Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of anode catalysts, and in particular relates to a nanoporous anode catalyst with a carrier synergistic strengthening effect and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] In the field of energy and environment, with the growing global demand for clean energy, technologies such as fuel cells and water electrolysis to produce hydrogen have become research hotspots. Anode catalysts are the core materials of these technologies, and their performance plays a key role in the efficiency and stability of the overall system.

[0003] Anode catalysts face numerous challenges in practical applications. From a catalytic activity perspective, existing catalysts have a limited number of active sites, resulting in insufficient contact between reactant molecules and the catalyst, making efficient catalytic reactions difficult. For example, in fuel cells, the anode fuel oxidation reaction rate is low, limiting the cell's output power. In hydrogen production from water electrolysis, the high overpotential of the anode oxygen evolution reaction results in significant energy loss, reducing hydrogen production efficiency.

[0004] However, existing technologies have three major defects in the preparation of nanoporous anode catalysts: low precious metal dispersion: the metal dispersion of commercial IrO2 catalysts is <5% (determined by CO chemisorption), resulting in >95% of Ir not participating in the reaction (see J. Electrochem. Soc. 2023, 170, 064502); poor interfacial stability: the Ir loss rate in accelerated aging tests (1.8V / 80℃) reaches 15-20wt% / 100h (data source: US20230183721A1); low mass transfer efficiency: the porosity of catalysts prepared by traditional sintering methods is <40%, and the electrolyte diffusion coefficient is <1×10 -5 cm 2 / s. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In order to overcome the defects in the prior art, a nanoporous anode catalyst with a carrier synergistic strengthening effect and a preparation method thereof are provided.

[0006] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0007] A method for preparing a nanoporous anode catalyst with a carrier synergistic strengthening effect comprises the following steps:

[0015] e) Accelerated aging: 2A / cm in 1M KOH 2 The surface of the samples was polarized at 90℃ for 500h under constant current to induce the formation of a dense hydroxylation layer.

[0016] Preferably, the thickness of the CoO sheets epitaxially grown along the carbon fibers is 5-8 nm.

[0017] Preferably, the interfacial bonding is performed by ball milling at 500 rpm / 6 h under nitrogen protection.

[0020] The carbon nanofibers were immersed in a sodium silicate solution and ultrasonically immersed for 1 hour at an ultrasonic power of 350-400W, and then filtered and dried to obtain a nanofiber agent;

[0022] Preferably, the mass fraction of the sodium silicate solution is 5-8%; the mass fraction of the sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate solution is 2-5%.

[0023] By improving and optimizing the carbon nanofibers with carbon nanotube liquid, the carbon nanotubes in the carbon nanotube liquid have a high specific surface area structure. By adding specific raw materials such as yttrium oxide, the carbon nanofiber structure is optimized and the electrochemical properties of the product are improved.
