Description

Method for preparing alloy catalyst for fuel cell in limited domain
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of fuel cells, and particularly relates to a preparation method of an alloy catalyst for a fuel cell with high stability and high performance.
Background
The Membrane Electrode Assembly (MEA) of a fuel cell is a key component of the fuel cell, and the catalytic layer on the MEA is a place where reaction occurs, and the performance of the MEA directly determines the power density of the fuel cell. Fuel cell cathode catalysts are always subject to a key problem of slow kinetic reactions, and therefore large amounts of Pt metal are often required in fuel cell stacks, resulting in increased costs. Meanwhile, the fuel cell has problems of insufficient durability, etc., which seriously affects the commercialization progress of the fuel cell. The durability of the membrane electrode is insufficient mainly because the Pt particles on the surface of the catalyst are easy to migrate, agglomerate, fall off and dissolve on the carrier in the operating state of the fuel cell, which reduces the active area of the catalyst, and further reduces the catalytic performance of the catalyst, resulting in the performance reduction of the fuel cell. Therefore, on the premise of not reducing or even improving the performance of the platinum-based catalyst, the emphasis on improving the utilization rate of the noble metal platinum and reducing the cost is the current research.
Alloying noble metal Pt with lower-priced transition metals and main group metals is an effective way to improve catalytic activity of the catalyst, enhance stability, and improve Pt utilization rate and thus reduce Pt usage. The Pt-based alloy has better catalytic performance and better application prospect, and mainly comes from the following sources: (1) the addition of the transition metal can adjust the electronic structure of Pt, reduce the d-band center of Pt, further improve the adsorption property of Pt on the oxygen reduction oxygen-containing intermediate and improve the catalytic performance of the catalyst; (2) transition metal enters into crystal lattices of Pt to cause obvious tensile crystal lattice strain on a surface Pt layer, so that the catalytic performance of the catalyst is further adjusted; (3) the Pt alloy can be prepared, so that the use amount of Pt can be reduced, and the cost of the membrane electrode is reduced. However, the preparation of Pt-based alloys often requires high temperature conditions to promote alloying, which results in difficult control of particle size, and disordered movement of the transition metal during heat treatment also results in difficult uniform distribution of particles on the carbon support. Therefore, how to prepare a Pt-based alloy with uniformly distributed particles and a small size still presents a great challenge.
Chinese patent CN 113161563a discloses a platinum-cobalt alloy catalyst for fuel cells and a preparation method thereof, wherein a polyol reduction method is adopted to prepare the platinum-cobalt alloy catalyst, and the method mainly comprises the steps of adding a platinum precursor, a cobalt precursor, a carbon carrier and a reducing agent into polyol, and directly reacting in the polyol to obtain the carbon-supported alloy catalyst. However, in this method, the size control of the alloy particles, the uniformity of the particle distribution, and the control of the alloy composition need to be optimized.
Disclosure of Invention

Further, the amount of the metal precursor is converted according to the mass ratio of the noble metal to the metal element in the metal precursor of 1:1-1: 7.
Further, the reducing atmosphere is hydrogen or a mixed gas of hydrogen and inert gas, wherein the volume content of the hydrogen is 1-100%;
further, the high-temperature alloying is carried out for 0.5 to 6 hours at the temperature of between 300 and 1000 ℃.
Further, the size of alloy particles in the obtained alloy catalyst is 2-4 nm.
Compared with the current situation, the invention has the following beneficial effects:
1. according to the invention, a metal precursor is deposited around and on the surface of the noble metal particles, in the high-temperature calcination process, part of the metal precursor is firstly generated into a metal simple substance in a high-temperature reducing atmosphere, and then enters the crystal lattice of the noble metal through migration to form an alloy, so that the performance of the catalyst can be promoted to be improved; meanwhile, the metal precursor deposited around the noble metal particles has a confinement effect on the noble metal particles, and can prevent the noble metal particles from agglomerating and growing up in the high-temperature calcination process, so that alloy particles with smaller size and uniform distribution are formed, the reduction of the electrochemical active area is avoided, and the catalytic efficiency is further improved.
2. The invention provides metal elements required for forming the alloy by depositing the metal precursor around and on the surface of the noble metal particles and provides a confinement effect as a protective layer, and the oxygen reduction performance and the fuel cell efficiency of the alloy can be obviously optimized by accurately regulating and controlling the proportion of the metal precursor and the noble metal in the process.

