Description

Efficient electrocatalyst composite material and preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of nano material application and electrocatalyst synthesis and preparation. More particularly, relates to a high-efficiency electrocatalyst composite material based on a hierarchical porous structure graphene aerogel, and a preparation method and application thereof.
Background
Noble metals such as platinum (Pt), gold (Au), silver (Ag) and palladium (Pd) are one of the most widely used electrocatalyst materials at present, but the disadvantages of high cost, small reserves, poor stability and the like seriously limit the large-scale application of the noble metal electrocatalyst. To solve this problem, there are two general approaches: 1) the non-noble metal catalyst material with catalytic activity comparable to that of noble metal catalysts is developed, although the catalytic activity of the non-noble metal catalyst can be improved through structural design, the non-noble metal catalyst still has unsatisfactory catalytic activity and stability, and the potential of the non-noble metal catalyst for replacing the noble metal catalyst for large-scale application is greatly limited; 2) the nano-alloyed composite electrocatalyst is prepared based on the noble metal, and the active sites of the noble metal are fully exposed through precise structure control, so that the catalytic activity of the noble metal per unit mass is greatly improved, and the using amount of the noble metal catalyst is greatly reduced. Compared with the first scheme, the alloyed noble metal electrocatalyst material has higher electrochemical catalytic activity, lower overpotential and better stability, and has more excellent electrochemical catalytic comprehensive performance and wider application prospect.
Due to the agglomeration problem in the preparation process and the curing agglomeration and electrochemical corrosion leaching problems in the electrochemical process, the excellent comprehensive catalytic performance of the alloyed noble metal nano-alloy catalyst cannot be fully exerted in practical application. The introduction of the carbon carrier can well play a role in fully exposing, stabilizing and activating the catalytic active sites, and endows the final composite catalyst with better comprehensive catalytic performance. Graphene, as a highly graphitized two-dimensional carbon material, has excellent conductivity, stability and mechanical properties, as well as high carrier mobility and large specific surface area, and is an ideal catalyst support material from the structural and intrinsic characteristics. However, due to the nature of the two-dimensional material, when graphene is used as an electrocatalyst carrier, the graphene often faces a serious problem of stacking and agglomeration among sheets, which further causes problems of slow mass transfer rate and masked active sites.
The preparation of the graphene aerogel with the three-dimensional network structure through the self-assembly of the graphene sheet layers is an effective means for solving the problem of agglomeration which is easy to occur when the graphene sheet layers are used as carriers, and can provide a rapid channel for electron transmission. Moreover, because the inside mass transfer of traditional graphite alkene aerogel network often receives the limiting action of pore wall, can not be in the inside quick mass transfer process of forming of whole aerogel, compare with traditional graphite alkene aerogel, three-dimensional structure graphite alkene aerogel load type's noble metal nanometer alloy catalyst material's comprehensive electro-catalysis performance has very big promotion space in addition. At present, few reports exist on the obtained three-dimensional graphene-loaded nanoparticle composite material, and the nano alloy particles are difficult to be uniformly dispersed in the three-dimensional graphene structure, so that the catalytic activity is not ideal, and in addition, the support material is easy to lose the electrocatalytic activity due to electrochemical oxidation failure.
