Description
本発明は、燃料供給のON/OFFを繰り返すDSS運転によっても良好に使用可能な燃料電池用水素製造触媒、及びその触媒を備えたDSS運転対応型燃料電池に関する。 The present invention relates to a hydrogen production catalyst for a fuel cell that can be satisfactorily used even by DSS operation in which fuel supply is repeatedly turned on and off, and a DSS operation-compatible fuel cell including the catalyst.
水素と酸素を燃料とする固体高分子型燃料電池(PEFC)は、低公害で熱効率が高いため、自動車用電源や分散電源等の幅広い分野での動力源として、また、家電製品等の民生用の動力源としての適用が期待されている。この燃料電池に燃料である水素を供給するには幾つかの方法があるが、メタン、プロパン、天然ガス、灯油等の炭化水素を触媒(本願では「水素製造触媒」という。)の存在下で水蒸気改質して水素を製造する方法が一般的に検討されている。 The polymer electrolyte fuel cell (PEFC) that uses hydrogen and oxygen as fuel is low-pollution and high in thermal efficiency, so it can be used as a power source in a wide range of fields such as automobile power supplies and distributed power supplies, and for consumer electronics such as home appliances. Application as a power source is expected. There are several methods for supplying hydrogen as a fuel to the fuel cell, but hydrocarbons such as methane, propane, natural gas, and kerosene are used in the presence of a catalyst (referred to herein as a “hydrogen production catalyst”). A method for producing hydrogen by steam reforming has been generally studied.
こうした水蒸気改質法は、例えばメタンを原料とした場合には、そのメタンを水素製造触媒の存在下で、CH4+H2O→CO+3H2 の反応により水素を含む改質ガスを得るが、その改質ガスは多量の一酸化炭素を含み、この一酸化炭素は燃料電池の働きを阻害する被毒物質として作用する。そこで、その後に、例えばCu−Zn等のCO変成触媒の存在下で、CO+H2O→CO2+H2 の反応により一酸化炭素を二酸化炭素に変換し、さらにその後に、例えばPtやRu等のCO除去触媒を有するCO除去触媒の存在下で、CO+1/2O2→CO の反応により一酸化炭素をさらに除去する方法が検討されている(例えば、特許文献1,2を参照)。
In the steam reforming method, for example, when methane is used as a raw material, a reformed gas containing hydrogen is obtained by a reaction of CH 4 + H 2 O → CO + 3H 2 in the presence of a hydrogen production catalyst. The reformed gas contains a large amount of carbon monoxide, and this carbon monoxide acts as a poisoning substance that inhibits the operation of the fuel cell. Therefore, after that, in the presence of a CO shift catalyst such as Cu—Zn, for example, carbon monoxide is converted into carbon dioxide by a reaction of CO + H 2 O → CO 2 + H 2 , and then, for example, Pt, Ru, etc. A method of further removing carbon monoxide by the reaction of CO + 1 / 2O 2 → CO 2 in the presence of a CO removal catalyst having a CO removal catalyst has been studied (see, for example,
ところで、従来、工業的に利用されている水素の90%は主にNi/Al2O3触媒を用いた水蒸気改質法により連続的に製造されているが、こうしたNi/Al2O3触媒は貴金属を含まないため安価であり、実用上極めて有利な触媒である。一方、水素を燃料とする固体高分子型燃料電池(PEFC)は民生用の燃料電池としての実用化が期待されており、そのため、daily start-up and shut-down運転(本願では「DSS運転」という。)が伴うことから、水蒸気改質法による水素製造も燃料電池のDSS運転に対応した安定製造が要求されている。 Meanwhile, conventionally, although 90% of the hydrogen that is industrially used are mainly continuously produced by the steam reforming method using a Ni / Al 2 O 3 catalyst, such Ni / Al 2 O 3 catalyst Is inexpensive because it contains no precious metal and is a very advantageous catalyst for practical use. On the other hand, a polymer electrolyte fuel cell (PEFC) using hydrogen as a fuel is expected to be put to practical use as a consumer fuel cell. Therefore, a daily start-up and shut-down operation (in this application, “DSS operation”) is expected. Therefore, stable production corresponding to the DSS operation of the fuel cell is also required for the hydrogen production by the steam reforming method.
