Description

Method for solid-phase macro synthesis of non-noble metal oxygen reduction catalyst, catalyst and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of catalysts, and relates to a method for solid-phase macro synthesis of a non-noble metal oxygen reduction catalyst, a catalyst and application thereof.
Background art:
at present, the energy crisis and the environmental pollution problem are more and more emphasized by all countries in the world, and the development of new energy which is safe, clean, efficient and can be continuously developed is the best way for solving the energy problem and the environmental crisis. A fuel cell is a device that directly converts chemical energy into electrical energy. The energy conversion device has the outstanding characteristics of high energy conversion efficiency, environmental friendliness, low operation temperature, high specific power and specific energy and the like, and is considered to be the most promising chemical power source for electric automobiles and other civil occasions in the future. Meanwhile, the metal-air battery has good research potential and commercial foundation due to the unique advantages of high energy, low cost, good safety performance, environmental protection and the like, and plays an indispensable role in the field of energy application in the future. The kinetics of oxygen reduction reaction in the key cathode processes of the two batteries are slow, and rare noble metal is required to be used as a catalyst, so that the large-scale application of the fuel battery and the metal-air battery is seriously hindered. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop non-noble metal oxygen reduction catalysts.
In recent years, a great deal of research is carried out on the preparation of non-noble metal oxygen reduction catalysts at home and abroad, and the non-noble metal oxygen reduction catalysts can be mainly divided into the following categories: carbon materials modified based on iron/cobalt and nitrogen elements, carbon materials doped with heteroatoms, oxides or sulfides or nitrides or oxynitrides based on transition metals, and the like. Among them, carbon materials based on iron/cobalt and nitrogen element modification are considered to have the most potential to replace the current commercial platinum carbon catalyst. However, most of carbon materials modified based on iron/cobalt and nitrogen elements have complex preparation methods, the preparation process conditions are not easy to control, only a small amount of catalyst can be obtained in a single preparation, and the method is extremely not beneficial to large-scale industrial production of the catalyst. As is well known, solid phase synthesis has many advantages in synthesis, such as convenient operation, simple synthesis process, low cost, controllable particle size, safety, environmental protection, and the like, and can avoid or reduce the phenomenon of hard agglomeration easily occurring in liquid phase. The solid phase macro synthesis can greatly simplify the production process and reduce the production cost, thereby industrially synthesizing the catalyst on a large scale. Based on the method, the high-activity non-noble metal oxygen reduction catalyst synthesized in a solid phase in a large scale is developed, and the method has great significance for large-scale industrial economic and efficient acquisition of the non-noble metal oxygen reduction catalyst and industrialization of fuel cells and metal-air cells.

Compared with other preparation methods such as wet chemical synthesis and the like, the preparation method has the advantages of simple process, low cost, convenient operation and easy large-scale industrial production.
The method for solid-phase macro synthesis of the non-noble metal oxygen reduction catalyst provided by the invention comprises the following steps:
(1) uniformly mixing a chelating agent and an inorganic metal salt, and then fully carrying out solid-phase grinding to obtain a precursor;
(2) and carrying out heat treatment on the precursor in an inert atmosphere, washing, separating and drying to obtain the non-noble metal oxygen reduction catalyst.
In the step (1) of the above method, the chelating agent is a compound having an alkylcarboxyl group bonded to a nitrogen atom. Preferably, the chelating agent has three alkylcarboxy groups attached to the nitrogen atom, and most preferably nitrilotriacetic acid (cas: 139-13-9). The chelating agent may be at least one selected from ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (cas: 60-00-4), cyclohexanediaminetetraacetic acid (cas: 25637-70-1), hydroxyethylethylenediaminetriacetic acid (cas: 150-39-0), diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (cas: 67-43-6), and ethyleneglycoldiethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (cas: 67-42-5).
In the step (1) of the above method, the inorganic metal salt may be one or more of inorganic metal salts of iron, cobalt and nickel, and preferably one or more of inorganic metal salts of cobalt.
In the step (1) of the method, the charging molar ratio of the chelating agent to the inorganic metal salt is 1:0.1-10, preferably 1: 1.5-2.5.
In the step (2) of the above method, the heat treatment temperature may be 500 ℃ to 1000 ℃, preferably 800 ℃ to 1000 ℃; the calcination time may be from 0.5 hours to 10 hours, preferably from 2 hours to 3 hours; the heating rate is 3-15 deg.C/min.
The non-noble metal oxygen reduction catalyst preferably has a micropore and mesopore double-distribution structure, and the pore diameter range of the pores is 0nm-100 nm; preferably, the mesopores are 2-50nm, and the micropores are 0.1-2 nm; further preferably, the mesopores are 35 to 45nm and the micropores are 0.5 to 2 nm.

The preparation method provided by the invention mainly comprises the steps of uniformly mixing the chelating agent and the inorganic metal salt, fully grinding and further carrying out heat treatment. Because the chelating agent has strong coordination capacity with the selected inorganic metal salt, the chelating agent can be fully contacted with metal ions in the inorganic metal salt in the solid-phase grinding process to generate solid-phase coordination reaction. During the high-temperature heat treatment process, the kinetic process of the solid-phase coordination reaction is further accelerated, and a large amount of organic metal complexes are formed. Meanwhile, under the condition of high temperature, partial metal ions are reduced into metal particles, the graphitization process of the catalyst is further catalyzed, and partial products further form the morphology of the catalyst with the phellopterin-shaped micro-mesoporous distribution. The morphology is beneficial for increasing active sites and is convenient for the transmission of reaction substances. Because the selected chelating agent contains carbon and nitrogen elements, cobalt (or nickel or iron carbide) particles and cobalt (or nickel or iron)/nitrogen/carbon active sites can be formed. Based on the characteristics, the obtained coralliform non-noble metal catalyst shows more excellent oxygen reduction performance.
Compared with other prior art, the invention has the following advantages:

Meanwhile, the specific chelating agents involved in the solid phase coordination process are all specific chelating agents with similar structures, and compared with almost all liquid phase coordination processes for preparing catalysts with similar performances at present, the solid phase coordination process is more convenient and easier to implement, and is more suitable for industrial production.
