Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the preparation method and application of catalysts using doped carbon as a carrier to support Pt nanoparticles, belonging to the field of new energy materials. Background Technology

[0002] Platinum (Pt), as an inert metal, is the most widely used proton exchange membrane fuel cell cathode (ORR) catalyst due to its inherent properties and moderate adsorption energy for oxygen reduction reaction intermediates. However, the insufficient activity and stability of the most commonly used commercial Pt / C catalysts have not yet been fully resolved.

[0003] In recent years, researchers have continuously developed novel Pt / M-NC catalysts (PGMs) using non-precious metal M (M = Fe, Co, Ni, Zn, etc.) doped with nitrogen and carbon (M-NC) as supports. Compared to traditional Pt / C catalysts, M-NCs can form synergistic catalytic and anchoring effects on Pt sites, enabling Pt / M-NCs to exhibit superior catalytic performance in ORR catalysis. However, current Pt / M-NC catalyst structures still suffer from insufficient activity, and the stability of Pt / M-NC catalysts requires further improvement due to the tendency of Pt and M-NCs to undergo demetallization under acidic conditions. Furthermore, most M-NC materials at present are derived from MOFs, hindering large-scale production and application. These factors significantly limit the performance and application of Pt / M-NC catalysts. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This invention aims to address the technical problem of poor catalytic activity and stability of existing Pt-based catalysts by providing a 3d transition metal M-rare earth metal R bicomponent carbon-supported Pt catalyst, its preparation method, and its application. This invention uses a 3d transition metal M (M = Fe, Co, Ni, Zn)-rare earth metal R (Ce, Nd, or Gd) bicomponent carbon-supported catalyst (MR-NC) as a support. Pt is loaded using a microwave reduction method to obtain an MR bicomponent carbon-supported Pt catalyst (Pt / MR-NC). This catalyst exhibits significantly higher activity and stability than the Pt / C catalyst, and also demonstrates excellent performance in fuel cell applications.

[0005] The 3d transition metal M-rare earth metal R bicomponent carbon-supported Pt catalyst of the present invention comprises Pt nanoparticles uniformly supported on a 3d transition metal M-rare earth metal R bicomponent carbon support, denoted as MR-NC, wherein M and R exist in atomically dispersed form, M being Fe, Co, Ni, or Zn, and R being Ce, Nd, or Gd; the mass percentage of M in the 3d transition metal M-rare earth metal R bicomponent carbon-supported Pt catalyst is 5%–15%, the mass percentage of R is 1%–10%, and the mass percentage of Pt is 5%–40%.

[0006] The preparation method of the above-mentioned 3d transition metal M-rare earth metal R two-component carbon-supported Pt catalyst is carried out according to the following steps:

[0007] I. Preparation of 3d transition metal M-rare earth metal R two-component doped carbon support (MR-NC): Carbon powder was added to anhydrous alcohol solvent and ultrasonically stirred until the carbon powder was uniformly dispersed to obtain mixture A; then, a non-noble metal M salt solution, R salt solution, and ligand solution were added dropwise to mixture A in sequence, and after the addition was completed, mixture B was obtained; mixture B was stirred at room temperature for 1-2 hours to allow the complexes of M salt, R salt, and ligand to grow on carbon; then mixture B was evaporated to dryness under water bath conditions to obtain the precursor; the precursor was ground uniformly and placed in a high-temperature furnace under an inert atmosphere at a temperature of 650-1050℃ for 1-5 hours for carbonization treatment. After natural cooling, it was ground uniformly to obtain a 3d transition metal M-rare earth metal R two-component doped carbon support, denoted as MR-NC; wherein the ligand solution was prepared by dissolving o-phenanthroline, o-bipyridine, or dimethylimidazole in anhydrous alcohol solvent;

[0008] II. Microwave Reduction of Pt: A 3d transition metal M-rare earth metal R dual-component carbon support was added to a dispersion and dispersed evenly. Then, chloroplatinic acid solution was added, and the mixture was ultrasonically stirred to homogenize the slurry, resulting in a mixed solution C. The pH of the mixed solution C was adjusted to alkaline, and an inert gas was introduced to remove oxygen from the solution. Microwave reduction was performed, and after natural cooling, the pH of the mixed solution was adjusted to acidic and stirred for 8–24 hours. After filtration and washing, the solution was vacuum dried and ground evenly to obtain a 3d transition metal M-rare earth metal R dual-component carbon-supported Pt catalyst, denoted as Pt / MR-NC.

[0009] Furthermore, the toner mentioned in step one is XC-72C, Ecp-600jd, Ec-300, or BP-2000.

[0010] Furthermore, the non-precious metal M salt solution mentioned in step one is prepared by dissolving cobalt chloride, cobalt nitrate, cobalt sulfate, ferrous sulfate, ferric chloride, ferric nitrate, nickel nitrate, or zinc nitrate in an anhydrous alcohol solvent.

