Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of electrocatalysis technology, specifically relating to a method for preparing Pt nanoparticle-Mo2C supported Pt single-atom electrocatalysts via a carbon nanocage ortho-confined pyrolysis pathway and its application. Background Technology
[0002] Alkaline anion exchange membrane electrolysis (AEMWE) technology combines the high efficiency of proton exchange membrane electrolysis with the low cost of alkaline electrolysis, making it a highly promising green hydrogen production route. However, this technology faces a key scientific challenge in alkaline environments: the slow kinetics of the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) severely restricts its energy efficiency and large-scale application potential. This bottleneck stems from the high energy barrier of the water dissociation steps involved in the alkaline HER process, and the fact that its intermediate products... OH and reaction intermediate H Competitive adsorption tends to occur at the same active site, significantly slowing down the reaction process. In recent years, researchers have attempted to improve hydrogen evolution performance using advanced materials such as nanomaterials and single-atom catalysts (NMP-SACs), but these strategies often struggle to precisely control key intermediates. The desorption behavior of OH causes the active site to be... The strong adsorption of OH molecules causes "blockage," leading to a rapid decline in catalytic activity. Summary of the Invention
[0003] This invention addresses the existing problems associated with nano-metal particles and single-atom catalysts. To address the problems of OH active site aggregation, blockage, poor stability, and complex preparation processes, a novel ortho-confined pyrolysis strategy for carbon nanocages is proposed, which involves the precise construction of Pt... n -Pt1@Mo2C / NPC ortho-dual-site catalyst, with Mo2C introduced as an "OH- relay baton" to promote OH overflow to further accelerate OH desorption, achieving OH and H Highly efficient separation and adsorption Rapid OH desorption significantly improves the performance and stability of alkaline HER.
[0004] This invention proposes an "OH- relay" effect. Molybdenum carbide (Mo2C), acting as the proposed "OH- relay," is introduced into the platinum nanoparticle-platinum single-atom ortho-position composite catalyst (Pt). n In the structure of Pt1, Mo2C plays an ideal "OH- relay" role: on the one hand, it can effectively anchor and stabilize Pt1 single atoms, preventing their aggregation and deactivation; on the other hand, it can preferentially adsorb and rapidly transfer Pt1 sites. OH species, thus overcoming the Pt1 site Overcoming the OH blockage challenge significantly accelerated the kinetics of the water dissociation process. A novel Pt structure was successfully synthesized using a "one-step double-constrained pyrolysis" synthesis strategy. n -Pt1@Mo2C / NPC composite catalyst. This catalyst exhibits excellent overall performance in AEMWE devices, achieving not only a lower cell operating voltage but also excellent long-term operational durability. This invention not only provides a novel solution for overcoming the performance bottleneck of alkaline HER catalysts but also opens up new avenues for designing highly efficient dual-site synergistic catalytic systems.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: A method for preparing Pt nanoparticle-Mo2C supported Pt single-atom electrocatalyst via a carbon nanocage ortho-site dual-confined pyrolysis pathway includes the following steps: S1. Preparation of nitrogen-doped porous carbon NPC After grinding ZIF-8 powder, it was placed in an alumina boat and then placed in a tube furnace for calcination. Under an argon atmosphere, the temperature was raised to 800-1000 ℃ at a rate of 5-10 ℃ / min and calcined at this temperature for 3-5 h. After it was naturally cooled to room temperature, the collected black powder was nitrogen-doped porous carbon NPC. S2, Precursor Pt1-Pt1@PMo 12 / NPC Preparation a. NPCs and PMo 12 Dispersed in deionized water, stirred at 25°C for 4 h, filtered, washed with deionized water, and vacuum dried at 60°C overnight to obtain PMo. 12 / NPC; b. PMo 12 The NPC sample was dispersed in deionized water and sonicated for 20 minutes to form a homogeneous suspension. Under continuous stirring, an aqueous solution of chloroplatinic acid hexahydrate was slowly added dropwise, and the mixture was magnetically stirred in a 60°C water bath for 16-17.5 hours. After the reaction was complete, the mixture was centrifuged at 10,000 rpm for 15 minutes to collect the precipitate. The precipitate was washed 3-4 times with deionized water and finally vacuum-dried overnight at 60°C to obtain the dual-confined precursor Pt1-Pt1@PMo. 12 / NPC; S3, Pt carbon nanocage ortho-confined pyrolysis catalyst n Preparation of -Pt1@Mo2C / NPC Pt1-Pt1@PMo 12The NPC was placed in an alumina boat and then placed in a tube furnace. Under a mixed atmosphere of H2 / Ar, the temperature was increased to 800-1000℃ at a rate of 2-10℃ / min, and calcined at this temperature for 2-4 hours. After natural cooling, the target catalyst Pt was obtained. n -Pt1@Mo2C / NPC.
