摘要: |
贵金属基电催化剂是促进燃料电池及金属-空气电池技术发展的关键材料,然而,其单一的氧还原/氧析出催化功能及高昂的制备成本制约了其推广应用。为此,开发低成本、高效的非贵金属双功能电催化剂至关重要。以核壳金属有机框架(MOFs)为前驱体,通过高温煅烧法制备具有核壳结构、高催化活性、高导电性的钴/氮共掺杂碳基电催化剂(Co/Co3O4@NGC)。结果表明:煅烧温度是影响电催化剂微纳结构、物化组成和催化活性的关键因素,最佳烧结温度为900 ℃;制备的电催化剂(Co/Co3O4@NGC-900)具有清晰的核壳结构和3D十二面体形貌,微表面遍布Co/Co3O4纳米颗粒和Co-Nx位点。同时,Co/Co3O4@NGC-900有机地结合了多元活性成分(如活性Co/Co3O4纳米颗粒、Co-Nx及N掺杂)和高度石墨化碳基底的共同作用,具备高效的氧还原性(ORR,起始电位为0.89 V、半波电位为0.82 V、塔菲尔斜率为58.1 mV/dec、传荷电阻为26.6 Ω)和氧析出性(OER,过电势为410 mV、塔菲尔斜率为132 mV/dec、传荷电阻为24.5 Ω),且具有与传统贵金属基电催化剂(Pt/C, RuO2/C)相匹配的电催化性能,在保障高效电催化活性的前提下实现了催化剂制造成本的大幅削减,为新型MOFs电催化材料的制备和应用提供了理论和技术支撑。 |

Abstract: |
Noble metal-based electrocatalysts are the key materials to promote the technical development of fuel cells and metal-air batteries. However, the single catalytic function towards oxygen reduction/oxygen evolution and the prohibitive cost restrict their extensive application. Therefore, it is of great significance to develop non-noble metal-based bi-functional electrocatalysts with low-cost and high-efficiency. In this study, taking core-shell metal organic frameworks (MOFs) as precursors, cobalt/nitrogen co-doped carbon-based electrocatalyst (Co/Co3O4@NGC) was fabricated using high-temperature calcination technology, with a core-shell structure, high catalytic activity, and high conductivity. Results show that the calcination temperature was the key factor affecting the micro-nano structure, physicochemical composition, and catalytic activity of the electrocatalyst. The optimal temperature of calcination was 900 ℃. The fabricated electrocatalyst (Co/Co3O4@NGC-900) had a clear core-shell structure and 3D-dodecahedron morphology with Co/Co3O4 nanoparticles and Co-Nx sites on its micro-surface. In addition, Co/Co3O4@NGC-900 inherently combined the synergistic effects of both multiple active ingredients (e.g., active Co/Co3O4 nanoparticles, Co-Nx, and N dopants) and highly graphitized carbon substrates, and thus exhibited efficient oxygen reduction performance (ORR, onset potential of 0.89 V, half-wave potential of 0.82 V, Tafel slope of 58.1 mV/dec, and charge transfer resistance of 26.6 Ω) and oxygen evolution performance (OER, overpotential of 410 mV, Tafel slope of 132 mV/dec, and charge transfer resistance of 24.5 Ω). Therefore, Co/Co3O4@NGC-900 exerted electrocatalytic performance comparable to that of typical noble metal-based electrocatalysts (e.g., Pt/C, RuO2/C), and achieved significant reduction of catalyst fabrication cost on the premise of ensuring its high-efficient electrocatalytic activity, providing theoretical and technical support for the fabrication and application of innovative MOFs derived electrocatalytic materials. |
