Description

Iron compound particle, the method for the manufacture iron compound particle and the use iron The oxidation catalyst of compound particles
Technical field
The present invention relates to the method for the iron compound particle with β-FeOOH crystalline phases, the manufacture iron compound particle And use the oxidation catalyst of the iron compound particle.
Background technology
The solution of the problem of as on global environment and exhausted fossil fuel, notice has been concentrated on hydrogen The utilization and carbon dioxide fixation of energy are technical.Firstly, it is desirable at normal temperatures and pressures that water decomposition is anti-for the water-splitting of hydrogen and oxygen Cleaning energy production method should be used as with the carbon dioxide reduction reaction that water is used as to electron source.These reactions are inevitably required Water should carry out oxidation reaction:
2H2O→O2+4H++4e-, 1.23V (relative to RHE)
However, because reaction efficiency is low, it is therefore desirable to promote the catalyst of water oxidation reaction.Urged as such water oxygen Agent, including the oxide of cobalt oxide, ruthenium-oxide, yttrium oxide etc. is conventionally known.
Iron compound such as Fe is utilized in addition, also reporting recently2O3Or FeOOH water oxidation catalyst.If however, all Such as Fe2O3Or FeOOH iron compound is unbodied, then this causes oxidation catalyst to have compared with other oxide catalysts The problem of having low activity.
Therefore, W.D.Chemelewski etc., J.Mater.Chem A (materials chemistry magazine A), 2014, the 2nd phase, the The amorphous FeOOH doped with Ni elements has been proposed as oxidation catalyst in page 14957~14962 (non-patent literatures 1).