[0006] Furthermore, the mass of the ZIF-8 powder mentioned in S1 is 5-10g.
[0007] Furthermore, in step S2a, the NPC and PMo 12 The ratio of the amount of water used to deionized water is 25-35mg: 35-45mg: 10mL.
[0008] Further, in step S2b, the PMo 12 The ratio of NPC, deionized water, and chloroplatinic acid hexahydrate aqueous solution is 25-40 mg: 10 mL: 280-350 μL; the concentration of the chloroplatinic acid hexahydrate aqueous solution is 0.02 g / mL.
[0009] Furthermore, in S3, the volume ratio of H2 in the H2 / Ar mixed atmosphere is 5-10%.
[0010] Pt nanoparticle-Mo2C supported Pt single-atom electrocatalysts are used in alkaline water electrolysis for hydrogen evolution reaction, as well as in three-electrode systems or alkaline anion exchange membrane electrolyzers.
[0011] The principle of this invention is as follows: The so-called "double confinement" refers to the simultaneous confinement of a single Pt atom (Pt1) by phosphomolybdic acid (PMo). 12 The oxygen quadruple vacancy (O4H) and the N cavity confinement in nitrogen-doped porous carbon (NPC), where PMo 12 Pt1 is anchored via the Pt-O bond, and the NPC stabilizes Pt1 via the Pt-N bond, which is controlled by PMo. 12 The first confinement layer is formed by O4H, and the second confinement layer is formed by nitrogen cavities in NPC, resulting in a double confinement effect. After pyrolysis, PMo 12 Converted to Mo2C, and finally Pt is constructed. n Ortho-site dual-site catalyst in which Pt nanoparticles coexist with Pt1@Mo2C (Pt single atoms confined in Mo2C).
[0012] Specifically as follows: 1. Support design: Nitrogen-doped porous carbon (NPC) derived from ZIF-8 is used as the support. It inherits the rhombic dodecahedral nanocage structure of ZIF-8 (pore size ~1 nm) and is rich in N active sites, which can anchor Pt single atoms through Pt-N bonds. 2. Dual-confined precursor design: The first confinement layer consists of phosphomolybdic acid (PMo). 12 ) Achieve - PMo 12 The molecule (0.75–0.8 nm in size) is confined within an NPC nanocage. Its oxygen quadruple vacancy (O₄H) provides secondary confinement of the Pt single atom via Pt-O bonds. The second confinement is achieved by the N-cavity of the NPC, which stabilizes the Pt single atom through Pt-N bonds, forming Pt₁–Pt₁@PMo. 12 / NPC precursor; 3. Pyrolysis Conversion: The precursor is pyrolyzed in a mixed H2 / Ar atmosphere to produce PMo. 12 Reduced to Mo2C, some Pt single atoms aggregate in situ to form Pt nanoparticles (Pt). n ), ultimately yielding Pt n Two-site catalysts (Pt1@Mo2C) coexisting with Pt1 confined in Mo2C (Pt1@Mo2C) n -Pt1@Mo2C / NPC). Mo2C acts as the "OH- relay baton," utilizing its strong affinity for oxygen to bind the Pt1@Mo2C surface... OH is transferred quickly, avoiding OH blockage; Pt n Dominant H Adsorption and desorption: Pt1@Mo2C is responsible for the dissociation of water molecules, and the two work together to accelerate HER kinetics.
[0013] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: 1. This invention constructs a unique ortho-dual-site synergistic catalytic structure: using the aforementioned preparation method, an ortho-dual-site composite structure in which Pt nanoparticles and Pt single atoms supported on Mo2C coexist within a carbon nanocage was successfully constructed. This structure enables the reaction intermediate... OH and H The separate adsorption and synergistic effect at different active sites solve the problem of "single-site adsorption competition," and further promotes adsorption through the strong oxygen affinity of Mo2C. The desorption and overflow of OH intermediates breaks through the limitation of the adsorption energy of reaction intermediates at a single site in the traditional method, thus optimizing the reaction pathway.
[0014] 2. Improved HER reaction kinetics and stability: The Mo2C component in the catalyst material can efficiently promote... The desorption of the OH intermediate significantly accelerates the kinetics of the basic hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Simultaneously, this stable carbon-based confined structure effectively prevents the migration and aggregation of active sites during the reaction, endowing the catalyst with excellent durability.
[0015] 3. Achieved efficient utilization of precious metals: While maintaining high activity, the catalyst significantly reduced the total loading of precious metal Pt, and by constructing a synergistic system of Pt single atoms and nanoparticles, it fully enhanced the intrinsic activity of each Pt atom, providing a new approach for designing low-cost, high-performance electrocatalysts.
