Problems solved by technology

The German Journal of Applied Chemistry (2015) disclosed that a catalyst with certain catalytic activity for oxygen reduction and oxygen evolution reactions can be obtained by loading Ni, Co and its oxides on carbon nanotubes. The catalyst material uses carbon nanotubes. The cost of tube raw materials is high, it is difficult to apply on a large scale at the current stage, and its preparation method is cumbersome, especially when Ni and Co simple substances and their oxides are loaded on the surface of carbon nanotubes, their stability is relatively poor, and it is difficult to meet the application requirements.

Abstract

The invention discloses a bi-functional catalyst for an alkaline water system metal / air battery and a preparation method thereof. The catalyst is a core-shell structure material formed by coating transition metal simple substance particles by nitrogen doped carbon; the preparation process is: taking transition metal salt and urea as raw materials, obtaining precursors of transition metal simple substance particles through a hydrothermal method, coating nitrogen contained polymers on the surfaces of the precursors through in situ polymerization, and carrying out high-heat treatment to obtain the catalyst. The catalyst is good in stability, has bi-functional catalytic activity (ORR and OER) and has high catalytic activity in alkaline environment; the preparation technology is strong in controllability and easy in repetition and satisfies the industrial production demand.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an oxygen reduction and oxygen evolution catalyst for an alkaline water-based metal / air battery and a preparation method thereof, belonging to the fields of chemical power sources and electrochemical catalysis. Background technique [0002] As a metal fuel cell, alkaline aqueous metal / air battery has the advantages of high specific energy, low cost, environmental friendliness, and mechanical replacement (rapid charging of the metal / air battery can be achieved by replacing the fully discharged metal anode). , has attracted the attention of domestic and foreign scientific research workers in recent years. The alkaline aqueous metal / air battery consists of three parts: a metal anode, an alkaline electrolyte, and an air cathode. During battery discharge, metal dissolution occurs at the metal anode and oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) occurs at the air cathode. The ORR process is relatively complicated. It is generally believed tha...
