Problems solved by technology

Although the commercial Pt / C catalyst has high catalytic activity, the corresponding preparation cost and stability have become the key issues affecting its application.
Pt / C catalysts are easily poisoned by CO intermediates in the reaction process, leading to performance degradation. The Pt in the catalyst is active for the oxidation of other organic compounds (such as methanol, ethanol, etc.) present in the fuel cell. When Pt / C materials are used as When used as a cathode catalyst for ORR, it may lead to mixed potentials, thereby reducing the overall performance of the battery

Abstract

The invention discloses a preparation method of a nitrogen-doped titanium-based aerogel electrocatalyst for an oxygen reduction reaction. The preparation method comprises the following steps of preparing wet gel from a carbon source, a titanium source and a nitrogen source by taking ethanol as a solvent and deionized water as a hydrolytic agent through an acid catalyst sol-gel process, carrying out solvent replacement and supercritical drying on the wet gel to obtain an N-RF / TiO2 composite aerogel precursor, and adjusting element composition and pore size distribution in the catalyst by changing a protective atmosphere and a carbon thermal reduction temperature, further adjusting and controlling the oxygen reduction catalysis capability of the catalyst, and acquiring more defect sites, so that the oxygen reduction activity is improved. The sol-gel process adopted by the invention can realize hydrolysis-polycondensation reaction on the molecular level, and has high controllability on material composition. The nitrogen-doped titanium-based aerogel catalyst material prepared by the invention has relatively low reaction resistance, the Tafel slope can be comparable with that of a Pt / C catalyst, and the nitrogen-doped titanium-based aerogel catalyst material is a potential cathode material of a fuel cell and a metal-air battery.
