Description

Fuel cell anode catalyst and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of fuel cells, and particularly relates to a material and a method for improving carbon monoxide tolerance of an anode catalyst in a fuel cell.
Background
The fuel cell is a novel sustainable, efficient and environment-friendly energy conversion device. Fuel cells can directly convert the chemical energy of a fuel into electrical energy. Hydrogen is the fuel used by the anode of the fuel cell, and the current major source of hydrogen comes from the reforming of natural gas, which inevitably contains carbon monoxide (CO) at a certain concentration. CO in fuel can severely poison the anode catalyst in a fuel cell, so how to improve CO tolerance of the anode catalyst is of great importance for practical application of the fuel cell.
The existing anode catalyst mainly depends on two strategies for improving CO poisoning resistance: 1) a second binary relatively oxygen-philic metal (such as Ru) is introduced on the surface of the platinum, and the oxidation of CO in an adsorption state on the surface of the platinum is promoted by oxygen-containing species on the surface of the second binary metal, so that the CO poisoning resistance is improved. 2) Pt is compounded with metal oxides such as WO2, MoO2, TiO2 and the like, and the adsorption strength of CO on the surface of platinum is weakened by utilizing the interaction between the oxides and the platinum, so that the CO poisoning resistance is improved. Because the hydrogen oxidation potential of the fuel cell is very low, CO is difficult to oxidize and remove at the moment, and the interaction between the CO and the surface of the noble metal is very strong, so that the CO is difficult to weaken and not adsorb. Thus, both of the current strategies have limited poisoning resistance, and 100ppm of CO impurities in hydrogen fuel can rapidly poison the surface and deactivate the anode catalyst.
Chinese patent CN1418725, in-situ chemical reduction homogeneous deposition method is used to prepare carbon nanotube supported alloy poisoning resistant catalysts such as PtRu, PtSn, PtRuSn, etc. Chinese patent CN101436669, adopts CO2 supercritical fluid to deposit metal organic compound on the conductive carrier, and then reduces to obtain 1-4nm Pt-M alloy catalyst for resisting CO poisoning. Chinese patent CN1832234, a pt au nano catalyst loaded on oxide is synthesized by wet chemical method as an anti-CO poisoning catalyst applied in fuel cells. U.S. Pat. No. 4, 6007934, Emmanuel Auer et al, utilizes low temperature liquid phase formaldehyde to reduce Pt salt and Ru salt step by step or simultaneously, and then low temperature drying to prepare a carbon supported catalyst containing both metals Pt and Ru, both metals being present in a non-alloyed state but highly dispersed on the supported carbon, which has better CO poisoning resistance than commercial PtRu/C catalysts. U.S. Pat. No. 4, 5939220, Alec Gordon Gunner and others, prepared PtCoMo/C and other ternary alloy catalysts by a liquid phase precipitation deposition method, as anode catalysts of proton exchange membrane fuel cells, have certain CO poisoning resistance. As can be seen from the previously published patents, current hydrogen oxidation catalysts resistant to CO poisoning remain primarily Pt-based metal alloy catalysts with limited resistance to poisoning. According to the literature Ehteshami s.m.m.; jia Q,; halder a.; chan s.h.; mukerjee S.Electrochimica Acta 2013,107,155. the platinum-based alloy catalyst in the prior research still has difficulty in meeting the requirement of CO poisoning resistance in the fuel cell, and only 20ppm of CO in the fuel can cause that the activity of various platinum-based alloy catalysts is lost by more than 50% within 1 hour.

s3, performing electrochemical reduction on the prepared carrier/hydrated metal oxide nanoparticles, and controlling the reduction degree to obtain a target catalyst, wherein the target catalyst comprises a carrier and an active material loaded on the carrier; the active material comprises an inner core and a micropore selective permeation layer coated on the surface of the inner core, wherein the inner core is made of noble metal or alloy nano particles thereof, and the micropore selective permeation layer is made of oxide or hydroxide of the noble metal or alloy thereof.

The catalyst can stably work in hydrogen with high concentration CO (100-10000ppm), and can remarkably reduce voltage loss caused by poisoning during the work of a fuel cell using a simply purified reformed gas as an anode fuel, thereby improving the work stability.
