Pd-Co-Mo electrocatalyst for the oxygen reduction reaction in proton exchange membrane fuel cells 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The catalytic activity of carbon supported Pd-Co-Mo for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in a single cell proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) has been investigated at 60 degrees C and compared with data from commercial Pt catalyst and our previously reported Pd-Co-Au and Pd-Ti catalysts. The Pd-Co-Mo catalyst with a Pd:Co:Mo atomic ratio of 70:20:10 exhibits slightly higher catalytic activity like the Pd-Co-Au catalyst than the commercial Pt catalyst, but with excellent chemical stability unlike the Pd-Co-Au catalyst. The Pd-Co-Mo catalyst also exhibits better tolerance to methanol poisoning than Pt. Investigation of the catalytic activity of the Pd-Co-Mo system with varying composition and heat treatment temperature reveals that a Pd:Co:Mo atomic ratio of 70:20:10 with a heat treatment temperature of 500 degrees C exhibits the highest catalytic activity. Although the degree of alloying increases with increasing temperature from 500 to 900 degrees C as indicated by the X-ray diffraction data, the catalytic activity decreases due to an increase in particle size and a decrease in surface area. 相似文献

Platinum nanoparticles (Pt NPs) on carbon black (CB) have been used as catalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in proton exchange membrane fuel cells for a while. However, this catalyst has suffered from aggregation and dissolution of Pt NPs as well as CB dissolution. In this study, we resolve those issues by developing perfluorosulfonic acid (PFSA)-functionalized Pt/graphene as a high-performance ORR catalyst. The noncovalently bonded PFSA remarkably decreases the dissolution and aggregation of Pt NPs. Moreover, unlike typical NP functionalization with other capping agents, PFSA is a proton conductor and thus efficiently develops a triple-phase boundary. These advantageous features are reflected in the improved cell performance in electrochemical active surface area, catalytic activity, and long-term durability, compared to those of the commercial Pt/C catalysts and graphene-based catalysts with no such treatment. 相似文献

Three different N-doped ordered porous carbons (CNx) were produced by a nanocasting process using polyaniline as the carbon and nitrogen precursor. A pyrolysis treatment of iron chloride-impregnated CNx under nitrogen is used in the preparation of the carbon composite catalysts, and this is followed by posttreatments and optimization of the iron loading and the pore size. Exploration of the catalytic activity of the CNx products for catalyzing the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) using rotating disk electrode measurements and single-cell tests shows that the onset potential for ORR of the most effective catalyst in 0.5 M H2SO4 is as high as 0.9 V vs. the normal hydrogen electrode. A proton exchange membrane fuel cell constructed with the catalyst exhibits a current density as high as 0.52 A cm?2 at 0.6 V with 2 atm back pressure using a cathode catalyst loading of 6 mg cm?2. The average pore diameters of synthesized CNx-12, CNx-15, and CNx-16 are 0.7, 4.3, and 14 nm, respectively. It is observed that the pore size and specific surface area are an important factor for increased catalyst activity. The pore size of the most effective catalysts is found to be 4.3 nm. 相似文献

We demonstrate a facile construction of iron nitride-doped carbon nanofiber by effectively utilizing the existing slit pores and rough edges along the inner wall of the substrate as originated by virtue of its cup-stack structure for effectively increasing the number of active sites and consequently the oxygen reduction activity. 相似文献

Although nitrogen doped CNTs (N-CNTs) are considered as a promising alternative to platinized carbon for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs), the origin of the enhanced ORR activity with N-CNTs is not clear at present. Among several plausible reasons, the exposure of edge plane and creation of impurity band/surface states near the Fermi level are considered as major causes behind the catalytic activity. However, CNTs without nitrogen doping are not known to catalyze the ORR. In this work, we study the ORR activity of functionalized carbon nanotubes with different functional groups, such as sulfonic acid and phosphonic acid, in order to understand the role of surface functionalities in catalyzing the reaction. Functionalized CNTs show significantly enhanced activity towards the ORR, while CNTs without such surface functional groups do not reveal any such special ORR activity. Linear sweep voltammetry experiments with different rotation rates show diffusion controlled limiting current values for functionalized CNTs, and the 'n' values derived from Koutecky-Levich plots are 3.3 and 1.7 for S-MWCNTs and P-MWCNTs, respectively. This work demonstrates the ORR activity of functionalized MWCNTs, which opens up new strategies for electrocatalyst design in PEMFCs. 相似文献

