Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of oxygen reduction catalyst technology, and more particularly to a nitrogen-tellurium co-doped carbon-supported cobalt-lanthanum-gallium triatomic oxygen reduction catalyst. Background Technology

[0002] To reduce dependence on traditional fossil fuels, the scientific community is focusing on developing new green energy conversion devices with high energy density and low environmental impact, such as zinc-air batteries and proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs). The applications of zinc-air batteries and PEMFCs have already covered cutting-edge fields such as new energy vehicles, aerospace engineering, and precision medical equipment. However, the slow oxygen reduction reaction kinetics at the cathode severely restricts the actual output performance of these batteries in production and daily life. Existing commercial platinum-based oxygen reduction catalysts are constrained by the scarcity of precious metals, creating a major obstacle to the commercialization of zinc-air batteries and PEMFCs. Therefore, developing highly active and stable non-precious metal oxygen reduction catalysts to replace platinum-based materials has become an urgent need to overcome the current technological bottleneck.

[0003] In the current technology, patent (ZL 2024 1 1027436.X) describes a nitrogen-fluorine co-doped carbon-supported zinc-molybdenum diatomic oxygen reduction catalyst prepared sequentially through physical grinding, mixing and impregnation, vacuum drying, and secondary pyrolysis. The catalyst consists of a carbon substrate, nitrogen and fluorine non-metallic atoms, and zinc and molybdenum metal atoms. This catalyst optimizes the single-atom Mo-N composition by introducing fluorine atoms. x The d-band central electronic structure of the site improves the intrinsic activity of the catalyst; however, due to the difficulty of fluorine atoms breaking the Mo-N group... x The symmetrical charge distribution around the site, and the fact that Mo atoms tend to agglomerate to form low-activity Mo2C nanoparticles during pyrolysis, especially the poor hydrophilicity of the surface of the nitrogen-fluorine co-doped carbon-supported zinc-molybdenum diatomic catalyst, result in the oxygen reduction catalytic activity and kinetic reaction rate remaining at a low level.

[0004] Therefore, it is imperative to optimize the composition of catalysts from the perspectives of avoiding the aggregation of active metal atoms, effectively breaking the symmetrical charge distribution, and improving the hydrophilicity of the catalyst surface, so as to develop a non-precious metal oxygen reduction catalyst with good catalytic performance. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a nitrogen-tellurium co-doped carbon-supported cobalt-lanthanum-gallium triatomic oxygen reduction catalyst to overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies. This catalyst introduces metal elements La and Ga atoms and non-metal elements Te atoms into the Co-NC catalyst, effectively breaking down the Co-N structure through the La and Ga metal atoms. xThe symmetrical charge distribution around the sites utilizes the Co, La, and Ga orbital coupling effect to modulate the d-band central electronic structure of cobalt atoms, thereby effectively reducing the adsorption strength of cobalt atoms on oxygen reduction reaction intermediates and promoting the smooth progress of subsequent elementary reactions, thus improving the intrinsic activity of the catalyst. Introducing tellurium doping enhances the hydrophilicity of the catalyst surface, improving the accessibility of active sites in the electrolyte and increasing the utilization rate of the Co-La-Ga three-atom sites. In the preparation method, hydrothermal reaction is used to achieve sufficient anchoring and coordination of Co and La atoms on the nitrogen-tellurium co-doped carbon support; freeze-drying effectively prevents the collapse of the catalyst's carbon framework. The catalyst obtained in this invention exhibits excellent oxygen reduction activity in solid-state zinc-air batteries, with a peak power density as high as 1.68 mW cm⁻¹. -2 .

