Abstract

The present specification relates to a carrier-nanoparticle complex, a method for preparing the same, and a catalyst comprising the same.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A method for preparing a carrier-nanoparticle complex in which core-shell nanoparticles are supported on a carrier, the method comprising:
forming a first solution comprising an aqueous solvent, a precursor of a first metal, a precursor of a second metal, and the carrier;
forming a core portion comprising the first metal and the second metal by adding a first reducing agent to the first solution;
adjusting a pH of the first solution to 8 or more between the forming of the first solution and the forming of the core portion;
forming a second solution by adding a Pt precursor to the first solution after the forming of the core portion;
forming a shell portion comprising Pt on at least a portion of a surface of the core portion by adding a second reducing agent to the second solution; and
adjusting a pH of the second solution to 8 or more between the forming of the second solution and the forming of the shell portion,
wherein the first metal is Pd, and the second metal is cobalt (Co), iron (Fe), or copper (Cu),
wherein the core-shell nanoparticles have a particle diameter of 1 nm or more and 10 nm or less,
wherein at least a portion of a surface of the carrier is coated with a polymer electrolyte which comprises one or more functional groups comprising nitrogen;
wherein the forming of the shell portion is carried out at a temperature of 4° C. to 35° C.;
wherein the forming of the core portion is carried out at a temperature of 50° C. or more and 75° C. or less, and
wherein the first reducing agent and the second reducing agent each are at least one selected from the group consisting of NaBH 4 , NH 2 NH 2 , LiAlH 4 , and LiBEt 3 H.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the precursor of the first metal is a nitrate (NO 3 − ), a halide, a hydroxide (OH − ) or a sulfate (SO 4 − ) of the first metal, and
the precursor of the second metal is a nitrate (NO 3 − ), a halide, a hydroxide (OH − ) or a sulfate (SO 4 − ) of the second metal.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the Pt precursor is represented by the following Chemical Formula 1:
PtA m B n   [Chemical Formula 1]

in Chemical Formula 1,
A is (NH 3 ), (CH 3 NH 2 ), or (H 2 O),
B is NO 3 − , NO 2 − , OH − , F − , Cl − , Br − , or I − ,
m is 2, 4, or 6, and
n is an integer of any one of 1 to 7.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the polymer electrolyte comprises a polyallylamine hydrochloride (PAH)-based material or a polyethylene imine (PEI)-based material.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the aqueous solvent is water.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first solution further comprises a stabilizer.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein a molar ratio of the precursor of the first metal to the precursor of the second metal is 1:1 to 1:3.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein a mole number of the Pt precursor is 0.5 times to 2 times a mole number of the precursor of the first metal.
