Description

Homologous metal gradient material and preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of transition metal materials, in particular to a homologous metal gradient material, a preparation method and application thereof.
Background
As fossil energy is increasingly exhausted, and with environmental degradation, more and more research is beginning to focus on green pollution-free energy to advance the sustainable development of society. Among various energy sources, hydrogen energy is clean, pollution-free, high in energy density and renewable, and is one of the energy carriers with the most practical application potential in the future. Unlike traditional fossil energy, there is no large amount of hydrogen available directly in nature, so large-scale and low-cost preparation of hydrogen is the primary problem to be solved in the current development of hydrogen energy. At present, the commonly used hydrogen preparation methods mainly comprise three methods of high-temperature pyrolysis of natural gas, a water gas method, a photolysis water method and an electrolysis water method. The natural gas and the water gas are subjected to pyrolysis to prepare hydrogen under the high-temperature condition, the process has high energy consumption, and carbon dioxide gas with greenhouse effect is inevitably generated in the hydrogen preparation process. If the reaction is incomplete, carbon monoxide gas is generated, and the carbon monoxide has poisoning effect on a noble metal catalyst in the high-temperature pyrolysis energy conversion device, so that the activity and stability of the catalyst are seriously affected. Compared with the method, the method for preparing the hydrogen by electrolyzing the water has mild preparation conditions, does not need to operate at high temperature, does not need to purify and separate the hydrogen, and has very high purity. Compared with other hydrogen production methods, the electrolyzed water has the best economic benefit and is a core technology for large-scale hydrogen production in the future.
The electrolytic water hydrogen production reaction consists of two half reactions, namely anodic Oxygen Evolution (OER) and cathodic Hydrogen Evolution (HER). The reactions of the cathode and anode differ among the different electrolytes, and thus the catalytic activity exhibited by the catalyst also varies. The higher the overpotential required for the half-reaction during electrolysis of water, the greater the loss of electrical energy required for the reaction. Therefore, it is necessary to provide a catalyst capable of reducing the reaction overpotential in the process to improve the water electrolysis efficiency. Currently, noble metal platinum (Pt) based catalysts have the best catalytic activity for cathodic hydrogen evolution reactions. The initial potential of the reaction of the platinum catalyst is close to 0V, and the platinum catalyst is the most ideal hydrogen evolution catalytic material. However, noble metal platinum resources are scarce and expensive, and are not suitable for being used as catalytic materials for large-scale hydrogen production reaction. Therefore, the method for simply developing and realizing the large-scale preparation of the catalyst applicable to the hydrogen production by water electrolysis has great significance in the field.

Therefore, the invention provides the homologous metal gradient material, and the preparation method and application thereof, wherein the preparation method is easy for large-scale production, the required raw materials and the process cost are low, and the prepared homologous metal gradient material has good catalytic activity and can achieve the purpose of improving the overall electrocatalytic hydrogen production performance.

The role of the chalcogen sources described above is to participate in the reaction to form transition metal dichalcogenides (TMD's). The transition metal dichalcogenide formed in the homologous metal gradient material is prepared based on in-situ derivatization of the transition metal material used, and the transition metal in the transition metal dichalcogenide is derived from the transition metal material used.

According to some embodiments of the invention, the method further comprises a process of treating with electrochemical cyclic voltammetry using the homogenous metal gradient material as a cathode. The electrochemical cyclic voltammetry is adopted to play a role in stripping, so that the electrochemical active area of the prepared homologous metal gradient material is increased, and more catalytic active sites are exposed.
Further in accordance with some embodiments of the invention, the electrochemical cyclic voltammetry is performed for a number of electrochemical cycles in the range of 1000 to 30000.

According to some embodiments of the invention, the sulfur source comprises any one of sulfur powder, sodium sulfide, carbon disulfide, and mercaptans.
According to some embodiments of the invention, the transition metal-metal oxide material is reacted with a chalcogen source, a reactant gas in step (2) by chemical vapor deposition. In the step (2), the metal oxide material in the transition metal-metal oxide material and the chalcogen source are subjected to a sulfuration reaction to form the transition metal dichalcogenide, so that the catalyst has excellent catalytic activity, and chalcogen elements in the transition metal dichalcogenide are distributed in the homologous metal gradient material in a gradient manner.
According to some embodiments of the invention, the temperature of the reaction in step (2) is 200-1000 ℃.

