Abstract
Description
本発明は、少なくとも水蒸気改質反応を用いて燃料改質を行い、水素ガスを得るための燃料改質触媒である水素生成触媒、および該触媒を用いた燃料改質器に関する。 The present invention relates to a hydrogen generation catalyst that is a fuel reforming catalyst for performing hydrogen reforming using at least a steam reforming reaction to obtain hydrogen gas, and a fuel reformer using the catalyst.
固体高分子型燃料電池は、水素と酸素を燃料として電気エネルギーを取り出す電池であり、高い出力密度、低温での動作、排気ガスに有害物質をほとんど含まないといった、特長を持ち合わせていながら、そのサイズや形状を、定置型、車載型などに対して、柔軟にコントロールできる新しい電力源として実用化が始まっている。 The polymer electrolyte fuel cell is a battery that extracts electrical energy using hydrogen and oxygen as fuel, and has the features of high power density, low temperature operation, and almost no harmful substances in the exhaust gas. Practical use has begun as a new power source that can be flexibly controlled with respect to the stationary type and in-vehicle type.
固体高分子型燃料電池のアノード極、すなわち水素反応極の燃料源には、高純度の水素ガスだけでなく、炭化水素ガス、アルコール等の水素を含む有機物質を燃料改質器に通して得られた水素富化ガスが使用されている。しかしながら、改質して得られる水素富化ガス中には、未改質の原料ガス、副生成物としての一酸化炭素が含まれており、低水素濃度の水素富化ガス中では、それら、水素以外のガスによってアノード電極が被毒され、燃料電池の性能の低下につながる。 The fuel source of the anode of the polymer electrolyte fuel cell, that is, the hydrogen reaction electrode, is obtained by passing not only high-purity hydrogen gas but also organic substances containing hydrogen such as hydrocarbon gas and alcohol through a fuel reformer. Hydrogen enriched gas is used. However, the hydrogen-enriched gas obtained by reforming contains unmodified raw material gas and carbon monoxide as a by-product, and in the hydrogen-enriched gas having a low hydrogen concentration, The anode electrode is poisoned by a gas other than hydrogen, leading to a decrease in fuel cell performance.
また、水素富化ガス中の水素濃度が低いことは、燃料源から得られる最終的なエネルギーのロスが多いことを意味する。 Also, a low hydrogen concentration in the hydrogen-enriched gas means that there is a lot of final energy loss obtained from the fuel source.
燃料の改質行程は、大きく分けて、原料の脱硫行程、燃料ガスの改質行程、改質ガス中の一酸化炭素除去行程を含んでいる。燃料ガスの改質には、燃料ガスと等量の水蒸気を高温で反応させて水素富化ガスを得る水蒸気改質による水素生成法が用いられるが、この行程での改質効率が、最終的な水素富化ガスの純度に対して、非常に大きな影響を与えることが知られている。 The fuel reforming process is roughly divided into a raw material desulfurization process, a fuel gas reforming process, and a carbon monoxide removal process in the reformed gas. For reforming of fuel gas, a hydrogen generation method using steam reforming in which an equal amount of water vapor is reacted with fuel gas at a high temperature to obtain a hydrogen-enriched gas is used. It is known to have a very large influence on the purity of a new hydrogen-enriched gas.
水素生成触媒としては、Niなどの卑金属が用いられるが、800℃といった高温で酸化されてしまい、触媒活性が低下することが知られている。 As the hydrogen generation catalyst, a base metal such as Ni is used, but it is known that it is oxidized at a high temperature of 800 ° C. and the catalytic activity is lowered.
一方、Ptなどの貴金属は温度に対する安定性が高いものの、触媒活性が低いという問題があり、NiやPtを遷移金属と合金化することによって温度安定性と触媒活性を向上させた合金系の触媒も存在する(例えば、特許文献1参照。)。 On the other hand, although noble metals such as Pt have high temperature stability, there is a problem that the catalytic activity is low, and an alloy-based catalyst in which temperature stability and catalytic activity are improved by alloying Ni or Pt with a transition metal. (For example, refer to Patent Document 1).
