Description
본 발명은 고분자전해질(PEM, Proton Exchange Membrane) 수전해 시스템에 관한 것으로써, 산소발생전극에 귀금속촉매 사용량을 줄이기 위한 촉매의 제조방법에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a polymer electrolyte (PEM, Proton Exchange Membrane) water electrolysis system, and to a method for preparing a catalyst for reducing the amount of a noble metal catalyst used in an oxygen generating electrode.
수전해는 크게 알칼리 전해질을 사용하는 알칼리 수전해와 산성 전해질막을 사용하는 고분자 전해질 수전해가 있다. 고분자 전해질 수전해는 고가의 귀금속 촉매[양극(anode) : IrOx, 음극(cathode) : Pt/C]를 이용하여 물을 전기분해 하는 시스템이다. Water electrolysis is largely divided into alkaline water electrolysis using an alkaline electrolyte and polymer electrolyte water electrolysis using an acidic electrolyte membrane. Polyelectrolyte water electrolysis is a system that electrolyzes water using expensive noble metal catalysts [anode: IrO x , cathode: Pt/C].
종래에 귀금속 촉매의 제조는 Adam's Fusion 방법을 주로 사용하였으며, 일반 열처리 도가니에서 열처리하여 합성했기 때문에 입자의 크기가 크고 비표면적이 50 m2 이하였다. 또한, 안정한 촉매 담지체가 많지 않아 촉매의 비율을 70% 이하로 낮추기가 어렵고, 대부분의 상용 수전해에는 담지체가 사용되고 있지 못하며, 이로 인해 귀금속 촉매의 사용량이 2~4 mg/cm2 수준이다. 이에, 촉매의 사용량을 줄이기 위해서는 담지체와 고효율 촉매 개발이 필요한 실정이다.Conventionally, Adam's Fusion method was mainly used for the production of noble metal catalysts, and since they were synthesized by heat treatment in a general heat treatment crucible, the particle size was large and the specific surface area was 50 m 2 or less. In addition, since there are not many stable catalyst supports, it is difficult to lower the catalyst ratio to 70% or less, and the support is not used in most commercial water electrolysis. Accordingly, in order to reduce the amount of catalyst used, it is necessary to develop a support and a high-efficiency catalyst.
고분자 전해질 수전해는 알칼리 수전해보다 전류밀도가 5 내지 10배 정도 높은 장점이 있으나, 고가의 촉매 사용으로 인해 초기 비용이 50% 정도 더 높고, 시스템 단가가 높아 상용화가 어려운 단점이 있다. 특히, 양극에는 4 mg/cm2 정도의 많은 촉매 사용량을 필요로 하는 바, 이를 줄여야 경제성을 확보할 수 있다. 또한, 고분자 전해질 수전해의 양극은 높은 산성 조건과 높은 전압으로 인해 적절한 지지체 확보가 어려운 단점이 있다. 이에, 고분자 전해질 수전해에 적절한 지지체의 사용은 귀금속 촉매의 사용량을 감소시킬 수 있으며, 소재의 단가를 낮추어야 고분자 전해질 수전해의 상업화가 가능하다. Polyelectrolyte water electrolysis has the advantage that the current density is 5 to 10 times higher than that of alkaline water electrolysis, but the initial cost is 50% higher due to the use of an expensive catalyst, and the system cost is high, making it difficult to commercialize. In particular, the positive electrode requires a large amount of catalyst of about 4 mg/cm 2 , and economic efficiency can be secured only by reducing this amount. In addition, the positive electrode of the polymer electrolyte water electrolysis has a disadvantage in that it is difficult to secure an appropriate support due to high acidic conditions and high voltage. Accordingly, the use of a support suitable for water electrolysis of a polymer electrolyte can reduce the amount of a noble metal catalyst, and the commercialization of water electrolysis of a polymer electrolyte is possible only by lowering the cost of the material.
따라서 귀금속 촉매의 사용량을 줄여 수전해 단위전지의 효율을 높일 수 있는 귀금속 촉매 및 지지체의 제조 및 이의 제조방법에 대한 연구가 필요한 실정이다.Therefore, there is a need for research on the preparation of a noble metal catalyst and a support capable of increasing the efficiency of a water electrolysis unit cell by reducing the amount of the noble metal catalyst, and a method for preparing the same.
본 발명은 기존의 고분자전해질 수전해 시스템과 비교하여 귀금속 사용량을 줄인 고분자전해질 수전해용 촉매를 제조하는 방법을 제공하는 것을 목적으로 한다.An object of the present invention is to provide a method for preparing a catalyst for polyelectrolyte water electrolysis, which reduces the amount of precious metal used compared to the existing polyelectrolyte water electrolysis system.
상기 목적을 달성하기 위하여, 본 발명의 고분자전해질 수전해용 촉매는 초음파 분무 열분해 방법을 이용하여 고효율 이리듐-루테늄 산화물(IrRuO4)를 제조하였다. 또한, IrRuOx 촉매와 안티몬주석산화물(Antimony doped Tin Oxide; ATO) 지지체를 일정 질량비율로 혼합 후 볼밀을 이용하여 혼합하여 고효율 IrRuOx/ATO 촉매를 제조하였으며, 이를 통해 귀금속 사용량을 줄이고자 하였다.In order to achieve the above object, a high-efficiency iridium-ruthenium oxide (IrRuO 4 ) was prepared using the ultrasonic spray pyrolysis method for the water electrolysis catalyst of the present invention. In addition, a high-efficiency IrRuOx/ATO catalyst was prepared by mixing an IrRuOx catalyst and an antimony doped tin oxide (ATO) support at a certain mass ratio and then mixing using a ball mill, thereby reducing the amount of precious metal used.
본 발명에서는 초음파 분무 열분해법을 이용하여 수전해 촉매를 제조하였으며, 초음파 발생기를 이용하여 분무 입자의 크기를 줄여(기존 25 μm -> 5 μm) 촉매의 크기를 감소시켰다.In the present invention, a water electrolysis catalyst was prepared using ultrasonic spray pyrolysis, and the size of the atomized particles was reduced using an ultrasonic generator (existing 25 μm -> 5 μm) to reduce the size of the catalyst.
또한, 본 발명은 전도성 산화물 지지체인 안티몬주석산화물(antimony doped tin oxide; ATO)에 IrRuOx(iridium Ruthenium oxide) 촉매를 담지하여 귀금속 촉매의 사용량을 줄이고도 높은 전류밀도의 단위전지 성능을 얻을 수 있다.In addition, according to the present invention, an iridium ruthenium oxide (IrRuOx) catalyst is supported on antimony doped tin oxide (ATO), which is a conductive oxide support, thereby reducing the amount of noble metal catalyst used, and high current density unit cell performance can be obtained.
또한, 본 발명의 고효율 고분자 전해질 수전해용 촉매는 귀금속 촉매의 사용량을 감소시켜 단위 전지의 효율을 높일 수 있어 경제적이다.In addition, the high-efficiency polymer electrolyte water electrolysis catalyst of the present invention is economical because it is possible to increase the efficiency of the unit cell by reducing the amount of the noble metal catalyst.

