Abstract

$Pt_{10}$/C, $Pt_9Mn_1$/C, $Pt_7Mn_3$/C electrocatalysts for Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cells(PEMFCs) were synthesized by reduction with HCHO and their activity as a oxygen reduction reaction(ORR) was examined at half cell. The electrochemical oxygen reduction reaction(ORR) was studied by using a glaasy carbon electrode through cyclic voltammetric curves(CV) in a 1 M $H_2SO_4$ solution. The ORR activities of $Pt_9Mn_1$/C were higher than $Pt_{10}$/C, $Pt_7Mn_3$/C. Also potential-current curves of $Pt_9Mn_1$/C at 0.9, 0.8, 0.7, 0.6V for 5minutes respectively were higher than $Pt_{10}$/C, $Pt_7Mn_3$/C. Physical characterization was made by using x-ray diffraction(XRD) and transmission electron microscope(TEM). The TEM images of $Pt_9Mn_1$/C, $Pt_{10}$/C catalysts showed homogenous particle distribution with particle size of about 2.7 nm, 3 nm respectively and then the XRD results showed that the crystalline structure of the synthesized catalysts are seen FCC structure.

기존 Pt/C 전극촉매 제조시 사용되는 Pt를 일정량의 Mn으로 대체하여 PtMn/C 전극촉매를 제조하였다. 환원제로 포름알데히드(HCHO)를 사용하여 화학환원법으로 $Pt_{10}$/C, $Pt_9Mn_1$/C, $Pt_7Mn_3$/C 촉매를 제조하였으며 반쪽 전지(half cell)에서 순환전압전류와 대시간 전류를 측정하였다. $Pt_9Mn_1$/C촉매가 $Pt_{10}$/C, $Pt_7Mn_3$/C촉매보다 높은 산소환원반응(oxygen reduction reaction)을 보였으며 0.9, 0.8, 0.7, 0.6V에서 각각 5분동안 측정한 대 시간 전류측정에서 $Pt_9Mn_1$/C가 $Pt_{10}$/C, $Pt_7Mn_3$/C촉매보다 높은 활성을 나타냈다. 물리적 특성은 XRD, TEM분석을 통하여 알아보았으며 입자의 평균 크기는 $Pt_9Mn_1$/C, $Pt_{10}$/C가 각각 2.7 nm, 3 nm를 나타냈다. XRD분석을 통하여 Pt의 FCC(Face Centered Cubic)결정 구조를 확인할 수 있었다.