ただし、貴金属が高価であること、水蒸気改質反応時の温度は、その燃料や、動作条件によって変動するため、温度に対してより安定な触媒が要求されていることからジルコニアなどの酸化物に金属を担持した触媒が開発されている(例えば、特許文献2参照。)。
しかしながら、このような酸化物触媒も、水素生成反応時の燃料や、動作条件による大きな温度変動に対して十分なものではなく、特に、低温度域で高活性、かつ高温度域で耐熱性、耐酸化性に優れるようなものではない。 However, such an oxide catalyst is also not sufficient for a large temperature fluctuation due to the fuel during the hydrogen generation reaction and the operating conditions, in particular, high activity in the low temperature range and heat resistance in the high temperature range, It is not something that excels in oxidation resistance.
本発明は、低温度域での高い触媒活性と、高温度域での高い耐熱性、耐酸化性とを併せ持つ触媒を水素生成反応触媒として提供することを目的とする。 An object of the present invention is to provide a catalyst having both high catalytic activity in a low temperature range and high heat resistance and oxidation resistance in a high temperature range as a hydrogen generation reaction catalyst.
この課題を解決するために、本発明では高温においては耐酸化性に優れ、低温においても金属の触媒活性を向上させる効果のある複合酸化物を見出すと共に、該複合酸化物と、Ptなどの貴金属から構成される触媒を水素生成反応触媒として用いることが、水素生成反応時における改質効率を格段に向上し、ひいては燃料電池の特性向上に対しても極めて有効であることを見出し、本発明を完成するに至ったものである。 In order to solve this problem, the present invention finds a complex oxide that has excellent oxidation resistance at high temperatures and has an effect of improving the catalytic activity of the metal even at low temperatures, and the complex oxide and a noble metal such as Pt. It has been found that the use of a catalyst composed of the above as a hydrogen production reaction catalyst significantly improves the reforming efficiency during the hydrogen production reaction, and thus is extremely effective in improving the characteristics of the fuel cell. It has come to be completed.
本発明の水素生成反応触媒において用いられる複合酸化物は、下記化学式(1) The composite oxide used in the hydrogen generation reaction catalyst of the present invention has the following chemical formula (1)
(式中のAはアルカリ土類金属元素、アルカリ金属元素、ランタノイド、イットリウムおよびスカンジウムよりなる群から選ばれた少なくとも1種の元素を示し、Bは遷移金属元素より選ばれた少なくとも1種の元素を示す。δは酸素欠損量または酸素過剰量を表す。)で表され、ペロブスカイト構造を有する複合酸化物であり、Pt、Ru、Pd、Ag等の貴金属と組み合わせて用いられること望ましい。さらに好ましくは、化学式(1)のAが、下記化学式(2) (In the formula, A represents at least one element selected from the group consisting of alkaline earth metal elements, alkali metal elements, lanthanoids, yttrium and scandium, and B represents at least one element selected from transition metal elements. Is a composite oxide having a perovskite structure, and is preferably used in combination with a noble metal such as Pt, Ru, Pd, or Ag. More preferably, A in the chemical formula (1) is the following chemical formula (2):
である、下記化学式(1’) The following chemical formula (1 ')
で表され、ペロブスカイト構造を有する複合酸化物であり、その電子状態が電荷移動型に分類されるものであることが望ましい。ここで、上記式中のA’は、ランタノイド、イットリウムおよびスカンジウムよりなる群から選ばれた少なくと1種の元素を示し、A”はアルカリ金属元素およびアルカリ土類金属元素よりなる群から選ばれた少なくとも1種の元素であり、xは0≦x≦0.3、好ましくは0≦x≦0.2であり、Bは遷移金属元素より選ばれた少なくとも1種の元素である。xが上記に規定する範囲を外れると酸素が過剰に欠損する、また、ペロブスカイト構造を保てなくなる。 And a composite oxide having a perovskite structure, and its electronic state is preferably classified as a charge transfer type. Here, A ′ in the above formula represents at least one element selected from the group consisting of lanthanoids, yttrium and scandium, and A ″ is selected from the group consisting of alkali metal elements and alkaline earth metal elements. At least one element, x is 0 ≦ x ≦ 0.3, preferably 0 ≦ x ≦ 0.2, and B is at least one element selected from transition metal elements. Outside the range specified above, oxygen is lost excessively and the perovskite structure cannot be maintained.