Platinum group metal (PGM)-free catalysts are promising low-cost materials for the oxygen reduction reaction in proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs). A variety of chemical precursors and synthesis methods have been proposed to increase their catalytic activity. In comparison, significantly less attention has been dedicated to the integration of these PGM-free catalysts into operating electrodes by investigating the role of the membrane electrode assembly (MEA) fabrication on the PEMFC performance. We discuss here some remarkable performance improvements recently achieved by tuning catalyst loading, ionomer content, and ink solvent composition, and call for further explorations of the ink processing and MEA fabrication to improve performance. 相似文献

To accelerate the kinetics of the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in proton exchange membrane fuel cells, ultrafine Pt nanoparticles modified with trace amounts of cobalt were fabricated and decorated on carbon black through a strategy involving modified glycol reduction and chemical etching. The obtained Pt36Co/C catalyst exhibits a much larger electrochemical surface area (ECSA) and an improved ORR electrocatalytic activity compared to commercial Pt/C. Moreover, an electrode prepared with Pt36Co/C was further evaluated under H2-air single cell test conditions, and exhibited a maximum specific power density of 10.27 W mgPt?1, which is 1.61 times higher than that of a conventional Pt/C electrode and also competitive with most state-of-the-art Pt-based architectures. In addition, the changes in ECSA, power density, and reacting resistance during the accelerated degradation process further demonstrate the enhanced durability of the Pt36Co/C electrode. The superior performance observed in this work can be attributed to the synergy between the ultrasmall size and homogeneous distribution of catalyst nanoparticles, bimetallic ligand and electronic effects, and the dissolution of unstable Co with the rearrangement of surface structure brought about by acid etching. Furthermore, the accessible raw materials and simplified operating procedures involved in the fabrication process would result in great cost-effectiveness for practical applications of PEMFCs. 相似文献

We demonstrate a new approach to synthesizing high-activity electrocatalysts for the O(2) reduction reaction with ultra low Pt content. The synthesis involves placing a small amount of Pt, the equivalent of a monolayer, on carbon-supported niobium oxide nanoparticles (NbO(2) or Nb(2)O(5)). Rotating disk electrode measurements show that the Pt/NbO(2)/C electrocatalyst has three times higher Pt mass activity for the O(2) reduction reaction than a commercial Pt/C electrocatalyst. The observed high activity of the Pt deposit is attributed to the reduced OH adsorption caused by lateral repulsion between PtOH and oxide surface species. The new electrocatalyst also exhibits improved stability against Pt dissolution under a potential cycling regime (30,000 cycles from 0.6 V to 1.1 V). These findings demonstrate that niobium-oxide (NbO(2)) nanoparticles can be adequate supports for Pt and facilitate further reducing the noble metal content in electrocatalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction. 相似文献

Sulfur doped reduced graphene oxide (S-rGO) is investigated for catalytic activity towards the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in acidic and alkaline electrolytes. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy shows that sulfur in S-rGO is predominantly integrated as thiophene motifs within graphene sheets. The overall sulfur content is determined to be approximately 2.2 at.% (elemental analysis). The catalytic activity of S-rGO towards the ORR is investigated by both rotating disc electrode (RDE) and polymer electrolyte fuel cell (PEFC) measurements. RDE measurements reveal onset potentials of 0.3 V and 0.74 V (vs. RHE) in acidic and alkaline electrolyte, respectively. In a solid electrolyte fuel cell with S-rGO as cathode material, this is reflected in an open circuit voltage of 0.37 V and 0.78 V and a maximum power density of 1.19 mW/cm2 and 2.38 mW/cm2 in acidic and alkaline polymer electrolyte, respectively. This is the first report investigating the catalytic activity of a sulfur doped carbon material in both acidic and alkaline liquid electrolyte, as well as in both proton and anion exchange polymer electrolyte fuel cells. 相似文献

