Further, the precursor is one or two of titanium isopropoxide and ethoxytantalum, in the second mixed system, the concentration of the titanium isopropoxide is 0-50 mu L/mL, the concentration of the ethoxytantalum is 0-50 mu L/mL, at least one of the titanium isopropoxide and the ethoxytantalum exists, the titanium isopropoxide and the ethoxytantalum are both liquid, the titanium isopropoxide can be hydrolyzed to generate titanium oxide, the ethoxytantalum can be hydrolyzed to generate tantalum oxide, and the titanium oxide and the tantalum oxide have the functions of weakening hydrogen peroxide and scavenging active oxygen free radicals.

Specifically, the volume ratio of the first mixed system to the second mixed system is 100:1 to 1:1, ensuring that the precursor can be fully dispersed, and preventing the oxide agglomeration formed by the precursor after the subsequent heating treatment.

S5, placing the first powder in a protective atmosphere for heat treatment to obtain a composite carrier;

Oxygen vacancies can optimize the adsorption energy of reactants on the catalyst surface, thereby reducing the reaction energy barrier, promoting molecular activation, and acting synergistically with nearby active metal sites in the catalyst.
Moreover, the first powder is subjected to heat treatment under a protective atmosphere, so that the bonding strength of the metal oxide particles and the carbon-based material is enhanced, and the stability of the composite carrier structure is improved.
Specifically, the first powder is placed in a protective atmosphere for heat treatment at 60-1100 ℃, the temperature has important influence on the dispersion uniformity, particle size and the like of the metal oxide particles, and the reasonable heat treatment temperature is beneficial to promoting the titanium oxide and/or tantalum oxide particles to form good distribution on the carbon-based material, improving the resistance of the composite carrier to active oxygen free radicals and improving the catalytic activity of the composite carrier after platinum is carried.

(5) The dried first powder was placed in a tube furnace under a mixed gas of hydrogen and argon (H 2 : ar=5%: 95%) in 500 deg.C for 3 hr to obtain composite carrier Ti 0.7 Ta 0.3 O 2 C (500 ℃ C.), the titanium tantalum oxide physical content is 25% and the atomic molar ratio of Ti/Ta is 7/3, depending on the experimental amount.
For Ti obtained in example 1 0.7 Ta 0.3 O 2 C (500 ℃ C.) was subjected to transmission electron microscopy, and as a result, as shown in FIG. 2, it was found that titanium tantalum oxide particles of small particle size were uniformly distributed on the surface of carbon black, and no large particle titanium tantalum oxide was found.
Comparative example 1
As a control, a plurality of composite carriers were prepared by the method of example 1, and the difference between this control and example 1 is only that:
only titanium isopropoxide is added, and finally the mixture gas of hydrogen and argon (H 2 : ar=5%: 95%) and heat-treating at 500 deg.C for 3 hr to obtain TiO 2 -C(500℃);
Tantalum ethoxide alone was added, and finally the mixture of hydrogen and argon (H 2 : ar=5%: 95%) and heat-treating at 500 deg.C for 3 hr to obtain Ta 2 O 5 -C(500℃);
Titanium isopropoxide and tantalum ethoxide are added, and finally the mixture gas of hydrogen and argon (H 2 : ar=5%: 95%) and heat-treating at 700 deg.C for 3 hr to obtain Ti 0.7 Ta 0.3 O 2 -C(700℃);
Tantalum ethoxide alone was added, and finally the mixture of hydrogen and argon (H 2 : ar=5%: 95%) and heat-treating at 700 deg.C for 3 hr to obtain Ta 2 O 5 -C(700℃)。
The oxide particle size and crystal form of the composite support of example 1 and comparative example 1 were studied by XRD, and the results are shown in FIG. 3, ti 0.7 Ta 0.3 O 2 -C(500℃)、Ti 0.7 Ta 0.3 O 2 -C (700 ℃ C.) and TiO 2 Obvious anatase TiO appearance at-C (500 ℃ C.) 2 Diffraction peak, ta 2 O 5 C (500 ℃ C.) shows no significant diffraction peak, an amorphous structure, indicating Ta at 500 ℃ C 2 O 5 A good crystal form cannot be formed; when the heat treatment temperature is raised to 700 ℃, the crystallinity of the oxide is improved, ta 2 O 5 Appearance of-C (700 ℃ C.) and TiO 2 -C、Ti 0.7 Ta 0.3 O 2 Ta with significantly different C 2 O 5 Diffraction peak, and Ti 0.7 Ta 0.3 O 2 C (700 ℃) is still free of Ta at 700 DEG C 2 O 5 Diffraction peaks, indicating that the Ta element alone did not form an oxide.
