Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of catalysts and relates to a method for preparing a fuel cell catalyst. Background Art

[0002] Fuel cells convert the chemical energy of a fuel and an oxidant into electrical energy through an electrochemical reaction. When the fuel is hydrogen and the oxidant is oxygen, the reaction produces only water, with some heat dissipation. Compared to thermal generators, fuel cells offer advantages such as high efficiency, no environmental pollution, and an unlimited source of reactants.

[0003] The development of electrode catalysts is an indispensable part of the research and development of fuel cell systems. Together with ion electrolyte membranes and bipolar plates, they constitute the three key materials of the fuel cell system. The most common ones are Pt-based catalysts. Pt nanocrystalline catalysts are the most effective catalysts for catalyzing the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). However, for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER), the catalytic activity of Pt nanocrystals is poor, which limits their widespread use. It is also worth noting that the synthesis conditions of catalysts with special alloy nanostructures with high activity are generally more complicated. At the same time, the utilization rate of catalyst metal particles in the existing technology is low, and the catalytic activity is poor.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to develop a new alloy catalyst with high catalytic activity that can be used in fuel cells. Summary of the Invention

[0009] The mesoporous carbon was dispersed in a nitric acid solution and stirred at 80-95°C for 6-12 hours. After the stirring, the solid was filtered to obtain a solid. The solid was washed with deionized water three times and then washed until neutral to obtain the pretreated mesoporous carbon. The amount ratio of the mesoporous carbon to the nitric acid solution was 10 mg: 1 mL.

[0010] S2. Vector preparation:

[0011] S2.1. NaH2PO2·H2O and titanium dioxide were mixed in a mass ratio of 20:3, and ground at a speed of 400 r / min for 3 h to obtain a solid powder. The solid powder was then placed in a tube furnace and calcined at 450-550°C for 1-2 h under an argon atmosphere. The temperature was further increased to 700°C for heat treatment for 2-3 h. After calcination, the mixture was naturally cooled to room temperature, washed with deionized water and ethanol, and dried in a vacuum oven at 40°C for 12-16 h to obtain pretreated titanium dioxide.

[0013] S2.3. Disperse solid A in HCl solution and ultrasonically treat for 30-60 min. Then, add pyrrole in an ice bath and continue ultrasonicating for 20-35 min to obtain solution A, wherein the ratio of pretreated mesoporous carbon, HCl solution, and pyrrole in solution A is 2 g:800 mL:1 mL;

[0014] S2.4. Ammonium persulfate was added to an HCl solution, and the mixture was ultrasonically treated at room temperature for 20 to 30 minutes to obtain a solution B. Solutions A and B were mixed in a volume ratio of 2:1, and the mixture was stirred at 400 r / min for 3 to 6 hours. After the stirring, the mixture was filtered, washed with ethanol and deionized water, and freeze-dried to obtain a solid B. The solid B was heated to 650 to 800° C. under a nitrogen atmosphere, calcined for 2 to 3 hours, and then naturally cooled to room temperature to obtain the carrier.

[0015] S3. Preparation of fuel cell catalysts:

[0016] S3.1. Add the carrier to ethylene glycol and stir to obtain dispersion 1;

[0017] S3.2. Then, cobalt nitrate, palladium chloride and platinum nitrate are dissolved in deionized water to obtain a salt solution, wherein the concentration of cobalt nitrate in the salt solution is 10 mmol / L, the concentration of palladium chloride is 10 mmol / L, and the concentration of platinum nitrate is 20 mmol / L, and the salt solution is mixed with dispersion 1 in a volume of 2:1, and the pH of the mixed solution is adjusted to 7-8 with ammonia water. After heating until the water is completely evaporated, it is first heated at 150°C under vacuum conditions for 1 hour, and then heat-treated at 300-500°C in a hydrogen atmosphere for 4-6 hours, and then calcined at 700-750°C under argon protection for 1-2 hours, and naturally cooled to room temperature to obtain the fuel cell catalyst.

[0018] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, in step S1, the concentration of nitric acid is 5 mol / L.

[0019] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, in step S2.2, the ball milling condition is grinding at a rotation speed of 400 r / min for 3 to 5 hours.

[0020] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, in step S2.3, the concentration of the HCl solution is 1 mol / L.

[0021] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, in step S2.4, the usage ratio of ammonium persulfate to HCl solution in solution B is 1 g:1 L.

[0022] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, in step S2.4, the heating rate during heating under nitrogen atmosphere is 8°C / min.

[0023] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, in step S2.4, the concentration of the HCl solution is 1 mol / L.

[0026] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, in step S3.2, the heating temperature is 90°C.

[0027] The present invention prepares a ternary alloy catalyst for fuel cells, comprising a support and an active metal. The support is mesoporous carbon and titanium dioxide. The titanium dioxide is treated and calcined with sodium hypophosphite in an Ar atmosphere to produce phosphorus-doped titanium dioxide. Doping modifies the electronic structure and energy band structure of the titanium dioxide, thereby enhancing its catalytic activity. The doping element may provide additional electrons or holes, promoting charge transfer in the catalytic reaction. When titanium dioxide is used as a support for a platinum-based catalyst, doping further enhances the interaction between the platinum and the titanium dioxide, thereby improving the overall performance of the catalyst.

[0028] Mixing pretreated titanium dioxide with oxidized mesoporous carbon and doping the mesoporous carbon support with titanium dioxide can improve the electron transport properties of the mesoporous carbon and reduce electron-hole recombination, thereby enhancing the conductivity and electrochemical properties of the overall material. Titanium dioxide also has high chemical and thermal stability. Doping can enhance the stability of the mesoporous carbon support, allowing it to maintain good performance in various environments. This mixed support tightly bonds with the catalyst particles through physical or chemical reactions, forming a strong catalyst-support interface and enhancing the catalyst's adhesion and stability.

[0029] The resulting solid A is polymerized and carbonized with pyrrole, and then carbonized with polypyrrole, which is then doped onto the surface of solid A. The polypyrrole coating on the outside of solid A not only enhances the support's dispersibility but also helps increase the interaction between the support and the active metal, effectively improving the activity and inhibiting oxidative corrosion of the carbon support. Polypyrrole transfers electrons to the support surface through conjugation, adjusting the electronic structure of the carbon support's outer layer.

[0030] Beneficial effects of the present invention:

[0031] In the present invention, a ternary alloy catalyst that can be used as a fuel cell catalyst is obtained by mixing the carrier with a metal salt and then performing a hydrogen reduction process. The catalyst in the present invention is mainly platinum, supplemented by cobalt and palladium, which can ensure that both the performance and stability of the catalyst are taken into account. Among them, Co can modify the crystal structure of Pt, enhance the active sites of Pt and the activity of the catalyst, and thus achieve higher catalytic activity. By optimizing the elemental composition and microstructure, the catalyst can resist chemical corrosion and physical wear during the reaction process, maintain long-term catalytic activity, and improve the reliability and stability of the system. In addition, since Co and Pd are cheaper than Pt, the cost of the present invention is lower. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
