Description

A high-activity / stable nitrogen-phosphorus-modified platinum-based fuel cell catalyst and its preparation method Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of new energy materials, and specifically relates to a high-activity and high-stability nitrogen-phosphorus modified carbon-supported platinum-based metal catalyst and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Catalysts are one of the most core materials of fuel cells and play a decisive role in the performance of fuel cells. Developing high-performance fuel cell catalysts, reducing the use of precious metal platinum, and improving the performance of fuel cells have always been the most important research topics in the fuel cell field.

[0003] Currently, the most widely used fuel cell catalysts are carbon-supported platinum catalysts (Pt / C) or carbon-supported platinum alloy catalysts (such as PtRu / C), which use conductive carbon black as a carrier and platinum as an important active component. The activity and durability of the catalysts are in urgent need of improvement. In recent years, the platinum-based intermetallic compound low-platinum catalysts (such as Umicore's Pt3Co / C catalyst) developed have significantly improved the platinum mass activity compared to JM Pt / C catalysts, and the amount of platinum used has also been reduced accordingly. However, with the rapid development of fuel cell technology and the continuous improvement of cost and performance requirements, the activity and durability of current catalysts still need to be greatly improved. The development of fuel cell cathode oxygen reduction catalysts with higher activity and stability remains an important research topic in the fuel cell field.

[0004] To improve the activity and stability of catalysts, elemental modification has been widely studied. Chinese invention patent CN201110421469.9 reports the preparation and application of a Pt / Au / PdCo / C catalyst. The applicant discovered that Au-modified PtPdCo / C significantly improved its activity and stability. However, using expensive gold-modified catalysts further increases catalyst costs, and the modification effect also falls short of expectations.

[0005] Chinese invention patent CN201310410537.0 proposes a method for modifying a Pt / C catalyst with polyaniline. The polyaniline modification effectively improves the stability and durability of the catalyst. However, this modification method does not improve the activity of the catalyst, but instead results in a certain degree of decrease in activity.

[0006] Although element modification can improve the activity or stability of catalysts, the currently reported element modification methods or modified platinum-based catalysts cannot meet the requirements of the commercialization of proton exchange membrane fuel cells for continuously improving catalyst performance.

[0007] Summary of the Invention

The nitrogen-phosphorus modification method can also be directly used to modify carbon-supported platinum or carbon-supported platinum-based intermetallic compound catalyst.

After ultrasonic dispersion, use a pipette to transfer 5 μL of catalyst slurry and drop it on the surface of the glassy carbon electrode. After natural drying, test its oxygen reduction catalytic activity in an oxygen-saturated 0.1 M HClO4 solution.

[0055] FIG1 is the XRD test result of the catalyst; FIG2 to FIG5 are the results of the oxygen reduction activity and durability test of the catalyst.

[0056] The XRD comparison diagrams of the PtCo / C and NP-PtCo / C intermetallic compound catalysts prepared in Comparative Example 1 and Example 1 are shown in Figure 1. It can be seen that the XRD spectra of the PtCo / C and NP-PtCo / C catalysts perfectly match the PDF#43-1358 card of the standard ordered PtCo, that is, this method can effectively prepare ordered PtCo intermetallic compounds.

[0057] Figure 2 shows the oxygen reduction curves of PtCo / C and NP-PtCo / C intermetallic compound catalysts prepared in Comparative Example 1 and Example 3, as well as the polarization curves before and after the catalytic stability test. The half-wave potential and mass activity of the nitrogen-phosphorus modified NP-PtCo / C catalyst are 0.969 V vs. RHE and 1.82 A mg, respectively. Pt -1 The half-wave potential and mass activity of the unmodified PtCo / C intermetallic compound catalyst are 0.914 V vs. RHE and 0.38 A mg Pt -1 ; The mass activity increased 5 times after nitrogen and phosphorus modification.

[0058] After 5000 cycles of cycling stability testing, the half-wave potential of the PtCo / C intermetallic compound catalyst was 0.900 V vs. RHE, a decrease of 14 mV, while the half-wave potential of the NP-PtCo / C intermetallic compound catalyst was 0.966 V vs. RHE, a decrease of only 3 mV. Nitrogen and phosphorus modification reduced the attenuation of the catalyst by more than 80%.

[0059] As shown in Figure 3, the half-wave potential and mass activity of the commercial Pt / C catalyst (JM Pt / C) after nitrogen and phosphorus modification are 0.916 V (vs. RHE) and 0.47 A mg Pt -1 The mass activity was 3 times that of the unmodified catalyst (0.893 V vs. RHE and 0.18 A mg Pt -1 ); after 5,000 cycles of cycling stability testing, the half-wave potential of the nitrogen-phosphorus modified catalyst (NP-JM Pt / C) was 0.913 V (vs. RHE), a decrease of only 3 mV, while the half-wave potential of the unmodified JM Pt / C was 0.864 V vs. RHE, a decrease of as much as 29 mV; the decline in the modified catalyst was reduced by 90%.

[0060] Figure 4 shows the test results of the Umicore PtCo / C catalyst and the nitrogen-phosphorus modified catalyst (NP-Umicore PtCo / C). The half-wave potential and mass activity of the nitrogen-phosphorus modified NP-Umicore PtCo / C catalyst are 0.952 V (vs. RHE) and 1.46 A mg Pt -1 The mass activity is about doubled (Umicore PtCo / C catalyst is 0.935V vs.RHE and 0.85A mg Pt -1 ); After 5000 cycles of stability testing, the half-wave potential of the NP-Umicore PtCo / C catalyst did not decrease and remained at 0.952 V (vs. RHE), while the half-wave potential of the Umicore PtCo / C was 0.916 V (vs. RHE), a decrease of 19 mV. This shows that nitrogen and phosphorus modification can significantly improve the stability of PtCo intermetallic compounds.

[0061] The half-wave potentials and initial mass specific activities of the PtCo / C, NP-PtCo / C, NP-JM Pt / C and NP-Umicore Pt / C catalysts prepared in Comparative Example 1 and several examples are shown in Table 1;
