The invention provides an NC loaded Rh monatomic and Dy2O3 catalyst and a preparation method and application thereof.The preparation method comprises the steps that
zinc nitrate, an Rh precursor and a Dy precursor are dissolved in methyl
alcohol,
ultrasonic dispersion is conducted, and a solution A is obtained; dissolving 2-methylimidazole in
methanol, and carrying out
ultrasonic dispersion to obtain a solution B; mixing the solution A and the solution B, carrying out
hydrothermal reaction on the obtained
mixed solution, cooling, centrifuging, collecting nanocrystals, and washing with
methanol to obtain RhDy ZIF-8; and
roasting the RhDy ZIF-8, cooling, and
grinding to obtain the Dy2O3-Rh / NC catalyst. According to the NC-loaded Rh single atom and Dy2O3
composite material obtained by the method, high-dispersion single atom activity is maintained, and meanwhile, Dy2O3 and Rh single atoms cooperate to endow a catalyst with excellent
CO poisoning resistance and FAOR resistance through unique oxyphilicity of Dy2O3, so that the NC-loaded Rh single atom and Dy2O3
composite material shows huge application potential in high-concentration
formic acid fuel cells.