DSS運転対応型燃料電池に水素を供給するためには、水蒸気改質もDSS運転により行われることになる。そのため、水素製造触媒には、燃料であるメタン等の炭化水素原料が供給される燃料雰囲気と、炭化水素原料が供給されない水蒸気雰囲気とが任意の間隔で繰り返される。こうした場合であっても、上記の安価なNi/Al2O3触媒を用いて水素を製造できればよいが、Ni/Al2O3は高温で水蒸気雰囲気下に晒されると、Ni金属のシンタリングが起こり、活性が低下することがよく知られている(例えば非特許文献1を参照)。 In order to supply hydrogen to the DSS operation compatible fuel cell, steam reforming is also performed by the DSS operation. Therefore, a fuel atmosphere in which a hydrocarbon raw material such as methane as a fuel is supplied to a hydrogen production catalyst and a water vapor atmosphere in which no hydrocarbon raw material is supplied are repeated at an arbitrary interval. Even in such a case, it is sufficient that hydrogen can be produced using the above-described inexpensive Ni / Al 2 O 3 catalyst. However, Ni / Al 2 O 3 is sintered in Ni metal when exposed to a steam atmosphere at a high temperature. It is well known that the activity decreases and the activity decreases (see, for example, Non-Patent Document 1).
そこで現在、固体高分子型燃料電池用の水蒸気改質触媒には、Ruを触媒活性成分としAl2O3を担体としたものや、RuとNiを触媒活性成分としAl2O3を担体としたものが用いられている(例えば特許文献3を参照)。
しかしながら、貴金属であるRuは高価であるため、実用化のためにはNi等の比較的値段の安い卑金属を使うことができると共に、炭化水素原料が供給される燃料雰囲気と、炭化水素原料が供給されない水蒸気雰囲気とが任意の間隔で繰り返される場合であっても安定した触媒性能を発揮できる、DSS運転対応型の水素製造触媒が求められている。 However, since Ru, which is a noble metal, is expensive, it is possible to use a relatively inexpensive base metal such as Ni for practical use, as well as a fuel atmosphere to which a hydrocarbon raw material is supplied and a hydrocarbon raw material to be supplied. There is a need for a DSS operation-compatible hydrogen production catalyst that can exhibit stable catalyst performance even when a steam atmosphere that is not performed is repeated at an arbitrary interval.
本発明は、上記課題を解決するためになされたものであって、その目的は、燃料供給のON/OFFを繰り返すDSS運転によっても安定して使用することができる燃料電池用水素製造触媒を提供すること、及び、その水素製造触媒を備えたDSS運転対応型燃料電池を提供することにある。 The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a hydrogen production catalyst for a fuel cell that can be stably used even by DSS operation in which fuel supply is repeatedly turned on and off. It is another object of the present invention to provide a fuel cell for DSS operation including the hydrogen production catalyst.

この発明によれば、上記組成物を燃料電池用水素製造触媒として用いたので、炭化水素原料が供給されない水蒸気雰囲気でも触媒性能を維持することができ、DSS運転対応型の燃料電池用水素製造触媒として好ましく用いることができる。さらに、この発明によれば、水素製造触媒が貴金属を主要材料として含んでいないので、触媒コストの低減を図ることができる。 According to the present invention, since the composition is used as a hydrogen production catalyst for a fuel cell, the catalyst performance can be maintained even in a steam atmosphere in which no hydrocarbon raw material is supplied. Can be preferably used. Furthermore, according to the present invention, since the hydrogen production catalyst does not contain a noble metal as a main material, the catalyst cost can be reduced.

