Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of catalyst technology, specifically relating to a method for preparing a polyacrylamide-based single-atom oxygen reduction catalyst and its application. Background Technology

[0002] In today's era, global warming, energy depletion, and the massive consumption of fossil fuels have attracted widespread attention, leading to extensive research focused on developing sustainable and green energy technologies. As a promising alternative to traditional fossil fuels, fuel cells have garnered significant interest due to their high energy density and environmental friendliness. The energy conversion efficiency of fuel cells is primarily limited by the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) at the cathode. Therefore, designing a rational and effective catalyst is crucial for addressing the crisis caused by fossil fuel consumption. Furthermore, high-performance OORR catalysts demonstrate immense application value and market potential in new energy vehicles, portable smart devices, and biomedical equipment.

[0003] Atomically dispersed transition metal-based catalysts (MNCs, M = Fe, Co, Ni, Zn, Cu, Mn) possess high atom utilization and excellent catalytic activity, making them the most promising candidates to replace noble metal-based catalysts. Among previously reported transition metal-based single-atom catalysts (SACs), Fe-NC catalysts exhibit the highest catalytic activity. Over the past decade, extensive research has focused on tuning the coordination environment and optimizing the pore structure of Fe-NC catalysts to further improve their performance. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), as an emerging type of crystalline porous material, possess ordered structures, controllable composition and porosity, and high specific surface area, and have been widely used as precursors / templates for Fe-NC catalysts. In particular, carbon-, nitrogen-rich, and microporous imidazolidinyl zeolite frameworks (ZIFs) have been widely used in the synthesis of Fe SACs.

[0004] However, the active centers of MOF-derived Fe-NC catalysts are typically in a four-coordinate structure of Fe-N4. The strong electronegativity of nitrogen affects the electronic properties of the active metal centers, thereby increasing the catalyst's free energy and hindering the adsorption and activation of oxygen reduction intermediates. Furthermore, the predominantly microporous structure of catalysts obtained from the pyrolysis of MOFs restricts the contact between active sites and accessible substances, significantly impacting mass transport and utilization at the active sites. Using MOFs as precursors / templates makes it difficult to achieve high performance by precisely tuning the local coordination environment and pore structure while easily preparing Fe SAC. Therefore, developing an excellent precursor capable of simultaneously altering electronic configuration and pore structure and easily synthesizing atomically dispersed oxygen reduction catalysts is highly attractive.