[0006] The technical solution of this invention is as follows:

[0007] A nitrogen-tellurium co-doped carbon-supported cobalt-lanthanum-gallium three-atom oxygen reduction catalyst, the catalyst comprising a carbon support, doped nitrogen and tellurium atoms, and supported cobalt, lanthanum, and gallium atoms;

[0008] The doping ratios of nitrogen and tellurium atoms in the support are 3.63–6.96 wt% and 2.11–3.83 wt%, respectively; the loading of cobalt atoms is 0.86–1.05 wt%; the loading of lanthanum atoms is 0.38–0.47 wt%; and the loading of gallium atoms is 0.21–0.47 wt%. Furthermore, because the catalyst comes into contact with air, a small amount of oxygen molecules are adsorbed on its surface.

[0015] 4) The nitrogen-tellurium co-doped carbon-supported cobalt-lanthanum diatomic material and gallium salt were magnetically stirred in a third solvent.

[0016] In this process, 0.02~1.25g of nitrogen-tellurium co-doped carbon-supported cobalt-lanthanum diatomic material and 0.001~0.988g of gallium salt were added to every 100 mL of the third solvent; the freeze-drying time was 23~76 h and the freeze-drying temperature was -42~-48 ℃.

[0017] Step 1) The nitrogen source comprises one or more of 2,6-diaminopurine, melamine, D-glucosamine, N-acetyl-L-cysteine, sodium 4-aminobenzoate and 6-bromopurine;

[0022] The heating rate in step 2) is 2~7℃ / min.

[0033] The present invention also provides a nitrogen-tellurium co-doped carbon-supported cobalt-lanthanum-gallium triatomic oxygen reduction catalyst (Co,La,Ga-TeNC) prepared by the aforementioned preparation method.

[0034] The nitrogen-tellurium co-doped carbon-supported cobalt-lanthanum-gallium triatomic oxygen reduction catalyst is used as a cathode in a solid-state zinc-air battery.

[0035] The essential features of this invention are:

[0036] This invention optimizes the active metal center of the catalyst from easily agglomerated Mo to less agglomerated Co. Furthermore, since lanthanum and gallium are both metal atoms, their orbital configurations and electronic properties differ significantly from those of nitrogen atoms; therefore, introducing lanthanum and gallium doping can more effectively break the Co-N agglomeration. xSymmetrical charge distribution near the sites. The coupling effect of Co 3d orbitals with La 4f and Ga 4p orbitals is utilized to adjust the central electronic structure of the d-band of cobalt atoms, thereby appropriately reducing the adsorption strength of cobalt atoms for oxygen reduction reaction intermediates and promoting the smooth progress of subsequent elementary reactions, thus improving the intrinsic activity of the catalyst. On the other hand, this invention introduces tellurium doping to enhance the hydrophilicity of the catalyst surface, thereby improving the accessibility of active sites on the catalyst surface in the electrolyte, increasing the utilization rate of the Co-La-Ga triatomic sites, and simultaneously promoting sufficient contact and activation of oxygen at the Co-La-Ga triatomic sites, ultimately accelerating the oxygen reduction reaction kinetics.

[0037] The beneficial effects of this invention include:

[0038] 1) This invention uses one or more of the following as carbon carriers: inexpensive, readily available, and abundant dried goji berries, sunflower seed shells, dried carrots, chestnut shells, and peanut shells. This helps to reduce the development cost of oxygen reduction catalysts and also facilitates the utilization of high added value of agricultural and sideline products.

