protective agent, and the Pt-based alloy electrocatalyst is prepared simply by switching atmosphere regulation.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of new energy, and relates to an electrocatalyst for a cathode of a fuel cell and a metal-air battery, in particular to a core-shell platinum-based alloy electrocatalyst with high oxygen reduction performance and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] Fuel cells and metal-air batteries are considered to be efficient and environmentally friendly energy conversion and storage devices. However, the slow kinetics of the cathodic oxygen reduction reaction and the high price of Pt catalyst hinder its large-scale application. Therefore, it is imperative to design and develop high-performance low-Pt electrocatalysts. Effective methods include: (1) alloying, that is, to improve the performance of the catalyst by forming an alloy of Pt with a transition metal. The introduction of transition metals reduces the amount of Pt on the one hand, and moderately weakens the adsorption energy of Pt and ox...
