Background technology
Zinc/air fuel cell, have advantages such as specific energy height (theoretical specific energy reaches 1350Wh/kg), stable operating voltage, the operating temperature range of broad, raw material be cheap and easy to get, environmentally friendly, and the easy regeneration of cell reaction product, in the present age of energy scarcity, be one of important energy source of extremely paying close attention to of people, being referred to as is " green energy resource geared to the 21st century ".It is widely used in fields such as navigation light, unmanned observation station, radio relay station, transceiver, electric vehicle, mobile communication equipment.The appearance of the emerge in multitude of portable electricity consuming products and world wide electric automobile heat is for new field has been opened up in the application of high-energy-density zinc-air battery.
In zinc/air fuel cell, the hydrogen reduction catalytic capability of air electrode is the key factor of decision battery performance quality, and the catalyst of therefore seeking Cheap highly effective is the focus of zinc and air cell research.In order to reduce the activation polarization in the air electrode course of reaction, people have carried out extensive studies to oxygen reduction catalyst.What be used as oxygen reduction catalyst in early days is carbon, but its catalytic activity is very low.Platinum is that research is maximum up to now, and catalytic activity and the best catalyst of stability.But, thereby make it be difficult to realize the scale application owing to its scarcity of resources costs an arm and a leg.Silver has good electrical conductivity and better physical chemical stability, be used as for platinum catalyst in the air electrode of being everlasting, but cost is still apparent too high.Mn oxide is the more single metal oxides catalyst of research, but the discharge current density of the zinc-air battery that the oxide of common manganese is a catalyst to be made 30~50mA/cm only
2, can only be used to make low power zinc-air battery, the transition metal that contains four N atoms is integrated the oxygen reduction catalyst that thing is considered to get a good chance of, as porphyrin, phthalocyanine and derivative thereof.With tetraphenylporphyrin network cobalt (CoTPP) be the air electrode made of catalyst at 20 ℃ with 50mA/cm
2But discharge steady operation 7000h.RE perovskite type catalyst not only has good catalytic performance, and more stable in alkaline solution, the more important thing is the cheap of it, is subjected to extensive concern, has a extensive future in fuel cell and metal-air battery.The RE perovskite type catalyst synthetic method mainly contains solid reaction process and liquid phase reactor method.Wang Qiu spinach etc. adopt solid phase method, with carbonate and nitrate thermal decomposition, have prepared La
