Embodiment 1

[0041] In this embodiment, the method for preparing a monoatomic cluster Fe-N co-doped single-walled carbon nanotube electrocatalytic thin film electrode comprises the following steps:

[0042] 1. If figure 2 As shown, a high-purity single-walled carbon nanotube film was prepared by floating catalyst chemical vapor deposition, and a single-walled carbon nanotube film with a thickness of 250 microns and a G / D ratio of 120 was obtained by adjusting the collection time; It can be seen that the single-walled carbon nanotubes are mainly intertwined in the form of tube bundles to form a self-supporting carbon nanotube film, and a large number of microporous structures are formed between the intertwined tube bundles, which is beneficial to the material transport during the reaction process. From the transmission electron microscope photos, it can be seen that the Fe nanoparticle catalyst used to grow carbon nanotubes is covered by carbon layers and embedded in the tube bundles. The...

Abstract

The invention relates to the field of fuel cell cathode oxygen reduction reaction catalysis, in particular to a method for preparing a monoatomic cluster Fe-N co-doped single-walled carbon nanotube electro-catalytic membrane electrode. The preparation method comprises the following steps: firstly, carrying out fluorination and ammoniation treatment on a high-performance single-walled carbon nanotube film; in the ammoniation process, unstable doped fluorine atoms volatilize, vacancies are left, nitrogen atom doping and chelation with Fe atoms in Fe particles for catalytic growth of the single-walled carbon nanotubes are promoted, and high-concentration single-atom cluster Fe-N chelation active sites are formed. The prepared Fe-N co-doped self-supporting single-walled carbon nanotube film isused as a catalyst layer, a foamed nickel current collector is used as a positive electrode, a zinc metal plate is used as a negative electrode, and carbon cloth is used as a gas diffusion layer to prepare the zinc-air battery, and the zinc-air battery shows excellent performance. According to the invention, no liquid phase reaction is carried out, the process is simple, the advantages of flexibility, self-support and the like of the carbon nanotube film are maintained, and the constructed electro-catalytic film electrode has excellent catalytic activity and stability.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of energy storage and conversion devices such as fuel cells and zinc-air batteries, and specifically relates to a method for preparing single-atom cluster Fe-N co-doped single-wall carbon nanotube electrocatalytic thin film electrodes, and a zinc-air battery assembled therefrom It has excellent charge and discharge performance and stability. Background technique [0002] With the depletion of fossil energy and the increasingly serious environmental pollution, the development of new energy devices (such as: metal-air battery Zn-Air, fuel cells, etc.) has received more and more attention. At present, lithium-ion batteries are the most widely used secondary batteries, but due to their theoretical energy density (400Wh kg -1 ) and actual energy density (200~250Wh kg -1 ) is low, which limits its application in high energy density devices such as electric vehicles. In contrast, metal-air batteries have higher energy den...
