Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of preparation of high-performance new energy nanoelectrode materials and fuel cell applications, and specifically to a preparation method and application of a high-melting-point metal microalloyed platinum-based medium-entropy alloy catalyst, and more particularly to a preparation method of a W microalloyed PtCuCo medium-entropy alloy catalyst and its application in fuel cells. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, with the rapid development of society, the extensive use of traditional fossil fuels has caused serious environmental pollution and energy shortages. Proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) have attracted widespread attention as a clean and sustainable new energy source. Hydrogen-oxygen fuel cells (PEMFCs) produce only water as a reaction product, without any pollution or carbon dioxide emissions, making them environmentally friendly and sustainable. Therefore, from the perspectives of energy conservation and ecological protection, hydrogen-oxygen fuel cells are a highly promising new energy technology. However, the large-scale commercial application of hydrogen-oxygen fuel cells is hampered by the very slow kinetics of the cathode oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). Therefore, efficient catalysts are needed to reduce the reaction energy barrier and accelerate the reaction. Currently, the most widely used commercial Pt / C catalyst is severely limited by the low reserves, high cost, and poor durability of metallic platinum. High-alloying of platinum with other elements is a feasible approach to significantly enhance its ORR catalytic performance and activity stability. Medium-entropy alloys, formed by alloying three to four elements, can produce strong lattice distortion and delayed diffusion effects, while also possessing structural stability driven by high mixing entropy. This invention uniquely utilizes the microalloying mechanism of high-melting-point metals such as tungsten to enrich trace amounts of W at specific sites such as grain boundaries and step surfaces in the alloy, leveraging its microstructural end-stabilization and performance regulation functions to produce, for the first time, a medium-entropy alloy catalyst with high activity and stability. The W-microalloyed PtCuCo medium-entropy alloy catalyst disclosed in this patent has a specific mass activity nine times that of commercial Pt / C. In a 30,000-cycle long-term stability performance test, its specific mass activity only decreased by 3%, and the peak power density of hydrogen-oxygen fuel cells reached 2.1Wcm -2 , the specific mass power density is as high as 21W mg Pt -1 , which is higher than commercial Pt / C. Therefore, the W microalloyed PtCuCo medium-entropy alloy catalyst prepared by the present invention is of great significance for promoting the large-scale commercial application of fuel cells. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The present invention aims to provide a method for preparing a high-melting-point metal microalloyed medium-entropy alloy catalyst with high electrocatalytic activity and stability, and its application in fuel cells. This preparation method is simple and rapid, enabling large-scale production of the catalyst. The PtCuCo medium-entropy alloy catalyst, microalloyed with the high-melting-point metal tungsten (W), exhibits a half-wave potential exceeding that of commercial Pt / C catalysts by 69 mV in catalyzing the oxygen reduction reaction in an acidic environment, and its specific mass activity reaches 1.14 A mg pt -1 , which is 9 times that of commercial Pt / C. In the long-term stability test, the half-wave potential dropped by only 12mV, and the specific mass activity decreased by only 3%. The peak power density of hydrogen and oxygen fuel cells reached 2.1W cm -2 , the specific mass power density is as high as 21W mg Pt -1 .

[0004] The present invention relates to a method for preparing a W-microalloyed PtCuCo medium-entropy alloy catalyst. The method comprises the following steps: firstly preparing carbon black-supported copper nanowires (Cu@C), then reducing Pt, Co and W and doping them into the copper nanowires by using an electrochemical replacement-assisted polyol thermal reduction method, nano-alloying driven by high mixing entropy (electrochemical / chemical energy) between the metals, and then acid etching the alloy to finally obtain the W-microalloyed PtCuCo medium-entropy alloy catalyst. The catalyst is a solid powder, and the W-microalloyed PtCuCo medium-entropy alloy is uniformly distributed on the carbon black carrier. The medium-entropy alloy morphology presents a nano-worm-like shape, and the diameter of the medium-entropy alloy nano-worm-like one-dimensional structure is 2.5 to 6.5 nm. The W-microalloyed PtCuCo medium-entropy alloy has a face-centered cubic crystal structure, is a single alloy phase, and has a large number of W-terminated surface step-like structures on its surface.

[0005] The atomic percentage of W in the W microalloyed PtCuCo mesoentropy alloy is 1% to 3%, the atomic percentage of Pt is 35% to 45%, the atomic percentage of Cu is 35% to 45%, the atomic percentage of Co is 9% to 27%, and the mass ratio of the W microalloyed PtCuCo mesoentropy alloy in the entire catalyst is 25% to 60%.

By controlling the concentration of a certain metal salt, the pH of the reaction solution is adjusted to 8-10. The electrochemical replacement reaction between the above-mentioned metal salts and Cu nanowires and the thermochemical reaction of the polyol are used to electrochemically and chemically reduce Pt, Co, and W under certain reaction temperature and reaction time conditions, and then dope them into the interior of the sacrificial template copper nanowires. The nano-alloying driven by the high mixing entropy (electrochemical / chemical energy) between the metals is used to realize the preparation of PtCuCo medium-entropy alloy nanomaterials containing trace amounts of W doping and stability.

[0009] (3) Regulation of the surface step-like structure of W-microalloyed stabilized medium-entropy alloy materials. In order to achieve a large amount of exposure of the specific electrocatalytic active surface of the W-stabilized medium-entropy alloy, the above alloy nanomaterials were etched in a special acid of a certain concentration at 60°C for a certain time to remove copper and part of the cobalt elements on the alloy surface, and finally a W-stabilized medium-entropy alloy material with a large number of surface step-like structures was obtained.
