Electrocatalytic Oxygen Reduction of Carbon-based Hierarchical Pt@Co Composite Catalytic Cathode in Natural Seawater
Aiming at the problem of low chloride-poisoning resistance capacity and low electrocatalyt-ic activity for the catalytic material of oxygen reduction,hierarchical composite material was synthesized and its oxygen reduction process was studied in the natural seawater.Herein,A highly active material of hierarchical Pt@Co@-N-C composite coating on carbon cloth was prepared via a combined technique composed of in-situ growth method,high-temperature carbonization treatment and electrodeposition.Characterization results indicate that the as-synthesized composite displays a multi-layered core-shell en-capsulation structure with carbon fibers serving as the core matrix,ZIF8/ZIF67-deriving microporous Co-N-C as the bottom coating and the electrodeposited Pt nanoclusters as the apparent catalytic coating.Whereinto,the Co-N-C coating provides lots of depositing sites for improving the dispersibility of Pt nanoparticles,expediting the uniform growth of Pt nanoclusters.Electrochemical results show that in com-parison to the commercial PVC catalyst,Pt@Co-N-C@CC possesses better electrocatalytic oxygen re-duction performance,i.e.which presents onset potential 0.075 V and half-wave potential-0.156 V all much more positive than those of the commercial ones-0.028 V and-0.401 V(vs.Ag/AgCI)respectively.The seawater battery assembling Pt@Co-N-C@CC and Mg shows higher cell voltage of above 0.8 V and maximum power density of 7.6 mW/cm2,in contrary,below 0.5 V and 3.9 mW/cm2 respectively for the as-sembling Pt/C and Mg.These prove that the high-efficiency recombination of ZIF8/ZIF67-deriving Co-N-C and Pt nanoclusters benefits to enhance the catalytic activity and improve the chloride-poisoning resis-tance.
