Description

Preparation method of 3D multi-stage pore nitrogen-doped carbon-supported monatomic Fe catalyst
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of non-noble metal single-atom catalysts; more particularly, relates to a preparation method of a nitrogen-doped carbon-supported Fe monatomic catalyst with a 3D hierarchical pore structure.
Background
Clean, sustainable fuel cells are considered to be one of the most promising energy conversion applications. The cost of the fuel cell is mainly focused on the cathode side ORR reaction catalyst. At present, the platinum-based catalyst with excellent performance is still the ORR catalyst with the most commercial application prospect. However, noble metals are high in cost and scarce in reserves, and people are promoted to research non-noble metal catalysts which are low in cost and high in natural abundance. In this context, non-noble transition metal catalysts with nitrogen coordination (M-N-C) are ideal catalysts to replace noble metals. Among them, the monatomic M-N-C catalyst becomes a research hotspot due to the maximized atom utilization rate, uniform active center structure and clear structure-activity relationship.
The method for preparing the M-N-C monoatomic catalyst is a common method for preparing the M-N-C monoatomic catalyst by pyrolyzing a precursor mixture containing metal, nitrogen and carbon at high temperature and then pickling, but metal atoms are easy to migrate and agglomerate at high temperature to form nano particles, and although the metal particles can be removed by a pickling mode generally, the metal particles formed by high-temperature annealing are coated by a graphite carbon layer in many cases, and the graphite layer is insoluble in acid, so that the coated metal nano particles are difficult to be pickled, and therefore the carbon-coated metal nano particles and the monoatomic catalyst are often obtained as a result of the existence of the carbon-coated metal nano particles and the monoatomic catalyst at the same time.
The key point of the synthesis of the monoatomic is that the metal atom has a proper anchoring site in the carbonization process, so that the metal atom is not subjected to migration and agglomeration to generate metal particles in the high-temperature process. In the prior art, macrocyclic organic ligands such as porphyrin, phthalocyanine and the like are often used for anchoring metal in advance to obtain an M-N coordination structure, but the organic ligands have the defect of high price.
Polyacrylonitrile, due to its abundance of cyano groups, is also used as a nitrogen-containing carbon precursor to prepare nitrogen-doped ORR catalysts. However, in the prior art, the metal is compounded in by using an electrostatic spinning mode, and the obtained catalyst is not a monoatomic catalyst.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention mainly aims to provide a preparation method of a monatomic Fe-N-C catalyst, Fe in the catalyst obtained by the preparation method is dispersed in a carbon carrier with a 3D hierarchical pore structure in a monatomic mode, and the catalyst has extremely high electrocatalytic activity, stability and methanol resistance.
In order to achieve the main purpose, the invention provides a preparation method of a nitrogen-doped carbon-supported monatomic Fe catalyst, which comprises the following steps:
soaking and adsorbing a solution containing iron ions by using Polyacrylonitrile (PAN) and Polystyrene (PS) nano materials which are uniformly mixed to obtain PAN/PS-Fe;
carrying out pre-oxidation treatment on PAN/PS-Fe to obtain a pre-oxidation product OPAN/PS-Fe so as to primarily anchor iron ions by utilizing imine nitrogen formed in the PAN in the pre-oxidation process;
soaking the OPAN/PS-Fe in a Tetrahydrofuran (THF) solution for a preset time, and then filtering and washing to remove the PS to obtain 3DHP-OPAN-Fe with a 3D hierarchical pore structure;
and (3) pickling the 3DHP-OPAN-Fe, and then roasting for a preset time at 800-1000 ℃ in an inert atmosphere.
The technical scheme has the following beneficial effects:
the method comprises the steps of anchoring Fe atoms by skillfully utilizing imine nitrogen formed during pre-oxidation of polyacrylonitrile, and removing redundant un-anchored Fe through acid washing before roasting (carbonization) at 800-1000 ℃, so that metal particles are prevented from being formed in a high-temperature roasting process, and finally a Fe monatomic catalyst is obtained; wherein Fe, which has been anchored by imine nitrogen under high temperature conditions, is finally incorporated into the carbon substrate to form Fe-NxAn active site.
The frame structure with the 3D multilevel holes is formed by removing PS after PAN pre-oxidation, and the structure is favorable for fully exposing Fe-NxActive sites, which improve the utilization rate of the active sites, thereby further improving the ORR catalytic activity.
According to a specific embodiment of the present invention, polyacrylonitrile and polystyrene nano-materials are mixed in an alcohol-water solution, and then filtered, separated and dried to obtain the uniformly mixed polyacrylonitrile and polystyrene nano-materials. Wherein, the alcohol aqueous solution can be a mixed solution of ethanol and water, and the volume ratio of the ethanol to the water can be 1: 1.
Preferably, the polyacrylonitrile and the polystyrene nano-materials are respectively added into two parts of alcohol-water solution and ultrasonically dispersed, then the two parts of alcohol-water solution are mixed, and then the mixture is filtered, separated and dried to obtain the uniformly mixed polyacrylonitrile and polystyrene nano-materials. The mixture is carried out after the ultrasonic dispersion, so that the mixture of the PAN and the PS can be more uniform, and the 3D frame structure can be obtained after the PS is removed.
According to a specific embodiment of the present invention, the mass ratio of polyacrylonitrile to polystyrene is 2:1 to 1:3, such as 2:1, 1:1 or 1:3, preferably 1: 1.
according to a specific embodiment of the present invention, the polyacrylonitrile nano material is polyacrylonitrile nanospheres, and the polystyrene nano material is polystyrene nanospheres.
According to a specific embodiment of the invention, the pre-oxidation treatment comprises roasting PAN/PS-Fe in an air environment at a temperature of 250-350 ℃ so that cyano groups in polyacrylonitrile are cyclized to obtain imine nitrogen, and coordination sites are provided for anchoring Fe.
According to one embodiment of the invention, 3DHP-OPAN-Fe is added to a sulfuric acid solution to perform the acid washing.
According to an embodiment of the invention, the solution containing iron ions is an iron nitrate solution, and the concentration of the iron nitrate solution is 0.01 mol/L-0.03 mol/L.
Preferably, before the impregnation and adsorption, the polyacrylonitrile and the polystyrene nano-materials which are uniformly mixed are subjected to vacuum degassing treatment to remove air in gaps among PAN/PS solid particles, which is more favorable for the sufficient adsorption and impregnation of iron ion solution.
To more clearly illustrate the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and detailed description.