(燃料電池用水素製造触媒)
本発明の燃料電池用水素製造触媒は、燃料供給のON/OFFを繰り返すDSS運転対応型の燃料電池用水素製造触媒として用いられるものであって、一般式ABO3型でそのBがNixM(1−x)の組成物からなるものである。そして、この組成物は、DSS運転時に、上記Ni元素が金属Niとしてオキシ炭酸化合物に担持された状態になっている。
(Hydrogen production catalyst for fuel cells)
The fuel cell hydrogen production catalyst of the present invention is used as a fuel cell hydrogen production catalyst for DSS operation that repeats ON / OFF of fuel supply, and is a general formula ABO 3 type, where B is Ni x M It consists of the composition of (1-x) . And this composition is in the state by which the said Ni element was carry | supported by the oxycarbonic acid compound as metal Ni at the time of DSS driving | operation.
本発明では、Ni元素がDSS運転時に金属Niとしてオキシ炭酸化合物に担持されているように構成されるので、炭化水素原料が供給されない水蒸気雰囲気を伴うshut-down時においても、Ni酸化物になって触媒活性が失活することがなく、触媒性能を維持することができるという効果がある。 In the present invention, since the Ni element is configured to be supported on the oxycarbonic acid compound as metal Ni during the DSS operation, it becomes Ni oxide even at the time of shut-down accompanied by a steam atmosphere in which no hydrocarbon raw material is supplied. Thus, there is an effect that the catalyst performance is not deactivated and the catalyst performance can be maintained.
一般式ABO3型はペロブスカイト型構造としてよく知られている構造であるが、本発明においては、結晶学的に必ずしもペロブスカイト構造でなくてもよく、組成比としてABO3型になっていればよい。 The general formula ABO 3 type is a structure well known as a perovskite structure. However, in the present invention, the perovskite structure is not necessarily crystallographically, and the composition ratio may be ABO 3 type. .
ABO3型の組成物において、本願では、Bサイトの元素がNixM(1−x)であることに特徴がある。特に好ましい触媒活性を示すM元素としては、Mn(マンガン)を挙げることができる。Mnを構成元素とした場合のNixMn(1−x)において、炭化水素原料から水素への水蒸気改質反応(例えば、CH4+H2O→CO+3H2)による変換効率の観点からは、xが0.7±0.10であること、すなわち、xが0.6以上0.8以下であることが好ましい。 The ABO 3 type composition is characterized in that the element at the B site is Ni x M (1-x) in the present application. M element (manganese) can be mentioned as an M element exhibiting particularly preferable catalytic activity. In the case of Ni x Mn (1-x) where Mn is a constituent element, from the viewpoint of conversion efficiency by a steam reforming reaction (for example, CH 4 + H 2 O → CO + 3H 2 ) from a hydrocarbon raw material to hydrogen, x Is preferably 0.7 ± 0.10, that is, x is 0.6 or more and 0.8 or less.

Among these, when the element at the B site is Ni x Mn (1-x) , La can be preferably exemplified as the element at the A site, and La y Ce (1-y) can be preferably exemplified. it can. By constituting the A site with these elements, preferable catalytic performance can be exhibited. In the experimental examples described later, an example in which y is 0.5 in La y Ce (1-y) is illustrated.

The content of the element with respect to the total weight of the hydrogen production catalyst is selected so that the catalyst performance during DSS operation can be further improved. All of these elements are called noble metals and are somewhat undesirable in terms of cost. However, in the present application, the content is in the above range and is not included as a main component, so that an increase in cost can be prevented as much as possible. In addition, it is more preferable from the point of catalyst activity to contain Pd especially among the said elements.

