Description

Preparation and application of self-supporting nitrogen-doped carbon nanotube-loaded platinum nano cluster
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of direct methanol fuel cell catalysts, and particularly relates to a self-supporting nitrogen-doped carbon nanotube-loaded platinum nano cluster, a preparation method thereof and application thereof in a direct methanol fuel cell.
Background
At present, the world energy is limited, and unreasonable exploitation and waste of human beings cause energy crisis, environmental pollution and other problems, and in order to meet the needs of the modern society and relieve the ecological health problem, the research focus in the world energy field is to find an efficient, clean and sustainable energy technology.
The Oxygen Reduction Reaction (ORR) and the Methanol Oxidation Reaction (MOR) are the core reaction processes of important renewable energy technology, and the application relates to the fields of fuel cells, metal-air batteries and the like. Among fuel cells, Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells (PEMFCs) employ perfluorosulfonic acid membranes as electrolytes, and have the advantages of no corrosion of the electrolytes, low required working temperature, large working current, high power density, light weight, quick start, environmental friendliness, long service life and the like, and thus, they have become important in research. Direct Methanol Fuel Cells (DMFCs) are the most energy intensive fuel cells, except for hydrogen fuel. DMFCs, as power generation devices that directly convert chemical energy into electrical energy, have the advantages of high energy conversion efficiency, simple operation, fast start-up, greenness, no pollution, and the like. However, its performance is also affected by several factors. First, methanol can permeate from the anode to the cathode catalyst layer through the electrolyte membrane, which can severely coat the Pt surface, reducing the ORR active sites. And creates a "mixed potential" at the cathode, reducing the fuel conversion efficiency and the output power of the cell. Second, the slow kinetics of the electrochemical reaction lead to a loss of active polarization that reduces the cell voltage. At the same time, methanol and its oxygenated intermediates (CO) also poison commercial platinum carbon catalysts (Pt/C), affecting the catalytic activity of Pt on ORR. Finally, the rare and limited platinum content on earth, the high cost of commercial Pt/C catalysts, and the like are all factors that contribute to the commercial development of DMFCs. Therefore, finding and designing efficient, inexpensive, novel catalysts with high platinum utilization, high catalytic activity, stability, and strong CO poisoning resistance is a primary task for commercial development of DMFCs.
In order to find alternatives to Pt-based catalysts, 3D Transition Metals (TMs) are also widely used in the field of DMFCs catalysts, such as Fe, Co, Ni, and the like. When the metal and alloy nanoparticles are used as a catalyst, the catalyst not only has non-noble metal active sites, but also enriches the functions of single metal by alloying, and creates a new possibility for improving the electrocatalytic activity. However, agglomeration of the nanoparticles reduces the active sites, reducing the activity and stability of the catalyst. Therefore, it is important to confine the alloy nanoparticles in a limited space and maintain their excellent electrochemical activity. For example, nitrogen-doped carbon nanotubes have the advantages of unique hollow structure, excellent electronic conductivity, high mechanical strength, high specific surface area, good chemical stability and the like, and are considered to be an ideal electrocatalyst support material. In previous studies, the catalyst was usually present in powder form and the electrodes were made using a polymer binder, such as Nafion. The use of binders can result in increased charge transfer resistance and can result in a decrease in the active surface area of the catalyst, which in turn affects the performance and future development of DMFCs. Therefore, the active material growing on the carbon cloth can effectively prevent the agglomeration of the active material, fully utilize the active sites and improve the stability of the catalyst. Magnetron sputtering (PVD) is a plasma-based high-speed physical vapor deposition technique that bombards a target with ionized particles to cause atoms on the surface of the target to break off and then deposit on a substrate to form a thin film. PVD is a green and low-cost nano material preparation technology. Therefore, the key point of using the platinum nano cluster loaded on the nitrogen-doped carbon nano tube as the high-efficiency ORR/MOR bifunctional catalyst of the direct methanol fuel cell is that platinum is uniformly loaded on the surface of the nitrogen-doped carbon nano tube by utilizing plasma sputtering deposition, and the structure of the nitrogen-doped carbon nano tube is not damaged, so that the electrocatalytic performance and the Pt utilization rate are improved.
