TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to a surface-doped Pt / C catalyst and a preparation method and application thereof, and belongs to the field of new energy materials. BACKGROUND
[0002] Pt / C materials are widely used as cathode (ORR) catalysts for proton exchange membrane fuel cells due to their good catalytic performance for oxygen reduction reactions. However, current commercial Pt / C catalysts have problems such as insufficient activity and durability in long-term operation under harsh reaction conditions, and the future development direction will focus on improving durability as the primary goal.
[0003] Current commercial Pt / C catalysts are mainly high-load, and the cost of Pt is high, accounting for half of the cost of proton exchange membrane fuel cells, and the catalyst is prone to deactivation and aging during operation, causing the growth of Pt nanoparticles in the catalyst, resulting in a decrease in electrochemical active area and a decrease in fuel cell performance. SUMMARY
[0004] The present application is to solve the technical problems of poor catalytic activity and insufficient adaptability of existing Pt / C catalysts, and to provide a Pt / C catalyst surface-doped with a stability metal G and a preparation method and application thereof. The salt solution of the stability metal G (G = Au, Mo or W) is impregnated and evaporated to be adsorbed on the surface of the Pt / C catalyst, and a Pt-G / C catalyst is obtained by low-temperature annealing reduction. The activity and stability of the catalyst are significantly higher than those of the 20% Pt / C catalyst, and the surface-doped Pt-G / C catalyst has applicability in fuel cells.
[0005] The Pt / C catalyst surface-doped with the stability metal G of the present application has G atoms uniformly distributed on the surface of Pt particles, and G is one or several of Au, Mo and W; the mass percentage of Pt in the catalyst is 10% to 30%.
[0006] Further, the molar ratio of G atoms to Pt atoms is 1:(100-10). Since the catalytic activity of Au, Mo and W elements is relatively poor, too high a content can easily cause a decrease in catalytic activity. In the surface-doped Pt / C catalyst of G element, the molar ratio of G atoms to Pt atoms is 1:(100-10), which improves the stability of the catalyst while reducing the cost.
[0007] The preparation method of the above-mentioned Pt / C catalyst surface-doped with the stability metal G is carried out according to the following steps:
[0008] I. Preparation of Pt / C catalyst by microwave reduction method;
[0009] II. Adsorption of G metal salt: after the Pt / C catalyst is wetted, it is put into the dispersion solution, and ultrasonic stirring is performed until the catalyst is uniformly dispersed, to obtain a mixed solution A; then a solution of a stable metal G salt is added dropwise into the mixed solution A, and after the dropwise addition is completed, a mixed solution B is obtained; the mixed solution B is subjected to ultrasonic treatment for 0.5-2 h, and then is stirred at room temperature for 0.5-2 h, so that the mixed solution is uniformly dispersed; then the mixed solution B is evaporated under water bath conditions, to obtain a precursor;
[0010] III. Annealing reduction to prepare Pt-G / C: the precursor is placed in a high-temperature furnace, and is heated to 200-600℃ in a reducing atmosphere for 4-10 h for annealing, and is cooled to room temperature, and is uniformly ground, to obtain a Pt / C catalyst doped with a stable metal G on the surface, which is denoted as Pt-G / C.
[0011] Further, the specific method for preparing the Pt / C by the microwave reduction method is as follows: the carbon carrier is added into a dispersion liquid and is uniformly dispersed, and a chloroplatinic acid solution is added, and after stirring is uniformly performed, the pH of the mixed solution is adjusted to be alkaline; the Pt particles are reduced by using a microwave, and after natural cooling, the pH is adjusted to be acidic and stirring is performed for 12-24 h, and after suction filtration and washing, vacuum drying is performed, to obtain a Pt / C catalyst; the dispersion liquid is one or several of water, ethanol, methanol and isopropyl alcohol; the carbon powder is XC-72, ECP-600JD or BP-2000.
[0012] Further, the dispersion solution in step II is one or several of water, ethanol, methanol and isopropyl alcohol.
[0013] Further, the solution of the G metal salt in step II is prepared by dissolving chloroauric acid, gold trichloride, potassium chloroaurate, molybdate, molybdenum pentachloride, tungstate or tungsten hexachloride in the dispersion solution.
[0014] Further, in the mixed solution B in step II, the concentration of the Pt / C is 0.5-2 g / L, and the concentration of the stable metal G salt is 0.00025-0.001 mol / L.
[0015] Further, the reducing gas in step III is H2 / N2 mixed gas or H2 / Ar mixed gas, and the volume ratio of H2 in the mixed gas is 3%-15%.
[0016] The application of the above-mentioned Pt / C catalyst doped with a stable metal G on the surface is that the catalyst is used in the cathode oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) of a fuel cell.
[0017] The present application effectively improves the stability of Pt / C catalyst by doping with stable metal G (G=Au, Mo, W). The stable metal G has good electrochemical stability, and is introduced into the electrocatalyst to improve the stability of the electrocatalyst. Meanwhile, since the ORR catalytic activity of Au and Mo elements is poor, the present application controls the addition amount of the stable metal G to avoid the reduction of the catalytic activity caused by the coverage of the active sites of Pt in the catalyst. In addition, the elements such as Au, Mo and W have high cost, and if the doping amount is too much, the cost of the catalyst will be significantly affected. The present application reduces the Pt loading while maintaining the activity of the catalyst, and modifies the catalyst by using the stable metal G to prepare a Pt / C catalyst with good performance, which has the surface doped with the stable metal G. The mass activity of the catalyst is 0.131-0.168 mA / μg Pt , and the half-wave potential reaches 0.896-0.905 V. After being aged for 30000 cycles, the peak power density value of the fuel cell assembled with the catalyst only decreases by 0.6 W, and the decrease rate is 32%, so the catalyst has good stability.
[0018] The advantages of the present application are as follows:
[0019] (1) The present application dopes the stable metal on the surface of the Pt / C catalyst. First, the metal salt is adsorbed on the surface of the Pt / C catalyst by the method of immersion and evaporation, and the G salt is reduced to G metal under a reducing atmosphere by low-temperature annealing. With continuous heating, the G metal is gradually and uniformly distributed on the surface of the Pt particles to obtain the Pt-G / C catalyst. The preparation method is simple and easy to implement, and is suitable for industrial production.
[0020] (2) The doping amount of the G metal in the present application is very low, which avoids the problems of activity reduction and cost increase caused by the doping of a large amount of G metal.
[0021] (3) The catalyst prepared in the present application has high electrocatalytic activity and durability for oxygen reduction reaction in an acidic medium, and has good applicability in a fuel cell, so that the catalyst also has excellent performance in the fuel cell.
