Among them, the hydrogen-oxygen fuel cell is focused by people because of its advantages of cleanness, environmental protection, no pollution, large energy density, small weight, portability and the like, and is expected to become a substitute of the traditional fossil fuel. However, the occurrence of Oxygen Reduction Reaction (ORR) at the cathode of a fuel cell is a key factor that limits its efficiency, and since oxygen reduction reaction itself has a slow kinetic process, the selection of a suitable oxygen reduction catalyst is an effective means to overcome this problem.
At present, Pt/C catalysts are widely commercially available, but it is well known that the scarcity of Pt resources causes the Pt/C catalysts to be expensive; meanwhile, the Pt/C catalyst with high activity needs to prepare nano-grade Pt nano-particles, which requires a complex and super-high preparation process; finally, an important dilemma for Pt-based noble metal catalysts is that Pt is extremely susceptible to poisoning by methanol or carbon monoxide and inevitable degradation problems occur over long periods of testing, which can lead to instability over extended operating environment testing, causing significant activity decay.
Therefore, the development of the Pt-based precious metal ORR catalyst which is low in cost, simple in preparation process, stable and efficient is a research topic with important application significance, and is considered to be a feasible path for finally realizing large-scale application.

The invention also provides a hydrogen-oxygen fuel cell, wherein the ORR catalyst on the membrane electrode is the PtZn loaded nitrogen-doped carbon catalyst in the technical scheme.
Compared with the prior art, the PtZn-loaded nitrogen-doped carbon catalyst provided by the invention has the following beneficial effects:
1. the Pt atom is anchored by utilizing the capability of the phthalocyanine ring center for coordinating metal, and the excessive Zn atom is introduced to increase the distance between Pt and Pt, so that the aggregation of the material during pyrolysis is avoided, and therefore, the noble metal ORR catalyst with the PtZn nano size of less than 10nm is prepared, and the nano size control is the key premise that the PtZn/NC can exceed the commercial Pt/C.
2. The electronic structure of Pt is changed by introducing Zn atoms, and XRD analysis of PtZn/NC shows that (111) crystal face in PtZn generates compressive strain compared with Pt (111) crystal face, which indicates that d-band center moves downwards, which means that the adsorption capacity of PtZn/NC for oxygen is weakened, so that the PtZn/NC has ORR catalytic activity superior to that of Pt/C, and the regulation and control of the electronic structure can clearly explain the catalytic mechanism.
3. Zn atoms have the same atomic radius as Pt, and can be easily filled when the PtZn alloy is degraded to generate defects, which is important for improving the stability of the catalyst, so that the PtZn/C also shows excellent stability and durability.
4. The catalyst material prepared by the invention not only shows high-efficiency oxygen reduction catalytic activity (half-wave potential is 0.85V (vs. RHE), but also is superior to 0.83V (vs. RHE) of a commercial platinum-carbon catalyst, and simultaneously also shows excellent hydrogen evolution performance, and the hydrogen evolution performance of the catalyst material is that the current density of the hydrogen evolution is 10mA/cm2Has an extremely low overvoltage of 5mV (vs. RHE), and the PtZn/NC prepared membrane-forming electrode assembly applied to a hydrogen-oxygen fuel cell is tested to show that the potential is as high as 1W/cm2Peak power density ofThis also surpassed the commercial Pt/C as the hydrogen-oxygen fuel cell test results for MEA.

