A method of preparing a supported catalyst, the method comprising mixing a first catalytic metal precursor and a first solvent to obtain a first catalytic metal precursor mixture; mixing a carbon support for catalyst and the first catalytic metal precursor mixture, and drying the mixture to obtain a primary supported catalyst precursor; subjecting the primary supported catalyst precursor to a hydrogen reduction heat treatment, to obtain a primary supported catalyst; mixing the primary supported catalyst and a polyhydric alcohol to obtain a primary supported catalyst mixture; mixing a second catalytic metal precursor and a second solvent to obtain a second catalytic metal precursor mixture; mixing the primary supported catalyst mixture and the second catalytic metal precursor mixture to obtain a secondary supported catalyst precursor mixture; and adjusting the pH of the secondary supported catalyst precursor mixture, and then heating the secondary supported catalyst precursor mixture to obtain a supported catalyst, a supported catalyst prepared by the method, an electrode comprising the supported catalyst, and a fuel cell including the electrode are provided. A supported catalyst having a desired amount of loaded catalytic metal particles can be obtained by preparing a primary supported catalyst containing catalytic metal particles that are obtained by a primary gas phase reduction reaction of a portion of the final loading amount of catalytic metal, and reducing the remaining portion of the catalytic metal by a secondary liquid phase reduction reaction. The supported catalyst contains catalytic metal particles having a very small average particle size, which are uniformly distributed on a carbon support at a high concentration, and thus exhibits maximal catalyst activity. A fuel cell produced using the supported catalyst has improved efficiency.

A mesoporous carbon composite includes mesoporous carbon having mesopores; a conductive polymer coated on only an outer surface of the mesoporous carbon; and an organic electrolyte. The mesoporous carbon composite may be prepared by impregnating an ordered mesoporous silica (OMS) with a mixture comprising a carbon precursor, an acid, and a solvent; heat-treating and carbonizing the impregnated OMS to form an OMS-carbon composite; mixing the OMS-carbon composite with a monomer that forms a conductive polymer and a solvent to provide a surface of the OMS-carbon composite with the monomer; polymerizing the monomer to obtain a conductive polymer-coated OMS-carbon composite; removing the OMS from the composite to obtain a conductive polymer-coated mesoporous carbon; and doping the conductive polymer-coated mesoporous carbon with an organic electrolyte. A supported catalyst and a fuel cell include the mesoporous carbon composite.
摘要:
A catalyst coated membrane (CCM) comprising an anode catalyst layer having a first catalyst layer composed of a non-supported catalyst and a second catalyst layer composed of a supported catalyst, a cathode catalyst layer composed of a supported catalyst, and an electrolyte membrane interposed between the anode catalyst layer and a cathode catalyst layer, the first catalyst layer of the anode catalyst layer being disposed adjacent to the electrolyte membrane; a membrane electrode assembly (MEA) comprising the catalyst coated membrane; a method of preparing the membrane electrode assembly; and a fuel cell comprising the membrane electrode assembly, are provided. The CCM, which comprises a bilayered anode catalyst layer including the first catalyst layer composed of a non-supported catalyst and the second catalyst layer composed of a supported catalyst, exhibits reduced electrical resistance and interfacial resistance, and has increased catalyst availability. The use of the CCM and an MEA having the same results in a decrease in the interfacial resistance between the electrodes and the electrolyte membrane, a decrease in the amount of the catalyst used in the electrode catalyst layer, and a decrease in the thickness deviation in the electrode layers. The fuel cell employing the MEA exhibits maximal activity of the supported catalyst, and has improved cell characteristics such as output voltage, output density, efficiency, and the like.

The present invention is related to a mesoporous carbon molecular sieve, which can be used as a catalyst carrier capable of improving the activity of a supported catalyst and a method of preparing the same. Additionally, the invention is related to a supported catalyst employing the mesoporous carbon molecular sieve as a carrier, and a fuel cell employing the supported catalyst. The mesoporous carbon molecular sieve has an average primary particle size of less than about 500 nm, an average mesopore size in the range of about 3 nm to about 6 nm, and a surface area in the range of about 500 m2/g to about 2000 m2/g.
摘要:
A hierarchical mesoporous carbon is provided in which a total volume of mesopores of the hierarchical mesoporous carbon is 80% or greater of a total volume of pores of the hierarchical mesoporous carbon; a volume of mesopores with a average diameter greater than 20 nm and no greater than 50 nm is 3% or greater of the total volume of the pores; and a volume of mesopores with a average diameter greater than 2 nm and no greater than 10 nm is 65% or greater of the total volume of the pores. The hierarchical mesoporous carbon, which also contains macropores, has an optimized mesoporous distribution characteristic, and has an increased total volume of pores, thereby having a significantly improved catalytic activity when used as a catalyst support. When such a supported catalyst is used in a fuel cell, supply of fuel and transporting of byproducts are facilitated.
摘要:
Provided are a CNT-mesoporous silica composite, a CNT-mesoporous carbon composite, a supported catalyst using the CNT-mesoporous carbon composite as a support, and a fuel cell using the supported catalyst as the anode, cathode, or both anode and cathode. The CNT-mesoporous carbon composite is prepared using the CNT-mesoporous silica composite. The CNT-mesoporous carbon composite has a high electrical conductivity due to the CNTs contained therein, and thus, when the CNT-mesoporous carbon composite is used in an electrode of a fuel cell, the fuel cell has a remarkably improved performance relative to the conventional catalyst support which does not contain CNTs.