By this group of controls, it is demonstrated that Ti during heat treatment 0.7 Ta 0.3 O 2 Ta successful doping to TiO in C 2 In the crystal lattice, and without changing its crystal configuration, generalThe oxide Ti is known by the software calculation of jade 6 0.7 Ta 0.3 O 2 The particle size is about 6 nm.
Example 2
Preparation of Ti as in example 1 0.7 Ta 0.3 O 2 -C,TiO 2 -C and Ta 2 O 5 -C, respectively taking the catalyst as a carrier, and adopting an impregnation-gas phase reduction method to prepare the platinum-carbon catalyst.
With Ti 0.7 Ta 0.3 O 2 For example, 60mg of Ti is weighed 0.7 Ta 0.3 O 2 -C in a 10mL beaker, 775. Mu.L of the solution was measured with a 1mL pipette at a concentration of 51.8mg Pt adding/mL of chloroplatinic acid solution into a beaker, adding 100 mu L of ethanol to improve the dispersibility of the carrier, and adding deionized water until the liquid volume of the beaker reaches 6mL; ultrasonic processing in beaker for 20min to obtain precursor solution and Ti 0.7 Ta 0.3 O 2 Mixing well, placing on a heating plate, stirring at 70 ℃, and carrying out ultrasonic treatment for 5min every 30min until the liquid in the beaker volatilizes to form a viscous slurry; sealing the powder with a preservative film (with air holes), and freeze-drying to obtain a black powder sample; the porcelain boat containing the black powder sample was placed in a tube furnace, and the powder was heated in a mixed gas of hydrogen and argon (H 2 Ar=50%: 50%) in 150 deg.C for 2 hr at a heating rate of 5 deg.C/min to obtain Pt/Ti 0.7 Ta 0.3 O 2 -C catalyst (as shown in figure 4). The Pt/TiO is prepared by the same method 2 -C、Pt/Ta 2 O 5 -C。
For Pt/Ti 0.7 Ta 0.3 O 2 -C、Pt/TiO 2 -C、Pt/Ta 2 O 5 Electrochemical Cyclic Voltammetry (CV) characterization of C and commercial Pt/C (40% JM Pt/C) and calculation of its electrochemical active area (ECSA) and results as shown in FIG. 5 and FIG. 6, the platinum carbon catalyst supported on oxide-carbon composite material was much larger in hydrogen desorption zone area (1.7 times that of commercial Pt/C with the same load) compared to commercial Pt/C due to smaller particle size of Pt nanoparticles per se, more active sites of catalyst at the same load, and overflow effectThe interface formed between them will also provide more catalytically active sites for the ORR reaction; comparing the peak potential of the CV oxygen adsorption peaks, the peak potential of the commercial Pt/C was most positive, indicating that desorption of the oxygen-containing species was easiest, mainly due to the larger particle size of the commercial Pt/C.
For Pt/Ti 0.7 Ta 0.3 O 2 -C、Pt/TiO 2 -C、Pt/Ta 2 O 5 ORR polarization curve test was performed on-C and commercial Pt/C (40% JM Pt/C) and Mass Activity (MA), area activity (SA) at 0.9V were calculated, and the results are shown in FIG. 7, FIG. 8, pt/Ti 0.7 Ta 0.3 O 2 The half-wave potential of C (0.922V) was approximately 20mV higher than that of commercial Pt/C (0.903V), the Mass Activity (MA) was 1.8 times that of Pt/TiO 2 -C and Pt/Ta 2 O 5 C is 0.912V and 0.910V, respectively, from which it can be seen that the multicomponent oxide has a more positive regulating effect on the Pt electronic structure than the single oxide, ta-doped TiO 2 The composite carrier of (2) brings greater catalytic activity advantage, but the pure oxide has very poor conductivity; pt/Ti due to the difference in electrochemically active areas 0.7 Ta 0.3 O 2 The area activity (SA) of C is relatively close to that of commercial Pt/C.
Comparative example 2
The elimination effect of titanium tantalum oxide on reactive oxygen species was verified, and the effect of titanium tantalum oxide on the elimination of ROS was evaluated by uv-vis absorption spectroscopy using 2, 2-diaza-di (3-ethyl-benzothiazole-6-sulfonic acid) diammonium salt (ABTS) as a substrate, as shown in fig. 9, ABTS as a widely used probe was oxidized by Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS), the solution was changed from colorless to blue, and absorbance at 417nm was changed, from which the level of ROS production could be judged.
