Fuel cell

In the early 1990s, our group firstly conducted direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC) research in China, including direct methanol fuel cell electrocatalytic oxidation catalyst, catalytic electrode, catalytic electrode/proton exchange membrane complex, the system of direct alcohol fuel cell generator. Great progress has been made in the designing and assembly of anode catalysts, cathode catalysts, proton exchange membranes, and battery stacks. Systematic research has been carried out on the electrocatalytic oxidation catalyst, catalytic electrode and catalytic electrode/proton exchange membrane composite DMFC. We expanded the theory of pulse method of multi-step multi-electron process and applied the theory to the kinetic study of methanol on polycrystalline platinum electrode. The kinetic parameters were successfully obtained for the first time and consistent with theoretical data. The reliability of the expansion theory has been verified, and it has been affirmed by international scientists in the same field. We assembled a 100-watt level DMFC battery pack for the first time in China and cooperated with related companies to develop the first domestic bicycle powered by DMFC in China.

Water electrolysis

The anode catalysts of SPE water electrolysis are currently involving precious metal Ir, Ru-based catalysts, multi-element metal oxides, single-atom catalysts and non-precious metals. Ir, Ru-based catalysts have the highest activity and stability under acidic conditions. Adjusting the composition, morphology, structure, and carrier of the Ir, Ru-based catalysts is the main direction for the acidic OER catalysts development. Cathode catalysts mainly include Pt-based catalysts, non-Pt noble metal-based catalysts, single-atom catalysts and non-precious metal materials. Although the activity of precious metal catalysts such as Pt is high, the cost is very high as well. The development of non-precious metal materials with high activity and stability has become a hotspot in this research filed. We have developed in-situ semi-mosaic and surface rich clustering methods, in which Pt clusters are enriched and anchored to the surface of the PtRu catalyst, and the resulting catalyst loading is only 0.2%. Nevertheless, the performance is equivalent to that of a commercial 20% catalyst. We have also created a thermodynamically spontaneous single-atom interface doping method, through which we obtained a single-atom Pd-doped MoS2 hydrogen evolution catalyst. At the same time, the highly stable coordination mode of Pd enables the catalyst to be activated while its stability is also improved. The high-performance nano-catalyst material we developed was successfully applied to the electrolysis device of a hydrogen energy company, which greatly reduced its cost and increased market competitiveness. In another project, we integrated electrolysis units with a total power of 30kW. The electrolytic stack can work at a temperature range of -10°C to 80°C. After working for more than 3200 hours (about two years), the performance is still stable and there is no obvious attenuation.
