Nafion聚离子修饰钠米Pt的合成及其影响因素

采用化学还原的方法成功地合成了Nafion聚离子修饰的纳米Pt颗粒,平均粒径为～4 nm;由于表面缺电子的特性,纳米Pt粒子与Nafion高分子长链上的-SO-3基团有较强的结合,使粒子随-SO-3的存在状态而分散,在水溶液中呈现与离子团簇相似的分散状态.FTIR显示Pt颗粒存在表面原子暴露在修饰离子之外,因此,这种粒子在具有功能结构的催化领域有着很好的应用前景;合成过程中反应速率随Nafion含量的降低、pH的增加而增大.     

阳离子修饰纳米Pt的合成及其在Nafion膜上的自组装行为研究

以季铵阳离子聚合物为修饰离子、乙醇为还原剂,在水溶液中合成了具有稳定电位的阳离子修饰纳米Pt颗粒,还原过程采用UV-vis光谱监控,粒子形貌采用TEM表征.结果表明,合成体系在45 min左右还原完毕,颗粒粒径约为4.5 nm,呈多晶态结构,粒径分布狭窄,具有良好的分散性.采用Zeta电位测定仪分析了不同pH条件下粒子的电位,选择了合适的组装pH值并运用静电自组装的方法把Pt颗粒成功地组装到Nafion膜表面.同时对该自组装体系的影响因素进行了一些理论分析,并以此对组装过程的动力学性质和组装膜电化学特性进行了解释.     

Pt负载复合氧化物催化剂的CO催化发光性能

修饰离子聚合度对膜-颗粒体系静电自组装的影响

采用不同聚合度的季铵阳离子聚合物作为修饰离子,对纳米Pt颗粒的合成及其在全氟磺酸膜(Ｎａｆｉｏｎ)上的静电自组装行为进行了研究,结合Ｎａｆｉｏｎ膜电导率的变化对膜-颗粒自组装机理进行了分析。结果表明:自组装过程中Ｎａｆｉｏｎ膜电导率的下降总是比Pt组装量的上升先达到平衡,表明膜-颗粒体系(MPS)的静电自组装是一个先由大量的小阳离子占据空位,然后由离子修饰的大颗粒(纳米Pt)取代的过程；改变修饰离子的聚合度同时会引起组装液中游离修饰离子的数目的变化,从而对电导率的衰减速度和组装第二阶段的脱附-组装平衡造成影响,因此随着修饰离子聚合度的增加,导电率达到平衡的时间增加,组装量达到平衡的时间减少。     

“非保护型”金属胶体纳米簇形成机理研究

碱-乙二醇法制备的"非保护型"金属及合金纳米簇由表面吸附的溶剂分子和简单离子实现稳定化,它们被广泛用于制备高性能复相催化剂和研究复相催化剂中的尺寸、组成、载体表面基团以及修饰剂对催化性能的影响。关于此类非保护金属纳米簇的形成过程及机理的认识尚有待进一步深化。本文采用原位快速扫描X射线吸收精细结构谱(QXAFS)、原位紫外-可见(UV-Vis)吸收光谱、透射电子显微镜和动态光散射技术研究了碱-乙二醇法合成中非保护型金属胶体纳米簇的形成过程与机理。结果表明,在碱-乙二醇法合成非保护型Pt金属纳米簇的过程中,室温下即有部分Pt(IV)被还原至Pt(II)。随着反应温度的升高,OH-逐渐取代与Pt离子配位的Cl-,在Pt―Pt键形成之前,反应体系的UV-Vis吸收光谱中可观察到明显的纳米粒子的散射信号,原位QXAFS分析表明Pt纳米簇是由Pt氧化物纳米粒子还原所形成的;在Ru金属纳米簇的形成过程中,OH-首先取代了Ru Cl_3中的Cl~-,形成羟基配合物Ru(OH) _6~(3-),后者进一步缩合形成氧化钌纳米粒子,最终Ru金属纳米簇由乙二醇还原氧化钌纳米粒子形成。由于先形成了氧化物纳米粒子,后续的还原反应被限制在氧化物纳米粒子内,使最终得到的非保护型金属纳米簇具有尺寸小、分布窄的特点。本工作所获得的知识对发展高性能能源转化催化剂、精细化学合成催化剂、传感器等功能体系具有重要意义。

Enhanced local density of states at the Fermi level of the surface platinum in carbon-supported platinum particles by Nafion ionomer

¹⁹⁵Pt nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) was employed to study the influence of Nafion ionomers (NIs), a common ingredient used as a proton conducting mediator and binder in a membrane-electrode-assembly (MEA) for proton exchange membrane fuel cells, on the local density of states at the Fermi surface (E_F-LDOS) of Pt/C catalysts. NIs were observed to increase the surface E_F-LDOS of Pt particles, thereby altering of the catalytic properties of metal particles. This correlates well with the reduction of fuel oxidation rates. Thus, ionomers decreasing the surface E_F-LDOS of Pt particles would be desirable. In addition, a new concept to interpret the surface E_F-LDOS was introduced and validated.     

