Problems solved by technology

There are commercial Ag / C catalysts in the field of alkaline fuel cells, but their oxygen reduction overpotential is 50-100mv higher than that of Pt / C (J.Electrochem.Soc.152(2005)D117), although the research on Ag / C catalysts has achieved Great progress has been made, but the preparation of Ag / C catalysts with a particle size of less than 20nm and uniform dispersion is mostly carried out in the organic phase, and PVP (Chem.Mater.14 (2002) 4736), sodium citrate (J.Phys .Chem.C114 (2010) 4324) and other organic long-chain molecules are used as protective agents. These long-chain molecules cover the surface of Ag / C catalysts, greatly reducing their oxygen reduction activity (J.Power Sources196(2011) 3033)
[0004] Literature (Electrochem.Commun.28(2013) 100) adopts NaBH 4 As a reducing agent, a 60% Ag / RGO catalyst was prepared by reacting at 5 °C for 12 h. Although the prepared catalyst was only 12 nm, it had the disadvantages of large Ag loading, high cost, high energy consumption, and long reaction time. Poor quality, not suitable for ORR catalyst
Chinese patent CN102581297 discloses a method for the controllable green synthesis of metal nanomaterials based on graphene oxide. Neutral graphite oxide and silver nitrate are mixed and reacted for a long time at room temperature to prepare Ag / GO composite materials. The preparation time of this method is long , and the prepared material is not suitable for fuel cell catalysts due to the poor conductivity and mass transfer of GO

Abstract

The invention discloses an Ag / GO / C catalyst. Ag content of the Ag / GO / C catalyst is in a range of 5-90% by mass, and GO (graphite oxide) content of the Ag / GO / C catalyst is in a range of 5-90% by mass. The Ag / GO / C catalyst has high oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) catalytic activity under the alkaline conditions. The preparation method adopts a heating backflow technology, is simple and easy, can be implemented by one step, is conducive to catalyst large-scale production, is free of a process for producing RGO by high-temperature reduction or from large-toxicity hydrazine hydrate, greatly saves resources and energy, is safe, has no pollution and is conducive to environmental protection. The Ag / GO / C catalyst can be used as a metal-air fuel cell oxygen-reduction catalyst, an alkaline anion-exchange membrane fuel cell oxygen-reduction catalyst and other oxygen-reduction catalysts under alkaline conditions.