Since the black color of the composite support affects the UV-visible absorption spectrum test, white titanium tantalum oxide Ti was prepared as in example 1 without the addition of carbon black 0.7 Ta 0.3 O 2
Subsequently, ABTS and H 2 O 2 Respectively adding 20mL of 0.1M HClO 4 The concentration in the solution was 2mM and 20mM, respectively, at which time the solution becameBlue. From this two 5mL solutions were taken in two beakers, to one of which was then added 2mg of Ti 0.7 Ta 0.3 O 2 Powders, respectively designated ABTS+H 2 O 2 And ABTS+H 2 O 2 +Ti 0.7 Ta 0.3 O 2 After 5min of reaction, 0.5mL of the supernatant was aspirated with a pipette and 4mL of 0.1M HClO was added 4 Solution dilution and analysis using UV-visible spectrum, results are shown in FIG. 10, ABTS+H 2 O 2 +Ti 0.7 Ta 0.3 O 2 The peak around 417nm was significantly decreased, indicating the addition of Ti 0.7 Ta 0.3 O 2 post-ROS production level is reduced, specifying Ti 0.7 Ta 0.3 O 2 The generation of ROS is reduced.
Example 3
The composite supported Pt catalysts with different oxide contents were prepared, and the synthesis method was the same as in example 2, except that the oxide contents in the composite support were changed by changing the input amounts of titanium isopropoxide and tantalum ethoxide when synthesizing the composite support, so as to prepare composite supported Pt catalysts with oxide contents of 25%, 40%, 60% and 80%, respectively, wherein the Pt contents were 40%, and electrochemical characterization was performed, and the results are shown in fig. 11 and 12.
The half-wave potential of the Pt-carried catalyst on the composite carrier is 0.922V (25%), 0.918V (40%), 0.904V (60%), 0.898V (80%), 0.903V (40% JM Pt/C), and the ORR activity gradually decreases with the increase of the oxide content, and the activity is obviously reduced when 60% is reached, but still slightly higher than that of the commercial Pt/C (40% JM Pt/C); as the oxide content increases, the CV area gradually decreases, because the proportion of the carbon-based material is smaller and smaller, the specific surface area of the composite carrier decreases, the conductivity decreases, and the particle size of the Pt nanoparticles increases; but even Pt/Ti 0.7 Ta 0.3 O 2 (60%) -C still has a larger CV area than commercial Pt/C; the Pt supported composite catalyst has the best ORR performance when the oxide content in the composite support is 25%.
The hydrogen peroxide resistance of the Pt catalyst carried by the composite carrier was tested, and the hydrogen peroxide yield and the electron transfer number were obtained by the rotating ring disk electrode test, and the results are shown in fig. 13, it can be seen that as the content of the oxide becomes higher, the hydrogen peroxide yield gradually becomes higher, which indicates that the capability of the titanium tantalum oxide to remove active oxygen free radicals and the capability of the catalyst as a whole to resist hydrogen peroxide are not dependent on the content of the oxide; as the oxide content of the composite support increases, the conductivity of the corresponding catalyst material decreases, and the electron transport capacity decreases, which may lead to an increase in the di-electron oxygen reduction reaction, thus eventually manifesting as an increase in the hydrogen peroxide yield.
Pt catalyst (Pt/Ti) carried on composite carrier with two different oxide contents 0.7 Ta 0.3 O 2 (25%) -C and Pt/Ti 0.7 Ta 0.3 O 2 (40%) -C) stability testing was performed for 13000 cycles and compared with commercial Pt/C (40% JM Pt/C), and as shown in FIGS. 14-19, it was seen that after 13000 cycles, the half-wave potential of 40% JM Pt/C was reduced by 14mV (0.903V. Fwdarw. 0.889V), pt/Ti 0.7 Ta 0.3 O 2 (25%) -C half-wave potential was reduced by 13mV (0.922 V.fwdarw.0.909V) while Pt/Ti 0.7 Ta 0.3 O 2 (40%) -C reduced the half-wave potential by 8mV (0.918 V.fwdarw.0.910V).
