Definitions
- the present invention relates to a catalyst constituting an electrode of a polymer electrolyte fuel cell, and particularly to a catalyst having excellent activity as a catalyst for a cathode (air electrode) of a polymer electrolyte fuel cell.
- a polymer electrolyte fuel cell has an advantage that it has a low operating temperature and is compact. From these merits, the polymer electrolyte fuel cell is regarded as promising as a power source for automobiles and a household power source.
- a polymer electrolyte fuel cell has a laminated structure including a hydrogen electrode (anode) and an air electrode (cathode), and a solid polymer electrolyte membrane sandwiched between these electrodes.
- Hydrogen which is a fuel, is supplied to the hydrogen electrode, and oxygen-containing air is supplied to the air electrode, and electric power is extracted by electrochemical oxidation and reduction reactions that occur at each electrode.
- a mixture of a catalyst and a solid electrolyte for promoting an electrochemical reaction is generally applied to the catalyst layer.
- a platinum catalyst has been widely used as a catalyst constituting the above electrode.
- the platinum catalyst is a catalyst in which platinum is supported as a catalyst metal on a carbon powder support. Platinum as a catalyst metal has high activity in promoting electrode reactions at both the hydrogen electrode and the air electrode.
- the applicant of the present application has developed and disclosed many catalysts for polymer electrolyte fuel cells and production methods thereof.
- a method for producing a platinum catalyst a method is proposed in which platinum is supported on a carrier by a liquid phase reduction method using a predetermined platinum complex as a raw material (Patent Documents 1 and 2).
- the production method of these catalysts is a basic technology for producing a platinum group catalyst capable of exhibiting a suitable activity, and becomes a basic technology of a platinum catalyst to be developed thereafter.
- the direction of improving the characteristics of fuel cell catalysts includes improving the initial activity.
- the initial activity of the catalyst is a characteristic that determines the performance of the fuel cell electrode, and its improvement is a top priority.
- the durability is required to be improved along with the initial activity.
- the activity of the catalyst is reduced due to environmental changes associated with the operation of the fuel cell. When the rate of decrease is large, it is difficult to say that the catalyst is a useful catalyst no matter how high the initial activity is. Although it is difficult to completely avoid a decrease in the activity of the catalyst, it is necessary to suppress it as much as possible.
- the present invention has been made based on the background as described above, and can exhibit more preferable catalytic characteristics for a catalyst for a polymer electrolyte fuel cell in which catalyst particles containing platinum are supported on a carrier. It is an object to provide a manufacturing method and a manufacturing method thereof.
- the reaction at the cathode of the fuel cell is an oxygen reduction reaction (O 2 + 4H + + 4e ⁇ ⁇ 2H 2 O).
- This reaction starts with the adsorption of oxygen on the platinum surface, and is achieved by desorption of the generated oxygen species (H 2 O) from the platinum surface through exchange of protons and electrons on the platinum surface. Therefore, the oxygen reduction activity of the catalyst is affected by the strength of the binding force between platinum and oxygen in the catalyst particles.
- an index based on the d-band center theory is known as an index for interpreting the oxygen reduction activity of metallic platinum.
- the d-band center is the energy centroid of the electron distribution (density of states) in the 5d orbit of platinum with reference to the Fermi level. So far, explanations of oxygen reduction activity based on d-band center theory have been made for platinum in the form of thin films and bulk. In the d-band center theory, when the d-band center is shifted to the vicinity with respect to the Fermi level, the bond between platinum and oxygen becomes strong and the oxygen species are difficult to desorb.
- the d-band center is shifted far from the Fermi level, the bonding between platinum and oxygen is reduced, and oxygen adsorption itself is less likely to occur.
- the oxygen reduction activity is reduced, and if it is too far, the oxygen reduction activity is reduced.
- the characteristic evaluation of platinum based on the conventional d-band center theory is limited to that for platinum in a bulk or thin film state.
- catalyst particles ie, platinum or a platinum alloy in a particle state, which is the subject of the present invention
- the present inventors decided to study the density of state of platinum in the catalyst particles and the d-band center using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS).
- XPS X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy
- the present inventors have found that there is a characteristic difference in the state density of the valence band derived from the Pt5d orbital in the particulate platinum or platinum alloy. This difference is different from the conventionally known bulk platinum. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 1, the overall density of the state density of the valence band derived from the Pt5d orbit of particulate platinum is different from that of bulk platinum. This difference also includes the appearance of a spectral drop near the Fermi level (0 eV). In response to such examination results, the present inventors are required to set a unique standard that has not been known so far for the evaluation of the oxygen reduction activity of particulate platinum or a platinum alloy. Thought. Accordingly, the present inventors have studied the criteria, and have earnestly studied the configuration of catalyst particles that exhibit suitable oxygen reduction activity (catalytic activity), and have arrived at the present invention.

- the method for specifying the binding energy (Ec) indicating the d-band center of platinum in the catalyst particles is as follows. That is, the valence band spectrum is measured, and the energy position that bisects the spectrum area is calculated at the peak of the spectrum derived from the Pt5d orbit. This energy position becomes the target binding energy (Ec). In this calculation process, it is preferable to exclude the influence of the background and the like.
- the range of the binding energy (Ec) that is the d-band center of platinum in the catalyst particles, calculated as described above, is 2.90 eV or more and 3.85 eV or less. If it is out of these ranges, the oxygen reduction reaction cannot proceed suitably, and it becomes difficult to ensure the catalytic activity.
