Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a catalyst, and more particularly to a modified Rh crystal catalyst, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology
[0002] Direct methanol fuel cells are among the most promising clean energy devices. When the cell operates, the methanol oxidation reaction (MOR) occurs at the anode, and its efficiency directly determines the overall electrochemical conversion efficiency of the device. Currently, platinum-based nanomaterials are widely accepted electrocatalysts for methanol oxidation. However, platinum-based nanomaterials suffer from drawbacks such as limited resources, high cost, and susceptibility to methanol poisoning, which significantly hinder their large-scale commercial application. Therefore, the research and development of non-platinum electrocatalysts with high activity and high stability has broad application prospects and has become a hot research topic.
[0003] Studies have shown that Rh-based nanocrystals exhibit a more preferential MOR kinetic than Pt for the methanol oxidation reaction, making them a promising class of electrocatalysts. To further enhance the catalytic activity of Rh-based nanocrystals, morphological and crystal facet control is an effective approach. Among them, nanocrystals with a five-fold twin structure exhibit higher reactivity than those with low-index crystal faces due to their clearly defined high-index crystal faces and surface tensile strain. However, obtaining Rh nanocrystals with a five-fold twin structure remains a significant challenge due to the excellent thermal stability and readily available low surface energy of metallic Rh. Furthermore, the methanol oxidation reaction readily produces the intermediate product CO, which adsorbs onto the surface of Rh nanocrystals, causing poisoning and deactivation, thus greatly limiting the development of Rh-based electrocatalysts. Summary of the Invention
[0004] Objectives of the Invention: The first objective of this invention is to provide a modified Rh crystal catalyst that improves the electrocatalytic performance and stability of crystalline oxygen reduction; the second objective of this invention is to provide a method for preparing the modified Rh crystal catalyst; and the third objective of this invention is to provide the application of the modified Rh crystal catalyst in fuel cell catalysts.
[0005] Technical solution: The modified Rh crystal catalyst of the present invention includes a support Rh decahedral twin and Ru single atoms supported on the Rh decahedron, wherein Rh is zero-valent and Ru exists in divalent form.
[0006] Preferably, the catalyst contains 2-10% Ru atoms.
[0007] The preparation method of the modified Rh crystal catalyst of the present invention includes the following steps:
[0008] (1) Polyvinylpyrrolidone was dissolved in tetraethylene glycol solvent, stirred and preheated at 250-270°C, and then rhodium salt was slowly added to the reaction to obtain black Rh decahedral twins.
[0009] (2) Disperse the powder obtained in step (1) and ruthenium salt in an aqueous solvent, mix them evenly, add activated carbon, disperse them evenly, calcine them at high temperature under a nitrogen atmosphere, and cool to obtain the final product.
[0010] In step (1), tetraethylene glycol is used as the solvent, polyvinylpyrrolidone is used as the morphology directing agent, and rhodium acetylacetonate (C) is used as the solvent. 15 H 21 O6Rh) is a metal precursor salt. Rh decahedral twins are synthesized based on a solvothermal method. The mixture is first preheated at 250-270℃ to allow polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) to dissolve more fully in tetraethylene glycol, and then reacted at this temperature to obtain Rh decahedral twins.
[0011] Preferably, in step (1), the reaction time is 3 to 24 hours; the rhodium salt is rhodium acetylacetonate, and the mass ratio of polyvinylpyrrolidone to rhodium acetylacetonate is (20 to 100):1.
[0012] Preferably, in step (2), the high-temperature calcination temperature is 200-500℃, the heating rate is 1-5℃ / min, and the calcination time is 1-4 hours.
[0013] Preferably, the ruthenium salt is K4[Ru(CN)6], and the mass ratio of the Rh decahedral twin to K4[Ru(CN)6] is 5:1 to 4.
[0014] In step (2), ruthenium salt K4[Ru(CN)6] is used as an example, and [Ru(CN)6] is adsorbed using an electrostatic adsorption method. 4- The resulting [Ru(CN)6] is loaded onto an Rh decahedron. 4- @Rh is ultrasonically loaded onto activated carbon, calcined at high temperature in an inert atmosphere, and then cooled to obtain the final product Ru SAs@Rh Dhs. Activated carbon serves as the dispersion medium, dispersing [Ru(CN)6]. 4- @Rh loaded on activated carbon facilitates calcination and maintains good dispersion of crystal particles. Pure metals tend to agglomerate after calcination and have poor conductivity.
[0015] The application of the modified Rh crystal catalyst described in this invention in fuel cell catalysts.
[0016] Mechanism of Invention: Traditional single-atom alloys often lack regular morphology and crystal faces, resulting in low activity of the metal support itself and limited regulation of single-atom sites. The modified Rh crystal catalyst Ru SAs@Rh Dhs of this invention has a well-defined and regular five-fold twin structure with ten high-index (211) twin interfaces, inherently possessing high intrinsic activity. Furthermore, the twin surface has strong tensile stress, which enhances the adsorption of oxygen-containing intermediates and promotes MOR kinetics. The uniformly dispersed Ru single atoms on the Rh decahedron have excellent water-splitting ability. The OH- produced by decomposition can not only act as reactants to drive MOR kinetics but also help promote the conversion of CO to CO2 on the Rh decahedron. Moreover, Ru exists in single-atom form, which can minimize the obscuring of the surface atoms of the Rh decahedral twins, greatly reducing the mass-specific activity loss.
[0017] Beneficial effects: Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following significant advantages: (1) The catalyst uses decahedral rhodium crystal as a support and loads single-atom ruthenium on the decahedron. Through the improvement of the rhodium crystal structure and the synergistic effect with ruthenium, its electrocatalytic performance and stability for methanol oxidation are improved; (2) The preparation method is simple and easy to industrialize; (3) When applied to methanol fuel cells, it exhibits beneficial activity and excellent electrochemical durability. It can promote the CO generated during the methanol oxidation reaction and extend the service life of the catalyst. It is a fuel cell catalyst with great potential and broad application prospects in the future energy industry. Attached Figure Description
