Description

Ferronickel double-metal hydroxide/foamed nickel catalyst based on ferric trichloride/urea eutectic solvent, and preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to a nickel-iron bimetal hydroxide/foamed nickel catalyst based on an iron trichloride/urea eutectic solvent, a preparation method and application thereof, belonging to the technical field of energy materials.
Background
At present, the excessive use of traditional energy sources represented by petroleum and coal causes serious environmental pollution, and meanwhile, the problems of the risk of energy consumption, environmental pollution, energy shortage and the like attract wide attention of people. For this reason, development of green energy is required to meet human needs and reduce environmental pollution. Among them, hydrogen energy has the advantages of cleanness, high efficiency and the like, and electrocatalysis water cracking is one of important methods for producing hydrogen. However, in the electrocatalytic water splitting process, the theoretical voltage required for water splitting is 1.23V due to the presence of Oxygen Evolution Reaction (OER), greatly limiting the application of electrolyzed water. Therefore, it is desirable to reduce the voltage required to produce hydrogen, and therefore to produce hydrogen for use in the electrolysis of urea. Electrolysis of urea (UOR, CO (NH)2)2+H2O===N2+3H2+CO2) The theoretical voltage required is only 0.37V; more particularly, the urea electrolysis can also treat urea wastewater, and has higher application value.
The research of electrocatalysts has been hot for more efficient electrolysis of water and urea. The nickel-iron double metal hydroxide (NiFe-LDH) is a common electrolytic water oxygen evolution catalyst, and has the advantages of good catalytic performance, easy preparation, adjustable structure and the like; the preparation method thereof includes a hydrothermal method, an electrodeposition method, an immersion method and the like. Chinese patent document CN108283926A discloses a method for preparing a layered ferronickel double metal hydroxide grown in situ on nickel foam; the method is characterized in that nickel nitrate hexahydrate, ferric nitrate nonahydrate, urea, ammonium fluoride and foamed nickel are used as main raw materials, the nickel nitrate hexahydrate, the ferric nitrate nonahydrate, the urea and the ammonium fluoride are added into water and mixed evenly, then the processed foamed nickel is added, and finally the nickel-based catalyst is prepared through hydrothermal reaction. The method adopts a hydrothermal method, so that the energy consumption is high, and the preparation time is long; the obtained catalyst used as an electrocatalytic oxygen production catalyst improves the OER catalytic performance under an alkaline condition to a certain extent, but the OER catalytic performance still needs to be further improved.
Meanwhile, the current reports based on double metal hydroxides in the aspect of urea electrolysis are still blank.
The eutectic solvent is a two-component or three-component eutectic mixture formed by combining hydrogen bond acceptors (such as quaternary ammonium salt) and hydrogen bond donors (such as amide, carboxylic acid, polyalcohol and other compounds) in a certain stoichiometric ratio, and the freezing point of the eutectic mixture is obviously lower than that of pure substances of each component. The most common eutectic solvent is choline chloride/urea, choline chloride/glycerol and the like. As an ionic liquid analogue, the eutectic solvent has the advantages of the ionic liquid, and simultaneously, the eutectic solvent also has the unique advantages of easy preparation, good biocompatibility, low toxicity and the like. Therefore, the eutectic solvent is widely applied to the preparation of inorganic nano materials. However, no report is available for preparing nickel-iron double metal hydroxide (NiFe-LDH) by using the eutectic solvent.

And then taking out the foamed nickel (the surface of the foamed nickel is loaded with NiFe-LDH), washing the foamed nickel for 3 times respectively by using ethanol and water, and drying the foamed nickel for 12 hours in vacuum at room temperature to obtain the NiFe-LDH/foamed nickel catalyst.
Comparative example 1
A preparation method of a nickel-iron bimetal hydroxide/foamed nickel catalyst comprises the following steps:
(1) ferric chloride hexahydrate is dissolved in water, and then the mixture is heated for 30min at 60 ℃ in an oil bath to obtain a mixed solution (the volume of the mixed solution is the same as that of the eutectic solvent obtained in example 1, and the mass of the ferric chloride hexahydrate is the same as that of example 1).
(2) The nickel foam was pretreated as described in example 1 to obtain pure nickel foam.
(3) Preparation of NiFe-LDH/foamed nickel catalyst: and (2) soaking the pure foamed nickel in the mixed solution obtained in the step (1) to react for 30s at 60 ℃. And then taking out the foamed nickel (the surface of the foamed nickel is loaded with the ferronickel double metal hydroxide), washing the foamed nickel for 3 times respectively by using ethanol and water, and drying the foamed nickel for 12 hours in vacuum at room temperature to obtain the ferronickel double metal hydroxide/foamed nickel catalyst (NiFe-LDH _ W/NF for short).
The powder loaded on the surface of the foamed nickel in the catalyst of the comparative example is taken, and the X-ray powder diffraction pattern of the powder is shown in figure 1. As can be seen from FIG. 1, the powder supported on the surface of the nickel foam was NiFe-LDH, but there was a peak of nickel in addition to the peak of NiFe-LDH, and it was shown that nickel was derived from nickel foam, indicating that the skeleton of nickel foam was destroyed.
The scanning electron micrograph of NiFe-LDH in the catalyst prepared in this comparative example is shown in FIG. 2 b. As shown in FIG. 2b, the microstructure of the NiFe-LDH loaded on the surface of the foamed nickel is a nano-sheet structure, and the structure is not uniform.
The catalyst obtained in the comparative example was used in the oxidation of urea according to the method of example 1 of the present invention; as can be seen from FIG. 3a, the current density was 10mA/cm2The required potential is 1.37V, which is higher than that of the catalyst in the embodiment 1, and the catalyst prepared by using the eutectic solvent has better performance of electrocatalytic oxidation of urea.
The catalyst obtained in the comparative example is applied to oxygen evolution by electrolyzing water according to the method of the invention in the example 1; as can be seen from FIG. 3b, the current density was 10mA/cm2The required potential is 1.41V, which is higher than that of the catalyst in the embodiment 1, and the catalyst prepared by using the eutectic solvent has better performance of oxygen evolution in water electrolysis by electrocatalysis.
From the above comparative experiments, it can be seen that the electrocatalytic performance of the catalyst obtained in example 1 of the present invention is better than that of the catalyst obtained in comparative example 1, which illustrates the superiority of the low co-solvent, which is advantageous for preparing a catalyst with high catalytic activity.
Comparative example 2
The nickel foam is pretreated according to the method of the step (2) in the example 1, and pure nickel foam (NF for short) is obtained.
The NF obtained in the comparative example was applied to urea oxidation and electrolytic water oxygen evolution by the method of the invention example 1. As can be seen from FIGS. 3a and 3b, the electrocatalytic performance of pure nickel foam is negligible regardless of whether urea is oxidized or electrolyzed water is used for oxygen evolution. The catalytic active component in the catalyst prepared by the invention is the nickel-iron bimetal hydroxide, wherein the foamed nickel mainly plays the role of a carrier, and the nickel-iron bimetal hydroxide can effectively reduce the potential and has higher electrocatalytic activity.
