Description

Platinum-based alloy catalyst and preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of catalyst preparation and electrocatalysis, and particularly relates to a platinum-based alloy catalyst and a preparation method and application thereof.
Background
Catalysts are one of the key materials within fuel cells. In order to improve the activity of the catalyst such as oxygen reduction (ORR) and Hydrogen Oxidation (HOR) and to reduce the amount of Pt used, a series of PtM/C alloy catalysts have been the focus of research. The PtM/C alloy catalyst is formed by doping other transition metals on the basis of Pt/C to form binary or multi-element alloy. In recent years, many researches on the catalysts are reported, and mainly include PtCo/C, PtCr/C, PtNi/C, PtFe/C and PtCe/C multi-element alloy catalysts which show better catalytic performance than pure Pt catalysts. Compared with the traditional Pt/C catalyst, the Pt-based alloy catalyst has the advantages that the Pt catalytic activity is improved and the dosage of platinum is reduced through the interaction with 3d transition metal electrons, such as ligand effect, stress effect and geometric effect.
In view of the great application value of the alloy catalyst, various methods for preparing the catalyst have been developed, and the most common methods are an impregnation method, a chemical reduction method, an ion exchange method, a colloid method, a microwave-promoted reduction method, an electrochemical method, a displacement method, a core-shell method, and the like. The traditional preparation method of the supported alloy catalyst comprises an impregnation method, a liquid phase reduction method, a common freeze drying method, a colloid method, a precipitation method and the like. Wherein: the common freeze-drying method is the most common and convenient method for preparing the supported catalyst, and comprises two parts: firstly, a precursor of an active center is uniformly mixed and dispersed with a carrier material in a solution system, then a catalyst precursor is obtained by volatilizing a solvent under the condition of low temperature, and the precursor is reduced at a proper temperature to form tiny particles to be loaded on the surface of the carrier. For example, after uniformly mixing cobalt salt, a platinum-carbon catalyst and a volatile solvent, the temperature is reduced to (-70) - (-20) DEG C within 2h for pre-freezing, then the platinum-cobalt precursor is obtained by vacuum freeze drying within the range of (-50) -80 ℃, the platinum-cobalt precursor is reduced at the temperature of 200-400 ℃ for 1-6h under the reducing atmosphere, and then the platinum-cobalt alloy catalyst is obtained by high-temperature heat treatment at the temperature of 500-900 ℃ for 1-3h under the reducing atmosphere. The method is simple to operate, but in the freezing process, the phenomena of coagulation and agglomeration exist among metal elements due to long time, the prepared metal elements are not uniformly distributed, and the particle size distribution is wide. For another example, a carbon support is added to an aqueous solution of a platinum-containing precursor compound and a transition metal-containing precursor compound; and adjusting the pH value by strong alkali in ice bath, quickly freezing within 2min, carrying out freeze drying treatment, finally carrying out heat treatment on the powder for more than 6h in a reducing atmosphere, and washing and drying to obtain the catalyst product. The prepared catalyst has good alloy state. The method can well control the particle size of the product, but the method deposits metal ions on the surface of a carrier by adding strong base for adjusting pH near the freezing point, and then removes introduced impurities and easily dissolved transition metals through the steps of washing, suction filtration, vacuum drying and the like, the process is complex and tedious, the use of a regulator has certain influence on the performance of a catalyst at the later stage, the method is particularly not favorable for the durability of the catalyst, and the content of the supported platinum is low.
The inventor finds that the impregnation method and the common freeze-drying method volatilize the solvent by means of high-temperature or low-temperature freeze-drying, the process is easy to generate sedimentation and delamination of metal ions, the metal distribution is not uniform after sintering, and the prepared metal particles have a wider size distribution due to the agglomeration phenomenon among particles under the condition of higher loading capacity. The liquid phase reduction method usually requires higher temperature and pressure, the process conditions are harsh, and the physical properties and catalytic activity of the finished catalyst are easily affected by the change of the reaction conditions. The colloid method has complex preparation process, more reaction steps and difficult removal of reaction auxiliary agent, and is not suitable for large-scale production. Precipitation methods load metal ions on a carrier by adjusting the pH of the solution system, and the addition of strong alkaline solutions may result in too high a local concentration, agglomeration, or lack of uniformity in composition. In addition, the batch production technology of the catalyst is not mature at present, which seriously restricts the autonomous controllable development of the hydrogen fuel cell industry in China.
Therefore, optimizing the preparation method of the Pt-based catalyst and developing the batch preparation process of the Pt-based catalyst are the research directions of the catalyst which is the key material of the PEMFC (proton exchange membrane fuel cell).

In experiments, the strong interaction between the Pt/C carrier and the introduced metal is found, the introduced metal is not easy to migrate in the freezing process, the introduced metal and the Pt can be fully bonded by prolonging the time, but the introduced metal still migrates when the time exceeds 10min, so that the alloy components in the catalyst are not uniform, and independent metal nucleation occurs, thereby being very important for controlling the rapid freezing forming time. According to the preparation method of the platinum-based alloy catalyst, in the dispersing and quick freezing processes, due to the strong interaction between metal and the quick freezing process, the metal is confined in the Pt/C structure and is uniformly dispersed on the carrier, the phenomena of metal sedimentation and element segregation are effectively solved, the agglomeration of nano crystals in the high-temperature treatment process is avoided, the high dispersing effect is achieved, due to the strong interaction between metal, the introduced metal can easily enter the lattice structure of Pt, the metal is prevented from forming a phase independently, the dissolution concentration of non-noble metal in an acid solution is extremely low, and acid pickling is not needed in the process.

Therefore, in the step (1), the freeze molding is preferably performed by mixing in a low-temperature medium in a freeze drying apparatus while freezing and drying.
In some embodiments of the present invention, in step (2), the solid mixture obtained in step (1) is transferred or freeze-dried in situ in a vacuum freeze-drying apparatus, wherein the freeze-drying method includes but is not limited to one of bell jar freeze-drying, in situ freeze-drying, rotary dynamic freeze-drying, and shaking dynamic freeze-drying.

The mixed gas containing 1 to 99.5% by volume of hydrogen and 1 to 99.5% by volume of CO may be an inert gas such as nitrogen or argon, in addition to hydrogen or CO.
In some embodiments of the present invention, in the step (3), the time for rapidly heating the solid powder in the step (2) to the sintering temperature in the reducing atmosphere is 5-20min, the sintering temperature is 300-. Preferably, the sintering time is 1-5 h. It should be noted that, in the step (3), the sintering process adopts rapid temperature rise, and the sintering process adopts rapid temperature reduction, so that the shorter the time, the higher the temperature rise/reduction rate, the metal ions can be reduced in a narrower temperature interval, the dispersibility of crystal grains is better, and meanwhile, the rapid temperature reduction process can generate more stacking faults inside the metal, thereby exposing more active sites and improving the activity of the catalyst.
In order to achieve the above object, a platinum-based alloy catalyst prepared by the above preparation method is provided in the second embodiment of the present invention.
In order to achieve the above object, a third embodiment of the present invention proposes the use of the platinum-based alloy catalyst prepared by the above-described preparation method in a fuel cell. When the catalyst for a fuel cell is used as a cathode and anode catalyst for a fuel cell, the catalyst thickness is typically about 4-15 microns, and to achieve the desired thickness, the catalyst metal to catalyst weight ratio in the cathode catalyst is preferably in the range of (40-70): 100.
