摘要
用柠檬酸钠作为表面活性剂,通过有机聚合物薄膜平面蒸干法制备了新型Ir/C催化剂(N-Ir/C),作为阴离子交换膜燃料电池的阳极氢氧化(HOR)催化剂。实验结果表明:该方法制备的N-Ir/C催化剂的颗粒粒径得到了有效的控制,且分散性好,HOR催化活性、稳定性得到显著提高。在碱性介质中,N-Ir/C催化剂在0.05 V(vs.RHE)下的表观比活性达到了2.046 m A/cm~2,表现出了与Pt基催化剂相媲美的催化活性;在恒电位0.25 V vs. RHE下,N-Ir/C催化剂的催化活性在1 h后仅仅下降了4.3%,其稳定性显著优越于传统方法制备的Ir/C催化剂。
A new type of Ir/C catalyst(N-Ir/C), as anode hydrogen oxidation reaction(HOR) catalyst for anion-exchange membrane fuel cell, was prepared by using sodium citrate as a surfactant through planar evaporation of organic polymer thin film. The experimental results show that the particle size of N-Ir/C catalyst is effectively controlled with good dispersion. Moreover, the HOR activity and stability of N-Ir/C catalyst are significantly improved. In alkaline medium, the specific activity of N-Ir/C catalyst is as high as 2.046 m A/cm~2 at 0.05 V(vs.RHE),which is comparable with the commercial Pt Ru/C catalyst. At the constant voltage of 0.25 V vs. RHE, the HOR activity of N-Ir/C catalyst decreases only by 4.3% after 1 h, which is significantly superior to that of the traditional prepared Ir/C catalyst.
