Description

Method for preparing Pt-based ordered alloy fuel cell catalyst by metal nitride confinement
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of fuel cells, and relates to a preparation method of a fuel cell catalyst with high stability and high performance.
Background
Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells (PEMFCs) have a wide range of potential applications for their clean product, fuel sources that can provide high power of at least several tens of kilowatts or higher under various operating conditions for vehicle applications. Among them, the Membrane Electrode Assembly (MEA) is a key component of the fuel cell, and the catalytic layer thereon is a place where the reaction occurs, and the performance thereof directly determines the power density of the fuel cell, so that it is a current research focus to improve the performance of the catalyst of the membrane electrode assembly of the fuel cell.
Although extensive research is currently being conducted on fuel cell membrane electrode cathode catalysts, cathode catalysts are still subject to the key problem of slow kinetic reactions, and therefore large amounts of Pt metal are often required in fuel cell stacks, resulting in increased costs. In addition, the development of fuel cells is also restricted by the durability problem in long-term use of the fuel cells, and the commercialization process of the fuel cells is seriously influenced. The durability of the membrane electrode is insufficient mainly because the Pt particles in the catalyst are easy to migrate, agglomerate, fall off and dissolve on the carrier under the working condition of the fuel cell, which leads to the reduction of the active area of the catalyst, and further leads to the deactivation of the catalyst, which leads to the reduction of the performance of the fuel cell. Therefore, on the premise of not reducing or even improving the performance of the platinum-based catalyst, the key points of the current research are to improve the utilization rate of the noble metal platinum, reduce the cost and enhance the stability of the catalyst.
Combining noble metal Pt with lower-priced transition metals to form ordered intermetallic compounds is an effective way to increase the utilization of Pt and then reduce the amount of Pt used. Due to the addition of the transition metal, the electronic structure of Pt is adjusted, so that the d-band center of Pt is reduced, the adsorption of Pt sites on oxygen-containing intermediates is weakened, and the overall catalytic performance is improved; the ordered arrangement of different atoms in the ordered alloy can produce good bonding effect, so that the alloy particles obtain stronger stability. However, the preparation of Pt-based ordered intermetallic compounds often needs to be carried out in a high temperature environment to promote ordering of the alloy, which may result in difficult control of particle size. Therefore, how to prepare the Pt-based intermetallic compound with uniformly distributed particles and smaller size still has great challenge.
Chinese patent 202110599610.8 discloses a macroscopic preparation method of a supported high-dispersion small-size platinum-based ordered alloy electrocatalyst. The method uses the nano confinement effect of mesoporous silicon to inhibit the sintering phenomenon of nano particles, and prepares the ultra-small platinum-based ordered alloy. And the particles are uniformly loaded on the carbon carrier by controlling the step of removing the mesoporous silicon. However, this method uses a hydrofluoric acid solution to remove the mesoporous silicon, which is dangerous and difficult to remove impurities such as the mesoporous silicon.
Therefore, the research of a safe and effective method is especially important in the current research for avoiding the active surface loss of the nano particles caused by the agglomeration and growth of the nano particles in the heat treatment process while preparing the ordered alloy nano particles with ultra-small sizes.

1. according to the preparation method of the fuel cell catalyst, the ultrathin nitride protection layer is deposited around the metal particles to generate a confinement effect, so that the agglomeration and the migration of Pt-based metal particles in the high-temperature ordering process can be avoided.
2. The thickness of the nitride protective layer can be accurately controlled at an atomic level, the accurately controlled nitride thickness can not only ensure the sufficient confinement effect, but also avoid the loss of active sites caused by the fact that the Pt alloy particle surface is covered by the nitride protective layer due to the excessively thick protective layer.

