Description

Platinum-based alloy catalyst for fuel cell and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to an alloy catalyst and a preparation method thereof, in particular to a fuel cell platinum-based alloy catalyst and a preparation method thereof.
Background
The fuel cell can directly convert chemical energy into electric energy, and has the advantages of high energy utilization rate, environmental protection and zero emission. In a fuel cell, a catalyst is a core component of the fuel cell, and directly affects the energy efficiency and power of the fuel cell. Among many catalysts, Pt-based fuel cell catalysts are the best choice for fuel cell catalysts due to their superior catalytic activity and stability, and are currently the only fuel cell catalysts for commercial applications. However, in the face of the high price and limited earth reserves of Pt, increasing the utilization efficiency of Pt is the technological front of current fuel cells. At present, transition metal elements such as Fe, Co, Ni and the like are alloyed with Pt, so that the use amount of Pt can be reduced, the binding energy of Pt and an oxygen-containing intermediate is weakened, and the catalytic activity is improved.
Among the numerous PtM alloy catalysts, PtCo and PtNi are considered as the two most promising alloy catalysts. Chen et al found that active Pt/t was present in a 0.1 mol/L HCOl4 solution<Pt3Ni/C<Pt3The law of Co/C. The conventional preparation method of the PtM alloy catalyst comprises a microwave-assisted glycol reduction method, a solvothermal reduction method, a hydrogen reduction method and the like. The microwave-assisted reduction method is difficult to synthesize the PtCo alloy catalyst due to the weak reduction capability of ethylene glycol; the solvothermal reduction method uses a large amount of organic solvent and surfactant, and besides pollution caused by the solvothermal reduction method, the addition of the surfactant adsorbs the surfaces of the nano particles, so that the washing difficulty is high, and the organic solvent used in the washing process also causes pollution to the environment.
The Pt-based alloy catalyst prepared by the hydrogen reduction method has strong hydrogen reducibility, and the solid-gas phase reaction is thorough and uniform, so that the method is more favorable for mass production. Patent CN111092235A discloses a platinum-based catalyst for fuel cell and its preparation method, which utilizes freeze-drying method to mix cobalt salt, platinum-carbon catalyst and volatile solvent uniformly, and reduces them in reducing atmosphere. Firstly, the method uses inorganic transition metal salt as a precursor, the required reduction temperature is relatively high, alloy agglomeration is easily caused, and the performance of the catalyst is influenced; meanwhile, the freezing point of the volatile solvent (ethanol and acetone) used in the method is extremely low, the freeze-drying method consumes a large amount of energy and is not in line with the green low-carbon target, and the freeze-drying method has high requirements on equipment and is not beneficial to large-scale commercial production.

The purpose of the invention is as follows: the invention aims to provide a fuel cell platinum-based alloy catalyst which has high and stable catalytic performance and is beneficial to rapid production; another object of the present invention is to provide a method for preparing a platinum-based alloy catalyst for a fuel cell.
The technical scheme is as follows: the fuel cell platinum-based alloy catalyst takes Pt as a shell and transition metal as a core, wherein the molar ratio of the Pt to the transition metal is 2.08-3.12: 1; the transition metal is at least one of Co or Ni; the preparation method of the fuel cell platinum-based alloy catalyst comprises the following steps:
(1) dispersing transition metal acetylacetone salt and platinum carbon in a molar ratio of 3:1-4:1 in an ethanol solution to prepare a pasty mixture;
(2) the mixture is dried at constant temperature, annealed, acid-washed and dried to prepare the platinum-based alloy catalyst.
Further, the fuel cell catalyst is at least one of PtCo, PtNi and PtCoNi; preferably PtCo.
In another aspect, the method for preparing a platinum-based alloy catalyst for a fuel cell of the present invention comprises the steps of:
(1) dispersing transition metal acetylacetone salt and platinum carbon with a molar ratio of 3:1-4:1 in an ethanol solution by utilizing ultrasonic dispersion and magnetic stirring to prepare a pasty mixture; because the catalyst prepared by the method is subjected to the post-treatment method of acid washing, the molar ratio of platinum to transition metal in the actually obtained catalyst sample is not consistent with the feeding ratio, and the final result is the Inductively Coupled Plasma (ICP) test result.
(2) The mixture is dried at constant temperature, annealed, acid-washed and dried to prepare the platinum-based alloy catalyst.
Further, in the step (1), the platinum loading of the platinum carbon is 5-60% by mass, and the platinum loading is preferably 20% by mass.
Further, in the step (1), the volume ratio of the mass of the platinum carbon to the ethanol in the ethanol solution is 2g/L-10 g/L; the preferred ratio of the mass of platinum carbon to the volume of ethanol in the ethanol solution is 8 g/L.
Further, in the step (1), the transition metal in the transition metal acetylacetonate is at least one of Co or Ni.
Further, in the step (2), the annealing temperature is 600-; the preferred annealing temperature is 600 ℃ and the annealing time is 4 h.
Further, in the step (2), the annealing atmosphere is a hydrogen-argon mixed gas or a nitrogen-argon mixed gas.
Further, in the step (2), the reagent used for acid washing is dilute sulfuric acid, the concentration is 0.1-2M, and the acid washing time is 1-24 h.
Compared with the traditional alloy catalyst synthesis method, the method takes small-size platinum metal nano particles as cores, and successfully diffuses reduced transition metal atoms into the platinum metal particles by utilizing the surface segregation effect of platinum and transition metal and adopting a step-by-step reduction method in the thermal annealing process to form the Pt-M alloy. The stepwise reduction method of the invention overcomes the problem of large difference of reduction potential between platinum and transition metal ions, and avoids forming alloy with large grain diameter to influence the activity of the catalyst. Meanwhile, under the conditions of high temperature and hydrogen argon atmosphere, the method is favorable for forming a core-shell structure taking platinum as a shell and transition metal as a core, can improve the overall activity of the catalyst, can reduce the platinum dosage, and has the advantages of economy and high efficiency.
The invention fully utilizes the advantages of organic metal salt of acetylacetone. Firstly, the organic metal salt of acetylacetone is dissolved in ethanol and is slightly soluble in water, and a proper water-alcohol system is selected, so that the solvent can be evaporated at a lower temperature, and the organic metal salt is adsorbed on a platinum-carbon catalyst. Secondly, acetylacetone metal salts are excellent metal complexes whose carbonyl oxygen atoms coordinate with metal ions to form stable six-membered chelate rings. Most of the acetylacetone salt is easy to sublimate, so that the temperature required by reducing metal ions is low, and the grain diameter of the generated alloy is small. Within a certain range, the smaller the particle size of the catalyst of the same type is, the higher the activity of the catalyst is. Therefore, the acetylacetone metal salt has great application prospect in the field of alloy catalyst synthesis.
The invention forms ternary PtM by doping a trace amount of second transition metal1M2Alloy catalyst, change reaction path, and make the catalyst activity higher than original PtM1The alloy performance is improved by 40%. In particular, PtM1M2Is PtCoNi; PtM1For PtCo, trace Ni is doped in PtCo to reduce O2The decomposition barrier makes the reaction easier to be carried out, and the catalyst activity is improved, so that the catalyst activity is improved by 40 percent compared with the performance of the original PtCo alloy.
Has the advantages that: compared with the prior art, the invention has the following remarkable advantages: (1) the catalyst prepared by the method is stable and efficient, is suitable for rapid large-scale production, and is suitable for preparation of different transition metal alloy catalysts compared with the traditional platinum-based catalyst for chemical synthesis;
