Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of new energy technology and relates to an electrocatalyst for fuel cell cathodes, specifically to a platinum-based electrocatalyst using nitrogen-doped carbon semiconductors as a support and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] Fuel cells are energy conversion devices with advantages such as high energy density, high utilization rate, and clean and quiet operation. Platinum-supported carbon black (Pt / C) remains the most practical commercial catalyst. However, the slow kinetics of the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) at the fuel cell cathode, the high Pt content, the limited and expensive nature of Pt resources, and the poor electrochemical stability of Pt / C catalysts severely hinder the practical application of fuel cells. Therefore, designing and developing low-cost and high-performance ORR electrocatalysts is an important research topic in the field of fuel cell technology.

[0003] Early fuel cells used platinum black as a catalyst; however, platinum black (Pt) readily agglomerates and dissolves in practice, exhibiting very poor fuel cell performance. Researchers then loaded Pt nanoparticles onto carbon black, which has a high specific surface area and high electrical conductivity, successfully making the Pt nanoparticles smaller. Furthermore, due to their dispersion on the high specific surface area carbon black surface, the stacking of Pt nanoparticles is reduced, improving surface atom utilization. Further, it has been found that heteroatom doping in carbon supports can create active centers and improve catalyst activity. For example, nitrogen (N)-doped carbon materials are widely studied due to their abundant reserves, excellent catalytic activity, and high electronic conductivity. Simultaneously, the N-containing functional groups introduced into carbon materials can bond strongly with metals, facilitating more uniform and stable dispersion of metal catalysts on the carbon material surface. Continuously reducing Pt usage while maintaining fuel cell performance is a persistent pursuit in the industry, and significant progress has been made in recent years. However, further reductions in Pt usage require structural innovation in catalyst technology. Therefore, the preparation of novel carbon supports with heteroatom doping structures is of great significance for improving catalyst activity and stability. Summary of the Invention

[0040] To better understand the present invention, the following embodiments are further illustrations of the present invention, but the content of the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments.

[0041] The above solution will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments. The preferred embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below:

[0042] Example 1

[0043] In this embodiment, a platinum-based electrocatalyst using nitrogen-doped carbon semiconductors as a support is described. The nitrogen-doped carbon semiconductors are used as the support, and platinum-based nanoparticles are used as the active particles of the catalyst. The platinum-based nanoparticles are uniformly distributed on the surface of the nitrogen-doped carbon semiconductors to form a platinum-based electrocatalyst with a carbon support structure doped with heteroatoms.

[0044] In this embodiment, a method for preparing a platinum-based electrocatalyst using nitrogen-doped carbon semiconductors as a support includes the following steps:

[0045] (1) Weigh 0.016 mol of hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide and dissolve it in water. Then, dissolve 1 g of m-phenylenediamine, add hydrochloric acid containing 0.1 mol of hydrogen chloride and 0.01 mol of ammonium persulfate, and carry out oxidative polymerization reaction for 24 h. Filter the product solution, collect the polymerization product, wash and dry the obtained polymerization product, and then place the clean and dry polymerization product under argon protection and carry out high-temperature pyrolysis at 900 °C for 3 h to obtain nitrogen-doped carbon half-tubes, which can be used as carrier materials for later use.

[0046] (2) Dissolve 0.0772 mmol of H2PtCl6 and 0.8 mmol of NaOH in ethylene glycol to obtain a reaction mixture. Place the reaction mixture in a microwave reactor and microwave it at 160°C for 2 min with a power of 160 W to obtain platinum nanoparticles. Purify them with 1 M hydrochloric acid and use them as catalyst active materials for later use.

[0047] (3) The platinum-based nanoparticles prepared in step (2) are thoroughly mixed with the nitrogen-doped carbon half-tubes prepared in step (1) to obtain a platinum-based electrocatalyst with nitrogen-doped carbon half-tubes as the support.

[0048] Test characterization:

[0049] The SEM results of the nitrogen-doped carbon semiconductor prepared in step (1) of this embodiment are as follows: Figure 1 As shown, the diameter of the nitrogen-doped carbon half-tube is 80–90 nm. Figure 2As shown, the powder XRD patterns of the prepared nitrogen-doped carbon semitube platinum-supported catalyst, Pt / C, and nitrogen-doped carbon semitube support show that the nitrogen-doped carbon semitube support exhibits only two carbon diffraction peaks at ~24° and 43°, while the nitrogen-doped carbon semitube platinum-supported catalyst and the commercial Pt / C catalyst exhibit typical platinum metal characteristic peaks. The TEM results of the nitrogen-doped carbon semitube platinum-supported catalyst are shown below. Figure 3 As shown, platinum particles are uniformly dispersed on the surface of nitrogen-doped carbon semiconductors, and the size of the platinum nanoparticles is 2-3 nm.

[0050] like Figure 4 As shown, the surface composition of the nitrogen-doped carbon semitube platinum-supported catalyst prepared in this embodiment is compared with that of the commercial Pt / C catalyst using Pt 4fXPS. The binding energy peak position of Pt 4f5 / 2 in the Pt / tube sample is 75 eV, and the peak position of Pt 4f7 / 2 is 71.6 eV. Compared with the corresponding peak positions of commercial Pt / C, the peak positions are shifted to lower energy directions by about 0.3 eV, indicating that less Pt oxide is formed in the Pt / tube compared to Pt / C. 0 The proportion of Pt / tube was 57%, higher than that of Pt / C (52%). Meanwhile, the nitrogen element in the sample included five types: pyridine-N, pyrrole-N, graphitic-N, Pt-N, and nitrogen oxide.

[0051] Next, the electrochemical performance of the nitrogen-doped carbon semi-tube supported platinum catalyst and the commercial Pt / C catalyst were tested. A standard three-electrode system was used, with a platinum sheet as the counter electrode and a saturated calomel electrode as the reference electrode. Oxygen reduction reaction tests were conducted in an oxygen-saturated 0.1M HClO4 electrolyte at an electrode rotation speed of 1600 rpm and a scan rate of 5 mV / s. Figure 5 As shown, the polarization curve results indicate that the half-wave potential of the oxygen reduction reaction of the nitrogen-doped carbon semitube-supported platinum catalyst is 0.89 V (vs. RHE), which is superior to that of commercial Pt / C catalysts.

[0052] Furthermore, the stability of the catalyst was tested: the prepared working electrode was subjected to initial cyclic voltammetry and oxygen reduction polarization curve testing. Then, the working electrode was placed in oxygen-saturated 0.1M HClO4 electrolyte, and a full potential range scan of 0.6–1.1 V (vs. RHE) was performed at a scan rate of 100 mV / s. After 10,000 cycles, the oxygen reduction polarization curve was tested again. Before and after 10,000 cycles: the half-wave potential of the ORR polarization curve of the nitrogen-doped carbon semi-tube platinum catalyst decreased slightly, only by 9 mV. Figure 6 As shown, the ORR polarization curve of the commercial Pt / C catalyst shows a 27 mV decrease in half-wave potential. (See [reference]). Figure 7 The above results demonstrate that the prepared nitrogen-doped carbon semi-tube platinum-supported catalyst exhibits excellent cycling stability.
