Description

Copper-based anode catalyst for direct methanol fuel cell and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to a fuel cell anode catalyst, in particular to a non-noble metal-based carbon material anode catalyst for a direct methanol fuel cell in an alkaline system and a preparation method thereof. The catalyst prepared by the invention can be used for electrocatalytic oxidation of methanol.
Background
In order to meet the increasing energy demand of human beings and solve the increasingly serious environmental problems, green and alternative novel energy research is increasingly gaining attention.
The Direct Methanol Fuel Cell (DMFC) as a fuel cell using methanol as fuel has the advantages of wide fuel source, convenient use, low price, and the like, and the transportation and storage of methanol are more convenient and safer. Methanol of DMFC is directly oxidized at the electrode to convert chemical energy into electrical energy, and the product is mainly H2O and CO2Does not generate NOx、SOxAnd the like, and has wide application prospect in the fields of portable electronic equipment, energy automobiles and the like.
In order to achieve a wider range of commercial applications, it is desirable to obtain highly active methanol oxidation electrocatalysts. Such as Pt [ M. Huang, J. Zhang, C. Wu, L. Guan, J. Power Sources 342(2017) 273; H. huang, s. Yang, r. Vajtai, x. Wang, p.m. Ajayan, adv. mater. 26(2014) 5160 ], Ru [ t.r. Garrick, w. Diao, j.m. Tengco, e.a. Stach, s.d. senayake, d.a. Chen, j.r. Monnier, j.w. Weidner, electrochim. Acta 195(2016) 106; noble metal elements such as Z, Bo, D, Hu, J, Kong, J, Yan, K, Cen, J, Power Sources 273(2015) 530- < - > and Pd [ C, Wen, Y, Wei, D, Tang, B, Sa, T, Zhang, C, Chen, Sci, Rep.7 (2017) 4907 > ] are well known electrocatalysts and have excellent electrochemical activity when used in DMFC.
To date, the Pt-Ru alloy catalyst has been considered to be the most active direct methanol fuel cell anode catalyst among all catalysts.
However, Pt-based catalysts are also easily poisoned by methanol and reaction intermediates (CO, etc.) in addition to high cost, high cost of catalysts [ w. Huang, h. Wang, j. Zhou, j. Wang, p.n. Duchesne, d. Muir, p. Zhang, n. Han, f. Zhao, m. Zeng, j. Zhong, c. Jin, y. Li, s.t. Lee, h. Dai, nat. commun. 6 (2015)) 10035 ] and poisoning effects [ s. Lu, h. Li, j. Sun, z. Zhuang, Nano res. 11 (2018)) 2058 ], which limit their commercialization. Therefore, there is significant practical interest in the development of alternative non-noble metal electrocatalysts.
In recent years, as one of the substitutes for noble metals, transition metal oxides have shown remarkable progress in electrocatalytic oxidation of methanol. Wherein, the copper-based catalyst [ S. Ananthraj, H. Sugime, S. Noda, ACS appl. mater. Interfaces, 12(2020) 27327 and 27338.; s.m. Pawar, j. Kim, a.i. Inamdar, h.woo, y. Jo, b.s. Pawar, s.cho, h.kim, h.im, sci. rep.6 (2016) 21310; D. wu, W, Zhang, D, Cheng, ACS appl. Mater. Interfaces, 9(2017) 19843-19851 ] have been used as electrocatalytic oxidation catalysts for methanol, and have attracted more attention in methanol oxidation applications.
Generally, in order to prepare a high-efficiency catalyst, carbon materials such as carbon black, carbon nanotubes, and graphene are generally used as a conductive framework of the catalyst, and a copper active component is used as an active site for catalyzing a methanol reaction. However, the traditional copper-based catalyst has a complex preparation method, and the dispersion of the active component copper is uneven, so that the electrocatalytic performance of methanol oxidation is influenced, and the wide application of the catalyst is limited.
For example, in the above-mentioned documents, Cu (OH)2Methanol oxidation current density of the-CuO/Cu catalyst at 0.65V (vs SCE) voltage of only 70mA ∙ cm−2,Cu(OH)2The current density of the catalyst for methanol oxidation under the voltage of 0.6V (vs SCE) is only 52mA ∙ cm−2Whereas the methanol oxidation current density of the Cu/NiCu NWs-220/C catalyst at a voltage of 0.5V (vs SCE) is only 34.9mA ∙ cm−2. Therefore, it is required to find a simple method for organically combining the active component copper with the carbon material having excellent conductivity so as to prepare a copper-based composite having high electrocatalytic oxidation performance of methanol.
