摘要

Polymer electrolyte fuel cell (PEFC) commercialization would be significantly enhanced if the Pt-based catalysts needed to catalyze the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) at the cell’s cathode were substituted with inexpensive materials based on abundant metals. Such non-noble metal catalysts (NNMCs) have been studied since the 1960s, and the ongoing refinement of their syntheses has recently led to ORR-activities and high-current performances commensurate with those of Pt-catalysts. However, these qualities are accompanied by a poorly understood, fast deactivation that ultimately prevents NNMCs’ device implementation. In order to shed light on the relative impact of the different mechanisms discussed in the literature (e.g., radical attack, demetallation) on the overall instability and their likely relation with the materials’ composition, there is an urgent need to develop synthesis strategies allowing for a fine control of the catalyst’s speciation. With this motivation, we have developed a novel NNMC-preparation approach in which an inexpensive precursor and polyacrylonitrile are used as the porous template and C-/ N-precursor, respectively, and a complex of Fe~(2+) with 1,10-phenanthroline acts as the metal source. The initial mixing of all precursors is followed by heat treatment and acid washing, along with a second heat treatment that improves the catalyst’s ORR-activity (assessed by rotating disc electrode voltammetry). Tuning of the synthesis parameters (e.g., precursors’ ratios, heat treatment temperature) results in catalysts with different (micro-)porous-and N-contents, unveiling the importance of these variables on the corresponding ORR-activity. Finally, polymer electrolyte fuel cell tests unveil that the most active NNMC displays a promising, initial ORR-activity (≈ 10 AgNNMC-1 at 0.8 V) that promptly decays during a potentiostatic test at 0.5 V – a behavior that is tentatively assigned to the flooding of the excessively-microporous NNMC catalyst layer.