上記式(1)ないし(1’)における酸素欠損量または酸素過剰量を表すδは、特に規定はないが、ペロブスカイト構造を維持するために、δ<0.5であることが望ましい。δの範囲としては、好ましくは−0.15<δ<0.5である。また特に好ましくは−0.05<δ<0.2である。すなわち、上記式(1)ないし(1’)の複合酸化物では、酸素が欠損している必要はなく(すなわち、0<δである必要はなく、例えば、後述する実施例3のように0>δであってもよいし、δ=0であってもよい。)、δはペロブスカイト構造を維持するためだけにその範囲を限定されるものである。逆に言えばペロブスカイト構造が維持される限りδはその条件を満たしているとも言える。よって、δが上記に規定するδ<0.5の範囲を多少外れても複合酸化物がペロブスカイト構造を有するものであれば、本発明の範囲に含まれるものである。この酸素欠損量δは、化学滴定によって調べることができる(後述する実施例でも当該測定法により調べた)。また、複合酸化物のペロブスカイト構造の確認は粉末X線回折測定によって行うことができる(後述する実施例でも当該測定法により調べた)。 Δ representing the amount of oxygen deficiency or oxygen excess in the above formulas (1) to (1 ′) is not particularly defined, but it is desirable that δ <0.5 in order to maintain the perovskite structure. The range of δ is preferably −0.15 <δ <0.5. Particularly preferably, -0.05 <δ <0.2. That is, in the composite oxides of the above formulas (1) to (1 ′), oxygen does not need to be deficient (that is, 0 <δ does not have to be satisfied, for example, as in Example 3 described later, 0 > Δ or δ = 0.), Δ is limited in scope only to maintain the perovskite structure. Conversely, as long as the perovskite structure is maintained, δ satisfies the condition. Therefore, even if δ slightly deviates from the range of δ <0.5 defined above, any composite oxide having a perovskite structure is included in the scope of the present invention. This amount of oxygen deficiency δ can be examined by chemical titration (in the examples described later, this measurement method was also used). In addition, confirmation of the perovskite structure of the composite oxide can be performed by powder X-ray diffraction measurement (in the examples described later, this measurement method was also used).
ここで、本発明で言う遷移金属元素とは、元素番号22番のTi〜29番のCu、40番のZr〜47番のAg、72番のHf〜79番のAu、89番のAc〜103番のLrまでの元素をいう。すなわち、通常、遷移金属元素に含まれる希土類元素(元素番号21番のスカンジウム(Sc)、元素番号39番のイットリウム(Y)および元素番号57番のランタン(La)から71番のルテチウム(Lu)までのランタノイド)は含まないものとする。 Here, the transition metal element referred to in the present invention is the element number 22 Ti to 29th Cu, the number 40 Zr to the 47th Ag, the 72nd Hf to the 79th Au, the 89th Ac to Elements up to 103rd Lr. That is, usually rare earth elements contained in transition metal elements (element No. 21 scandium (Sc), element No. 39 yttrium (Y), and element No. 57 lanthanum (La) to No. 71 lutetium (Lu)) Lanthanoids) are not included.
アルカリ金属元素は、周期表1族の金属元素をいい、Li、Na、K、Rb、Cs、Frをいう。アルカリ土類金属元素は、周期表2族の金属元素のうち、Be、Mgを除く、Ca、Sr、Ba、Raをいう。 An alkali metal element refers to a metal element belonging to Group 1 of the periodic table, and refers to Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs, and Fr. The alkaline earth metal element refers to Ca, Sr, Ba, and Ra, excluding Be and Mg, among the metal elements of Group 2 of the periodic table.