Proton exchange membrane fuel cells are considered a promising power supply system with high efficiency and zero emissions. They typically work within a relatively narrow range of temperature and humidity to achieve optimal performance; however, this makes the system difficult to control, leading to faults and accelerated degradation. Two main approaches can be used for diagnosis, limited data input which provides an unintrusive, rapid but limited analysis, or advanced characterisation that provides a more accurate diagnosis but often requires invasive or slow measurements. To provide an accurate diagnosis with rapid data acquisition, machine learning methods have shown great potential. However, there is a broad approach to the diagnostic algorithms and signals used in the field. This article provides a critical view of the current approaches and suggests recommendations for future methodologies of machine learning in fuel cell diagnostic applications. 相似文献

Performance of proton exchange fuel cells with different membrane and electrode assembly (MEA) is studied. It is shown that
MEA fabricated with catalyst plasma pulverization technology has the maximum performance. Some instabilities in the cell performance,
observed with time, are probably due to periodic cathode flooding.

Doped graphene-based cathode catalysts are considered as promising competitors for ORR, but their power density has been low compared to Pt-based cathodes, mainly due to poor mass-transport properties. A new electrocatalyst for PEMFCs, an iodine doped grahene was prepared, characterized, and tested and the results are presented in this paper. We report a hybrid derived electrocatalyst with increased electrochemical active area and enhanced mass-transport properties. The electrochemical performances of several configurations were tested and compared with a typical Pt/C cathode configuration. As a standalone catalyst, the iodine doped graphene gives a performance with 60% lower than if it is placed between gas diffusion layer and catalyst layer. If it is included as microporous layer, the electrochemical performances of the fuel cell are with 15% bigger in terms of power density than the typical fuel cell with the same Pt/C loading, proving the beneficial effect of the iodine doped graphene for the fuel cell in the ohmic and mass transfer region. Moreover, the hybrid cathode manufactured by commercial Pt/C together with the material with best proprieties, is tested in a H2-Air fuel cell and a power density of 0.55 W cm−2 at 0.52 V was obtained, which is superior to that of a commercial Pt-based cathode tested under identical conditions (0.46 W cm−2). 相似文献

Efficient oxide supported electrocatalysts for hydrogen and alcohol fuel cells are developed. They are characterized by a low content of platinum, exhibit high activity in the oxidation of low-molecular alcohols and tolerance to the CO poisoning. It is shown that the application of catalysts developed (Pt/SnO2-SbO x ) enables one to raise the power of fuel cells operating on ethanol approximately by two times as compared with similar fuel cells with commercial PtRu/C catalysts. 相似文献

A membrane electrode assembly (MEA) for hydrogen fuel cells has been fabricated using single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) support and platinum catalyst. Films of SWCNTs and commercial platinum (Pt) black were sequentially cast on a carbon fiber electrode (CFE) using a simple electrophoretic deposition procedure. Scanning electron microscopy and Raman spectroscopy showed that the nanotubes and the platinum retained their nanostructure morphology on the carbon fiber surface. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) revealed that the carbon nanotube-based electrodes exhibited an order of magnitude lower charge-transfer reaction resistance (R(ct)) for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) than did the commercial carbon black (CB)-based electrodes. The proton exchange membrane (PEM) assembly fabricated using the CFE/SWCNT/Pt electrodes was evaluated using a fuel cell testing unit operating with H(2) and O(2) as input fuels at 25 and 60 degrees C. The maximum power density obtained using CFE/SWCNT/Pt electrodes as both the anode and the cathode was approximately 20% better than that using the CFE/CB/Pt electrodes. 相似文献

Pd-Fe nanoparticles as electrocatalysts for oxygen reduction 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
We have synthesized new electrocatalysts for the O2 reduction reaction that does not contain Pt. They consist of carbon-supported Pd-Fe alloys and have very high oxygen reduction. The nanoparticles with a Pd:Fe molar ratio of 3:1 (Pd3Fe/C) show a higher mass activity than that of commercial Pt/C. The surface-specific activity of the Pd-Fe alloys is related to the Pd-Pd bond distance: the shorter the bond distance, the higher the activity. This new class of electrocatalysts promises to alleviate some major problems of existing fuel cell technology by simultaneously decreasing materials cost and enhancing performance. 相似文献