상기와 같이 초음파 분무 열분해법으로 생성된 다공성 이리듐-루테늄 산화물(IrRuOx)의 평균 기공 크기는 1 내지 5nm 이며, BET 표면적은 200 내지 300 m2/g 일 수 있다.The average pore size of the porous iridium-ruthenium oxide (IrRuO x ) produced by the ultrasonic spray pyrolysis method as described above is 1 to 5 nm, and the BET surface area may be 200 to 300 m 2 /g.
또한, 상기 촉매를 제조하는 단계는 다공성 이리듐-루테늄 산화물(IrRuOx) 촉매 및 안티주석산화물(antimony doped tin oxide) 지지체를 7~3:3~7 또는 7~5:3~5의 질량비율로 유성형 볼밀을 이용하여 혼합할 수 있다.In addition, the step of preparing the catalyst is a porous iridium-ruthenium oxide (IrRuO x ) catalyst and an antimony doped tin oxide support in a mass ratio of 7 to 3:3 to 7 or 7 to 5:3 to 5. It can be mixed using a planetary ball mill.
구체적으로, 상기 촉매를 제조하는 단계는 다공성 이리듐-루테늄 산화물(IrRuOx) 촉매와 안티주석산화물(antimony doped tin oxide) 지지체를 유성형 볼밀을 이용하여 200 내지 700 rpm 조건에서 2시간 내지 8시간 동안 혼합하여 수행할 수 있다.Specifically, the step of preparing the catalyst includes mixing a porous iridium-ruthenium oxide (IrRuO x ) catalyst and an antimony doped tin oxide support using a planetary ball mill at 200 to 700 rpm conditions for 2 to 8 hours. can be done by

상기 초음파 분무 열분해법으로 형성된 이리듐-루테늄 산화물(IrRuOx)은 열처리에 의해 다공성 구조를 가지게 되어 표면적이 증가됨으로써 산소 발생 활성을 더욱 증가시킬 수 있으며, 상기 안티주석산화물(antimony doped tin oxide) 지지체를 사용할 경우, 상기 다공성 이리듐-루테늄 산화물(IrRuOx)끼리 뭉치는 현상을 방지할 수 있고 전도도를 증가시킬 수 있어, 상기 안티주석산화물(antimony doped tin oxide) 지지체를 사용하지 않을 경우에 비해 수전해용 단위전지의 성능 및 효율이 더 뛰어날 수 있다.The iridium-ruthenium oxide (IrRuO x ) formed by the ultrasonic spray pyrolysis method has a porous structure by heat treatment, so that the surface area is increased to further increase the oxygen generating activity, and the antimony doped tin oxide support When used, the porous iridium-ruthenium oxide (IrRuO x ) can prevent aggregation and increase the conductivity, so that the antimony doped tin oxide support is not used as a unit for water electrolysis.

Even though it was reduced to 0.36 mg/cm 2 , it was possible to obtain unit cell performance with high current density.
