Description

Cu-doped cobalt hydroxide nanosheet array structure material and preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of nano material preparation methods and electrocatalysis application, and particularly relates to a Cu-doped cobalt hydroxide nanosheet array structure material and a preparation method and application thereof.
Background
At present, hydrogen is considered to be the most attractive energy source to replace traditional fossil fuels due to its high energy density and environmental protection. Hydrogen production by water electrolysis has been considered a sustainable and promising approach, but due to the slow kinetics of anodic Oxygen Evolution (OER) a considerable potential is usually required to produce hydrogen continuously. And in the process of full water electrolysis, H2And O2At the same time, explosive H may be formed2/O2And (3) mixing. Therefore, there is a great need to develop a feasible process for efficiently, safely and massively producing hydrogen using an easier-to-perform oxidation reaction instead of OER.
The theoretical potential of the Urea Oxidation Reaction (UOR) (0.37V vs. rhe) is much smaller than that of the OER (1.23V vs. rhe), and therefore UOR has the potential to replace the slow reacting OER. Moreover, the full-urea electrolysis provides a wide prospect for repairing the waste water rich in urea while saving energy and producing hydrogen. However, due to the inherent slowness 6e of the anode UORThe transfer process, such that full urea electrolysis still faces the challenges of low activity and high overpotential. Therefore, efforts are being made to develop efficient and earth-resource-rich UOR catalyst materials.
Much research is currently being devoted to the development of various nickel-based materials for use as UOR catalysts, with the nickel-based materials being believed to oxidize the Ni produced in the electrochemical process3+Is the active site of UOR. And some nickel-based materials also have good HER catalytic performance and can be successfully applied to the electrocatalytic hydrogen production of the total urea. Considering Co2+Oxidation to Co3+Is lower than Ni2+Oxidation to Ni3+Should have greater UOR electrocatalytic potential. Cobalt-based materials, however, are rarely used in UOR and all-urea electrolysis processes, and their catalytic activity is to be further improved.

Whereas, after the original electrolyte solution was replaced with fresh electrolyte solution at 7h, the anode current density was significantly restored to 98% of the original (0h) current density. Similarly, the current density was still able to recover 94% of the original current density after a second replacement of fresh electrolyte solution at 14 h.
