Description

High-efficiency bifunctional oxygen electrocatalyst with heterostructure and preparation and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of catalysts, and relates to a high-efficiency bifunctional oxygen electrocatalyst with a heterostructure, and preparation and application thereof.
Background
In recent years, the energy crisis and environmental pollution have driven and accelerated the inevitable shift from fossil fuels to clean renewable energy, and the development of renewable energy storage and conversion devices, in which fuel cells and metal-air batteries play an important role in such energy conversion, is at a premium. Research has found that Oxygen Reduction Reaction (ORR) during discharge of oxygen electrode and Oxygen Evolution (OER) during charge involve multiple electron/proton transfer processes, the kinetics are very slow, which largely hampers the commercialization and large-scale application of these new devices, and large amounts of catalyst are usually required to accelerate the reaction. Currently, the noble metals platinum and ruthenium/iridium-based oxides are considered to be the best ORR and OER catalysts, respectively, however noble metal catalysts are scarce in storage, costly, poor in durability and single in function and cannot catalyze both reactions simultaneously. Therefore, there is a need to design and develop a non-noble metal bifunctional oxygen electrocatalyst that is highly efficient and inexpensive.
The heteroatom-doped carbon-loaded bimetallic alloy (CoFe, NiCo and FeNi) composite material can have certain selectivity for different catalytic reactions due to unique double active sites and rich valence conversion, and in addition, the electronic structure of the composite material can be effectively modified through interaction between metals, so that the surface energy of the catalyst is adjusted, and the binding energy of hydroxyl radicals and the surface of a catalytic material is optimized. The synthesis method of the existing bimetallic alloy catalyst mainly comprises the following steps: (i) metal salts and nitrogen-rich small molecule precursors are pyrolyzed at high temperature on a carbon substrate. Dicyandiamide and melamine are commonly used carbon and nitrogen precursors for preparing the nitrogen-doped graphitized carbon-coated bimetallic nanoparticle oxygen electrocatalyst, the one-step solid pyrolysis method is simple and easy to implement, but the uncontrollable size and structure of the nanoparticles greatly limit the catalytic activity of the material. (ii) Pyrolyzing the metal organic framework. Traditional MOF derived materials have predominantly simple MOF crystals as single precursors, however most simple MOFs are mononuclear metals, and the integration of two or more metals into a single MOF has become a problem. At present, the bimetallic alloy composite material is generally prepared by a double MOF assisted pyrolysis method. For example, Zhang et al, B.Y. guan and X.W.D.Lou, Small,2019,15,1805324, have added complexity to the experiment by selecting Fe-based MIL-101 and Co-based ZIF-67 as precursors for the synthesis of Co-Fe alloy/NC catalysts. In addition, in order to preserve the porosity and integrity of the MOF structure, pyrolysis is usually selected at a lower temperature, but the catalytic material synthesized in this way often has the problems of low graphitization degree, reduced interaction between the active metal nanoparticles and the conductive carbon layer, and the like, and the activity and stability of the material are greatly reduced.
Therefore, how to further improve the stability and catalytic activity of the catalyst is particularly necessary. The present invention has been made in view of the above problems.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention aims to provide a high-efficiency bifunctional oxygen electrocatalyst with a heterostructure, and preparation and application thereof. P-phenylenediamine with good inclusion is adopted as a ligand, and bimetal is introduced into an organic compound by virtue of the double-solvent effect of n-hexane and methanol. After high-temperature carbonization, the target product still maintains the original sheet structure of the precursor and generates a thin graphitized carbon layer, thereby increasing the stability of the catalyst. More interestingly, during the ion exchange process, some porous structures are generated on the nano-sheets, so that the specific surface area of the material is increased, more active sites are exposed, and the catalytic activity of the material is facilitated.
The purpose of the invention can be realized by the following technical scheme:
one of the technical schemes of the invention provides a high-efficiency bifunctional oxygen electrocatalyst with a heterostructure, which is formed by loading cobalt/cobalt-iron alloy heterogeneous nanoparticles on a nitrogen-doped porous carbon nanosheet.
