Description

Morphology-controllable cobalt sulfide, preparation method thereof, cobalt sulfide/nitrogen-doped carbon nanotube catalyst and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of preparation of oxygen reduction catalytic materials, and particularly relates to morphology-controllable cobalt sulfide, a preparation method thereof, a cobalt sulfide/nitrogen-doped carbon nanotube catalyst and application thereof.
Background
The reaction speed of the air electrode of the metal-air battery and the fuel battery is very slow at normal temperature, and a catalyst is needed to catalyze the speed increase. The best catalyst at present is commercial JM 20% Pt/C, but platinum metal is rare and expensive, and is difficult to be commercially applied on a large scale. Therefore, the search for highly efficient non-platinum based catalysts has been a hot issue in this field.
Over the last decade, transition metal sulfides (e.g., manganese sulfide, cobalt sulfide, iron sulfide, etc.) have been developed for use as alternatives to Pt-based catalytic materials, especially cobalt sulfide. For example, the document "preparation and optimization of cobalt sulfide/carbon nanofiber membrane counter electrode, oceanic ocean, etc" describes a hydrothermal synthesis method of cobalt sulfide: 0.749g of CoCl is respectively weighed by an electronic balance2·6H2O and 0.473g CH3CSNH2(thioacetamide), pouring the thioacetamide into a reaction kettle, adding 63mI anhydrous ethanol into a reaction kettle with a 90mI polytetrafluoroethylene lining, treating the prepared solution with ultrasonic waves in an ultrasonic cleaner for 30min, after the solution is dissolved uniformly, putting the reaction kettle into an electric heating constant-temperature air blowing drying box, reacting for 24h at 160 ℃, repeatedly centrifuging the reacted solution for 3 times by using a centrifugal machine, drying the finally obtained gray black precipitate at 60 ℃ by using a vacuum drying box for l0h to obtain cobalt sulfide, loading cobalt sulfide (CoS) nanoparticles onto a nanofiber membrane, and carbonizing to obtain a cobalt sulfide/carbon nanofiber membrane (CoS/CNFs) counter electrode. However, the catalytic performance of the electrode obtained by the method is generally high, the use temperature is relatively high, and the performance requirement of replacing commercial JM 20% Pt/C is far from being met.
Researches find that the morphology of cobalt sulfide has certain influence on the catalytic performance of the composite catalyst formed by the cobalt sulfide, and the existing preparation method cannot control the morphology of the cobalt sulfide.

Oxygen must be continuously introduced into the electrolyte during the test to ensure that the electrolyte is saturated with oxygen.
FIG. 5 is an LSV curve of four cobalt sulfide/nitrogen doped carbon nanotube catalysts, numbered AE-d, AEW-e, AEW-f, and PAE-g; as can be seen from FIG. 5, the oxygen reduction performance of the four catalysts is relatively close, but the oxygen reduction catalytic performance of the cobalt sulfide/nitrogen doped carbon nanotube catalyst with the number of PAE-g is the best.
To further highlight the comparative effect, the LSV curves of PAE-g, PAE-h, Pt/C catalyst, CNT (cobalt sulfide free), N-CNT (cobalt sulfide free) were tested by the present invention and the results are shown in FIG. 6. FIG. 6 is a LSV graph of five catalysts, numbered PAE-g, PAE-h, Pt/C catalyst and CNT (cobalt sulfide free), N-CNT (cobalt sulfide free). As can be seen from FIG. 6 of the present invention, the oxygen reduction catalytic performance of the cobalt sulfide/nitrogen doped carbon nanotube catalyst with PAE-g of the present invention is better than that of CNT, N-CNT, PAE-h, and the limiting current density of PAE-g is much higher than that of commercial Pt/C.
In fig. 5 and 6 of the present invention, j represents current density, E represents voltage, V is voltage unit "volt", vs.
The present invention also provides specific data on the oxygen reduction performance of the various catalysts described above, as shown in table 2.

In conclusion, under the condition that parameters of other preparation conditions are approximately fixed, the cobalt sulfide with different micro-morphologies can be prepared by changing the components and the proportion of the solvent system, namely changing the mixing type and the dosage proportion of ethanol, ether, water and glycerol; the cobalt sulfide prepared by using a solvent system of ethyl alcohol, diethyl ether and glycerol in a ratio of 2:1:1 has the most regular microscopic morphology, and the catalyst obtained by compounding the cobalt sulfide shows excellent electrochemical performance and can be used as a substitute material of Pt/C to be applied to a fuel cell to catalyze and accelerate the reaction speed of an air electrode.
The foregoing is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and it should be noted that, for those skilled in the art, various modifications and decorations can be made without departing from the principle of the present invention, and these modifications and decorations should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
