Embodiment 1

[0092] Embodiment 1 (Pt catalyst) :

[0093] [Manufacture of Pt catalyst]

[0094] 996.42 mL of dinitrosodiammine platinum nitric acid solutions (Pt content: 50.00 g) and 3793 mL of pure water were put into the manufacturing container. Then, while the carbon fine powder (specific surface area 800m 2 / g, trade name: KB) 50.00 g was crushed and added. Then, 540 mL (10.8 volume %) of modified alcohol (95% ethanol + 5% methanol) was added and mixed as a reducing agent. The mixed solution was refluxed at about 95° C. for 6 hours to reduce Pt. Thereafter, filtration, drying (60° C. for 15 hours), and washing were performed.

[0095] [heat treatment]

[0096] The Pt catalyst is heat-treated. Regarding the heat treatment, the heat treatment temperature was set to 1050° C. for 2 hours in 100% hydrogen gas. Through this heat treatment, the Pt catalyst as Example 1 was obtained. The loading density of the platinum catalyst was 52%. The average particle diameter of the catalyst...

Embodiment 2

[0097] Embodiment 2 (Pt-Co alloy catalyst):

[0098] The Pt—Co alloy catalyst was produced by supporting Co on the Pt catalyst which was a precursor before heat treatment obtained in the production process of the Pt catalyst in Example 1, and performing alloying.

[0099] [Load of Co]

[0100] The Pt catalyst as a precursor was impregnated with cobalt chloride (CoCl 2 ·6H 2 O) 1.6 g was dissolved in a metal salt solution obtained by dissolving 100 mL of ion-exchanged water, and stirred with a magnetic stirrer. Then, 500 mL of a sodium borohydride (SBH) solution having a concentration of 1% by mass was added dropwise to the solution, stirred, and subjected to a reduction treatment to support Co on the Pt catalyst. Then, filter, wash, and dry.

[0101] [Alloying heat treatment]

[0102] Heat treatment for alloying is performed on the Co-loaded Pt catalyst. Regarding this heat treatment, the heat treatment temperature was set to 1000° C. in 100% hydrogen gas, and the heat...

Embodiment 3

[0106] Embodiment 3 (Pt-Co-Mn alloy catalyst) :

[0107] The Pt—Co—Mn alloy catalyst was produced by supporting Co and Mn on the Pt catalyst precursor of Example 1, alloying it, and treating it with a fluorine compound to form a water-repellent layer.

[0108] [Load of Co and Mn]

[0109] The precursor Pt catalyst was impregnated with cobalt chloride (CoCl 2 -6H 2 O) 1.6g and manganese chloride (MnCl 2 4H 2 O) 0.8 g of both were dissolved in a metal salt solution obtained by dissolving 100 mL of ion-exchanged water, and stirred with a magnetic stirrer. Then, 500 mL of a sodium borohydride (SBH) solution having a concentration of 1% by mass was added dropwise to the solution, stirred, and subjected to a reduction treatment to support Co and Mn on the Pt catalyst. Then, filter, wash, and dry.

[0110] For the Pt catalyst loaded with Co and Mn, alloying heat treatment was performed under the same conditions as in Example 2. Furthermore, the oxidative solution treatment w...

Abstract

The present invention pertains to a catalyst which is for a solid polymer fuel cell, in which catalyst particles containing Pt as an essential catalyst metal are supported on a carbon powder support,and which has good characteristics in terms of both initial activity and durability. This catalyst is characterized in that when the catalyst is analyzed by X-ray photoemission spectroscopy after being held at a potential of 1.2 V (vs. RHE) for 10 minutes in a perchloric acid solution, the proportion of zero-valent Pt to all Pt is 75-95%. In the present invention, the catalyst metal is preferablyan alloy of Pt with any of Co, Ni, and Fe, and further, with any of Mn, Ti, Zr, and Sn. In addition, a fluorine compound having a C-F bond on at least the surface of the catalyst particles is preferably supported in an amount of 3-20 mass% with respect to the mass of the catalyst overall.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a catalyst for solid polymer fuel cells. In particular, it relates to a catalyst useful for use in a cathode (air electrode) of a solid polymer fuel cell. Background technique [0002] The practical use of fuel cells, once called the next-generation power generation system, has become a reality, and it is now at a stage where its popularization should be sought. There are several types of fuel cells, and among them, solid polymer type fuel cells have the advantages of low operating temperature and small size. In addition, due to these advantages, solid polymer fuel cells are expected to be promising as power sources for automobiles and households. A solid polymer fuel cell has a stacked structure composed of a hydrogen electrode (anode), an air electrode (cathode), and a solid polymer electrolyte membrane sandwiched between these electrodes. Then, fuel containing hydrogen is supplied to the hydrogen electrode, oxygen...