(3) Placing a porous tantalum-tantalum oxide sample in a chemical vapor deposition system, heating the temperature in a furnace to 900 ℃, heating the sulfur powder to 130 ℃ at the speed of 50 ℃/min, introducing argon in the heating process, keeping the temperature at 90sccm and 900 ℃ for 2 hours, stopping heating, and introducing argon and hydrogen in the constant temperature process, wherein the flow rates are 90sccm and 10sccm respectively. After the reaction is finished, argon and hydrogen are introduced, the flow rates are respectively 100sccm and 5sccm, simultaneously, a sulfur powder heater is removed, the cooling rate is controlled to be 2 ℃/min, and the furnace is naturally cooled to room temperature, thus obtaining tantalum-tantalum sulfide (Ta-TaS) 2 ) And (3) packaging the sample (namely the homologous metal (Ta) gradient material) under the inert atmosphere condition for later use.
(4) Putting the tantalum-tantalum sulfide sample (i.e. the homologous metal (Ta) gradient material) prepared in the step (3) into an electrode clamp to serve as a cathode, a graphite rod as an anode, an Ag/AgCl electrode as a reference electrode, and electrolyte of 0.5M H 2 SO 4 . The electrochemical cyclic voltammetry technology is adopted for treatment, the scanning speed is set to be 20 mV/min, and the scanning times are 15000 times. And after the treatment is finished, taking out the homologous metal (Ta) gradient material treated by the electrochemical cyclic voltammetry, cleaning with a large amount of deionized water, blow-drying by a nitrogen gun, and packaging under the inert atmosphere condition for later use.
Taking the porous metal tantalum foil obtained in the step (1) for appearance and structure characterization, wherein fig. 2 is an optical microscope image of the porous metal tantalum foil, fig. 3 is a pore size distribution diagram of the porous metal tantalum foil, and the pore size of the porous metal tantalum foil is about 10 mu m, and the pore size difference value is within +/-2 mu m.
Fig. 4 is an optical picture of the tantalum-tantalum sulfide sample (i.e., the homogeneous metal (Ta) gradient material) obtained in step (3), and the homogeneous metal (Ta) gradient material is characterized by using a scanning electron microscope, and as a result, as shown in fig. 5, the homogeneous metal (Ta) gradient material is a layered material.
Fig. 6 is a scanning electron microscope image of a homogeneous metal (Ta) gradient material obtained by electrochemical cyclic voltammetry treatment in step (4), showing that the tantalum-tantalum sulfide sample in step (3) can be subjected to electrochemical cyclic voltammetry treatment to peel off the layered structure, and the obtained material is a porous layered material. Further using a high resolution transmission electron microscope for characterization, fig. 7 is a high resolution transmission electron microscope image of the homologous metal (Ta) gradient material treated by the electrochemical cyclic voltammetry in step (4), and the image shows that the surface of the obtained homologous metal (Ta) gradient material is a high quality tantalum disulfide crystal.
The electrochemically cyclic voltammetry-treated homologous metal (Ta) gradient material (Ta-TaS) prepared in step (4) of this example 2 ) As working electrode, electrochemical tests were performed directly, all on a three-electrode system of electrochemical workstation (VMP 3). The graphite rod is used as a counter electrode, ag/AgCl is used as a reference electrode, the electrolyte is a dilute sulfuric acid solution with the concentration of 0.5mol/L, and all potentials are calibrated to a Reversible Hydrogen Electrode (RHE). The test was performed by using a linear sweep voltammetry at a sweep rate of 5mV/s and a platinum plate (Pt) as a reference under the same conditions as those described above, and the test results are shown in FIG. 8, when the current density was 2000mA cm -2 When the embodiment of the invention is used, the homologous metal (Ta) gradient material tantalum-tantalum sulfide (Ta-TaS) 2 ) Only 399mV was required for the overpotential of (C), while 710mV was required for the noble metal platinum under the same conditions. Homologous Metal (Ta) gradient Material (Ta-TaS) treated by electrochemical cyclic voltammetry according to this example 2 ) And a platinum (Pt) electrode, the hydrogen production performance by water electrolysis is shown as figure 9, the homologous metal (Ta) gradient material (Ta-TaS) 2 ) At 1000mA cm -2 Only 1.98V is needed for the current density, far superior to other transition metal based catalysts, the homologous metal (Ta) gradient material (Ta-TaS 2 ) The Ta metal substrate in the method has an electron injection effect on metal disulfide, so that the hydrogen adsorption energy of the metal disulfide can be further optimized, and the overall catalytic activity of the material is improved. FIG. 10 shows the gradient material of homologous metal (Ta) (Ta-TaS after electrochemical cyclic voltammetry treatment according to the present example 2 ) As a time-current stability curve for an electrolyzed water catalyst, its stability after a period of 50 hours of operationStill kept good, which shows that the TaS in the homologous metal (Ta) gradient material provided by the embodiment of the invention 2 The bonding ability with the substrate Ta is strong. The experiment shows that the homologous metal (Ta) gradient material (Ta-TaS) 2 ) Exhibits excellent electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution performance at high current density at 2000mA cm -2 The overpotential at the current density of (3) is only about 399mV, and the water electrolysis device is at 1000mA cm -2 The electric potential of only 1.98V is needed under the current density, which is far superior to other transition metal-based catalysts, and stable electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction can be realized under a lower external electric field.
