Description
Technical Field
The application belongs to the technical field of catalysts, and particularly relates to a catalyst carrier, a composite catalyst, a preparation method and application thereof.
Background
The high cost of fuel cells is a major cause of impeding commercialization of hydrogen-powered automobiles, and one of the major ways to reduce the cost is to reduce the amount of noble metal catalyst used. The membrane electrode is a core component of the fuel cell, is a place where the fuel cell performs oxidation-reduction reaction, and mainly comprises a gas diffusion layer, a catalyst layer, a proton exchange membrane and a sealing layer. The catalyst layer catalyzes an electrochemical reaction of hydrogen and oxygen, and is divided into a cathode catalyst layer (oxygen reduction reaction) and an anode catalyst layer (hydrogen oxidation reaction). The anode catalytic layer breaks down the hydrogen into protons and releases electrons, which pass through an external circuit to the cathode. The cathode catalytic layer catalyzes proton and oxygen to generate electrochemical reaction, and the obtained electrons generate water.
In the prior art, a catalyst layer is formed on both sides of a proton exchange membrane, and the catalyst layer contains catalyst-supported carbon obtained by supporting a platinum-based metal catalyst on carbon powder, and a polymer electrolyte having hydrogen ion conductivity. The anode and the cathode are constituted by a combination of a catalyst layer and a gas diffusion layer.
For example, the prior art discloses a low platinum cathode catalytic layer for fuel cells and its use. The preparation of the catalytic layer adopts a spraying method, and the first layer has a specific surface area of 800-1200 m 2 A catalyst prepared by a carbon black carrier per gram and a proton conductor; the second layer has a specific surface area of 50-300 m 2 Catalyst prepared by the carbon black carrier per gram and hydrophobic substance. The catalyst obtained by the method has the characteristics of small noble metal consumption, thin thickness and the like, mainly solves the problems of drainage in the catalyst layer and the utilization rate of the catalyst, but the structure of the catalyst layer needs to be further improved, and the preparation method needs to be optimized. However, the catalytic layer is typically composed of carbon black supported platinum (Pt/C) and an ionomer. Platinum is used as a catalyst to promote the electrochemical reaction process, while the ionic polymer is used as a bonding and transmission medium, so that the carbon black carrier of the Pt/C catalyst is easy to corrode, the Pt is separated from the carrier, dissolved and redeposited, and finally Pt particles are agglomerated on the surface of the carbon black carrier, so that the overall performance of the catalyst is attenuated, the service life of the catalyst is reduced, the effective utilization rate of the Pt catalyst is reduced, and the increase of the catalyst cost is further aggravated.

In addition, the porosity of the carbon nano tube array film layer and the carbon nano tube layer is higher than that of the carbon black carrier, which is favorable for improving the catalyst attachment site, and the porosity of the carbon nano tube array film layer is higher than that of the carbon nano tube layer so as to form a gradient structure.
