Description

Ternary metal oxide oxygen reduction catalyst and preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of metal air fuel cells, in particular to a ternary metal oxide oxygen reduction catalyst and a preparation method and application thereof.
Background
The dual pressures of energy and the environment are driving people to continually seek new energy sources and new energy storage and conversion modes. Among the many energy storage and conversion types, electrochemical energy conversion and storage technologies (including metal-air batteries, fuel cells, supercapacitors, etc.) have been recognized as one of the most viable energy conversion and storage modes. Among them, the metal-air battery has been receiving extensive attention from researchers because of advantages of mild discharge conditions, stable output voltage, low cost, environmental friendliness, high safety performance, and the like.
The air cathode is a core component of a metal-air battery as a tool for energy conversion, and directly affects the performance and service life of the metal-air battery. The air cathode is generally composed of a gas diffusion layer, a current collector and a catalytic layer, and the internal multiphase interface, namely, the three-phase interface formed by air, electrolyte and a catalyst, is a place where an oxygen reduction reaction (Oxygen Reductive Reaction, ORR) occurs. However, the oxygen reduction reaction kinetics of the air cathode are very slow, which greatly limits the energy output of the fuel cell. Heretofore, platinum-based catalysts, silver-based catalysts, etc. have remained the most effective ORR catalysts, but have been costly, poor in durability, and limited their large-scale application. In addition, a metal-air battery electrolyte solution generally employs a high-concentration alkaline electrolyte aqueous solution (6M, 8M, even 10M sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide solution, etc.), and as the concentration of the alkaline electrolyte increases, the diffusion coefficient and solubility of oxygen in the electrolyte significantly decrease, resulting in the electron transfer path of ORR being affected, thereby inhibiting catalytic activity. Therefore, designing and preparing the ORR catalyst with high activity, high stability and low cost is of great importance for promoting the wide application of the fuel cell.
Disclosure of Invention
The transition metal oxide has excellent oxygen reduction activity and low cost, and the carbon-supported transition metal oxide formed by compounding the transition metal oxide with carbon is expected to replace a noble metal Pt/C catalyst. In addition, in the ORR reaction process, the transition metal oxide is expected to induce the transition from the oxygen adsorption process to bridge double-tooth adsorption, so that the ORR reaction is facilitated. However, single transition metal oxide materials still suffer from drawbacks, and the intrinsic activity of the material is still different from that of Pt materials with "volcanic curve" peaks. Furthermore, considering that in practical use of the metal-air battery, as the alkali concentration increases, oxygen solubility decreases sharply and solution viscosity increases continuously, the ORR reaction electron transfer number gradually changes from the expected 4 electron transfer to 2 electrons, even single electrons, thereby resulting in a great suppression of the ORR process. Therefore, the carbon-supported multi-element transition metal oxide with low cost is designed and prepared, the advantages of the synergistic catalysis and oxygen double-tooth adsorption among the multi-element transition metal oxides are exerted, and the ORR performance is comparable with the catalytic performance of Pt/C or Ag/C in a concentrated alkaline electrolyte environment.
In order to solve the problems, the invention provides an oxygen reduction catalyst with high activity, high stability and low cost. The synergistic catalysis between the multiple transition metal oxides is utilized, so that the catalyst still has higher catalysis performance under the condition of concentrated alkaline electrolyte.
