Problems solved by technology

At present, the development of aluminum-metal-air batteries is mainly limited by the oxygen reduction reaction of its cathode air. The oxygen reduction reaction is a process with slow kinetics. At present, the catalysts that are more commercially dependent are platinum-based catalysts, but metal platinum resources are in short supply. It is expensive, so it is one of the problems to be solved urgently to develop an efficient and cheap non-platinum oxygen reduction catalyst
[0003] In recent years, the non-platinum catalysts that have been widely studied are metal nitrogen carbon catalysts. [1-3] , the oxygen reduction active sites of metal nitrogen carbon materials are Me-N groups embedded in carbon, nitrogen-doped carbon-coated metal groups, nitrogen-doped carbon groups, etc. [4] , although the metal nitrogen carbon catalyst has excellent oxygen reduction performance, the study found that the stability of the metal nitrogen carbon material is poor. During the working process, the active substance will continue to dissolve and generate H 2 o 2 , damage battery materials and devices

Abstract

The invention discloses a Cu2O / N-C oxygen reduction catalyst and preparation and application thereof. The preparation method of the catalyst comprises the steps that a certain amount of zinc salt anda carbon source are dissolved in an organic solvent, a copper source is added, the Cu2O / N-C oxygen reduction catalyst is obtained through pyrolysis, and the amount of generated cuprous oxide is regulated and controlled by adjusting the amount of the added copper source in an experiment. The method is simple and high in repeatability. The catalyst is a composite material of cuprous oxide and nitrogen-doped carbon, the cuprous oxide is an active site for oxygen reduction catalysis, and the nitrogen-doped carbon can improve the conductivity of the material, so that the material has relatively high current density. The prepared optimal material is used as an oxygen reduction catalyst of an aluminum-air battery, the oxygen reduction half-wave potential is 0.8V, and the limiting current densityis 4.6mA / cm<2>.
