项目摘要

The proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) is believed to be of great importance for a successful usage of sustainable energy, because it enables the conversion of sustainably produced hydrogen into electricity. Challenges for this technology are mainly increasing activity and stability of the electrocatalyst. This key component usually consists of a catalyst support based on carbon materials on which the active metal (e.g. platinum) is dispersed. In the last years the activity of these catalysts could be considerably increased by optimizing the structure of the active component, for instance in the form of metal alloys like PtNi. The stability of the catalyst is mainly limited by the carbon support. Employing non-carbon support materials can mitigate some of the disadvantages carbon supports inherit, e.g. the low stability against oxidation. Yet these materials give rise to other drawbacks like a poor electrical conductivity. Recently an extraordinary stability was reported when employing porous hollow graphitic spheres as electrocatalyst support. Reason for the stability is seen in the combination of inner porosity, mesopores with size similar to the dispersed platinum particles and the graphitic structure of the carbon material. In contrast to the typically used carbon black containing outer porosity these novel supports seem to 'trap' the active metal inside the pores. This shows that the stability of carbon supports can be increased to a satisfying level. In this proposal the described findings shall be applied to develop new mesoporous, graphitic carbon supports with inner porosity for stable PEMFC catalysts. The development will base on Carbide Derived Carbons (CDC) that are obtained by the reactive extraction of carbides, while crucial parameters like pore structure and degree of graphitization can be adjusted by the choice of carbide precursor and extraction temperature. The resulting carbon is very pure and the material properties can be obtained with a high reproducibility. Preliminary work showed that mesoporous and graphitic carbons are obtained at extraction temperatures above 1200 °C, which shall be employed within the project to vary the degree of graphitization and pore sizes of CDC based carbon supports. Furthermore a method for the deposition of platinum on these supports shall be developed, which result in homogeneous dispersion of the metal within the pore system. After Subsequently, the platinum clusters will be sintered to the size of the pores to allow for 'trapping'. The resulting catalysts will be tested regarding their activity and stability for the Oxygen Reduction Reaction with half-cell measurements. Further insights will be obtained by characterization of the pristine and used electrocatalysts with IL-TEM. In external cooperation optimized materials resulting will be studied in single stack fuel cell experiments for their long-term stability under realistic conditions.

质子交换膜燃料电池（PEMFC）被认为对于成功使用可持续能源非常重要，因为它能够将可持续生产的氢气转化为电能。该技术面临的挑战主要是提高电催化剂的活性和稳定性。该关键部件通常由基于碳材料的催化剂载体组成，活性金属（例如铂）分散在该催化剂载体上。近年来，通过优化活性组分的结构，例如金属合金如PtNi的形式，可以显著提高这些催化剂的活性。催化剂的稳定性主要受碳载体的限制。采用非碳载体材料可以减轻碳载体继承的一些缺点，例如抗氧化稳定性低。然而，这些材料产生了其他缺点，如导电性差。最近报道了当采用多孔中空石墨球作为电催化剂载体时的非凡稳定性。稳定性的原因在于内部孔隙率、具有与分散的铂颗粒相似的尺寸的中孔和碳材料的石墨结构的组合。与通常使用的含有外部孔隙的炭黑相反，这些新型载体似乎将活性金属“捕获”在孔隙内。这表明碳载体的稳定性可以提高到令人满意的水平。在这个建议中，所描述的研究结果应适用于开发新的介孔，石墨碳载体与内部孔隙率稳定的质子交换膜燃料电池催化剂。该开发将基于通过反应提取碳化物获得的碳化物衍生碳（CDC），而关键参数（如孔结构和石墨化程度）可以通过选择碳化物前体和提取温度进行调整。所得碳非常纯，并且可以以高再现性获得材料特性。初步工作表明，在1200 °C以上的提取温度下可以获得中孔碳和石墨碳，这将在项目中用于改变CDC基碳载体的石墨化程度和孔径。此外，还应开发一种在这些载体上沉积铂的方法，使金属均匀分散在孔隙系统中。随后，铂簇将被烧结到孔的大小，以允许“捕获”。将使用半电池测量测试所得催化剂的氧还原反应活性和稳定性。通过用IL-TEM表征原始和使用过的电催化剂，将获得进一步的见解。在外部合作中，将在单堆燃料电池实验中研究优化后的材料在现实条件下的长期稳定性。
