In recent years, as the population continues to increase to cause rapid consumption of energy and the problem of environmental pollution due to the use of fossil fuels is becoming more serious, there is an urgent need to develop more environmentally friendly energy sources. Research has shown that hydrogen combustion per unit mass produces energy up to 2.5 times that of gasoline and water is the only product of hydrogen combustion, and hydrogen has proven to be an ideal energy carrier.
Electrocatalytic hydrolysis technology is of great interest because of its purity of product, high conversion efficiency, simple equipment, etc. The theoretical voltage of water decomposition at room temperature is 1.23V, but the catalytic reaction is easily influenced by temperature, electrolyte, electrode materials and the like, the actually required voltage is often higher than 1.23V, and the existence of overvoltage can cause excessive energy consumption. The high-efficiency catalyst can reduce the reaction energy barrier and accelerate the electrocatalytic hydrolysis process. At present, oxides of Pt, Ir and Ru are the most efficient electrocatalysts for hydrogen evolution reaction and oxygen evolution reaction respectively, however, the noble metal catalysts are high in price and are scarce in content, which greatly limits the commercial application of the noble metal catalysts.

A scanning electron microscope is used for shooting the prepared CuCoMn/CNFs electrolytic water catalytic material, and FIG. 6 is a scanning electron microscope image of CuCoMn/CNFs, and it can be observed from FIG. 6 that metal nanoparticles are uniformly loaded on carbon nanofibers after high-temperature carbonization of electrospun PAN fibers is carried out when ammonia gas is not introduced. FIG. 7 shows that CuCoMn/CNFs is 0.5M H2SO4Polarization curves for hydrogen evolution reaction and oxygen evolution reaction in (1). ByAs can be seen in FIG. 7, the current density was 10mA cm-2And overpotentials of hydrogen evolution reaction and oxygen evolution reaction of CuCoMn/CNFs are 270mV and 570mV (vs. RHE), which are far lower than that of CuCoMn/NCNTs electrolyzed water catalytic material obtained after ammonia gas treatment.
Comparative example 2
Step (1): referring to example 1, 0.15g of cobalt chloride and 0.15g of manganese acetate were added to 25g of a 12 wt% polyacrylonitrile solution in N, N-dimethylformamide; adding 0.15g of copper chloride and 0.15g of manganese acetate into 25g of N, N-dimethylformamide solution of polyacrylonitrile with the mass fraction of 12 wt%; adding 0.15g of copper chloride and 0.15g of cobalt chloride into 25g of N, N-dimethylformamide solution of polyacrylonitrile with the mass fraction of 12 wt%, and preparing a CoMn/PAN nano-fiber membrane, a CuMn/PAN nano-fiber membrane and a CuCo/PAN nano-fiber membrane respectively by an electrostatic spinning technology under the same conditions.
The same as the example 1 in the step (2), CoMn/NCNTs, CuMn/NCNTs and CuCo/NCNTs electrolytic water catalytic materials are respectively prepared.
The acidic hydrogen and oxygen evolution properties of the CoMn/NCNTs, CuMn/NCNTs, CuCo/NCNTs two-component metal electrolytic water catalytic materials were tested as in example 1.
The results are shown in Table 3.
TABLE 3 Performance results for two-element metal electrolyzed water catalyst materials
Figure BDA0002568909070000081
As can be seen from Table 3, the binary metal electrolytic water catalyst does not have both excellent hydrogen evolution activity and oxygen evolution activity compared to the CuCoMn/NCNTs electrolytic water catalyst material prepared in example 1.