FIG. 1 is an SEM image of catalyst samples obtained in examples 1 to 3 and comparative examples 1 to 3.
Firstly, the confinement effect of the ultrathin metal nitride layer in the heat treatment process is considered:
comparative example 2 shows that the prepared PtCo random alloy is loaded in the nitrogen-doped carbon nanotube, the particle size of the PtCo random alloy is about 3.9nm, and the particles are uniformly distributed. When the cobalt nitride protective layer was not deposited, the particle size of the PtCo random alloy in comparative example 3 was significantly increased to about 7.8nm after heat treatment. In example 1, after 15 ALD cycles, the cobalt nitride layer deposited on the support plays a significant confinement role, and after heat treatment, the average particle size is about 4.1nm, and the particle size of the particles is not significantly increased, so that the protection effect on the particles is realized, and the particles are prevented from migrating during the heat treatment.
Further consider the protection of Pt-based particles at different ALD cycle times, i.e. different thicknesses of the deposited cobalt nitride layer. Examples 2 and 3 are catalysts heat treated after 5 and 25 cycles, respectively, and when only 5 cycles were performed, a significant increase in particle size still occurred after the heat treatment due to insufficient thickness of the cobalt nitride layer, with an average particle size of about 5.6nm, but still smaller than comparative example 3, demonstrating some confinement protection, but not as good as that of example 1. When the number of deposition cycles is increased to 25, that is, as shown in example 3, cobalt nitride is deposited too thickly, part of the area will agglomerate into large particles of more than 10nm, but the particle size of the alloy particles except the small particles of the alloy particles around the large particles of more than 10nm is only about 4.3nm, and most of the particle sizes can still be obviously protected. And when the thickness is too high, it may coat the particle surface causing loss of active sites, which is more pronounced when the number of cycles is increased to 50. As shown in comparative example 1, due to the excessively high deposition thickness, not only large cobalt nitride particles are generated, but also it can be intuitively felt that the carbon nanotube carrier is coated with a thick cobalt nitride layer, which may affect the utilization rate of active sites of the catalyst. Therefore, it is extremely important to precisely control the thickness of the cobalt nitride protective layer, and example 1 prepared after 15 cycles can achieve both protection of the particles from particle size increase during heat treatment and prevention of the excessively thick protective layer from masking active sites.
Example 1 and comparativeThe catalyst prepared in example 2 and nafion solution are mixed in a proportion of 7:3, and a proper amount of ethanol is added for dispersion to prepare catalyst slurry; respectively spraying the prepared catalyst slurry to two sides of a proton membrane, wherein the spraying amount is 0.25mg/cm according to the loading amount of Pt on two sides 2 Preparing catalyst film and cutting to 5X 5 cm area 2 And assembled into a single cell, and the polarization curve and the energy density curve are tested according to the American department of energy testing standard.
Fig. 2 is an XRD pattern of the Pt-based alloys prepared in example 1 and comparative example 2. The results show that the alloy of comparative example 2 is disordered face-centered cubic Pt-Co particles, whereas the superlattice peak representing the ordered alloy appears in example 1, demonstrating that face-centered cubic ordered Pt is formed 3 A Co alloy.
Fig. 3 is a graph showing the results of performance tests of single cells prepared using the catalyst samples obtained in example 1 and comparative examples 2to 3. The peak power densities of the catalysts of example 1, comparative example 2 and comparative example 3 were 1069mW/cm, respectively 2 ,917mW/cm 2 ,826mW/cm 2 . The results show that the fuel cell performance of example 1 (ordered alloy catalyst) is much better than that of comparative example 2 (disordered alloy catalyst), demonstrating that ordering can improve the catalytic performance of Pt alloy. Meanwhile, the performance of the comparative example 2 is obviously better than that of the comparative example 3, and the key effect of the grain size of the alloy is proved.
FIG. 4 shows the results of performance tests of single cells prepared using the catalyst samples obtained in examples 1 to 3 and comparative example 1. The peak power densities of the catalysts of example 1, example 2, example 3 and comparative example 1 were 1069mW/cm 2 ,963mW/cm 2 ,891mW/cm 2 ,806mW/cm 2 . It is apparent that the energy density of comparative example 1 is the lowest, and when the thickness of the deposited cobalt nitride is too high, the catalytic performance is significantly reduced compared to example 1 even though the particle size of the Pt alloy is small, demonstrating that the too thick cobalt nitride masks part of the active sites of the Pt alloy particles. Example 1 outperformed examples 2 and 3, demonstrating that a precisely tailored cobalt nitride protective layer is critical to particle size control, and is capable of providing sufficient coverage for deposition of cobalt nitride at thicknesses of around 1.5nmThe protection effect is enough, so that the particle size of the Pt alloy particles is smaller, and the phenomenon that the surface active sites of the Pt alloy are covered by over-thick cobalt nitride is avoided.
The catalyst prepared in example 1 and comparative example 2 was subjected to accelerated durability testing of catalyst membrane assembled single cells with an area of 5 x 5 cm, accelerated aging testing of the catalyst was performed between 0.6 and 0.95V, and the tested catalyst was characterized after accelerated aging for 30000 cycles. Fig. 5 is an SEM image of the catalysts of example 1 and comparative example 2 after the fuel cell stability test was performed. The results show that after the stability test, the ordered alloy particles in example 1 still have a small particle size, an average particle size of 4.1nm and a uniform distribution, and compared with the SEM image without the stability test (example 1 in fig. 1), the particle size of the particles has not been significantly changed, and the phenomena of Pt dissolution and Pt shedding have not occurred. While the catalyst of comparative example 2 showed a significant increase in particle size after stability testing, with an average particle size increase of 7.2nm and the presence of some Pt particles above 20 nm. In addition, the particles were dissolved and dropped off in some regions due to the dissolution of Pt, and the stability was far inferior to that of example 1. This result further demonstrates the critical role of ordering on the stability of the alloy particles.
Table 1 shows the results of ICP measurements of example 1 and comparative example 2 before and after the fuel cell test
Figure DEST_PATH_IMAGE001
The results show that the catalyst of example 1 has a Pt content of about 30.8% before fuel cell testing and a Pt content of about 30.2% after fuel cell testing, with essentially no change, demonstrating the stability of the catalyst of example 1. While the disordered alloy comparative example 2 showed a weaker stability with a Pt content decreasing from 31.3% to 27.6% with leaching of Pt during the test.
The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and all equivalent changes and modifications made in accordance with the claims of the present invention should be covered by the present invention.