[0039] 2) In Co-NC catalysts, the symmetrically distributed charge of single-atom Co-Nx sites leads to excessive adsorption of oxygen reduction reaction intermediates, inhibiting the smooth progress of subsequent elementary reactions and resulting in low intrinsic activity of the Co-NC catalyst. To address this issue, this invention introduces lanthanum and gallium atoms into Co-NC to construct Co-La-Ga triatomic sites. Since La and Ga are both metal atoms, their orbital configurations and electronic properties differ significantly from those of nitrogen atoms, thus more effectively breaking down the Co-Nx structure. x Symmetrical charge distribution near the site. The coupling effect of Co 3d orbitals with La 4f and Ga 4p orbitals is utilized to modulate the central electronic structure of the d-band of cobalt atoms, thereby appropriately reducing the adsorption strength of cobalt atoms for oxygen reduction reaction intermediates, promoting the smooth progress of subsequent elementary reactions, and thus improving the intrinsic activity of the catalyst. For example... Figure 3 As shown, the nitrogen-tellurium co-doped carbon-supported cobalt-lanthanum-gallium triatomic oxygen reduction catalyst (Co,La,Ga-TeNC) prepared in Example 1 exhibits a half-wave potential as high as 0.874 V in alkaline electrolyte, which is significantly higher than that of the nitrogen-tellurium co-doped carbon-supported cobalt single-atom catalyst (Co-TeNC) prepared in Comparative Example 3. E 1 / 2 =0.855 V) and the nitrogen-doped carbon-supported cobalt single-atom catalyst (Co-NC, Comparative Example 1) prepared by comparison example 1 E 1 / 2 =0.843 V). This demonstrates that the nitrogen-tellurium co-doped carbon-supported cobalt-lanthanum-gallium triatomic oxygen reduction catalyst exhibits higher oxygen reduction catalytic activity.

[0040] 3) The poor surface hydrophilicity of Co-NC catalysts reduces the accessibility of active sites in the electrolyte, resulting in low utilization of active sites and thus affecting the oxygen reduction reaction rate. To address this issue, this invention introduces tellurium doping to enhance the hydrophilicity of the catalyst surface, thereby improving the accessibility of active sites in the electrolyte, increasing the utilization rate of Co-La-Ga triatomic sites, and simultaneously promoting sufficient contact and activation of Co-La-Ga triatomic sites with oxygen, ultimately accelerating the oxygen reduction reaction kinetics. Figure 4 As shown, the contact angle of the nitrogen-tellurium co-doped carbon-supported cobalt-lanthanum-gallium triatomic oxygen reduction catalyst (Co,La,Ga-TeNC) prepared in Example 1 is 28.233°, indicating that its surface has strong hydrophilicity. In contrast, the contact angle of the nitrogen-doped carbon-supported cobalt-lanthanum-gallium triatomic oxygen reduction catalyst (Co,La,Ga-NC) prepared in Comparative Example 2 is as high as 136.052°, and the contact angle of the nitrogen-doped carbon-supported cobalt single-atom catalyst (Co-NC) prepared in Comparative Example 1 is as high as 128.649°, both exhibiting extremely strong hydrophobicity. This demonstrates that the introduction of tellurium can effectively enhance the hydrophilicity of the catalyst surface. Thanks to the construction of the hydrophilic surface, such as... Figure 5 As shown, the kinetic current density (7.534 mA cm⁻¹) of the nitrogen-tellurium co-doped carbon-supported cobalt-lanthanum-gallium triatomic oxygen reduction catalyst (Co,La,Ga-TeNC) prepared in Example 1 is shown. -2 It was also significantly higher than that of control sample 2 (5.378 mA cm⁻¹). -2 ) and Comparative Example 1 (4.974 mA cm) -2 This indicates that the nitrogen-tellurium co-doped carbon-supported cobalt-lanthanum-gallium triatomic oxygen reduction catalyst prepared in Example 1 has better site utilization and oxygen reduction kinetics.

[0041] 4) The nitrogen-tellurium co-doped carbon-supported cobalt-lanthanum-gallium triatomic oxygen reduction catalyst prepared in this invention possesses highly active Co-La-Ga triatomic sites with low adsorption strength and a highly hydrophilic surface structure, thus exhibiting good oxygen reduction activity as a catalyst in solid-state zinc-air batteries. For example... Figure 6 As shown, the solid-state zinc-air battery assembled using the nitrogen-tellurium co-doped carbon-supported cobalt-lanthanum-gallium three-atom oxygen reduction catalyst (Co,La,Ga-TeNC) prepared in Example 1 achieves a peak power density of 1.68 mW cm⁻¹. -2 In contrast, the solid-state zinc-air battery assembled using the nitrogen-doped carbon-supported cobalt single-atom oxygen reduction catalyst (Co-NC) prepared in Comparative Example 1 had a peak power density of only 1.05 mW cm⁻¹. -2 Therefore, it can be seen that the solid-state zinc-air battery assembled with a nitrogen-tellurium co-doped carbon-supported cobalt-lanthanum-gallium triatomic oxygen reduction catalyst has better performance.