Taking the Ta-TaS prepared in step (3) of this example 2 Samples, i.e., homogeneous metal (Ta) gradient materials not subjected to electrochemical cyclic voltammetry (0 cycles), were tested by linear sweep voltammetry in the same manner as the measurement conditions described above for FIG. 8 at 2000mA cm -2 The required overpotential under the current density of (3) is about 818mV, which is higher than the value after 15000 times of circulation, which shows that the homologous metal (Ta) gradient material which is not treated by the electrochemical cyclic voltammetry has certain catalytic hydrogen evolution performance, but the electrochemical cyclic voltammetry can strip the material, so that the electrochemical active area of the material is increased, more catalytic active sites are exposed, and the catalytic activity of the material is further improved.
Comparative effects example 1
Comparative example 1: the comparative example provides a glassy carbon-metal disulfide material, which adopts nonmetallic glassy carbon as a base material, grows metal tantalum disulfide on the base material, mixes sulfur powder and tantalum pentachloride according to the mass ratio of 2.5:1, and is placed in a quartz boat after grinding; sequentially placing a quartz boat filled with glassy carbon and a quartz boat filled with a mixture of a sulfur source and a tantalum source in a tube furnace with two temperature areas according to the direction from an air inlet to an air outlet, introducing nitrogen and/or a mixed gas of argon and hydrogen, setting the temperature of the temperature area of the mixture of the sulfur source and the tantalum source to be 230 ℃, setting the temperature of the temperature area of the glassy carbon to be 750 ℃, heating to a preset temperature at the speed of 50 ℃/min, and growing for 60min; and after the growth is finished, the mixed gas is closed, and the glassy carbon-metal disulfide material is obtained after cooling in a nitrogen and/or argon atmosphere.
The glassy carbon-metal disulfide material of comparative example 1 was tested by linear sweep voltammetry under the same conditions as in example 1, and the test results showed that the glassy carbon-metal disulfide material of comparative example 1 required an overpotential of 177mV at 10mA cm-2, as compared with the homologous metal (Ta) gradient material of the examples of the present invention (Ta-TaS 2 ) 110mV higher, thus requiring more charge to drive the reaction. And because the bonding force between the glass carbon and the metal disulfide is weak, the stability requirement under the heavy current cannot be met, so that the glass carbon-metal disulfide cannot realize the efficient and stable hydrogen evolution reaction under the heavy current density.
Example 2
This example provides a homogeneous metal (Ta) gradient material (Ta-TaS) 2 ) Other conditions and steps are the same as in example 1, except that step (1) is: and (3) taking a metal tantalum foil (2 multiplied by 2 cm), flattening by a tablet press, carrying out pore forming by a laser technology to form a porous metal tantalum foil, and carrying out pore forming in a region of 1 cm multiplied by 1 cm of the Ta foil, wherein the pore diameter is 50 micrometers. Sequentially ultrasonically cleaning ethanol and water, blow-drying by a nitrogen gun, and packaging under the inert atmosphere condition for later use.
FIG. 11 is a graph showing pore size distribution of the porous metal tantalum foil obtained in the step (1) of the present example, wherein the pore size of the porous metal tantalum foil sample is about 50 μm, and the pore size difference is within.+ -. 4. Mu.m.
FIG. 12 shows the electrochemical cyclic voltammetry-treated graded material (Ta-TaS) 2 ) Is measured when the current density is 2000mA cm -2 When the pore size is about 50 μm, tantalum-tantalum sulfide (Ta-TaS 2 ) About 475mV was required for the overpotential of (a) and the pore size was smaller in unit area than in example 1, so that the pore passage was also less in phase strain, and the finally produced homogeneous metal (Ta) gradient material (Ta-TaS 2 ) The electrochemically active area is relatively reduced.
Example 3
The present embodiment provides a transcendental electrochemical deviceHomologous Metal (Ta) gradient Material after chemical cyclic voltammetry treatment (Ta-TaS 2 ) Other conditions and steps are the same as in example 1, except that step (4) is: placing the tantalum-tantalum sulfide sample prepared in the step (3) into an electrode clamp to serve as a cathode, taking a graphite rod as an anode, taking an Ag/AgCl electrode as a reference electrode, and taking electrolyte of 0.5M H 2 SO 4 . The electrochemical cyclic voltammetry technology is adopted for treatment, the scanning speed is set to be 20 mV/min, and the scanning times are 5000 times.