In situ formation of platinum nanoparticles in Nafion recast film for catalyst-incorporated ion-exchange membrane in fuel cell applications

Platinum (Pt) nanoparticles were synthesized inside a Nafion polyelectrolyte membrane for use as a catalyst membrane integrated layer in fuel cells. The integrated membrane was prepared by making use of the cation exchange between the tetraammineplatinum (II) cations ([Pt(NH₃)₄]²⁺) and sulfonic groups in the Nafion molecules, followed by film casting and chemical reduction. The synthesized Pt nanoparticles, which had a cubic shape with diameters of 11.5–14.5 nm, dispersed in the recast Nafion film, increased its proton conductivity and open circuit voltage compared with the pristine Nafion membrane. The Pt-incorporated membrane provided a 29% increment of the maximum power density, seemingly by oxidizing the crossover methanol passing through the proton-exchange membrane. At a high loading of Pt (over 3 wt.% in this study), the Nafion clusters were likely squeezed by the synthesized Pt nanoparticles so as to decrease the water uptake and proton conductivity. This hypothesis was also supported by the increased Ohmic resistance in the I–V polarization curve.     

Tuned polymer electrolyte membranes based on aromatic polyethers for fuel cell applications

Poly(arylene ether sulfone)-based ionomers containing sulfofluorenyl groups have been synthesized for applications to polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs). In order to achieve high proton conductivity and chemical, mechanical, and dimensional stability, the molecular structure of the ionomers has been optimized. Tough, flexible, and transparent membranes were obtained from a series of modified ionomers containing methyl groups with the ion-exchange capacity (IEC) ranging from 1.32 to 3.26 meq/g. Isopropylidene tetramethylbiphenylene moieties were more effective than the methyl-substituted fluorenyl groups in giving a high-IEC ionomer membrane with substantial stability to hydrolysis and oxidation. Dimensional stability was significantly improved for the methyl-substituted ionomer membranes compared to that of the non-methylated ones. This new ionomer membrane showed comparable proton conductivity to that of the perfluorinated ionomer membrane (Nafion 112) under a wide range of conditions (80-120 degrees C and 20-93% relative humidity (RH)). The highest proton conductivity of 0.3 S/cm was obtained at 80 degrees C and 93% RH. Although there is a decline of proton conductivity with time, after 10 000 h the proton conductivities were still at acceptable levels for fuel cell operation. The membranes retained their strength, flexibility, and high molecular weight after 10 000 h. Microscopic analyses revealed well-connected ionic clusters for the high-IEC membrane. A fuel cell operated using the polyether ionomer membrane showed better performance than that of Nafion at a low humidity of 20% RH and high temperature of 90 degrees C. Unlike the other hydrocarbon ionomers, the present membrane showed a lower resistance than expected from its conductivity, indicating superior water-holding capability at high temperature and low humidity.     

分散溶剂对PEMFC催化层中超薄Nafion离聚物质子传导的影响

质子交换膜燃料电池(PEMFC)商业化应用的瓶颈仍然是贵金属催化剂导致的成本问题。然而,目前对于催化层中纳米尺度全氟磺酸离聚物(以Nafion为代表)薄膜中质子传导的问题研究不足,无法完善三相界面的成型规律,进而指导催化层设计。在催化层浆料制备过程中,分散溶剂对Nafion的分散形态有直接影响,可能对催化层成型后附着在催化剂颗粒表面Nafion薄膜的微观结构有潜在影响,进而影响Nafion薄膜的质子传导能力。因此,在本文中利用分子自组装技术模拟催化层离聚物薄膜的聚集过程,于模型基底上制备厚度精确可控的纳米尺度Nafion薄膜,并通过微观测试表征技术探索并建立纳米尺度Nafion离聚物的微观结构模型,阐明分散溶剂对Nafion薄膜微观结构及质子传导的影响。研究发现Nafion薄膜在纳米尺度下的质子电导率比体相膜的质子电导率低一个数量级,使用介电常数较小的醇类溶剂可以使Nafion薄膜形成更有利于质子传导的微观结构,使Nafion薄膜的质子电导率得到提高。相关研究结果为优化PEMFC催化层结构,改善PEMFC催化层中质子传导问题提供给了依据。     

Exfoliated Pt-clay/Nafion nanocomposite membrane for self-humidifying polymer electrolyte fuel cells