The second technical scheme of the invention provides a preparation method of a high-efficiency bifunctional oxygen electrocatalyst with a heterostructure, which is characterized by comprising the following steps:
(1) taking soluble cobalt salt and p-phenylenediamine as raw materials, dispersing the raw materials in a solvent, uniformly mixing, heating for reaction, cooling, separating and drying to obtain a cobalt-based metal organic compound precursor (namely a Co-PPD precursor);
(2) dispersing the cobalt-based metal organic compound precursor into n-hexane, adding a soluble iron salt methanol solution, stirring to introduce iron ions into the cobalt-based metal organic compound precursor, centrifugally drying the obtained product, and carbonizing to obtain the target product, namely the high-efficiency bifunctional oxygen electrocatalyst Co/CoFe @ NC.
Further, in the step (1), the soluble cobalt salt is cobalt nitrate, and the solvent is methanol.
Further, in the step (1), the mass ratio of the soluble cobalt salt to the p-phenylenediamine is (0.3-1.2): (0.8-1.2), the volume of the methanol is 5-20mL for every 0.8-1.2g of p-phenylenediamine.
Further, in the step (1), the heating reaction temperature is 90-140 ℃, and the reaction time is 6-10 h.
Further, in the step (2), the soluble ferric salt is ferric nitrate.
Further, in the step (2), the volume of the added n-hexane is 10-20mL, the concentration of ferric nitrate is 10-25mg/L, and the dropping volume is 140-.
Further, in the step (2), the stirring time is 0.5-1.5 h.
Further, in the step (2), the carbonization temperature is 750-. Furthermore, the heating rate is 1-5 ℃/min.
Further, a methanol solution of a soluble iron salt was added dropwise to n-hexane.
According to the invention, cobalt nitrate and p-phenylenediamine are respectively used as a metal source and a ligand, and the strong binding capacity of an amino functional group at a special position in the p-phenylenediamine to metal ions is utilized in the hydrothermal synthesis process to form Co-PPD. If the amount of p-phenylenediamine is too large in this step, it itself polymerizes into spheres, and if it is too small, the metal ions cannot coordinate to form a complex. And then, iron ions are hydrolyzed to generate hydrogen ions, a part of cobalt is dissolved out to carry out ion exchange, and the iron ions are successfully introduced into the precursor complex. In the process, methanol is required to be used when preparing the ferric nitrate solution, and other solvents are dropwise added into n-hexane to cause the agglomeration of Co-PPD; the iron ions are uniformly dispersed in the solution by the ultrasonic dispersion during the dripping process. Finally, high-temperature carbonization is carried out to convert the precursor into a nitrogen-doped porous carbon nanosheet modified by cobalt/cobalt-iron alloy heterogeneous nanoparticles, and the carbonization temperature is too high, so that the nanoparticles are agglomerated and the active sites are reduced; when the temperature is too low, the graphitization degree of the catalyst is not strong, so that the conductivity of the catalyst is poor.
The third technical scheme of the invention provides application of the high-efficiency bifunctional oxygen electrocatalyst with a heterostructure, which is characterized in that the oxygen electrocatalyst is used in ORR and OER under alkaline conditions.
The contact area between the electrolyte and the catalyst is increased by the flower-shaped nanosheet structure, and the conductivity and stability of the catalyst are enhanced by the coating of the graphitized carbon layer. The method is low in cost and easy to operate, and the product has good oxygen reduction (ORR) and Oxygen Evolution (OER) electrocatalytic activity in alkaline electrolyte and has potential application value in the fields of energy conversion and storage.
Compared with the prior art, the invention has the following advantages:
(1) the structure is stable. Conventional simple MOFs would choose high temperature pyrolysis in order to enhance the conductivity of the catalyst, but would typically result in structural collapse. The Co/CoFe @ NC catalyst prepared by the invention maintains a precursor Co-PPD nanoflower structure, increases the contact area of a catalytic material and an electrolyte, and can generate cation vacancies in the process of ion exchange, and a large number of mesopores are left on the nanosheets after high-temperature pyrolysis, so that the specific surface area of the material is increased, and the permeation of the electrolyte and the transmission of ions in the reaction process are facilitated, and more catalytic active sites are released.
(2) And (5) interface construction. The Co/CoFe heterostructure constructed by the invention effectively promotes charge transfer, and the interface of the heterostructure can be used as a main catalytic active site to accelerate the dynamics of ORR and OER.
