Embodiment 1

[0027] MnO 2 -Mn 3 o 4 The preparation of carbon nanotubes is divided into two steps, as follows:

[0028] (1) Preparation of oxidized carbon nanotubes

[0029] Oxidized carbon nanotubes were synthesized by the modified Hummers method. Weigh 1 g of multi-walled carbon nanotubes and place them in a 250 mL round bottom flask, slowly add 23 mL of concentrated sulfuric acid, and stir for 24 h. Transfer the round bottom flask to a 35 °C water bath and add 0.2 g NaNO 3 And keep stirring. Wait for NaNO 3 After dissolving, add 1g KMnO very slowly 4 , to be KMnO 4 After the addition was complete, the stirring was continued for another 120 min. Slowly add 46mL deionized water, transfer to a 98°C water bath and heat for 30min, remove and cool to room temperature with constant stirring, add 140mL deionized water and 10mL 30% hydrogen peroxide in sequence and stir for 5min. The oxidized carbon nanotubes in the suspension are collected by centrifugation. During the centrifugation ...

Embodiment 2

[0036] According to the method of embodiment 1, in MnO 2 -Mn 3 o 4 In the preparation of carbon nanotubes, 25 mg of oxidized carbon nanotubes were added.

[0037] The evaluation method of catalytic performance is the same as in Example 1.

[0038] The resulting MnO 2 -Mn 3 o 4 / Carbon nanotube composite as an ORR catalyst has an initial potential of -0.09V (vs.Hg / HgO), a half-wave potential of -0.22V (vs.Hg / HgO), and a limiting current density of -5.6mA / cm 2 . In the current meter evaluation, after 7200s of continuous operation, the current density retention rate is about 90%.

Abstract

The invention discloses a high-performance oxygen reduction MnO2-Mn3O4 / carbon nanotube composite catalyst and a preparation and an application thereof. The composite catalyst is prepared by embedding MnO2 nanorods and Mn3O4 nanoparticles into meshes of a carbon nanotube network and / or depositing the MnO2 nanorods and the Mn3O4 nanoparticles on the surface of a carbon nanotube. The preparation method comprises the steps of: dissolving or dispersing potassium permanganate, ammonium chloride and oxidized carbon nanotube into water for hydrothermal reaction; and carrying out cooling, suction filtration, washing and drying on the hydrothermal reaction product to obtain the high-performance oxygen reduction MnO2-Mn3O4 / carbon nanotube composite catalyst. The preparation method is simple and beneficial to industrial production; and the prepared MnO2-Mn3O4 / carbon nanotube composite catalyst is applied to a fuel cell, has the characteristics of high activity and good stability, has approximate overall performance in comparison with a 20wt%Pt / C commercial catalyst and has a good application prospect.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an oxygen reduction (ORR) catalyst and its preparation and application method, in particular to a high-performance oxygen reduction MnO for fuel cells 2 -Mn 3 o 4 The invention discloses a carbon nanotube composite catalyst and a preparation method thereof, belonging to the technical field of electrocatalysis. Background technique [0002] Due to the excessive use of traditional fossil energy, human beings are facing more and more serious energy shortages and environmental pollution crises, and it is imminent to develop green and safe new energy sources. As an environment-friendly and efficient energy conversion device, fuel cells have attracted more and more researchers' attention. Pt and its alloys are currently commercialized ORR catalysts for fuel cells. Although they have high activity, the high price and unsatisfactory stability limit the wide commercial application of fuel cells. Therefore, the key to the wide applic...
