Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of electrocatalysts, and in particular relates to a preparation method and application of a supported low-Pt core-shell fuel cell catalyst. Background Art

[0002] Hydrogen is an abundant, green, low-carbon, and widely applicable secondary energy source, and is gradually becoming a key driver of global energy transition. Proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) are currently a key research and development focus in hydrogen energy applications, but they still face challenges in commercialization, including waste heat generation, sensitivity to fuel impurities, expensive catalysts, and slow oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) rates. Catalysts account for over 30% of the total cost, as PEMFCs rely heavily on the precious metal Pt. However, Pt's high price and limited reserves have resulted in high manufacturing costs for PEMFCs, severely limiting their commercialization. The development of new, high-performance, low-cost catalysts is crucial for advancing fuel cell development. To reduce catalyst costs while maintaining high catalytic activity, strategies include designing low-Pt catalysts. These strategies include engineering the shape of catalytic particles to control the arrangement of surface atoms; increasing single-atom utilization; alloying Pt with relatively inexpensive transition metals (Ms) to modify the Pt electronic structure through ligand effects; and constructing core-shell structures to enhance Pt utilization. However, the synthesis process of electrocatalysts with controlled morphology is cumbersome, difficult to scale up, and single atoms have poor durability and are prone to deactivation. Dispersing Pt on the surface of non-platinum nanoparticles to form a core-shell catalyst can effectively improve the utilization efficiency of the precious metal platinum. Furthermore, due to the unique surface electronic structure and special interactions between the core and shell, Pt-based core-shell catalysts exhibit higher catalytic activity and stability.

[0003] Therefore, it is of great value and significance to develop a small-sized, simple and efficient preparation process and mass-producible supported low-Pt core-shell fuel cell catalyst. Summary of the Invention

The mixture was then placed in a water bath with a speed of 1000 rpm and a temperature of 0 ° C. First, a 10 mmol L -1 Aqueous copper nitrate solution (15 mL) and aqueous chloroauric acid solution (5 mL) were added to control the ratio of Cu atoms, Au atoms and Pt atoms to 3:1:3, and then 5 mL of aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution was added to control the pH to 7-8, and then 100 mL of 1 mmol L -1 The sodium borohydride aqueous solution was used as a reducing agent and the reaction was continued for 1 hour. 2 mL of 12 mol / L hydrochloric acid was added first, followed by sodium bicarbonate to adjust the pH to 7-8, and then 15 mL of chloroplatinic acid aqueous solution was added, followed by 50 mL of 1 mmol L -1The reaction was continued for 1 hour using a sodium borohydride aqueous solution as a reducing agent. The resulting mixed solution was filtered and washed until the filtrate was neutral. The solution was then dried at 70°C overnight and ground.
