本発明の触媒は、金属元素M、炭素、窒素および酸素を含む触媒であり、ラマン分光法によって測定した際に、1340cm-1~1365cm-1および1580cm-1~1610cm-1にピークが観測され、前記金属元素Mがチタン、鉄、ニオブ、ジルコニウムおよびタンタルからなる群より選択される1種であることを特徴としている。このような触媒は、酸性電解質中や高電位で腐食せず、耐久性に優れ、高い酸素還元能を有し、かつ白金と比べ安価である。前記金属元素Mが、チタン、鉄、ニオブ、またはジルコニウムであると、材料の価格の点から考えて産業上より有用であり、チタンまたは鉄であると、触媒の酸素還元能がより高くなり、特に好ましい。
〔測定法(A):
電子伝導性粒子であるカーボンに分散させた触媒が1重量%となるように、該触媒およびカーボンを溶剤中に入れ、超音波で攪拌し懸濁液を得る。なお、カーボンとしては、カーボンブラック(比表面積:100~300m2/g)(例えばキャボット社製 XC-72)を用い、触媒とカーボンとが重量比で95:5になるように分散させる。また、溶剤としては、イソプロピルアルコール:水(重量比)=2:1を用いる。
上記酸素還元開始電位が0.7V(vs.NHE)未満であると、前記触媒を燃料電池のカソード用の触媒として用いた際に過酸化水素が発生することがある。また酸素還元開始電位は0.85V(vs.NHE)以上であることが、好適に酸素を還元するために好ましい。また、酸素還元開始電位は高い程好ましく、特に上限は無いが、理論値の1.23V(vs.NHE)である。
本発明の触媒の製造方法としては、特に限定されないが、例えば、気相法による触媒の製造方法、固相法による触媒の製造方法が挙げられる。
気相法による触媒の製造方法として、例えば、気相一段階反応法、気相二段階反応法が挙げられる。
気相一段階反応法は、例えば、図1aに示されるような反応器1を用いて、一段階で反応を完了させる方法である。反応を一段階でさせる場合、例えば、炭化水素ガス、窒素化合物ガスおよび酸素化合物ガスを窒素ガス等で希釈したガスが流れている雰囲気中に、金属元素Mを含有する化合物のガスを窒素ガス等で希釈したガスを供給し、金属元素Mを含有する化合物のガス、炭化水素ガス、窒素化合物ガスならびに酸素化合物ガスを、600~1600℃で反応させることによって、目的とする触媒を得ることができる。気相一段階反応法による触媒の製造方法は、一段階で反応を完了させて触媒を得ることができるので、工程管理上有利であり、好ましい。
気相二段階反応法は、例えば、図2に示されるような反応器2および反応器3を用いて、反応を二段階で進行させる方法である。二段階で反応させる場合、例えば、一段階目において、炭化水素ガス、窒素化合物ガスを窒素ガス等で希釈したガスが流れている雰囲気中に、金属元素Mを含有する化合物のガスを窒素ガス等で希釈したガスを供給し、金属元素Mを含有する化合物のガス、炭化水素ガスおよび窒素化合物ガスを反応させることによって、金属元素M、炭素および窒素が化合した物質を製造することが可能である。さらに、二段階目において、一段階目で得られる反応生成物を捕集せずに、直接二段階目の反応器3に供給し、酸素化合物ガス、例えば水と反応させることにより、目的とする触媒を得ることが可能である。
気相法による触媒の製造方法に用いる金属元素Mを含有する化合物のガスの原料としては、例えば、金属元素Mのハロゲン化物、塩化チタン、塩化鉄、塩化ニオブ、塩化ジルコニウム、塩化タンタル、臭化チタン、臭化鉄、臭化ニオブ、臭化ジルコニウム、臭化タンタル、ヨウ化チタン、ヨウ化鉄、ヨウ化ニオブ、ヨウ化ジルコニウム、ヨウ化タンタル、金属アルコキシド、例えばチタンメトキシド、鉄メトキシド、ニオブメトキシド、ジルコニウムメトキシド、タンタルメトキシド、チタンエトキシド、鉄エトキシド、ニオブエトキシド、ジルコニウムエトキシド、タンタルエトキシド、チタンプロポキシド、鉄プロポキシド、ニオブプロポキシド、ジルコニウムプロポキシド、タンタルプロポキシド、チタンブトキシド、鉄ブトキシド、ニオブブトキシド、ジルコニウムブトキシド、タンタルブトキシド等が挙げられる。この中でも原料の入手の容易さから、塩化チタン、塩化鉄、塩化ニオブ、塩化ジルコニウム、塩化タンタルを用いることが好ましい。また、外気と遮断しながら原料の供給量を制御する場合、常温で液体である原料、例えば、塩化チタン又は上記の金属アルコキシドを用いると、供給量の制御が容易であり好ましい。
固相法による触媒の製造方法は、例えば、前記金属元素Mを含有する化合物、炭素源となる原料、窒素源となる原料を含んだ混合物を固相で加熱することにより、金属元素Mを含有する金属炭窒化物を得る工程(以下「固相工程1」とも記す。)と、金属元素Mを含有する金属炭窒化物を、酸素ガスを含む不活性ガス中で加熱する工程(以下「固相工程2」とも記す。)とを含んでいる。
固相工程1は、前記金属元素Mを含有する化合物、炭素源となる原料、窒素源となる原料を含んだ混合物を固相で加熱することにより、金属元素Mを含有する金属炭窒化物を得る工程である。
次に、上記固相工程1で得られた金属炭窒化物を、酸素ガスを含む不活性ガス中で加熱することにより、金属炭窒酸化物を得る工程について説明する。
本発明の触媒は、白金触媒の代替触媒として使用することができる。本発明の触媒は、例えば、燃料電池用触媒、排ガス処理用触媒または有機合成用触媒として使用でき、特に燃料電池用触媒として有用である。
