Detailed Description
The present invention will be described in detail with reference to specific examples.
Example one preparation example of a cobalt-based electrocatalyst
In a beaker, 3 mmol of Co (NO) at room temperature3)2•6H2Stirring O and 15 mmol urea in a beaker with 30ml water solution for 30 minutes, transferring to a polytetrafluoroethylene lining, putting a clean nickel sheet, and carrying out hydrothermal reaction at constant temperature of 120 ℃ for 6 hours; after reacting for 6 hours, naturally cooling to room temperature, washing, centrifuging and drying to obtain the product, namely the precursor. And putting the product into a muffle furnace, and calcining and reacting for 1 hour at the constant temperature of 350 ℃ in argon to obtain the CoO/NF.
As shown in FIG. 1, the resulting product was prepared in accordance with CoO Standard card (JCPDS: number 48-1719) as a pure phase CoO electrocatalyst. As shown in FIG. 2, the prepared CoO is a nanorod with an average length of 3 μm.
Example two: electrolytic cell construction and test examples
The test procedure was as follows:
as shown in FIG. 3, the CoO/NF (NF: Ni plate) electrocatalyst prepared in example one was used as a cathode and an anode, and Oxygen Evolution Reaction (OER) and Hydrogen Evolution Reaction (HER) tests were performed in 1MKOH and 1MKOH +0.5M glycerol, respectively, with a constant voltage applied.
As can be seen from fig. 4, the co/NF electrocatalyst is used as the cathode and anode to effectively perform the water electrolysis reaction with the relative hydrogen production efficiency, and the addition of glycerol not only promotes the oxidation current density of water but also promotes the hydrogen production efficiency. For anodic oxidation reactionIn water electrolysis systems, the oxidation reaction of water requires a higher voltage of 0.497V to reach 50mA cm-2While the glycerol electrolysis system can reach 50mA cm only by 0.283V-2. For the cathodic reaction, HER of the electrolytic water system and the glycerol electrolytic system respectively need voltages of-1.478V and-1.389V to reach 50mA cm-2. To reach 50mA cm-2The cell voltage of the conventional electrolytic water system needs 1.975V, while the cell voltage of the glycerin electrolytic system is 1.672V, which is reduced by 0.303V. This is because the glycerol oxidation reaction greatly promotes the Hydrogen Evolution Reaction (HER) instead of the slow four-electron OER reaction. Therefore, the glycerol electrolytic cell has excellent hydrogen production efficiency.
