Description
本発明は、燃料電池用電極触媒、燃料電池用電極組成物および燃料電池に関し、詳しくは、触媒活性成分を二酸化ケイ素に担持してなる燃料電池用電極触媒、特に固体高分子型燃料電池に用いるに好適な電極触媒、この電極触媒と導電性物質とプロトン伝導性物質とを含む電極組成物、およびこの電極組成物を用いて電極を構成してなる燃料電池に関する。 The present invention relates to an electrode catalyst for a fuel cell, an electrode composition for a fuel cell, and a fuel cell. More specifically, the present invention is used for an electrode catalyst for a fuel cell in which a catalytic active component is supported on silicon dioxide, particularly a solid polymer fuel cell. The present invention relates to a suitable electrode catalyst, an electrode composition comprising the electrode catalyst, a conductive material and a proton conductive material, and a fuel cell comprising an electrode using the electrode composition.
燃料電池は、化学反応を利用して、その化学エネルギーを直接電気エネルギーに変換する発電システムである。現状の石油や天然ガスを燃焼し、その熱エネルギーを電気エネルギーに変換するシステムに比べて、発電効率が高く、NOxやSOxが排出されないため、次世代のクリーンエネルギーとして注目されている。燃料電池は、電解質の種類からリン酸型燃料電池、溶融炭酸型燃料電池、固体高分子型燃料電池、固体酸化物型燃料電池に分類することができる。そのなかでも固体高分子型燃料電池は、他の燃料電池より低い温度領域において発電させることができ、小型化が容易なことから自動車用電源、家庭用電源、携帯用電源など種々の用途に適用できる可能性がある。 A fuel cell is a power generation system that uses chemical reaction to directly convert chemical energy into electrical energy. Compared to the current system that burns oil and natural gas and converts the thermal energy into electric energy, it has high power generation efficiency and does not emit NOx or SOx. Fuel cells can be classified into phosphoric acid fuel cells, molten carbonate fuel cells, polymer electrolyte fuel cells, and solid oxide fuel cells according to the type of electrolyte. Among them, the polymer electrolyte fuel cell can generate power in a lower temperature range than other fuel cells, and is easy to downsize, so it can be applied to various applications such as automobile power supplies, household power supplies, and portable power supplies. There is a possibility.
固体高分子型燃料電池では、プロトン伝導性を示す固体高分子型電解質膜(例えば、米国デュポン社製のナフィオン膜)の両側に触媒とプロトン伝導性高分子電解質とを含んだ触媒層とその外面に通気性および導電性を併せ持つガス拡散層(例えば、ポリテトラフルオロエチレン(PTFE)などで撥水処理を行ったカーボンペーパーやカーボンクロス等)が設けられている。触媒層とガス拡散層とを合わせて電極と呼び、固体高分子電解質膜の両側に燃料極および空気極を設けた電極−固体高分子型電解質膜を基本単位とする。燃料極に水素やメタノールなどの燃料を、空気極に酸素や空気を供給し、燃料またはガスと固体高分子電解質膜と電極の3相界面において反応を進行させることにより電気を取り出すことができる。 In a polymer electrolyte fuel cell, a catalyst layer containing a catalyst and a proton conductive polymer electrolyte on both sides of a solid polymer electrolyte membrane exhibiting proton conductivity (for example, Nafion membrane manufactured by DuPont, USA) and its outer surface A gas diffusion layer having both air permeability and conductivity (for example, carbon paper or carbon cloth subjected to water repellent treatment with polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) or the like) is provided. The catalyst layer and the gas diffusion layer are collectively referred to as an electrode, and the basic unit is an electrode-solid polymer electrolyte membrane in which a fuel electrode and an air electrode are provided on both sides of the solid polymer electrolyte membrane. Electricity can be taken out by supplying a fuel such as hydrogen or methanol to the fuel electrode and supplying oxygen or air to the air electrode and allowing the reaction to proceed at the three-phase interface of the fuel or gas, the solid polymer electrolyte membrane, and the electrode.
燃料極および空気極に使用される電極触媒としては、導電性担体としてのカーボンブラックに白金などの貴金属を担持したものが主流となっている。しかし、一般の方法によりカーボンブラックに貴金属を担持した電極触媒を用いて得られる燃料電池は、電池特性にばらつきがあって、その実用化にはなお問題が残されている。そこで、このような問題を解決することを目的として、二酸化ケイ素(SiO2)を主成分とする担体に白金またはその合金を担持して電極触媒とし、これを導電性物質とプロトン伝導性物質とを組み合わせて電極とすることが提案されている(特許文献1)。 As the electrode catalyst used for the fuel electrode and the air electrode, the one in which a noble metal such as platinum is supported on carbon black as a conductive carrier has become the mainstream. However, fuel cells obtained using an electrode catalyst in which a noble metal is supported on carbon black by a general method have variations in cell characteristics, and problems still remain in practical use. Therefore, for the purpose of solving such problems, platinum or an alloy thereof is supported on a carrier mainly composed of silicon dioxide (SiO 2 ) to form an electrode catalyst, which is composed of a conductive substance, a proton conductive substance, It has been proposed to form an electrode by combining (Patent Document 1).
本発明の目的は、二酸化ケイ素に白金などの触媒活性成分を担持してなる電極触媒であって、より実用性の高い燃料電池を製造可能な、燃料電池用、特に固体高分子型燃料電池用の電極触媒、さらにはこの電極触媒を用いてなる燃料電池用電極組成物および燃料電池を提供することにある。 An object of the present invention is an electrode catalyst in which a catalytic active component such as platinum is supported on silicon dioxide, and can be used to produce a more practical fuel cell, particularly for a fuel cell, particularly for a polymer electrolyte fuel cell It is another object of the present invention to provide an electrode composition for a fuel cell and a fuel cell using the electrode catalyst.
本発明者らの研究によれば、二酸化ケイ素のなかでもBET比表面積および吸油量が特定範囲にあるものを担体として用い、これに触媒活性成分としての白金またはその合金を特定量担持すると上記目的が達成できることがわかった。また、触媒活性成分として、白金またはその合金と、セリウム、ランタンおよびタンタルから選ばれる少なくとも1種の元素の酸化物とを二酸化ケイ素に担持することによっても上記目的が達成できることがわかった。本発明は、これらの知見に基づいて完成されたものであり、次のとおりのものである。
(1)白金またはその合金をBET比表面積100〜500m2/g、吸油量1.6〜3.7mL/gの二酸化ケイ素に50〜80質量%の割合で担持してなることを特徴とする燃料電池用電極触媒。
(2)さらにセリウム、ランタンおよびタンタルから選ばれる少なくとも1種の元素の酸化物を担持してなる上記(1)の燃料電池用電極触媒。
(3)白金またはその合金と、セリウム、ランタンおよびタンタルから選ばれる少なくとも1種の元素の酸化物とを二酸化ケイ素に担持してなることを特徴とする燃料電池用電極触媒。

