The invention relates to a bio-based carbon
microsphere material, a preparation method and applications thereof, wherein the catalyst adopts
biomass chitosan and
gallic acid as raw materials. The preparation method comprises: 1) weighing
chitosan and
gallic acid according to a certain ratio, adding into a reaction kettle having a
polytetrafluoroethylene liner, carrying out a reaction for 24-48 h at a temperature of 160-220 DEG C, cooling to a
room temperature after completing the reaction, separating and
drying the obtained black product to obtain a
biomass non-
metal catalyst material, washing, and
drying to obtain the
nitrogen-
doped carbon material capable of catalyzing ORR, wherein the material has characteristics of
high nitrogen content, rich active sites, suitable surface area and suitable pore volume, can be used as the catalyst in the
oxygen reduction catalytic reaction of
fuel cells, and can enhance the storage ability of
lithium battery electrodes. According to the present invention, the preparation method is simple, the raw materials are the
biomass with rich source, the cost is low, the method is
environmentally friendly, and the obtained catalyst has excellent performance, and is the promising fuel
cell catalyst and the
lithium ion battery electrode material.
