In view of this, the present invention provides a method for obtaining a platinum doped modified cobalt-based catalyst by one-step annealing, the preparation of which comprises the following steps:
the preparation method of the platinum doped modified cobalt-based catalyst comprises the following steps:
s1, dipping a basic cobalt salt substrate material coated with a dopamine high polymer in a chloroplatinic acid solution to obtain a substrate material growing with a platinum doped basic cobalt salt precursor coated with a polydopamine high polymer on the surface layer;
s2, placing the substrate material obtained in the step S1 in a tube furnace, adding dicyandiamide, and annealing under the protection of argon to obtain the platinum doped modified cobalt-based catalyst.
The preparation method of the basic cobalt salt base material coated with the dopamine high polymer comprises the following steps: dissolving cobalt chloride and urea in deionized water, and growing a needle-shaped basic cobalt salt array on a conductive substrate by using a chemical bath deposition method to obtain a substrate material growing with basic cobalt salt;
and (3) soaking the substrate material growing with the basic cobalt salt in the dopamine solution for a certain time, taking out, washing the surface of the substrate material with deionized water, and drying to obtain the uniform dopamine high polymer coated on the surface layer of the basic cobalt salt.
The load of the basic cobalt salt on the substrate material is 0.5-2 mg/cm 2 。
The concentration of the dopamine hydrochloride is 0.1-0.4 mg/L, and the soaking time of the substrate material in the dopamine hydrochloride buffer solution is 12-24 h.
Basic cobalt salt (Co (OH)) supported by platinum ions and a base material in the chloroplatinic acid solution 2 ) The molar ratio of cobalt ions is 3:100-10:100.
The cobalt-platinum ion replacement temperature is 30-80 ℃ and the replacement time is 12-24 h.
The annealing temperature is 700-900 ℃ and the annealing time is 2-3 h.
First, growing basic cobalt salt on a substrate material: firstly, dissolving cobalt chloride hexahydrate and urea with certain mass in deionized water, and magnetically stirring to obtain a uniform solution; pouring the solution into a glass test tube and placing the substrate material into the solution so that the solution submerges the substrate material; this is to allow the substrate material to be in sufficient contact with the solution, and the basic cobalt salt can be grown uniformly on the substrate material. And then putting the test tube into a constant temperature oven for hydrothermal reaction for a certain time, cooling, taking out, flushing the substrate material with water, and drying to obtain the basic cobalt salt growing on the substrate material in situ. This step serves to allow uniform growth of the basic cobalt salt on the substrate.
Second, coating of dopamine high polymer: dissolving dopamine hydrochloride in weak alkaline buffer solution with pH value of 7.5-8.5 to prepare dopamine hydrochloride buffer solution with certain concentration, soaking the substrate material growing with basic cobalt salt in the dopamine solution for a certain time, taking out, washing the surface with deionized water and drying to obtain the uniform dopamine polymer coated on the surface layer of the basic cobalt salt. In this process, the pH of the buffer solution for dissolving dopamine hydrochloride is about 7.5-8.5, because dissolution of dopamine hydrochloride in pure water makes the solution acidic, and the acidic solution dissolves basic cobalt salts. Therefore, a weakly basic buffer must be used to solubilize and neutralize dopamine hydrochloride, and only in a neutral or weakly basic environment, the basic cobalt salt is stable. The effect of wrapping a layer of dopamine high polymer is equivalent to wrapping a layer of membrane on the outer layer of basic cobalt salt, so that the basic cobalt salt can stably grow on the base fiber without falling off. And, the high polymer may provide a nitrogen source in a subsequent annealing step to form a nitrogen-doped carbon structure.
Third step, doping of platinum ions: and immersing the substrate material obtained by the steps in a chloroplatinic acid solution, and reacting for a certain time at a certain temperature to fully replace platinum ions and cobalt ions, thereby finally obtaining the substrate material growing the platinum doped basic cobalt salt precursor with the surface layer coated with the polydopamine high polymer. Most of the platinum doped catalytic materials are doped with platinum after annealing, but the platinum is doped before annealing, and the catalytic material is obtained by one-step annealing. The preparation process of the invention is simpler and more convenient, and the platinum atoms can be distributed more uniformly in the Co/Pt Co-annealing process, so that more monoatomic platinum catalytic active sites can be formed, which is very beneficial to the catalytic performance of the catalyst.
Fourth, precursor annealing: and (3) placing the Pt doped basic cobalt salt precursor, the surface layer of which is coated with the dopamine high polymer, growing on the substrate material in the center of a tube furnace, taking a certain amount of dicyandiamide, placing the dicyandiamide in the upstream of the tube furnace, annealing for a certain time at a certain temperature under the protection of argon, and cooling and taking out the dicyandiamide to obtain the platinum doped modified cobalt-based catalytic material. In this process, the whole annealing process must be performed under the protection of argon. The high annealing temperature causes that the entering of a trace amount of air can influence the normal progress of the reaction. The annealing temperature and the annealing time are the key points of the catalyst to obtain high catalytic performance, and a large number of experiments to obtain an optimal scheme are also one of the key points of the invention.
