Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of nano material preparation, relates to a preparation method of a non-noble metal monatomic bifunctional electrocatalyst, and particularly relates to a high-efficiency and corrosion-resistant non-noble metal monatomic bifunctional electrocatalyst and application thereof in oxygen reduction and oxygen precipitation reactions.
Background
With increasing interest in renewable energy storage and conversion technologies, such as metal air batteries and fuel cells. Among various energy storage devices, zinc-air batteries (ZABs) are considered one of the most promising technologies. Due to its high theoretical specific energy density (1086wh/kg) replacing lithium ion batteries used in electric vehicles and other energy demanding devices. It has low cost, high safety and excellent performance. For rechargeable air batteries, Pt and Ir/Ru-metal-based materials have been widely used for oxygen reduction and oxygen evolution reactions, however, Pt and Ir/Ru-metal-based materials have disadvantages of low reserves, high costs, and the like. Therefore, the development of non-Pt and Ir/Ru-metal based material catalysts is an urgent need for practical applications.
Among them, the monatomic catalyst has attracted extensive research interest due to its characteristics of fully exposed active sites, high catalytic activity, and the like. Researchers have developed methods of preparing monatomic catalysts in recent years, including physical and chemical route synthesis.

Traditional chemical approaches such as wet impregnation, co-precipitation and photo-deposition generally have the defects of complicated synthesis steps, low active site density, high preparation cost, poor repeatability, single catalytic property and the like.
Furthermore, due to the relatively high energy of the monoatomic atoms, and the lack of strong interaction between the monoatomic atoms and the support, aggregation of the monoatomic atoms into clusters or nanoparticles is inevitable to some extent, and these influencing factors limit the practical industrial application of the monoatomic catalysts. In order to meet the industrial requirements of low preparation cost, large-scale production, good repeatability and the like, an advanced synthesis method is urgently needed, but the preparation of the monatomic catalyst still has challenges.
Therefore, the development of a preparation method of a single-atom bifunctional electrocatalyst with excellent performance, low cost and large-scale production is a technical problem to be solved by technical personnel in the field.

(3) The non-noble metal single-atom bifunctional electrocatalyst prepared by the method disclosed by the invention is subjected to the following structural characterization and performance tests, which are specifically as follows:
scanning electron microscope SEM and projection electron microscope TEM images (figure 1 and figure 2) show that the synthesized Cu-N-C monatomic electrocatalyst has the characteristics of spherical morphology, uniform size and good dispersibility.
The general XRD of the X-ray diffraction pattern (fig. 3) shows that the electrocatalyst prepared has no characteristic peak belonging to Cu nanoparticles, except for the characteristic peak belonging to (002) of graphitic carbon, which is located around 26 °.
The specific surface area and pore size distribution of the synthesized electrocatalyst Cu-N-C were investigated by measuring the nitrogen sorption-desorption isotherm curve (fig. 4). Cu-N-C has very large specific surface area (1500 m)2/g)。
In addition, the pore size distribution curve indicates that the distribution of pores in Cu-N-C is mainly concentrated in the mesoporous region. The large specific surface area is beneficial to the exposure of active sites, and the abundant pores are beneficial to the full contact of the active sites and a reaction medium and the mass transfer of reaction species, so that the catalytic activity of the catalyst is improved.
We have characterised the oxygen reduction performance of the synthesised catalyst by using the Rotating Disc Electrode (RDE) technique. The polarization curves in fig. 5 show that the starting point and half-wave point of the prepared Cu-N-C electrocatalyst are 0.98V (vs. rhe) and 0.87V (vs. rhe), respectively. And other monatomic electrocatalysts synthesized by adopting the scheme also have excellent catalytic properties.
To better evaluate the catalyst, we characterized the stability of the Cu-N-C electrocatalyst, as shown in fig. 6, the polarization curve of the Cu-N-C electrocatalyst was hardly shifted after 3000 cycles of Cyclic Voltammetry (CV) scan, demonstrating the very superior stability of the electrocatalyst prepared by this universal method.
The previous description of the disclosed embodiments is provided to enable any person skilled in the art to make or use the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the generic principles defined herein may be applied to other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention. Thus, the present invention is not intended to be limited to the embodiments shown herein but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
