Among many new energy conversion and storage devices, fuel cells, metal-air cells, and the like have been widely studied with advantages of high conversion efficiency, low emission, and the like. However, since the cathode oxygen reduction reaction is a major factor limiting the power of the battery due to slow kinetics, it is usually required to improve the reaction efficiency in the presence of an electrocatalyst, which is currently commercialized as Pt/C, but since the precious metal Pt is scarce in resources, expensive, and the Pt-based electrocatalyst has poor stability and methanol tolerance, it has been prevented from being widely used in fuel cells and metal-air batteries.

Detailed Description
The invention provides a transition metal/nitrogen doped porous carbon nanosphere electrocatalyst and a preparation method thereof, and in order to make the purposes, technical schemes and advantages of the invention clearer, the invention is further described in detail below. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and are not intended to limit the invention.
Specifically, the preparation method of the transition metal/nitrogen doped porous carbon nanosphere electrocatalyst provided by the invention comprises the following steps:
and S1, sequentially adding the template agent, the carbon source and the nitrogen source into deionized water to obtain a precursor solution.
Because the prior preparation method of the transition metal/nitrogen-doped porous carbon nanosphere electrocatalyst needs acid-base etching to remove the template, the nitrogen doping process is complex and the nitrogen content is not adjustable, the preparation process is complex, the cost is high, and the commercial popularization is difficult. In order to solve the above problems, in this embodiment, a template is first added into deionized water, the mixture is magnetically stirred at room temperature until the template is completely dissolved, a carbon source is then added into the solution, the mixture is continuously magnetically stirred at room temperature for 0.5 to 1 hour until the carbon source is completely dissolved, a nitrogen source is then added into the solution, and the mixture is continuously magnetically stirred at room temperature until the nitrogen source is completely dissolved, so that a precursor solution containing the template, the carbon source, and the nitrogen source is obtained for preparing nitrogen-doped carbon nanospheres in subsequent steps. In a specific embodiment, the stirring speed of the template, the carbon source and the nitrogen source is 100-400 rpm, and the stirring time is 3-4 h.
And S2, placing the precursor solution in a reaction kettle, carrying out constant-temperature hydrothermal treatment, and drying to obtain nitrogen-doped carbon nanosphere powder.
In one embodiment, the templating agent is a triblock copolymer ethylene oxide-propylene oxide-ethylene oxide (F127), the carbon source is γ -cyclodextrin, and the nitrogen source is p-phenylenediamine. Due to the action of the host and the guest, the triblock copolymer F127 passes through the inner cavity of the gamma-cyclodextrin to form an inclusion compound, and then forms a spherical micelle through the action of hydrogen bonds. And (3) carrying out high-temperature hydrothermal treatment, and further polymerizing and carbonizing the gamma-cyclodextrin on the surface of the spherical micelle to obtain the nitrogen-doped carbon sphere nanosphere solution. And drying the nitrogen-doped carbon nanosphere solution to obtain nitrogen-doped carbon nanosphere powder.
In a specific embodiment, the step S2 specifically includes:
s21, placing the precursor solution in a reaction kettle, placing the reaction kettle in a constant-temperature oven at 180-220 ℃ for 2-8 h, washing with deionized water for 3-5 times, and drying at 50-80 ℃ for 5-12 h to obtain nitrogen-doped carbon nanosphere powder.
In a specific embodiment, in this embodiment, the temperature of the oven is raised to 180 to 220 ℃ in advance, and then the reaction kettle filled with the precursor solution is placed in a constant-temperature oven to be heated for 2 to 8 hours, and the triblock copolymer F127, the gamma-cyclodextrin and the p-phenylenediamine are subjected to host-guest action, molecular self-assembly action, polymerization and carbonization under a high-temperature condition to form the nitrogen-doped carbon nanosphere solution. Because the nitrogen-doped carbon nanosphere solution contains the reacted by-product and the redundant reactant, after the nitrogen-doped carbon nanosphere solution is obtained, the nitrogen-doped carbon nanosphere solution is continuously centrifuged or filtered to remove the solvent, and then the nitrogen-doped carbon nanospheres after the solvent is removed are washed by deionized water for 3-5 times to remove the impurities attached to the surfaces of the nanospheres. And drying the nitrogen-doped carbon nanosphere solution washed clean by water at 50-80 ℃ for 5-12 h to obtain nitrogen-doped carbon nanosphere powder.
In a specific embodiment, the amount of gamma-cyclodextrin is too high, the triblock copolymer F127, gamma-cyclodextrin and p-phenylenediamine can be excessively crosslinked under high-temperature hydrothermal conditions, and a porous carbon structure cannot be formed in subsequent steps; the amount of gamma-cyclodextrin is too small, and the formed porous carbon has a weak structure. In a specific embodiment, when the mass ratio of the gamma-cyclodextrin to the triblock copolymer F127 is 8:1, the transition metal/nitrogen doped porous carbon nanosphere electrocatalyst with stable structure and excellent performance can be obtained in the subsequent steps.