図3は、実験例1で得られたLaNixMn(1-X)O3の触媒粉末を改質反応させた後のCH4転化率の測定結果を示すグラフである。Bサイトを構成するNiのモル比が約0.7のとき極大値を示しているのが確認され、その±10%程度が好ましい範囲であることが推察された。なお、各実験例と各比較実験例では、通常の実用態様に比べてかなり高いGHSVで行った加速試験を行っているので、測定されたCH4転化率の実測値はやや低い値を示しているが、実用態様のGHSVで行った測定では十分に高いCH4転化率が見込まれる。一方、比較実験例1で得られた触媒粉末についても同様に測定したが、実験例1で得られたような触媒活性は得られなかった。また、Bサイトにさらに他の元素を導入した比較実験例2で得られた触媒粉末についても同様に測定したが、実験例1で得られたような触媒活性は得られなかった。
(Catalyst activity measurement results)
FIG. 3 is a graph showing the measurement results of the CH 4 conversion after the reforming reaction of the LaNi x Mn (1-X) O 3 catalyst powder obtained in Experimental Example 1. It was confirmed that the maximum value was shown when the molar ratio of Ni constituting the B site was about 0.7, and it was estimated that about ± 10% was a preferable range. In each experimental example and each comparative experimental example, an acceleration test performed at a considerably higher GHSV than that in a normal practical mode is performed. Therefore, the measured value of the measured CH 4 conversion rate is slightly lower. However, a sufficiently high CH 4 conversion rate is expected in the measurement performed with the practical GHSV. On the other hand, the catalyst powder obtained in Comparative Experimental Example 1 was also measured in the same manner, but the catalytic activity as obtained in Experimental Example 1 was not obtained. Further, the catalyst powder obtained in Comparative Experimental Example 2 in which another element was further introduced into the B site was measured in the same manner, but the catalytic activity as obtained in Experimental Example 1 was not obtained.
実験例2〜3で得られた触媒粉末は貴金属を僅かに含有させたLaNi0.7Mn0.3O3の触媒粉末であるが、この触媒粉末を改質反応させた後のCH4転化率の測定結果については、いずれも5〜7%の変化率が確認された。測定されたCH4転化率の実測値はやや低い値を示しているが、実用態様のGHSVで行った測定では十分に高いCH4転化率が見込まれる。 The catalyst powders obtained in Experimental Examples 2 to 3 are LaNi 0.7 Mn 0.3 O 3 catalyst powder slightly containing a noble metal, and the measurement results of the CH 4 conversion rate after reforming reaction of this catalyst powder. For all, a change rate of 5 to 7% was confirmed. Although the measured value of the measured CH 4 conversion rate is somewhat low, a sufficiently high CH 4 conversion rate is expected in the measurement performed with the practical GHSV.
実験例4で得られた触媒粉末はAサイトにCe元素を導入したLa0.5Ce0.5Ni0.7Mn0.3O3の触媒粉末であるが、この触媒粉末を改質反応させた後のCH4転化率の測定結果については、約4%程度の変化率が確認された。測定されたCH4転化率の実測値はやや低い値を示しているが、実用態様のGHSVで行った測定では十分に高いCH4転化率が見込まれる。一方、Ce元素に変えて他の元素を導入した比較実験例3で得られた触媒粉末についても同様に測定したが、実験例4で得られたような触媒活性は得られなかった。 The catalyst powder obtained in Experimental Example 4 is a La 0.5 Ce 0.5 Ni 0.7 Mn 0.3 O 3 catalyst powder in which Ce element is introduced at the A site. The CH 4 conversion rate after the catalyst powder is subjected to a reforming reaction. As for the measurement results, a change rate of about 4% was confirmed. Although the measured value of the measured CH 4 conversion rate is somewhat low, a sufficiently high CH 4 conversion rate is expected in the measurement performed with the practical GHSV. On the other hand, the catalyst powder obtained in Comparative Experimental Example 3 in which another element was introduced instead of Ce element was measured in the same manner, but the catalytic activity as obtained in Experimental Example 4 was not obtained.

It shows.