複合酸化物において、その電子状態は遷移金属のd電子が伝導を担うモットー・ハバード型と、酸素の2p軌道より生成されたホールが伝導を担う電荷移動型に分類される。従来の複合酸化物触媒はモットー・ハバード型であったが、触媒活性が十分でなく、近年、電荷移動型の複合酸化物において触媒活性が高いことが見出された(F.Munakata et.al. Physical Review B, 56巻 3号 979〜982ページ (1997))。前記化学式(1’)で表される複合酸化物は、その電子状態がこの電荷移動型で、電子系のキャリアが複合酸化物中の酸素の2p軌道より生成されたホールであることが必要である。かかる複合酸化物の電子状態は、陽イオン元素(Aサイト、Bサイト)の置換によって電荷移動型となるように制御することができ、モットー・ハバードと電荷移動型による電子状態の違いはXPS(X線光電子分光)測定を用いて観測することができる(後述する実施例でも当該測定法により調べた)。 In the composite oxide, the electronic state is classified into the Mott-Hubbard type in which the d-electron of the transition metal is responsible for conduction and the charge transfer type in which the hole generated from the 2p orbit of oxygen is responsible for conduction. Conventional composite oxide catalysts have been of the Mott-Hubbard type, but their catalytic activity is not sufficient, and in recent years, it has been found that charge transfer type composite oxides have high catalytic activity (F. Munakata et.al. Physical Review B, Vol. 56, No. 3, pages 979-982 (1997)). The complex oxide represented by the chemical formula (1 ′) needs to have an electron state of this charge transfer type, and an electron carrier is a hole generated from a 2p orbit of oxygen in the complex oxide. is there. The electronic state of the composite oxide can be controlled to be a charge transfer type by substitution of a cation element (A site, B site), and the difference between the electronic states of Mott Hubbard and the charge transfer type is XPS ( It can be observed by using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (measured by the measurement method in Examples described later).
上記複合酸化物の陽イオン元素のAサイトとしては、化学式(2);A’1−xA”xで表されるものが好ましく、このうち、A’としては、イオン半径の観点から、La、Ndが特に望ましい。A”としては、イオン半径の観点から、Sr、Ba、Cs、Kが特に望ましい。すなわち、Aサイトに用いられる元素のうち、アルカリ金属元素としては、Cs、Kが、アルカリ土類金属元素としては、Ba、Srが、ランタノイドとしては、La、Ndが特に好ましい元素と言える。複合酸化物の陽イオン元素のBサイトとしては、イオン半径の観点から、Co、Ni、Feが好ましい元素と言える。さらに(Fe,Mn)、(Co,Mn)などMn等と組み合わせてもよい。 The A site of the cation element of the composite oxide is preferably represented by the chemical formula (2); A ′ 1-x A ″ x. Among these, A ′ is La from the viewpoint of the ionic radius. Nd is particularly desirable. As A ″, Sr, Ba, Cs, and K are particularly desirable from the viewpoint of the ionic radius. That is, among the elements used in the A site, Cs and K are particularly preferable as the alkali metal elements, Ba and Sr are particularly preferable as the alkaline earth metal elements, and La and Nd are particularly preferable as the lanthanoid elements. As the B site of the cation element of the composite oxide, it can be said that Co, Ni, and Fe are preferable elements from the viewpoint of the ionic radius. Further, (Fe, Mn), (Co, Mn), etc. may be combined with Mn.
この水素生成触媒用複合酸化物は、一般的な固相反応法を用いても作製できるが、より活性の高い粉末を得るためには、クエン酸塩法、シュウ酸塩法のような液相法を用いることが望ましく、得られた二次粒子の平均粒径は、5μm以下であることが好ましく、1μm以下であることがより望ましい。得られた二次粒子の平均粒径が5μmを超える場合には比表面積が減少し、活性が低下する。なお、水素生成触媒用複合酸化物の二次粒子の平均粒径は、光散乱方式の粒度分布計によって測定することができる。すなわち、得られる耐一酸化炭素被毒触媒用複合酸化物の微粉末は、凝集等して二次粒子を形成する、もしくは凝集等してアグロマレート(集塊物)を形成し、それが二次的に集まって二次粒子を形成したものである。 This composite oxide for hydrogen generation catalyst can be produced using a general solid phase reaction method, but in order to obtain a more active powder, a liquid phase such as the citrate method or the oxalate method is used. The average particle diameter of the obtained secondary particles is preferably 5 μm or less, and more preferably 1 μm or less. When the average particle diameter of the obtained secondary particles exceeds 5 μm, the specific surface area decreases and the activity decreases. The average particle size of the secondary particles of the composite oxide for hydrogen generation catalyst can be measured by a light scattering type particle size distribution meter. That is, the obtained fine powder of the composite oxide for a carbon monoxide-resistant poisoning catalyst is agglomerated to form secondary particles, or agglomerated to form agglomerates (aggregates), which are secondary Are gathered together to form secondary particles.
