Problems solved by technology

The patented mixture of ferric citrate and cyanamide is added to the alkaline phenolic resin sol, which is very easy to form iron hydroxide precipitation, which in turn leads to uneven distribution of iron and the formation of large iron particles, which catalyzes the acidic half wave of the oxygen reduction reaction. Potential less than 0.780V vs RHE, lower electrocatalytic activity
Pickling not only destroys some reactive sites, but also increases the complexity of the process
It has been reported that cracking resin aerogels to prepare metal-nitrogen-doped carbon aerogel materials mostly obtains metal nanoparticles, which do not have single-atom active sites, and the metal utilization rate is not high, and the active site distribution is low. Inhomogeneous and therefore less active, oxygen reduction half-wave potential below 0.700V vs RHE under acidic conditions and below 0.85V vs RHE under alkaline conditions

Embodiment 2

[0065] The single-atom cobalt-nitrogen-doped carbon airgel electrocatalyst prepared in Example 2 has a very high catalytic oxygen evolution reaction activity, in 0.1mol / L potassium hydroxide solution, 10mA / cm 2 The corresponding potential is 1.635V vs RHE, and the half-wave potential difference with the oxygen reduction reaction is 0.710V. Figure 4 It is a spherical aberration transmission electron microscope photo of Example 2. The scale at the bottom of the electron microscope shows 2nm. The bright spot in the figure is the cobalt active site. The scale of the cobalt active site is much smaller than 1nm. It can be seen that it has an active catalytic site on a single-atom scale, and the utilization efficiency of cobalt is very high.

Abstract

The invention discloses a preparation method of a monatomic metal-nitrogen doped carbon aerogel electrocatalyst, and aims to meet the urgent demand of the field of electrocatalysis on large-scale preparation of a low-cost and high-activity monatomic electrocatalyst. According to the technical scheme, the preparation method comprises the following steps: firstly, preparing an organic solution or sol A from aldehyde organic matters containing aldehyde groups, polyhydroxy benzene compounds or polyamino benzene compounds; preparing a metal complex solution or sol B from an inorganic metal salt and an organic matter which can generate a complex with the inorganic metal salt or can catalyze metal salt ions to form metal cation sol; mixing and heating A and B to obtain metal-doped organic matter gel C; removing liquid in the C to obtain metal-doped organic matter aerogel; and cracking the metal doped organic matter aerogel to obtain the monatomic metal-nitrogen doped carbon aerogel electrocatalyst. The acid pickling step is avoided, active sites are generated in one step in situ in the cracking process, the method is simple and low in cost, and the electrocatalyst prepared through the method is very high in catalytic activity.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical fields of carbon materials and electrochemistry, in particular to a method for preparing a single-atom metal-nitrogen-doped carbon airgel electrocatalyst. Background technique [0002] An electrocatalyst is a substance that changes the chemical reaction rate in an electrochemical reaction without changing the chemical balance, and its quality and chemical properties do not change before and after the chemical reaction. The operation of many energy storage and conversion devices is inseparable from the corresponding electrocatalysts. The cathodes of hydrogen fuel cells, methanol fuel cells, and metal-air batteries require electrocatalysts that catalyze the slow oxygen reduction reaction faster. The anode of the metal-air battery needs an electrocatalyst that catalyzes the reaction of water evolution to oxygen. Carbon dioxide electrolysis cells require carbon dioxide electroreduction electrocatalysts to reduce car...