(5)上記(1)、(2)または(3)の燃料電池用電極触媒を用いて得られる燃料電池。
According to the researches of the present inventors, when silicon dioxide having a BET specific surface area and an oil absorption amount in a specific range is used as a support, and a specific amount of platinum or an alloy thereof as a catalyst active component is supported on the carrier, the above object is achieved. It was found that can be achieved. It has also been found that the above object can also be achieved by supporting platinum or an alloy thereof and an oxide of at least one element selected from cerium, lanthanum and tantalum on silicon dioxide as catalytic active components.

The evaluation of the catalyst performance was carried out by a rotating electrode method that is effective for the evaluation of a solid polymer fuel cell electrode catalyst and has a good correlation with the fuel cell performance.
<Evaluation method>
10 mg of the catalyst and 10 mg of carbon black (Vulcan XC72 manufactured by Cabot) were added to 1 mL of a 5% Nafion solution (manufactured by Aldrich) and sufficiently dispersed by ultrasonic waves to prepare a catalyst paste. Next, this catalyst paste was applied onto a glassy carbon electrode and sufficiently dried to immobilize the catalyst layer on the rotating glassy carbon electrode to obtain a test electrode. The catalyst performance is as follows: methanol is added to a 1N perchloric acid aqueous solution maintained at 25 ° C. so that the concentration is 1 mol / L, and the test electrode is immersed in this solution to form a working electrode, and a counter electrode is a platinum wire. Using a reversible hydrogen electrode (RHE) as an electrode, the relationship between the methanol oxidation current and the electrode potential was measured by a potential regulation method, and 0.7 V vs. This was done by comparing the oxidation current values in RHE. The higher the oxidation current value, the better the catalyst performance. The results are shown in Table 1. The methanol oxidation current value was a value obtained by dividing the measured oxidation current value by the weight of the noble metal contained in the catalyst applied on the glassy carbon electrode (oxidation current value per noble metal mass).

From the graph of FIG. 1, it can be seen that the methanol oxidation current value significantly decreases at the oil absorption amounts of 1.6 mL / g and 3.7 mL / g.
