The invention discloses a
residual oil derived carbon supported Pt-Co-Au
intermetallic compound as well as a preparation method and application thereof. According to the preparation method,
residual oil is used as a
carbon source,
nitrogen-doped
petroleum vacuum
residual oil porous carbon is synthesized through a template method and
nitrogen doping modification, and the high-dispersion
intermetallic compound
composite material Pt-Co-Au / NPPC is prepared with the
porous carbon material as a carrier through an impregnation reduction method. In the catalyst, the total
metal loading capacity is 30 to 50 percent by weight, the Pt loading capacity is 26 to 41 percent by weight, the
Co loading capacity is 3.8 to 7 percent by weight, and the Au loading capacity is 0.2 to 2 percent by weight. The residual oil derived carbon supported Pt-Co-Au
composite material nano catalyst prepared by the invention has efficient
oxygen reduction (ORR) catalytic activity, and the synthesized catalyst has the characteristic of small size. The small size can effectively improve the
utilization rate of Pt atoms, and the
doping of Au can optimize the
electronic structure of surface Pt, so that the ORR activity is improved. The fuel
cell membrane
electrode test peak
power density of the prepared catalyst under the
hydrogen-air condition reaches 1.12 W / cm < 2 >, the synthesis steps are simple, and the catalyst has good application prospects.
