Description
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of electrodes, and particularly relates to an integrated oxygen reduction catalytic electrode and application thereof.
Background
With the deep development of marine research and marine resource development activities, marine equipment such as marine monitoring, marine engineering, marine military activities, marine lifesaving and undersea vehicles, particularly marine deep water exploration and resource development and production activities, are vigorously developed. Limited modes of shore power transmission by cables, power supply by ships or power supply by rechargeable batteries are far from meeting the increasingly prominent requirements of offshore activities, and deep development and ocean scientific research and production activities of people are greatly limited. People have been seeking for many years to produce a relatively long-acting independent power supply suitable for marine activities, under which condition seawater batteries with wide application prospects are produced, wherein the dissolved oxygen seawater batteries are developed rapidly.
The cathode of the dissolved oxygen seawater battery in the prior art is generally made of inert conductive materials such as graphite, carbon steel or copper alloy, and the electrifying density of the cathode is generally less than 1.5mA/cm2The catalytic efficiency of the seawater dissolved oxygen reduction is low, the reaction speed is slow, the stability is poor, the generation of electric energy is seriously inhibited, and the development, application and popularization of the seawater battery are also greatly restricted. At present, commercial seawater dissolved oxygen batteries, such as a battery disclosed in CN 109962247A (a preparation method of a platinum carbon fiber electrode deposited by high-efficiency oxygen catalytic activity), adopt a carbon fiber brush as the anode of a seawater battery. Because the carbon fiber electrode of the battery is not subjected to surface modification treatment, the carbon fiber electrode has few active functional groups and few electrocatalytic active sites, so that the electrocatalytic performance of dissolved oxygen in seawater in the cathode reduction reaction of the battery is very low, and the battery can only work under extremely low current density, so that the power density output characteristic of the battery is poor, and in order to meet the power requirement of the seawater battery, a large amount of carbon fiber materials are required, and the volume and the weight of the battery are inevitably increased.
The prior art solutions to the above mentioned problem of low carbon electrode activity are: the catalytic activity is improved by coating/supporting a catalyst on the surface of the conductive substrate material. However, the conventional manner of coating a catalyst onto a conductive substrate causes several problems: firstly, the catalyst layer is easy to be pulverized and peeled off under the influence of scouring of seawater flow or other factors, so that the effective catalytic area is reduced, and the discharge performance of the battery is further reduced; secondly, the binder is used as a catalytic inert component, occupies a certain volume of the catalyst layer, influences the effective contact area of the catalyst and the seawater, and reduces the volume energy density of the electrode due to the fact that the conductive substrate occupies a large proportion in the whole electrode; and thirdly, the thickness of the coating type catalyst layer is limited along with the progress of the discharge reaction, and when the surface layer catalyst begins to gradually deactivate or fails under the influence of biological fouling and the like, the discharge performance of the whole electrode is greatly influenced.
Based on this, the invention aims to provide an integrated oxygen reduction catalytic electrode aiming at the defects existing in the prior art, which adopts a high-density carbon network as a conductive carrier, has the advantages of high mechanical strength, rich and controllable pore structure, good conductivity and the like, and can simplify the electrode manufacturing process by directly using the integrated oxygen reduction catalytic electrode as a cathode. According to the invention, the structure and performance advantages of the integrated electrode are realized, the problem of material peeling is greatly avoided, and the performance stability is ensured; the adjustable pore structure ensures that good mass transfer and contact are also realized inside the reactor; the volume and the mass of the inactive components are reduced, and the energy density of the volume and the mass is improved; because of the integrated structure, the inner layer can still work well under the condition of outer layer inactivation, and the service life is prolonged. In addition, the oxygen reduction catalyst is loaded in the pore channel of the catalyst, so that the effective active area of the cathode oxygen reduction reaction can be further increased, the reduction reaction of cathode dissolved oxygen can be further accelerated, and the cathode discharge performance can be improved. The invention is mainly applied to seawater, can be expanded to various water body environments such as salt water, salt water lakes and the like, and has wide practical prospect.

The conductive substrate material is foam nickel, and the adhesive is Nafion.