Example 4
S1, preparation of PtZn phthalocyanine polymer (PtZnPPc):
0.035mmol (2.1g) of urea, 0.01mmol (0.5g) of ammonium chloride, 0.37mmol (0.13g) of ammonium molybdate and 5mmol (1.1g) of pyromellitic dianhydride are weighed and added into a mortar, then ammonium chloroplatinate and zinc chloride (wherein, the molar weight of the ammonium chloroplatinate is fixed to be 0.5mmol) are respectively added according to the Pt: Zn molar ratio of 1: 1, 1: 5, 1: 10, 1: 20 (corresponding to the example 1), 1: 30 and 1: 50, the mixture is fully ground and transferred into a magnetic boat, the magnetic boat is placed into a tubular furnace, and the mixture is heated and treated for 2 hours at 220 ℃ in the air atmosphere, so that light green powder is obtained. Washing and filtering the PtZn phthalocyanine polymer powder by water, methanol and acetone in sequence to obtain PtZn phthalocyanine polymer powder which is respectively named as: pt1Zn1PPc、Pt1Zn5PPc、Pt1Zn10PPc、Pt1Zn20PPc、Pt1Zn30PPc、 Pt1Zn50PPc。
S2, preparing a PtZn-loaded nitrogen-doped carbon material catalyst:
the procedure of example 1 was followed and the catalyst powders obtained were respectively designated: pt1Zn1/NC、 Pt1Zn5/NC、Pt1Zn10/NC、Pt1Zn20/NC (i.e., product of example 1), Pt1Zn30/NC、Pt1Zn50/NC。
The 6 catalyst samples were prepared into oxygen reduction electrode materials according to example 3, and oxygen reduction linear scan LSV curves were tested according to example 3, and the results are shown in fig. 8, where fig. 8 is a comparison graph of oxygen reduction LSV of the catalyst samples based on 6 different Pt/Zn ratios in example 4. The main comparative index of the oxygen reduction property of the catalyst is a half-wave potential, that is, a potential corresponding to a half value of a limiting current density (current density J corresponding to 0.2V on the abscissa in the figure), and a larger (positive) value indicates a more rapid reduction of oxygen and a more excellent oxygen reduction property.
As can be seen from FIG. 8, Pt1Zn5Half wave power of/NCBit 0.71V, Pt1Zn10The half-wave potential of/NC is 0.80V, Pt1Zn20Half-wave potential 0.85V, Pt of/NC1Zn30Half-wave potential 0.80V, Pt of/NC1Zn50Half-wave potential of 0.65V/NC, wherein Pt1Zn20the/NC showed the most excellent oxygen reduction activity, i.e. half-wave potential of 0.85V, significantly higher than the other molar ratio catalysts, and higher than the commercial platinum-carbon catalyst (0.83V, vs. When the Pt/Zn ratio is 1: 1, 1: 5 and 1: 10, the Zn ratio is too small, and the distance between Pt and Pt is not effectively separated, so that Pt is aggregated; when the Pt/Zn ratio is 1: 30 or 1: 50, excessive Zn evaporation at the pyrolysis temperature causes collapse of the carbon material structure, and the carbon skeleton is destroyed, so that the material stability is lowered.
It can be seen from the above embodiments that the present invention provides a method for preparing a catalyst PtZn/NC by a solid phase method, wherein ammonium chloroplatinate which is low in price and easy to store is used as a Pt precursor, the ability of coordination metal of a phthalocyanine macrocycle center is utilized to anchor Pt atoms and the size of a PtZn alloy is controlled by high temperature evaporation of Zn, and meanwhile, the introduction of zinc atoms changes the electronic structure of Pt, so that the (111) crystal face in PtZn is subjected to compressive strain compared with the Pt (111) crystal face, which indicates that the d-band center is shifted down to weaken the adsorption ability of PtZn/NC for oxygen, thereby having an ORR catalytic activity superior to that of Pt/C, and finally, the Zn atoms have the same atomic radius as Pt, and when the PtZn alloy is degraded to generate defects, Zn can be easily filled, which is crucial for improving the stability of the catalyst, PtZn/NC also showed high activity and high stability over commercial Pt/C. The membrane-forming electrode assembly prepared by the catalyst material of the invention is tested in a hydrogen-oxygen fuel cell and shows up to 1W/cm2The peak power density means that the catalyst has significant practical application value, and theoretical basis and experimental guidance are provided for storage and conversion technology of hydrogen energy sources.
