高活性低成本氧还原反应(ORR)电催化剂是燃料电池和金属/空气电池等可再生能源技术的关键组成部分.在离子液体[(C16mim)2CuCl4]和质子化的石墨化氮化碳(g-CN)的存在下,采用简易的水热反应制备了Cu/g-CN电催化剂用于ORR.与纯的g-CN相比,所制Cu/g-CN表现出高的ORR催化活性:起始电势正移99 mV,为2倍动力学电流密度.另外,Cu/g-CN还表现出比商用Pt/C(HiSPECTM 3000,20%)催化剂更好的稳定性和甲醇容忍性.因此,该催化剂作为廉价的高效ORR电催化剂有望应用于燃料电池中.
High active and cost-effective electrocatalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) are essential components of renewable energy technologies, such as fuel cells and metal/air batteries. Herein, we propose that ORR active Cu/graphitic carbon nitride (Cu/g-CN) electrocatalyst can be prepared via a facile hydrothermal reaction in the present of the ionic liquid (IL) bis(1-hexadecyl-3-methylimid-azolium) tetrachlorocuprate [(C16mim)2CuCl4] and protonated g-CN. The as-prepared Cu/g-CN showed an impressive ORR catalytic activity that a 99 mV positive shift of the onset potential and 2 times kinetic current density can be clearly observed, comparing with the pure g-CN. In addition, the Cu/g-CN revealed better stability and methanol tolerance than commercial Pt/C (HiSPECTM 3000, 20%). Therefore, the proposed Cu/g-CN, as the inexpensive and efficient ORR electrocatalyst, would be a potential candidate for application in fuel cells.