Monolayers of Pt nanoparticles of diameters of 2-3 nm with a high crystallinity were successfully anchored onto exfoliated nanoclay surfaces using a novel chemical vapor deposition process. Chemical bonding of Pt to the oxygen on the clay surface ensured the stability of the Pt nanoparticles, and hence, no leaching of Pt particles was observed after a prolonged ultrasonication and a rigorous mechanical agitation of Pt-clay in the Nafion solution during the membrane casting process. Systematic analysis using WAXD and TEM showed that the recasting process produced a new self-humidifying exfoliated Pt-clay/Nafion nanocomposite membrane with a high crystallinity and proton conductivity. In situ water production for humidification of the dry membranes without any external humidification was characterized by a combined water uptake and FTIR analysis of the as-prepared membrane after a single cell testing without using electrodes. The power density at 0.5 V of a single cell made of a Pt-clay/Nafion nanocomposite membrane was 723 mW/cm2, which is 170% higher than that made of a commercial Nafion 112 membrane of similar thickness. No compromise in mechanical properties was observed.

Preparation and Properties of Composite Polypyrrole/Pt Catalyst Systems

Three different methods for the preparation and modification of conducting polymer/noble metal catalyst systems consisting of polypyrrole (PPy) and platinum (Pt) are described for the anodic oxidation of methanol. The first method consists of the electrochemical deposition of a thin PPy film on glassy carbon substrate, which is modified with Pt either by electroreduction of hexachloroplatinate, codeposition from a nanodispersed Pt solution, or incorporation of tetrachloroplatinate as counterion followed by cathodic reduction. A second method is based on the preparation of nanoscale PPy(PSS) particles by chemical polymerization with polystyrenesulfonate PSS^– as the counterion. This material is a favorable catalyst support for nanodispersed Pt due to its mixed electronic and cationic conductivity. To study the electrochemical properties, the particulate system PPy(PSS)/Pt is fixed in a carbon fiber electrode. A third method was developed which brings the polypyrrole in close contact to a proton exchanger membrane (Nafion) using a special chemical deposition procedure. This method is useful for preparing a membrane electrode assembly (MEA) consisting of Nafion/PPy/Pt. The structural, morphological, and electrocatalytic properties for methanol oxidation were studied depending on the preparation method applied using surface analytical techniques (TEM, SEM, and EDX) and electrochemical measurements (cyclic voltammetry and transient techniques).     

Membranes from poly(aryl ether)‐based ionomers containing multiblock segments of randomly distributed nanoclusters of 18 sulfonic acid groups

Multiblock copolymers 1a (M_n = 31,500–47,400) of sulfonated poly(aryl ether)s were synthesized by polycondensation of 4,4′‐difluorobenzophenone (DFBP), bis(4‐hydroxyphenyl)sulfone (BHPS), and an hydroxy‐terminated sulfonated oligomer, which was synthesized from DFBP and 2,2′,3,3′,5,5′‐hexaphenyl‐4,4′‐dihydroxybiphenyl a . The copolymerization of trimeric monomer b with DFBP and BHPS gave a series of copolymers 1b (M_n = 26,200–45,900). The copolymers were then sulfonated with chlorosulfonic acid to give ionomers 3a with hydrophilic multiblock segments and ionomers 3b with segments containing clusters of 18 sulfonic acid groups. The proton exchange membranes cast from ionomers 3a and 3b were characterized with regard to thermal stability, water uptake, proton conductivity, and morphology. Transmission electron microscopy images of 3a‐1 and 3b‐1 revealed a phase separation similar to that of Nafion that may explain their higher proton conductivities compared with randomly sulfonated copolymers. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Highly durable proton exchange membranes for low temperature fuel cells

A novel method has been proposed to fabricate Nafion/poly(tetrafluoroethylene) (PTFE) composite proton exchange membranes (PEMs) with high durability and high chemical stability. In this method, Nafion ionomers were first converted into the Na(+) form, they were then fixed on PTFE frame micropores, and then the polymer was heat-treated at 270 degrees C. The chemical stability tests of the novel composite PEMs by Fenton's reagent demonstrate the significant improvement in the chemical durability. The Nafion/PTFE composite PEMs also show an excellent physical stability, and its RH-generated stress is 0.6 MPa at 25 RH% and 90 degrees C, substantially smaller than 3.1 MPa for pure Nafion membrane under the same conditions. In an in situ accelerating RH cyclic experiment, the degradation in the open circuit voltage (OCV) of the fuel cell assembled with the novel composite PEMs is 3.3 mV/h, significantly lower than 13.2 mV/h for a fuel cell assembled with the commercial Nafion membrane.