In one embodiment, the nitrogen element and the carbon element are in adjacent positions in the periodic table, and the atomic radius of the nitrogen element and the carbon atom are close to each other, so that the doping of the nitrogen element has small influence on the lattice distortion of the carbon material. A certain amount of nitrogen is added into the porous carbon material, so that on one hand, the surface charge density of the porous carbon material is increased, and the defect sites of the porous carbon material can be increased, thereby enhancing the activity in electrochemical or electrocatalytic reactions. On the other hand, the porous carbon material nitrogen functional group enables the porous carbon material to be more easily combined with heavy metal ions, so that the metal ions can be more uniformly dispersed on the surface of the carbon material in the subsequent step. However, excessive nitrogen source disturbs the assembly process of gamma-cyclodextrin and triblock copolymer F127, resulting in self-polymerization or polycondensation of the precursor solution. In a specific embodiment, when the molar ratio of the gamma-cyclodextrin to the p-phenylenediamine is 1: 1-4: 1, the transition metal/nitrogen doped porous carbon nanosphere electrocatalyst with excellent performance can be obtained.
And S3, dissolving the nitrogen-doped carbon nanosphere powder and the transition metal salt in deionized water, performing ultrasonic treatment, and performing vacuum drying to obtain the transition metal/nitrogen-doped carbon nanosphere powder.
In a specific embodiment, after obtaining the nitrogen-doped carbon nanosphere powder, a certain amount of the nitrogen-doped carbon nanosphere powder and the transition metal salt are weighed and simultaneously dissolved in deionized water to obtain a mixed solution, the mixed solution is subjected to ultrasonic treatment, and transition metal ions are fully coordinated with nitrogen-containing functional groups on the surface of the nitrogen-doped carbon nanosphere under the ultrasonic action to obtain a transition metal/nitrogen-doped carbon nanosphere solution. And drying the transition metal/nitrogen-doped carbon nanosphere solution to remove the solvent, thereby obtaining transition metal/nitrogen-doped carbon nanosphere powder.
In one embodiment, the transition metal salt is CuCl2·H2O、FeCl3·6H2O and CoCl2·6H2O, the ultrasonic time is more than or equal to 2 h. An appropriate amount of transition metal can increase the initial oxygen reduction potential and the limiting current density of the electrocatalyst, but too high a content of transition metal leads to a decline in the activity of the electrocatalyst. In one embodiment, the mass ratio of the nitrogen-doped carbon nanoball powder to the transition metal salt is 1: 1.
S4, carbonizing the transition metal/nitrogen-doped carbon nanosphere powder in inert gas to obtain the transition metal/nitrogen-doped porous carbon nanosphere electrocatalyst.
In a specific embodiment, after obtaining the transition metal/nitrogen-doped carbon nanosphere powder, the transition metal/nitrogen-doped carbon nanosphere powder is placed in a covered porcelain boat, and the porcelain boat is placed in a tube furnace and subjected to high-temperature carbonization under the protection of inert gas. The template agent in the transition metal/nitrogen-doped carbon nanosphere powder is decomposed at high temperature to obtain the transition metal/nitrogen-doped porous carbon nanosphere electrocatalyst.
In one embodiment, the inert gas comprises nitrogen, argon, and the like. The higher the carbonization temperature is, the higher the graphitization degree of the carbon material is, and the lower the content of nitrogen element doped on the surface is; the lower the carbonization temperature, the lower the degree of graphitization of the carbon material and poor removal of the templating agent. In one embodiment, the carbonization temperature is 2-8 ℃/min; the temperature rise rate during carbonization is 650-1000 ℃.
In a specific embodiment, after the step S4, the method further includes:
s5, soaking the transition metal/nitrogen-doped porous carbon nanosphere electrocatalyst in a hydrochloric acid solution with the concentration of 0.5-2M for 1-3 hours, and then drying the acid-washed transition metal/nitrogen-doped porous carbon nanosphere electrocatalyst at the temperature of 60-80 ℃ for 4-12 hours.
In one embodiment, the transition metal/nitrogen doped porous carbon nanosphere electrocatalyst obtained in the previous step has large particles of metal residues adsorbed on the surface, which can affect the catalytic performance of the electrocatalyst. Therefore, in the embodiment, after the transition metal/nitrogen-doped porous carbon nanosphere electrocatalyst is obtained, the electrocatalyst is further soaked in a hydrochloric acid solution with the concentration of 0.5-2M for 1-3 hours, and large metal particles on the surface of the electrocatalyst are removed. And then drying the acid-washed electrocatalyst for 4-12 h at the temperature of 60-80 ℃ to further obtain the monoatomic transition metal/nitrogen-doped porous carbon nanosphere electrocatalyst.
The invention also provides a transition metal/nitrogen doped porous carbon nanosphere electrocatalyst which is prepared by the preparation method.
The preparation method can adjust the content of the transition metal adsorbed by the nitrogen-doped carbon nanospheres by adjusting the content of the nitrogen source, thereby effectively improving the catalytic activity of the electrocatalyst. The template agent is decomposed at high temperature, acid and alkali etching is not needed to remove the template, and the prepared electrocatalyst has a large specific surface area, so that adsorption and catalytic reactions can be carried out conveniently, and the catalytic efficiency is greatly improved. The invention is further illustrated by the following specific examples.