図4に示すように、水素還元前の触媒粉末は、XRDパターンからLaNi0.7Mn0.3O3の存在が同定され、さらに、XAFS測定結果からも、NiOや金属Niが存在しないことが確認された。また、図5に示すように、水素還元後の触媒粉末は、XRDパターンから酸化ランタン(La2O3)と金属Niの存在が同定され、さらに、XAFS測定結果からは、金属Niの存在とNiOの不存在が確認された。また、図6に示すように、スチーミング温度後においても触媒活性を有する触媒粉末は、XRDパターンからオキシ炭酸ランタン(La2O2CO3)と金属Niとマンガン酸ランタン(LaMnO3)との存在が同定され、さらに、XAFS測定結果からは、金属Niの存在とNiOの不存在が確認された。また、図7に示すように、失活した後の触媒粉末は、XRDパターンからニッケル酸ランタン(LaNiO3)とマンガン酸ランタン(LaMnO3)との存在が同定され、さらに、XAFS測定結果からは、金属Niの不存在とNiOの存在が確認された。また、図8に示すように、再生された触媒粉末は、図6と同様、XRDパターンからニッケル酸ランタン(LaNiO3)とマンガン酸ランタン(LaMnO3)との存在が同定され、さらに、XAFS測定結果からは、金属Niの不存在とNiOの存在が確認された。 As shown in FIG. 4, in the catalyst powder before hydrogen reduction, the presence of LaNi 0.7 Mn 0.3 O 3 was identified from the XRD pattern, and further XAFS measurement results confirmed that NiO and metallic Ni were not present. . Further, as shown in FIG. 5, in the catalyst powder after hydrogen reduction, the presence of lanthanum oxide (La 2 O 3 ) and metal Ni was identified from the XRD pattern. Further, from the XAFS measurement results, the presence of metal Ni was confirmed. The absence of NiO was confirmed. Further, as shown in FIG. 6, the catalyst powder having catalytic activity even after the steaming temperature is obtained from the XRD pattern of lanthanum oxycarbonate (La 2 O 2 CO 3 ), metal Ni, and lanthanum manganate (LaMnO 3 ). The presence was identified, and the XAFS measurement results confirmed the presence of metallic Ni and the absence of NiO. Further, as shown in FIG. 7, the catalyst powder after deactivation was identified from the XRD pattern as to the presence of lanthanum nickelate (LaNiO 3 ) and lanthanum manganate (LaMnO 3 ). The absence of metallic Ni and the presence of NiO were confirmed. In addition, as shown in FIG. 8, the regenerated catalyst powder was identified for the presence of lanthanum nickelate (LaNiO 3 ) and lanthanum manganate (LaMnO 3 ) from the XRD pattern as in FIG. The results confirmed the absence of metallic Ni and the presence of NiO.
この結果が示すように、一般式ABO3型でそのBサイトがNixM(1−x)の組成物からなる触媒粉末においては、DSS運転時に、金属Niがオキシ炭酸ランタン(La2O2CO3)に担持された状態になっていることによって、触媒活性を示していると考えられる。したがって、こうした金属Niがオキシ炭酸化合物上に担持されているように、Aサイトの元素やBサイトの元素を選択することができれば、安価で安定した触媒粉末とすることができると考えられる。なお、本願では、好ましい実験例としてLaNixMn(1-X)O3組成物を挙げることができ、さらにその組成物に僅かな貴金属を添加した場合も同様の効果が得られることがわかった。
As shown by this result, in the catalyst powder having the general formula ABO 3 type and the B site of Ni x M (1-x) , the metal Ni is lanthanum oxycarbonate (La 2 O 2) during the DSS operation. It is considered that the catalyst activity is shown by being in a state of being supported on CO 3 ). Therefore, it is considered that an inexpensive and stable catalyst powder can be obtained if an A-site element or a B-site element can be selected such that such metal Ni is supported on an oxycarbonic acid compound. In the present application, there may be mentioned LaNi x Mn (1-X)