[0098] The X-ray diffraction pattern (test instrument model: Bruker D8) and transmission electron microscopy (test instrument model: JEOL2100) of the nitrogen-tellurium co-doped carbon-supported cobalt-lanthanum-gallium triatomic oxygen reduction catalyst (Co,La,Ga-TeNC) prepared in Example 1 are shown below. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown. From Figure 1 It can be seen that in the nitrogen-tellurium co-doped carbon-supported cobalt-lanthanum-gallium triatomic oxygen reduction catalyst of Example 1, only the characteristic peaks corresponding to graphite carbon are observed near 25° and 44°, and no characteristic peaks corresponding to metal-based nanoparticles are observed; while from Figure 2It can be seen that no obvious metal nanoparticles were observed in the nitrogen-tellurium co-doped carbon-supported cobalt-lanthanum-gallium triatomic oxygen reduction catalyst of Example 1. The above characterization results indicate that cobalt, lanthanum, and gallium atoms did not migrate and aggregate during pyrolysis, and the metal active centers in the catalyst exist in a triatomic dispersed form.

[0099] The half-wave potentials of the nitrogen-tellurium co-doped carbon-supported cobalt-lanthanum-gallium three-atom oxygen reduction catalyst (Co,La,Ga-TeNC) of Example 1, the nitrogen-doped carbon-supported cobalt single-atom catalyst (Co-NC) prepared in Comparative Example 1, and the nitrogen-tellurium co-doped carbon-supported cobalt single-atom oxygen reduction catalyst (Co-TeNC) prepared in Comparative Example 3 were measured in 0.1 mol / L KOH solution using a three-electrode system and a CHI760e electrochemical workstation. The catalyst loading was 0.459 mg cm⁻¹ for all catalysts. -2 .like Figure 3 As shown, the Co,La,Ga-TeNC prepared in Example 1 has a half-wave potential as high as 0.874 V in alkaline electrolyte, which is much higher than that of the Co-TeNC prepared in Comparative Example 3. E 1 / 2 =0.855 V) and Co-NC prepared in Comparative Example 1 ( =0.855 V) E 1 / 2 =0.843 V). This demonstrates that the nitrogen-tellurium co-doped carbon-supported cobalt-lanthanum-gallium triatomic oxygen reduction catalyst exhibits higher oxygen reduction catalytic activity. This is mainly because the Co 3d-La 4f-Ga 4p orbital coupling effect effectively modulates the central electronic structure of the d-band of cobalt atoms, thereby appropriately reducing the adsorption strength of cobalt atoms for oxygen reduction reaction intermediates, promoting the smooth progress of subsequent elementary reactions, and thus improving the intrinsic activity of the catalyst.