FIG. 1 is an SEM photograph of catalyst samples obtained in examples 1 to 3 and comparative examples 1 to 3. The results in the figure show that the Pt particles on the carbon-supported platinum prepared in comparative example 1 were uniformly distributed on the carbon support, and the particle size thereof was 2.1nm on average. The Pt alloy particles on the catalysts prepared in examples 1-3 were uniformly distributed, and the average particle diameters of the particles were 3.8nm, 2.8nm, and 4.7nm, respectively. This is due to the transition metal entering into the lattice of Pt, causing a slight increase in particle size, but still maintaining a smaller size. The average size of the Pt alloy particles in the comparative example 2 is 7.6nm, because the amount of the metal precursor used is small (the mass ratio of the Pt element to the Co element is 2: 1), the confinement effect is small, the growth of the particles in the high-temperature process is not limited enough, the particle size of the prepared alloy particles is obviously increased, and the condition of uneven distribution occurs. The proportion of the deposited metal precursor in comparative example 3 is higher (the mass ratio of the Pt element to the Co element is 1: 9), the particle size of the alloy particles is larger due to uneven deposition, the particle size reaches 5.2nm, but the particle size is still obviously smaller than that of comparative example 2 with too little metal precursor. Therefore, the mass ratio of the Pt element to the metal element in the metal precursor is 1:1-1:7, and the phenomenon of particle growth caused by migration in the high-temperature heat treatment process can be effectively limited.
FIG. 2 is an SEM image of catalyst samples obtained in examples 4 and 5. The results in the figures show that when carbon nanotubes are used as the carrier, the confinement of the metal precursor and the defect sites on the carbon nanotubes can act together, so that the prepared alloy has smaller particle size (the alloy particle size is 2.5 nm) and more uniform distribution. And when the Pt particles are replaced by the Pd particles, the effective confinement effect can be realized, and the ultra-small Pd-Co alloy particles with uniform distribution and the size of 3.5nm are prepared.
Fig. 3 is an X-ray diffraction pattern of example 2 and comparative example 1. The results in the graph show that the Pt peak is significantly shifted after the addition of a second metal Co other than Pt, demonstrating that the particles formed are Pt — Co alloy particles.
FIG. 4 is a graph showing oxygen reduction performance of the catalyst samples obtained in examples 1 to 3 and comparative examples 1 to 3. The results in the figure show that the performances of the examples 1-3 and the comparative examples 2 and 3 are superior to that of the comparative example 1, and the catalyst sample formed by alloying is proved to have obviously improved catalytic performance compared with a single Pt catalyst. The performances of the examples 1-3 are superior to those of the comparative examples 2 and 3, and the results prove that when the mass ratio of the Pt element to the Co element is 1:1-1:7, the proper confinement effect can ensure a better particle distribution state and a smaller particle size, so that the oxygen reduction catalysis is facilitated. Among them, example 2 in which the mass ratio of the Pt element to the Co element was 1:3 showed the best catalytic activity.
Mixing a catalyst sample with a nafion solution in a volume ratio of 7:3, adding a proper amount of ethanol for dispersion to prepare catalyst slurry, and then respectively spraying the catalyst slurry on two sides of a proton membrane to prepare a catalyst membrane (the spraying amount is 0.25mg/cm according to the double-sided Pt loading capacity) -2 ) Cutting small catalyst films with the area of 5 multiplied by 5 cm to assemble a single cell, and testing a polarization curve and an energy density curve according to the American energy department testing standard. Fig. 5 is a result of performance test of a single cell prepared using the catalyst samples obtained in example 2 and comparative example 1. From the figureIt can be seen that the uniformly dispersed, smaller particle size Pt-Co/C catalyst has superior fuel cell performance over the carbon-supported platinum catalyst.
