Description

Preparation method of fuel cell catalyst with monatomic and nanocrystalline composite structure
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of nano materials, in particular to a preparation method of a fuel cell catalyst with a monatomic and nanocrystalline composite structure.
Background
In the face of environmental pollution and energy crisis caused by excessive consumption of fossil fuels, the search for more sustainable and renewable energy sources has become one of the most important challenges today. Hydrogen energy is considered as the ultimate energy source for humans, and Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells (PEMFCs) are the main form of hydrogen energy utilization. PEMFCs are highly efficient power generation devices that utilize electrochemical reactions to convert H2/O2The chemical energy in the process is directly converted into electric energy, is not limited by the Carnot cycle effect, and has the characteristics of high energy conversion efficiency, low operation temperature, no pollution and the like. However, the reduction reaction of oxygen molecules on the cathode is slow, and a large amount of noble metal Pt catalyst is needed to improve the reaction speed and efficiency. Platinum group metal catalystsThe agent has sufficient catalytic activity for both hydrogen oxidation and oxygen reduction, and catalytic reactions at both the cathode and anode of the PEMFC do not depart from platinum-based catalysts. Thus, platinum carbon has heretofore remained the most commercially used catalyst. Due to the high price and low resources of platinum, there is a great deal of effort to design advanced platinum-based catalysts to improve the utilization of platinum.
Although many researches report methods for synthesizing a cathode catalyst of a proton exchange membrane fuel cell, most of the methods have complex synthesis steps and poor repeatability, and are difficult to realize industrial application, so that no fuel cell catalyst meeting the commercial application standard is reported in China. At present, the means for improving the utilization rate of the platinum-based catalyst mainly comprises two methods of reasonably controlling the size of the platinum nanocrystal and alloying the platinum nanocrystal, and Pt nanoparticles synthesized by simply controlling the size of the platinum-based nanoparticles are easy to migrate and agglomerate on the surface of a carrier, so that the stability and the catalytic activity of a fuel cell are reduced; alloying of platinum is an effective method for increasing the intrinsic activity of the catalyst and reducing the amount of platinum used, for example, by alloying Pt with Fe, Co, Ni, etc. The monatomic catalysts (SACs) have the maximum atom utilization rate and unique performance as a new field of catalytic scientific development in recent years, and have great potential in the aspects of reasonably utilizing precious metal resources and realizing economic benefits. Therefore, the development of a simple, effective, good-repeatability and high-universality synthesis method has very important significance in improving the activity of the catalyst and effectively inhibiting the agglomeration and inactivation of the nanocrystal by utilizing the composite structure of the monoatomic metal and the nanocrystal and reducing the dosage of the noble metal Pt.