[0011] Furthermore, the R salt solution mentioned in step one is prepared by dissolving gadolinium chloride, gadolinium sulfate, neodymium nitrate, cerium nitrate, or cerium chloride in an anhydrous alcohol solvent;

[0012] Furthermore, in the mixture B described in step one, the concentration of carbon powder is 0.3–2 g / L, the concentration of 3d transition metal M salt is 0.001–0.01 mol / L, the concentration of rare earth metal R salt is 0.001–0.01 mol / L, and the concentration of ligand is 0.005–0.05 mol / L.

[0013] Furthermore, the inert atmosphere mentioned in step one is Ar or N2.

[0014] The application of the aforementioned 3d transition metal M-rare earth metal R bicomponent carbon-supported Pt catalyst is its application in the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) at the cathode of a fuel cell.

[0015] The advantages of this invention over the prior art are as follows:

[0016] (1) This invention can combine traditional carbon supports with M / RN x A Pt / MR-NC catalyst was obtained by combining MR-NC support and then loading Pt onto the MR-NC support via microwave reduction.

[0017] (2) Using o-phenanthroline, o-bispyridine, or dimethylimidazole as ligands, complexes of both M and R salts with the ligands are grown on the carbon surface. By controlling the carbonization conditions of the precursor, the prepared carbon support MR-NC contains not only abundant M-Nx structures but also R-Nx structures; R-Nx and MN X The structure can act as an electron donor, providing electrons to the Pt active site, reducing the binding energy between the Pt active site and the oxygen intermediate, promoting the desorption process of the oxygen intermediate at the active site, and thus promoting the oxygen reduction reaction; at the same time, the R-Nx structure can effectively inhibit the demetallization process of M-Nx and PtNPs, thereby effectively improving the activity and stability of the Pt / MR-NC catalyst.

[0018] (3) The 3d transition metal M-rare earth metal R bicomponent carbon-supported Pt catalyst of the present invention has good applicability to fuel cells, which makes the catalyst also have excellent performance in fuel cells. Attached Figure Description

[0041] The XRD patterns of the Pt / Fe-Ce-NC catalyst prepared in Example 1, the Pt / Fe-NC catalyst prepared in Comparative Example 1, and the Pt / C catalyst prepared in Comparative Example 2 are shown below. Figure 2 As shown, by Figure 2 It can be seen that the particles on the Fe-Ce-NC support are Pt particles, and no characteristic peaks of Fe / Ce particles or oxides appear in the XRD pattern of Pt / Fe-Ce-NC. Combined with the full XPS spectrum of Pt / Fe-Ce-NC, as shown below... Figure 3 As shown, it can be demonstrated that the Pt / Fe-Ce-NC prepared in Example 1 contains Fe and Ce elements, and from... Figure 4 The fitting results of the characteristic peak corresponding to N1s can prove that the Pt / Fe-Ce-NC prepared in Example 1 contains the metal MN substance. Therefore, it can be shown that Fe / Ce on the Fe-Ce-NC support exists in the form of Fe-Nx / Ce-Nx, rather than Fe particles, Ce particles or their oxides.

[0042] ORR polarization tests were performed on the Pt / Fe-Ce-NC catalyst prepared in Example 1, the Pt / Co-Ce-NC catalyst prepared in Example 2, the Pt / Fe-NC catalyst prepared in Comparative Example 1, and the Pt / C catalyst prepared in Comparative Example 2.

Figure 7 As shown, after 30,000 cycles of accelerated aging testing, the Et / Fe-Ce-NC catalyst... 1 / 2 The reduction was only 7 mV, far less than that of Pt / C (which reduced by 35 mV); the mass ratio activity of the Pt / Fe-Ce-NC prepared in Example 1 and the Pt / C prepared in Comparative Example 2 before and after aging is as follows: Figure 8 As shown, from Figure 8 It can be seen that after 30,000 cycles of accelerated aging test, the mass activity retention rate of Pt / Fe-Ce-NC is as high as 86.9%, which fully demonstrates that its stability is much better than that of Pt / C (56.3%). Therefore, it can be concluded that the catalyst with bicomponent doped carbon as support has superior ORR catalytic activity and stability.

[0044] The polarization curves of the fuel cells prepared by Pt / Fe-Ce-NC in Example 1, Pt / Fe-NC in Comparative Example 1, and Pt / C in Comparative Example 2 are shown below. Figure 9 As shown, from Figure 9 It can be seen that the peak power density of Pt / Fe-Ce-NC is 2.2 W / cm². 2 The peak power density of Pt / Fe-NC is 1.9 W / cm³. 2 All of them are higher than Pt / C (1.8 W / cm³) in Comparative Example 1. 2 Therefore, it can be concluded that catalysts with two-component carbon doping as the support also have superior performance in fuel cell applications.

The strong superoxide dismutase (SMSI) interaction between the MR-NC support and Pt NPs significantly enhances its catalytic activity and stability compared to the Pt / C catalyst. Furthermore, the MR-NC support exhibits good applicability in fuel cell applications, enabling the Pt / MR-NC catalyst to demonstrate excellent performance in fuel cells.
