Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of new energy catalyst technology, and particularly relates to a high-temperature fuel cell catalyst and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] With rapid economic and technological development, the problems of energy depletion and environmental pollution are becoming increasingly severe worldwide, and energy and environmental protection issues urgently need to be addressed. High-temperature fuel cells, as a new type of high-efficiency power generation device with advantages such as environmental friendliness, high energy utilization, strong stability, and low industrial noise, have become a research hotspot in many countries.

[0003] High-temperature proton exchange membranes (PTMs) are crucial components of high-temperature fuel cells. They typically use air and hydrogen (or methanol) as the anode and cathode gases, respectively. High-temperature Pt / C catalysts are among the most effective hydrogen evolution catalysts for PTMs. Domestically, high-temperature Pt / C catalysts are still in the experimental stage and rely heavily on imports, which severely restricts the independent development of domestic fuel cells. Furthermore, while traditional platinum-carbon catalysts utilize a variety of activated carbon supports, the resulting catalysts tend to have larger particle sizes. Smaller catalyst particle sizes would result in a larger active surface area, significantly impacting the overall redox reaction rate of the fuel cell and thus improving its overall performance.

[0004] Therefore, it is urgent to produce a Pt / C catalyst with strong electrocatalytic activity, high stability and good heat resistance. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this invention proposes a high-temperature fuel cell catalyst and its preparation method.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: A method for preparing a high-temperature fuel cell catalyst includes the following steps: (1) Acid treatment is performed on the porous carbon support to introduce oxygen-containing functional groups on its surface; (2) The acid-treated carbon support is mixed with chloroplatinic acid solution and reducing agent to obtain mixed solution 1; The chloroplatinic acid solution is obtained by mixing chloroplatinic acid with a reducing agent until homogeneous; (3) Add a mixture of sodium hydroxide and reducing agent to mixed solution 1 to adjust the pH of the system to 9-12 to obtain mixed solution 2; (4) The resulting mixed solution 2 was subjected to microwave heating and reflux reaction; (5) After the reaction is complete, the product is filtered, washed and freeze-dried under vacuum; (6) The product after vacuum freeze-drying is subjected to mixed gas heat treatment to obtain a catalyst with uniform particle size, high electrocatalytic activity and excellent thermal stability.

[0007] Beneficial effects: Through the above preparation process, this invention prepares a catalyst with strong electrocatalytic activity, high stability, and good heat resistance. The interaction mechanism between each step is as follows: Step 1: Acid treatment of porous carbon support Strong oxidizing acids (such as concentrated nitric acid and concentrated sulfuric acid) can chemically etch the surface of carbon supports under heating conditions. The negatively charged functional groups on the treated carbon surface can attract positively charged chloroplatinate ions in solution through electrostatic adsorption, providing "anchor points" for the subsequent adsorption of metal precursors and preventing the loss of metal ions in large quantities during washing or the initial stages of reduction. Improving the specific surface area utilization of the support and clearing the pores are also crucial. Enhancing the interaction between the support and the metal precursor is a prerequisite for achieving high dispersion of metal nanoparticles.

[0008] Step 2: Premixing the precursor and reducing agent The treated carbon support, chloroplatinic acid solution, and reducing agent (such as ethylene glycol or methanol) are mixed. Chloroplatinic acid ions are anchored on the carbon surface or within the pores through the functional groups generated in step (1). The reducing agent (such as alcohols) mainly acts as a dispersant and slows down the reduction. This step achieves in-situ adsorption of the metal precursor on the carbon surface, ensuring that the subsequent reduction reaction mainly occurs on the support surface, rather than homogeneous nucleation in the solution. Through impregnation and adsorption, a uniform distribution of the metal precursor at the microscale is achieved, laying the foundation for the subsequent formation of small-diameter particles.

[0009] Step 3: pH adjustment Add a mixture of NaOH (strong alkali) and reducing agent dropwise to adjust the pH to alkaline (9-12). An alkaline environment greatly enhances the reducing power of alcohols. Connecting steps (2) and (4) makes the reduction reaction more complete.

[0010] Step 4: Microwave heating and reflux reaction Microwave energy can directly act on polar molecules (such as water and ethylene glycol) and ions in solution, achieving "bulk phase heating" that is fast, uniform, and free from the hysteresis and temperature gradient of traditional heating. Under high temperature (150~250℃) and strong reducing conditions, platinum precursors adsorbed on the carbon surface are rapidly reduced to platinum atoms (Pt). 0 Due to the extremely rapid heating, the solution instantly reaches supersaturation, triggering explosive nucleation and generating a large number of crystal nuclei. Subsequently, the remaining platinum atoms grow on the crystal nuclei. By fully utilizing the anchor point of step (1) and the alkaline environment of step (3), complete reduction is achieved at high temperature (under reflux).

