氮掺杂单壁碳纳米角作为铂催化剂载体:兼顾强耐久性和高ORR活性

摘要: 氮掺杂单壁碳纳米角(N-SWCNHs)可作为铂碳(Pt/C)催化剂的有效碳载体,具有提高氧还原反应(ORR)电催化活性和催化剂使用寿命的潜力。本工作中,通过电弧放电法可控合成了氮原子含量在2.1%至4.3%范围内的大丽花状单壁碳纳米角(SWCNHs),并将其用作铂纳米颗粒(NPs)的载体,记为Pt/N-SWCNHs。当氮原子含量超过3%,更多的电子会从SWCNHs转移到铂纳米颗粒,导致其催化性能下降。同时,SWCNHs载体的结构易被破坏并转化为无定形碳。Pt/N-SWCNHs-2:1(石墨与三聚氰胺质量比为2:1)表现出优异的催化活性(起始电位=0.95 V)。经过3000次循环伏安循环后,其半波电位仅降低了2 mV。这可归因于在最优氮掺杂水平下,铂纳米颗粒的分散性得到增强,以及N-SWCNHs与铂之间强烈的电子相互作用。本工作的结果为设计和增强用于ORR应用的铂基电催化剂提供了重要启示,并突显了氮掺杂水平在平衡催化活性与长期稳定性方面的关键作用。

 

Nitrogen doped single-walled carbon nanohorns as Pt catalyst carrier: Balance of strong durability and high activity of ORR

Abstract: Nitrogen-doped single-walled carbon nanohorns (N-SWCNHs) can serve as an effective carrier for platinum (Pt) catalysts, which has the potential to improve the electrocatalytic activity of oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and the operation life of the catalyst. In this work, dahlia-like SWCNHs with N contents ranging from 2.1at% to 4.3at% are controllably synthesized via arc discharge and applied as a carrier of Pt nanoparticles (NPs), denoted as Pt/N-SWCNHs. Pt/N-SWCNHs-2:1 (graphite and melamine with the mass ratio of 2:1) exhibits excellent catalytic activity (onset potential = 0.95 V). The half-wave potential of Pt/N-SWCNHs-2:1 is only reduced by 2 mV after 3000 cyclic voltammetry cycles. This can be attributed to the enhanced dispersion of Pt NPs and the strong electronic interaction between the N-SWCNHs and Pt, facilitated by the optimal nitrogen doping level. The results of this work offer important perspectives on the design and enhancement of Pt-based electrocatalysts for ORR applications, highlighting the critical role of the nitrogen doping level in balancing the catalytic activity and long-term stability.