After 13000 cycles, a mass activity loss of 40% JM Pt/C was 36% (0.111A/mg Pt →0.071A/mg Pt ) Loss of electrochemically active area 34% (47 m 2 /g Pt →31m 2 /g Pt );Pt/Ti 0.7 Ta 0.3 O 2 (25%) -C has a mass activity loss of 39% (0.198A/mg) Pt →0.121A/mg Pt ) The electrochemical active area loss was 39% (73 m 2 /g Pt →44m 2 /g Pt );Pt/Ti 0.7 Ta 0.3 O 2 (40%) -C loss of mass activity 25% (0.177A/mg Pt →0.132A/mg Pt ) Loss of electrochemically active area 24% (64 m 2 /g Pt →49m 2 /g Pt )。
Catalyst Pt/Ti with highest initial activity and highest initial electrochemical activity area 0.7 Ta 0.3 O 2 (25%) -C decays more after stability test, which indicates that although due to the addition of oxide andpt generates strong metal carrier interaction to increase the catalytic activity of Pt, but Pt nano particles with smaller particle size in the catalyst are more likely to be dissolved, migrated and agglomerated due to higher surface energy, while the anchoring effect provided by oxide is limited, so that Pt/Ti is caused 0.7 Ta 0.3 O 2 (25%) -C performs poorly during stability testing. Even so, depending on the higher initial performance, the overall performance is improved compared to commercial Pt/C. Preferably, the oxide content of the composite support is 40%, although a reduction in conductivity is caused, a relative reduction in initial mass activity and electrochemical active area, but Pt/Ti 0.7 Ta 0.3 O 2 The stability test of (40%) -C shows better performance, not only the loss of mass activity and electrochemical activity area is lower than that of the other two catalysts, but also the highest performance is maintained after the test, which benefits from the higher oxide content of the composite support, and the expanded range of anchoring effect reduces the aggregation of Pt nanoparticles.
Example 4
The composite supported Pt catalyst with different Ti/Ta ratios was prepared, and the synthesis method was the same as in example 2, except that the Ti/Ta ratio in the composite support was changed by changing the ratio of titanium isopropoxide and tantalum ethoxide during the synthesis of the composite support, and the Ti/Ta ratio was respectively made to be Ti 0.7 Ta 0.3 O 2 ,Ti 0.55 Ta 0.45 O 2 ,Ti 0.4 Ta 0.6 O 2 Ti and 0.2 Ta 0.8 O 2 as shown in fig. 20 and 21, the half-wave potential of each catalyst is 0.922V (Ti/ta=7/3), 0.917V (Ti/ta=5.5/4.5), 0.911V (Ti/ta=4/6), 0.910V (Ti/ta=2/8) and 0.903V (40% JM Pt/C), and the change of the Ti/Ta ratio directly affects the crystal configuration, electronic structure, conductivity and other properties of the oxide, and then affects the interaction between the oxide and Pt, thereby obtaining different catalytic performances; when Ti/ta=7/3, the catalyst has the best ORR performance. The results are shown in FIG. 21, which shows four composite supported Pt catalystsThe CV area is close.
H obtained by testing composite carrier Pt-supported catalysts with different Ti/Ta ratios through rotating ring disk electrode 2 O 2 Yield and electron transfer number results, as shown in FIG. 22, with the comparative condition being the ratio of Ti/Ta in the oxide (Ti 0.7 Ta 0.3 O 2 ,Ti 0.55 Ta 0.45 O 2 ,Ti 0.4 Ta 0.6 O 2 ,Ti 0.2 Ta 0.8 O 2 ),H 2 O 2 The yield comparison sequence is:
Ti 0.55 Ta 0.45 O 2 <Ti 0.4 Ta 0.6 O 2 ≈Ti 0.7 Ta 0.3 O 2 <Ti 0.2 Ta 0.8 O 2
wherein Pt/Ti 0.55 Ta 0.45 O 2 C has the lowest H 2 O 2 The production level was 3.5% at 0.01V, whereas commercial Pt/C reached 7%; pt/Ti 0.2 Ta 0.8 O 2 H of-C 2 O 2 The yield is highest among them.
Example 5
Preparation of composite Supported Pt catalyst with different Heat treatment temperatures and Heat treatment atmospheres the synthesis method was the same as in example 2, except that when synthesizing composite Supports, heat treatments were performed at different temperatures and atmospheres, respectively, the heat treatment temperature was 300℃and the atmosphere was H 2 Ar; the heat treatment temperature is 500 ℃ and the atmosphere is H 2 Ar (same as in example 2); the heat treatment temperature is 500 ℃ and the atmosphere is Ar; the heat treatment temperature is 700 ℃ and the atmosphere is H 2 Pt catalyst carried by Ar composite carrier and H obtained by rotating ring disk electrode test 2 O 2 Yield and number of electron transfer, the results are shown in FIG. 23.
Composite carrier Pt-carried catalyst (300-H) 2 /Ar,500℃-H 2 /Ar,500℃-Ar,700℃-H 2 Ar) have lower H than commercial Pt/C 2 O 2 Yield, H in the potential range of 0.01V-0.2V 2 O 2 The yield comparison sequence is:
700℃-H 2 /Ar≈500℃-H 2 /Ar<500℃-Ar<300℃-H 2 /Ar
this shows that the high temperature heat treatment of the composite support in an atmosphere containing a reducing gas is advantageous for reducing the catalyst H 2 O 2 Is also advantageous for reducing the catalyst H by increasing the treatment temperature 2 O 2 But the effect increases less significantly after 500 ℃.
