摘要:

规模化生产低成本和高效率的氧还原电催化剂在当今仍然是严峻的挑战。本文以三聚氰胺、三聚硫氰酸和硝酸钴作为原料,通过两步热解合成了一种新的氮、硫共掺杂的碳负载的钴@碳化钴(标记为MTC-0.1-900)氧还原催化剂。利用扫描电子显微镜、透射电子显微镜、X射线衍射、拉曼光谱、比表面分析和X射线光电子能谱分析对该催化剂进行了表征,并采用循环伏安和线性扫描伏安曲线等方法测试其在0.1 mol·L-1KOH中的氧还原性能。结果显示,与商业Pt/C催化剂相比,MTC-0.1-900的起始电位和半波电位分别高出了29和5 mV。在-0.3 V(vs Ag/AgCl)电位下工作12000 s后,MTC-0.1-900催化剂的电流可达到起始电流的97.1%,高于Pt/C催化剂的76.7%,显示出该催化剂具有更稳定的性能。抗甲醇实验表明,MTC-0.1-900的对氧还原的选择性也要优于Pt/C。该催化剂优良的性能为金属空气电池阴极材料提供了一种减少或者取代Pt的新选择。

Abstract:

Development of high-efficiency and low-cost electrocatalysts for large-scale oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) remains a challenge. In this study, we employed melamine, trithiocyanuric acid, and cobaltous nitrate to fabricate a novel ORR electrocatalyst with cobalt and cobalt carbide supported on carbon co-doped with nitrogen and sulfur (hereafter referred to as MTC-0.1-900) by two-step pyrolysis. The MTC-0.1-900 was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) specific surface area analysis, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The electrochemical performance for ORR was investigated by cyclic voltammetry and linear sweep voltammetry in 0.1 mol·L-1 KOH solutions. The results showed that the onset potential and half-wave potential of MTC-0.1-900 were 29 and 5 mV superior to the commercial Pt/C catalyst, respectively. After 12000 s operation at the potential of -0.3 V (vs Ag/AgCl), the current retention capacities of MTC-0.1-900 and Pt/C were 97.1% and 76.7%, respectively. MTC-0.1-900 also showed better methanol tolerance than Pt/C. These unique properties of MTC-0.1-900 provide us with an alternative for replacing or reducing the use of Pt catalyst in metal-air battery cathode materials.
