Abstract

The invention belongs to the field of fuel-cell catalysts, and relates to a three-dimensional porous Fe-N-C catalyst based on cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide as a carbon material pore-forming agent and a preparation method. The three-dimensional porous Fe-N-C electrocatalyst is obtained through high-temperature calcination of o-toluidine as a C source and an N source, FeCl3.6H2O as a metal source, CTAB as a soft template and SiO2 as a hard template under an N2 atmosphere. In the preparation process, the size and the shape of a micelle can be accurately controlled through changing the concentration of the CTAB, a three-dimensional interconnected porous structure with a lot of active sites exposed on the surface can be finally formed after the templates are removed due to CTAB micelle decomposition after high-temperature calcination, the quantity of the active sites for catalytic oxygen reduction reaction is ensured, the mass transfer requirements can be met and improvement of the ORR activity of the catalyst is facilitated. Compared with a traditional Fe-N-C electrocatalyst, the three-dimensional porous Fe-N-C catalyst has the advantages that the three-dimensional porous structure of the catalyst is more beneficial to oxygen transfer and adsorption, the preparation process is flexible and controllable, the raw materials are cheap and available, massive production is facilitated and the three-dimensional porous Fe-N-C catalyst has relatively high practical value.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of fuel cell catalysts, and relates to a method for preparing an electrocatalyst for oxygen reduction reaction at the cathode of a fuel cell, in particular to a three-dimensional porous material Fe-N-C electrocatalyst and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] Fuel cells have attracted extensive attention from researchers due to their high energy conversion efficiency, environmental friendliness, abundant and easy-to-obtain fuels, and not being limited by the Carnot cycle. However, the current application of fuel cells still faces severe challenges, especially the slow kinetics of the cathode oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), which greatly limits the commercial application of fuel cells. At present, the catalyst with the best catalytic ORR performance is Pt-based catalysts, but Pt reserves are small, expensive, poor in stability and insufficient in methanol resistance. Therefore, it is necessary to...
