Description

Universal preparation and application of nitrogen-rich graphene aerogel supported monatomic cluster catalyst based on sol-gel method
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of monatomic cluster catalyst synthesis, and particularly relates to a universal preparation method of a nitrogen-rich graphene aerogel supported monatomic cluster catalyst, the nitrogen-rich graphene aerogel supported monatomic cluster catalyst and application.
Background
The demand of human beings on energy is gradually increased, non-renewable energy sources such as petroleum are gradually exhausted, and the seeking of petroleum substitutes is a necessary requirement for realizing low-carbon economy and reducing environmental pollution. In recent years, with the development of technologies, renewable energy sources such as wind energy, hydroelectric energy, solar energy and the like are increasingly utilized. The key to the sustainable development and application of clean energy is the search for safe, reliable and efficient storage methods and efficient utilization technologies for renewable and sustainable energy. Currently, renewable energy conversion and storage systems such as fuel cells, metal-air batteries, and water electrolysis devices have thus received extensive attention and development. The retarded kinetics of the oxygen reduction (ORR) and Oxidation (OER) processes remain the biggest obstacles in the development and application of fuel cell, metal-air cell and electrolytic water technologies. The search for efficient, stable, low cost ORR and OER catalysts remains a vital task in developing energy conversion and storage technologies for fuel cells, metal-air cells, and electrolysis of water.
The method is widely researched and verified by scientific researchers: among the non-noble metal catalysts, metal nitrides (MNx) are the main active centers that generally exhibit high activity for ORR and OER processes. Extensive researchers are currently developing high performance ORR and OER catalysts by designing reasonable nanostructures and regulating sizes, mainly based on the inexpensive price of non-noble metals, abundant earth reserve resources.
Atomic scale catalysts have attracted considerable attention from researchers since 2011 billows the successful synthesis of iron-based single atom active site catalysts and the introduction of the concept of "single atom catalysts". On one hand, the atomic-scale catalyst can greatly improve the number of active sites and realize high atom utilization rate due to the completely exposed atoms, and on the other hand, the low-coordination unsaturated state of the atomic-scale catalyst and the enhanced interaction of a metal carrier can obviously improve the intrinsic activity of the active sites. Thus, scientists have recently vigorously conducted studies to regulate the activity and utilization of catalysts based on monatomic catalysts.
However, compared to monatomic catalysts, cluster catalysts are less of a scientific concern. The atomic cluster is formed by aggregating a small number of atoms, is larger than a single atom in size, and even reaches the nanometer level when the number of the aggregated atoms reaches a certain number. Clusters containing only a small number of atoms exhibit exceptional and unexpected performance due to high surface atomic ratios, nano-sized characteristics that are different from bulk catalysts, low catalyst usage and effective catalyst utilization. Reported research work has shown that gold atom cluster catalysts, platinum atom cluster catalysts, Fe cluster catalysts (C/TP-Fe700), and conix single cluster (C/P/2Co600), etc., all exhibit excellent catalytic activity in specific environments. However, the preparation of highly dispersed, highly active nitrogen-rich graphene aerogel supported MNx monatomic cluster catalysts by a simple and clean method suitable for industrial production and large-scale application without the use of surfactants remains a significant challenge.
