Description

Pt/C catalyst with ultralow Pt loading capacity and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of hydrogen energy, and particularly relates to a Pt/C catalyst with ultralow Pt loading and a preparation method thereof.
Background
The types of catalysts in hydrogen fuel cells are mainly platinum-based catalysts, low platinum catalysts and non-platinum catalysts. The commercial catalyst commonly used in hydrogen fuel cells at present is platinum (Pt), which has good molecular adsorption and dissociation characteristics, so that the platinum catalyst is the most ideal and currently only commercialized catalyst material. Currently commercially available is the supported catalyst Pt/C (Pt nanoparticles dispersed on a carbon powder support). The Pt catalyst is one of the core materials of the fuel cell and accounts for more than 40% of the cost of the fuel cell stack. In 9 months of 2020, five departments, such as the finance department, the industry and communications department, jointly issue a notice about developing the demonstration application of the fuel cell automobile, and clearly point out that research and development breakthroughs of key materials and parts, such as catalysts, are mainly supported. In order to improve the performance and reduce the use amount, a Pt nanocrystallization dispersion preparation technology with small grain size is generally adopted. However, there are problems at present: the Pt particles with small particle size can get rid of the constraint of the carrier, migrate to larger particles and are combined to disappear, and the large particles can survive and continue to grow; the small-particle-size Pt particles are more prone to oxidation reaction and diffuse to the surface of the large-particle-size Pt particles in the form of platinum ions to be deposited, and therefore agglomeration is caused. Therefore, the carbon carrier is doped with impurity atoms such as nitrogen, oxygen, boron and the like, so that the surface adhesion of Pt particles and various transition metals (such as Co, ni, mn, fe, cu and the like) is enhanced, the durability is improved, and the anti-migration and agglomeration capabilities of the Pt-containing catalyst are enhanced. The Pt/Ir (Ta) catalyst developed by the American 3M company based on the ultrathin film catalytic technology has been realized at the cathode and the anode, and the average is as low as 0.09mg/cm 2 The amount of platinum used was 9.4kW/g (150 kPa reaction gas pressure) and 11.6kW/g (250 kPa reaction gas pressure) as catalytic power densities. The PtCo/high surface area carbon (HSC) developed by the German public automobile group also makes an important progress, and the catalytic power density and the heat dissipation capacity both exceed the planned target values set by the United states department of energy (2016-2020).
Aiming at the problems of low activity, large dosage and high cost of the platinum-based catalyst required by the preparation of the hydrogen fuel cell, the reduction of the dosage of the platinum-based catalyst and the optimized preparation of the membrane electrode based on the target are important ways for reducing the commercial cost of a hydrogen fuel cell system.
