Description

Non-noble metal hydrogen evolution electrocatalyst based on synergistic modification and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of hydrogen production materials, and particularly relates to a non-noble metal hydrogen evolution electrocatalyst based on synergistic modification and a preparation method thereof.
Background
Hydrogen is a clean and efficient energy carrier, and the large-scale industrial application of the hydrogen is expected to fundamentally solve the global problems of energy shortage, environmental pollution and the like, so the development of the hydrogen energy utilization technology becomes the key point of the energy development strategy of all countries in the world. Promoting the industrial application of hydrogen energy requires constructing a complete hydrogen energy industrial chain including the links of hydrogen production, hydrogen storage, hydrogen fuel cells and the like, wherein the hydrogen production is a source. Among the existing hydrogen production methods, the electrolyzed water has the longest development history, but the coupling with the renewable energy sources can endow the electrolyzed water with brand new vitality. Water is dissociated by electric energy generated by primary energy sources such as solar energy, wind energy and the like, and chemical energy contained in the prepared hydrogen can be converted into electric energy again at a hydrogen terminal for the fuel cell. Therefore, the electrolyzed water provides a sustainable hydrogen production mode and a feasible scheme for the effective utilization of renewable energy sources. The electrolysis of water involves two half reactions of cathodic hydrogen evolution and anodic oxygen evolution, and the reduction of overpotential of the two reactions, namely the reduction of energy consumption of electrolysis reaction, is the core of the development of water electrolysis technology.
The noble metal platinum (Pt) has excellent hydrogen evolution reaction electrocatalytic activity and is known as the most representative cathode catalyst for the electrolysis of water, but the practical application of the noble metal platinum (Pt) is severely restricted by the overhigh material cost. In recent years, the development of efficient and inexpensive non-noble transition metal electrocatalysts has become a mainstream trend in water electrolysis technology. According to the literature report, compounds such as 3d transition metal sulfide, phosphide, nitride, carbide and the like have good hydrogen evolution reaction electrocatalytic activity, and the catalytic performance can be effectively improved by adopting modification strategies such as structural nanocrystallization and component modulation. However, in general, the non-noble transition metal electrocatalyst still generally has the defects of high overpotential of hydrogen evolution reaction, poor stability in long-term operation and the like, so the development of an advanced design concept of a cheap metal catalyst and a controllable synthesis method are still key problems to be solved in the process of promoting the practicability of the water electrolysis technology.

The metal phosphide precipitated in situ and an oxide matrix are combined to construct a synergistic catalytic active site, wherein the oxide promotes the dissociation of water molecules, the metal phosphide phase provides a hydrogen atom composite desorption active site, and the intrinsic catalytic activity of the synergistic catalyst is obviously higher than that of a single-phase metal phosphide catalyst; metal atom separation or partial reduction of metal cations occurs in the phosphating process, so that oxygen vacancies are generated in oxide lattices, and the generation of a large number of lattice defects is helpful for improving the conductivity of the base material; in addition, the precursor material of the hydrothermal synthesis contains crystal water or ammonia radicals, and dehydration or deamination reaction generated in the heating process can cause generation of a large number of nano-pores, so that the specific surface area of the material is further increased, and more active sites are provided.