The experimental data show that: the coated electrodes (comparative examples 1 and 2) had poor long-term stability and lower volumetric energy density than the integral electrodes (examples 1 and 2). The electrodes of the examples 1 and 2 and the comparative examples 1 and 2 and the AZ31B magnesium alloy are assembled into the dissolved oxygen seawater battery, the battery numbers are S1, S2, D1 and D2, and the relevant data of the parameter indexes such as the initial potential, the half-wave potential, the catalytic life and the like of the catalyst of each battery are basically consistent. At 0.5mA cm-2After discharging for 10h at the current density of (1.4V), the discharge voltage of the battery D1 assembled by the coated electrode gradually decays from about 1.4V to below 1.2V, and the discharge voltage of D2 gradually decays from 1.45V to below 1.2V, while the voltage of the integrated electrode of the corresponding embodiment is basically kept unchanged, and S1 and S2 have small decays less than 0.03V. Meanwhile, in the aspect of volume specific power, the volume specific power of the integrated electrode is larger, wherein S1 can reach 15.2 mW.L-1S2 is 16.0 mW.L-1Are all significantly greater than the power density of the coated electrode (D1 is 7.9 mW. L)-1(ii) a D2 is 8.2 mW.L-1). All four are superior to 2.7 mW.L of SWB1200 commercial dissolved oxygen seawater cell developed by Kongsberg Simrad based on carbon fiber brush cathode-1(Sea-water battery for subsea control systems, Journal of Power Sources,1997,65: 253-. The test is carried out in a low dissolved oxygen environment, the test environment is natural seawater (seawater comes from Bohai sea area near Tianjin) with the dissolved oxygen content of 1mg/L, and the result shows that: the integrated electrode can still keep stable volume specific power for a long time, and S1 reaches 7.3 mW.L-1S2 reaching 7.8 mW.L-1The initial power density is similar to that of the coating electrode, and the volume specific power is kept at 7.0 mW.L after the continuous test for one week-1Above, the stability is significantly superior to that of a coated electrode. Wherein the initial volume specific power of the coated electrode was 6.7 mW.L in D1-1D2 is 6.9 mW.L-1After one week of discharge, the voltage rapidly decays to 3.4 mW.L-1D1 was attenuated to 3.1 mW.L-1D2 attenuation to 3.4 mW.L-1The attenuation rate is as high as more than 50%.
The electrode is expanded to a 3.5% sodium chloride brine system, the integrated electrode still keeps good dissolved oxygen response capacity, and the volume specific power can reach 7.8 mW.L-1. The decay rate after one week of discharge is less than 5%.
The high-density carbon-copper nanoparticle catalysts prepared according to examples 3 and 4 showed lower catalytic activity than the iron catalysts prepared in examples 1 and 2. Under the condition of oxygen saturation, the half-wave potential of the catalyst in example 1 in the natural seawater is 4.92V, the half-wave potential of the catalyst in example 2 in the natural seawater is 5.45V, and the half-wave potential of the material prepared in example 3 is only 3.78V, and the half-wave potential of the material prepared in example 4 is 3.94V.
Comparing examples 1 and 2 with examples 9 to 12 and examples 13 to 16, it can be seen that the iron, cobalt and nickel metal catalysts all show high ORR catalytic activity, and all of them maintain high volume specific power under low oxygen condition, and the activity of the catalyst treated by microwave is better than that of the catalyst obtained by heat treatment. The activity of the iron and cobalt catalysts prepared by the same preparation method is slightly superior to that of the nickel catalyst, and specific catalyst index parameters are shown in the following table. In the low oxygen test, the initial volume specific power of example 9 obtained under different heat treatment conditions was 7.0 mW.L-1Example 10 shows 6.1 mW.L-1Example 11 is 6.7 mW.L-1Example 12 is 6.7 mW.L-1(ii) a The initial volume specific power of example 13 obtained under different microwave irradiation conditions was 7.3 mW.L-1Example 10 shows 6.4 mW.L-1Example 11 is 6.7 mW.L-1Example 12 is 6.8 mW.L-1。
Experimental data show that different catalyst precursors have a greater impact on the resulting catalyst composition. The activity of the transition metal monatomic catalyst is better than the activity of the nano-particles, and the activity of the metal catalyst is better than the activity of the oxide and the sulfide of the same metal.
The specific catalyst parameters for each example are shown in the following table:
description of the drawings: the catalytic performance parameters (including half-wave potential and initial potential) of the catalyst ORR are tested under the condition that natural seawater is saturated by oxygen (a test seawater sample is from a Bohai offshore sea area near Tianjin). The testing device is a three-electrode testing system, the working electrode is a rotating disc electrode coated with a catalyst, the counter electrode is a metal platinum sheet, and the reference electrode is an Ag/AgCl electrode. ② the low oxygen volume specific power is tested under the oxygen content with the dissolved oxygen content of 1mg/L (the test seawater sample comes from the Bohai offshore area near Tianjin). Anode electrode of 2X 0.5cm3AZ31 magnesium alloy ingots, cathodes, prepared according to the examples described above.
The experimental result shows that the integrated electrode has obvious effect on maintaining the long-term discharge stability, and is mainly embodied in the following three layers: firstly, the high-density porous carbon network highly-confined/anchored catalyst reduces the voltage loss caused by the stripping of cathode materials; secondly, the volume energy density of the whole body is improved because the inactive components such as a binder and a conductive substrate are not required to be added; thirdly, the chemical stability of the carbon material enables the integrated electrode to be different from a coating type electrode, the corrosion resistance of a conductive substrate and the corrosion resistance of a catalytic material are separately considered, and the electrode preparation process is simplified. Meanwhile, the catalytic material prepared by the microwave method shows better stability than the catalytic material subjected to heat treatment, and the ultra-fast temperature rise can be realized in the microwave irradiation process, so that the metal precursor is quickly pyrolyzed, a catalyst which is more uniformly distributed and has a smaller size is formed, and more catalytic active sites are exposed.
The invention is mainly applied to seawater, can be expanded to various water body environments such as salt water, salt water lakes and the like, and has wide practical prospect.
