首先以尿素为原料通过高温煅烧得到氮掺杂碳纳米片(NCN),然后采用浸渍还原法制备了氮掺杂碳纳米片载钴催化剂(Co/NCN)。通过扫描电镜、透射电镜、选区电子衍射等手段对NCN进行表征,发现NCN具有片层结构。通过透射电镜、能量色散X射线光谱、X射线光电子能谱对Co/NCN进行了表征,结果表明制备了Co/NCN。利用循环伏安法(CV)、计时电流法(CA)对催化剂的电化学性能进行了测试,同时对比了Co/NCN催化剂与石墨烯载钴催化剂、氮掺杂石墨烯载钴催化剂的催化性能,结果表明,Co/NCN催化剂对硼氢化钠的电催化氧化具有最好的催化活性和稳定性,在直接硼氢化钠燃料电池领域具有广阔的应用前景。
First,nitrogen-doped carbon nanosheets (NCN) were prepared by calcination of urea.Then,the nitrogen-doped carbon nanosheets supported cobalt catalyst (Co/NCN) was prepared by impregnation reduction method.The morphology of NCN was characterized by scanning electron microscopy,transmission electron microscopy,selected area electron diffraction,and so on.It was found that NCN had lamellar structure.Co/NCN was characterized by transmission electron microscopy,energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy,and the results showed that Co/NCN was successfully prepared.The electrochemical performance of the catalyst was tested by cyclic voltammetry (CV) and chronoamperometry (CA),and the catalytic performance of the Co/NCN catalyst was compared with that of graphene supported cobalt catalyst and nitrogen doped graphene supported cobalt catalyst.The results shown that the Co/NCN catalyst had bestcatalytic activity and stability for the electrocatalytic oxidation of sodium borohydride(NaBH4),and had broad application prospects in the field of direct NaBH4 fuel cell.