この複合酸化物と組み合わせて用いられる金属は、少なくとも1種の貴金属である必要があり、複合酸化物に対して、重量比として、少なくとも0.1wt%、好ましくは0.5〜10wt%の範囲で用いられることが望ましい。ここで、この複合酸化物と組み合わせて用いられる貴金属の使用量が、0.1wt%未満の場合には十分な活性が得られないおそれがある。なお、貴金属の使用量の上限値については、特に制限されるものではないが、凝集による比表面積低下を防止する観点から、15wt%とするのが望ましい。この複合酸化物と組み合わせて用いられる貴金属(合金を含む)の使用の方法、形状、形態は問わないが、それら貴金属の微粒子が、複合酸化物の二次粒子中に含浸、または二次粒子の表面に分布していることが望ましい。かかる貴金属を微粒子の形態で用いる場合には、該貴金属微粒子の平均粒径は100nm以下、好ましくは10nm以下である。該貴金属微粒子の平均粒径が200nmを超える場合には、貴金属微粒子の表面積(触媒としての作用面積)が十分でなく、また複合酸化物の二次粒子中の間隙に含浸させるのが困難となったり、複合酸化物の二次粒子表面への均一な分布が困難となる。なお、貴金属微粒子の平均粒径の下限値は特に制限されるべきものではない。この貴金属の微粒子の平均粒径は、例えば、透過型電子顕微鏡などを用いて測定することができる。貴金属微粒子の粒径は、絶対最大長を用いるものとする。 The metal used in combination with the composite oxide must be at least one kind of noble metal, and the weight ratio with respect to the composite oxide is at least 0.1 wt%, preferably in the range of 0.5 to 10 wt%. It is desirable to be used in. Here, if the amount of the noble metal used in combination with the composite oxide is less than 0.1 wt%, sufficient activity may not be obtained. The upper limit of the amount of noble metal used is not particularly limited, but is preferably 15 wt% from the viewpoint of preventing a decrease in specific surface area due to aggregation. The method, shape and form of the noble metals (including alloys) used in combination with this composite oxide are not limited, but the noble metal fine particles are impregnated into the secondary particles of the composite oxide, or the secondary particles It is desirable to be distributed on the surface. When such noble metal is used in the form of fine particles, the average particle size of the noble metal fine particles is 100 nm or less, preferably 10 nm or less. When the average particle diameter of the noble metal fine particles exceeds 200 nm, the surface area (acting area as a catalyst) of the noble metal fine particles is not sufficient, and it becomes difficult to impregnate the gaps in the secondary particles of the composite oxide. In other words, it is difficult to uniformly distribute the composite oxide on the secondary particle surface. In addition, the lower limit of the average particle diameter of the noble metal fine particles is not particularly limited. The average particle diameter of the noble metal fine particles can be measured using, for example, a transmission electron microscope. The absolute maximum length is used as the particle diameter of the noble metal fine particles.

Physical Review B, 56巻 3号 979〜982ページ (1997)参照のこと。)である必要があり、電子系のキャリアが複合酸化物中の酸素の2p軌道より生成されたホールであることが必要である。 In the composite oxide for a hydrogen generation catalyst, the electronic structure thereof must be a charge transfer type (see F. Munakata et.al. Physical Review B, Vol. 56, No. 3, pages 979 to 982 (1997)). It is necessary that the electron carrier is a hole generated from the 2p orbit of oxygen in the composite oxide.

以下に本発明を実施例、比較例によって詳細に説明するが、本発明はこれら実施例に限定されるものではなく、金属を複合酸化物中に含浸させることは、必ずしも必要ではない。 Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to examples and comparative examples. However, the present invention is not limited to these examples, and it is not always necessary to impregnate a complex oxide with a metal.