[0011] The uniform heating provided by microwaves avoids uneven particle size caused by localized overheating; the explosive nucleation mechanism ensures that the metal particles are small in size. Due to the numerous nucleation sites and short duration, the metal particles are firmly anchored to the carbon support, making migration and aggregation difficult.

[0012] Step 5: Cleaning and vacuum drying Repeated washing and filtration remove residual chloride ions, excess alkali, ethylene glycol oxidation products, and unreacted reducing agents, ensuring the smooth progress of step (6). If not thoroughly cleaned, residual organic matter will carbonize during subsequent high-temperature heat treatment, covering active sites; residual chloride ions at high temperatures can cause platinum grain migration and growth or catalyst poisoning.

[0013] Step 6: High-temperature mixed gas heat treatment An inert gas (such as N2 or Ar) acts as a protective gas to prevent the metal or carbon from oxidizing and burning at high temperatures. Hydrogen acts as a reducing gas to further reduce any possible oxidized platinum and remove any adsorbed organic residues on the surface. At 260–350 °C, platinum atoms gain energy to migrate and rearrange on the surface, eliminating lattice defects and increasing crystallinity. Simultaneously, it promotes moderate interaction between platinum and the functional group residues on the carbon support surface, enhancing the bonding force. This is the final shaping and reinforcement of steps (4) and (5).

[0014] Lattice reconstruction lowers the surface energy of platinum particles, making their structure more stable and less prone to dissolution or aggregation during electrochemical cycles or catalytic reactions. Complete reduction of platinum removes all remaining oxygen / chlorine-containing groups, maximizing the number of active sites. Heat treatment causes platinum particles to partially "embed" or adhere more tightly to the carbon substrate, reducing catalyst detachment.

[0015] Optionally, the strong acid used in the acid treatment in step (1) is concentrated nitric acid, concentrated sulfuric acid, or a mixture thereof.

[0016] Furthermore, the acid treatment conditions are as follows: acid treatment at 70–150°C for 0.5–5 hours.

[0017] Optionally, the mass concentration of chloroplatinic acid in the chloroplatinic acid solution in step (2) is 0.1-10% (meaning that the mass of chloroplatinic acid in 100ml of chloroplatinic acid solution is 0.1-10g).

[0018] Furthermore, the reducing agent mentioned in steps (2) and (3) is selected from at least one of ethylene glycol, methanol, or sodium borohydride.

[0019] Optionally, the ratio of sodium hydroxide to reducing agent in step (2) is 20 g: 500 mL.

[0020] Optionally, the temperature in the microwave heating reflux reaction process described in step (4) is 150-250°C, the microwave power is 500-900W, and the reaction time is 5-20 minutes.

[0021] Optionally, the mixed gas heat treatment temperature in step (6) is 260-350°C; the treatment time is 2-5 hours. The mixed gas is a mixture of an inert gas (such as nitrogen or argon) and hydrogen.

[0022] A high-temperature fuel cell catalyst is prepared by the above-described preparation method.

[0023] Optionally, the platinum particles in the high-temperature fuel cell catalyst are uniformly distributed in size between 1.5 and 1.6 nm.

[0024] Optionally, the half-wave potential of the high-temperature fuel cell catalyst is 0.85 to 0.87 V.

[0025] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages and technical effects: The preparation method of this invention enables the controllable preparation of platinum-carbon catalysts with platinum loadings exceeding 50%. During the synthesis process, high-power microwave heating is employed to induce explosive crystallization of platinum species, utilizing its rapid heating characteristic. This not only effectively suppresses particle agglomeration but also results in a more uniform size distribution of Pt nanoparticles, exposing a larger active surface area. Furthermore, subsequent heat treatment in a mixed atmosphere of inert gas and hydrogen effectively optimizes the interfacial structure between Pt and the carbon support, significantly improving the catalyst's durability and catalytic efficiency under high-temperature fuel cell conditions.

[0026] This invention successfully prepared a catalyst with highly uniform and dispersed platinum particles firmly anchored on a porous carbon support by optimizing key process steps such as carbon support surface modification, precursor adsorption, alkaline microwave reduction, and subsequent high-temperature mixed atmosphere heat treatment. While maintaining high metal utilization, this catalyst significantly improved the electrochemical active surface area and hydrogen evolution reaction kinetics, exhibiting excellent electrocatalytic activity with a half-wave potential of 0.85-0.87 V. Simultaneously, the high-temperature heat treatment reduced platinum lattice defects, increased crystallinity, and formed a stronger interfacial bond with the carbon support, effectively inhibiting the migration, aggregation, or detachment of platinum particles during high-temperature or electrochemical cycling, thereby greatly enhancing the catalyst's thermal stability and long-term operational durability.

[0027] In summary, the catalyst prepared by this invention has high activity, high stability and excellent heat resistance, which can meet the stringent requirements of high-temperature proton exchange membrane fuel cells for high-performance catalysts, and provides a reliable technical path for promoting the localization of core materials for domestic high-temperature fuel cells.