[0100] The contact angle test results of the nitrogen-tellurium co-doped carbon-supported cobalt-lanthanum-gallium triatomic oxygen reduction catalyst (Co,La,Ga-TeNC) in Example 1, the nitrogen-doped carbon-supported cobalt single-atom catalyst (Co-NC) prepared in Comparative Example 1, and the nitrogen-doped carbon-supported cobalt-lanthanum-gallium triatomic oxygen reduction catalyst (Co,La,Ga-NC) in Comparative Example 2 are as follows: Figure 4 As shown (test instrument model: SDC 350). From Figure 4It can be seen that the contact angle of the Co,La,Ga-TeNC prepared in Example 1 is 28.233°, indicating that its surface has strong hydrophilicity. In contrast, the contact angle of the Co,La,Ga-NC prepared in Comparative Example 2 is as high as 136.052°, and the contact angle of the Co-NC prepared in Comparative Example 1 is as high as 128.649°, both exhibiting extremely strong hydrophobicity. This shows that the introduction of tellurium can effectively enhance the hydrophilicity of the catalyst surface. Thanks to the construction of the hydrophilic surface, the accessibility of the active sites on the catalyst surface in Example 1 in the electrolyte is effectively improved, the utilization rate of the Co-La-Ga three-atom sites is increased, and the sites are promoted to have sufficient contact and activation with oxygen, ultimately accelerating the oxygen reduction reaction kinetics. Furthermore, in a 0.1 mol / L KOH solution, the kinetic current density was measured using a three-electrode system and a CHI760e electrochemical workstation, and the results are as follows... Figure 5 As shown, the kinetic current density of the Co,La,Ga-TeNC prepared in Example 1 is 7.534 mA cm⁻¹. -2 It was also significantly higher than that of control sample 2 (5.378 mA cm⁻¹). -2 ) and Comparative Example 1 (4.974 mA cm) -2 This indicates that the nitrogen-tellurium co-doped carbon-supported cobalt-lanthanum-gallium triatomic oxygen reduction catalyst prepared in Example 1 has better site utilization and oxygen reduction kinetics.

[0101] Solid-state zinc-air batteries were assembled using the nitrogen-tellurium co-doped carbon-supported cobalt-lanthanum-gallium triatomic oxygen reduction catalyst (Co,La,Ga-TeNC) of Example 1 and the nitrogen-doped carbon-supported cobalt single-atom oxygen reduction catalyst (Co-NC) of Comparative Example 1 as cathode catalysts, respectively. The cathode catalyst loading was 1 mg / cm³. -2 The anode of the battery was a zinc plate (0.1 mm thick), and the solid electrolyte was a polyvinyl alcohol gel film (3 mm thick). The performance of the zinc-air battery was tested using the linear sweep voltammetry function of the Chenhua CHI760e electrochemical workstation. The performance graphs of Co,La,Ga-TeNC from Example 1 and Co-NC from Comparative Example 1 in the solid zinc-air battery are shown below. Figure 6 As shown. From Figure 6 It can be seen that the solid zinc-air battery assembled with the catalyst of Example 1 has a peak power density as high as 1.68 mW cm⁻¹. -2 The efficiency was significantly higher than that of the solid zinc-air battery assembled with the catalyst in Comparative Example 1 (1.05 mW cm⁻¹). -2 This indicates that the construction of Co-La-Ga triatomic sites and the doping of tellurium atoms in the nitrogen-tellurium co-doped carbon-supported cobalt-lanthanum-gallium triatomic oxygen reduction catalyst effectively improved the oxygen reduction catalytic performance, thereby improving the actual output performance of the solid-state zinc-air battery.

[0102] This invention relates to a nitrogen-tellurium co-doped carbon-supported cobalt-lanthanum-gallium triatomic oxygen reduction catalyst. Using readily available and inexpensive biomass as the carbon support, it effectively reduces catalyst development costs. By introducing lanthanum and gallium to construct Co-La-Ga triatomic sites, the coupling effect of Co 3d orbitals with La 4f and Ga 4p orbitals is utilized to regulate the d-band central electronic structure of cobalt atoms, thereby appropriately reducing the adsorption strength of cobalt atoms for oxygen reduction reaction intermediates and promoting the smooth progress of subsequent elementary reactions. Simultaneously, non-metallic tellurium doping enhances the hydrophilicity of the catalyst surface, improves the accessibility of active sites in the electrolyte, promotes sufficient contact and activation of the catalyst with oxygen, and ultimately accelerates the oxygen reduction reaction kinetics. The nitrogen-tellurium co-doped carbon-supported cobalt-lanthanum-gallium triatomic oxygen reduction catalyst possesses highly intrinsically active triatomic Co-La-Ga sites and a highly hydrophilic surface, exhibiting excellent oxygen reduction activity in solid-state zinc-air batteries. It solves the problems of excessively strong adsorption strength for intermediates and poor surface hydrophilicity that limit the oxygen reduction activity of current oxygen reduction catalysts.
