摘要
本期的研究中,以合成碳纖維支撐的優選晶面鈀觸媒並研究其催化氧氣的還原反應(ORR)。先前研究當中,所提出電鍍沈積鈀奈米結晶於碳紙的氣體擴散層的碳纖維表面,並將有鈀的碳紙製成氫氧燃料電池的膜電極組測試其性能。
為了進一步探討電鍍成長鈀優選晶面,我們使用九個電鍍液配方,並分析鈀優選晶面形貌及其在半電池的ORR活性。在這些配方中,配方C溶液0.1 mM PdCl2& 1.0 mM HCl& 0.1 M NaClO4,為擁有合成最佳活性的ORR觸媒,而優選成長主要歸因於有足夠的ClO4-陰離子和氯化鈀完全的溶解在電鍍溶液中。藉由X光繞射晶相(XRD)和穿透式電子顯微鏡(TEM)分析電沈積的鈀粒子,結果顯示優選成長Pd (110)會形成一個三角形的塔且具有尖端的形貌,(111)和(100)晶面也在結構中;利用配方C可製備出高比例Pd(110)晶面,使用旋轉電極以伏安法測試其有高的ORR活性,並利用旋轉環盤電極以伏安法測試其含有較少的雙氧水產率;經由XRD分析此(110)晶面比例估計佔有15%,而雙氧水的產率在0.6 V (vs. RHE)電位下少於5%。
以碳纖維支撐具優選Pd (110)晶面的ORR觸媒作為燃料電池的陰極,提供了較便宜且較佳的活性;當和Nafion®NRE- 212膜組裝成膜電極組的氫氧燃料電池時,還額外增加PTFE和碳混和的疏水層處理,此層對於水管理是必須的,且與電池功率的關係相當重要。當疏水層厚度大約200 m和鈀觸媒負載量2.38 mg cm-2,所量測得最大功率332 mW cm-2,對比於疏水層厚度約100 m在相同白金負載量下,其量測得最大功率264 mW cm-2。

ABSTRACT
In this work, we synthesize the carbon fiber supported Pd catalysts of preferential crystal plane and investigate their performance in catalyzing oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). The recipe, used in the earlier study, has been extended to electrodeposit Pd nanocrystals on carbon fibers of the carbon paper for gas diffusion. The Pd-loaded carbon paper is subsequently integrated into the membrane-electrode assembly of a H2-O2 fuel cell and tested its performance.
To explore the preferential growth of Pd in electrodeposition, nine representative recipes of the Pd electroplating solution are used and analyzed in terms of the Pd morphology, preferential plane, and the ORR activity in a half cell. Among them, the recipe C is identified to be the best for synthesizing the most active ORR catalyst, that is, an aqueous solution of 0.1 mM PdCl2, 1.0mM HCl, and 0.1M NaClO4. The preferential growth is mainly attributed to the ClO4- anion of adequate concentration, and total dissolution of PdCl2 in the electroplating solution. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) of the electrodeposited Pd particles indicate the preferential growth of Pd (110) results in a pointed tip of triangular pyramid, while the crystal planes of (111) and (100) also grow. The higher fraction of Pd(110) of the sample prepared with recipe C appears to be in line with the higher ORR activity measured with rotating disk electrode voltammetry, and less hydrogen peroxide yield measured using rotating ring-disk electrode voltammetry. The (110) fraction of this sample is estimated to be 15% using XRD, and H2O2 yield is evaluated less than 5% at 0.6 V (vs. RHE).
The carbon fiber supported ORR catalyst of preferential Pd (110) plane offers a cost-effective activity for the fuel cell cathode. When assembled into the Nafion®NRE-212 membrane electrode assembly of a H2-O2 cell, an extra hydrophobic layer of PTFE and carbon mixture is found necessary for water management, and equally important for the power of fuel cell. Quantitatively, the peak power measured is 332 mW cm-2 as the thickness of the hydrophobic layer is around 200 m with a Pd loading of 2.38 mg cm-2. In contrast, the peak power measured 264 mW cm-2 with the same Pt loading, when the hydrophobic layer thickness is approximately 100 m.
