Description

Electrolytic cell device suitable for in-situ X-ray diffraction test
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of X-ray diffraction (XRD) testing devices, in particular to an electrolytic cell reaction chamber suitable for in-situ XRD representation and a testing method thereof.
Background
In the electrochemical reaction, along with the catalytic reaction, the electrode material is often changed in structure, and the change is directly related to the activity and catalytic efficiency of the catalyst; however, the method is limited by the lack of the current material characterization technology and the lack of systematic understanding of the catalytic reaction mechanism, so that the research on aspects like Li battery, water decomposition, nitrogen fixation and the like cannot realize precise design and regulation of the required catalytic material; therefore, how to know the change of the catalyst components and the structure and how to observe the structure-activity relationship between the change and the catalytic performance of the catalyst components and the structure-activity relationship can help to promote the understanding of researchers on the catalytic reaction kinetics and provide theoretical knowledge for aspects of related research and development technologies.
X-ray diffraction (XRD) is an important characterization means for analyzing the microstructure and chemical composition of a material, and the XRD is used for analyzing the diffraction pattern of the material, so that information such as the components of the material, the structure or the form of atoms or molecules in the material and the like can be easily obtained; especially, currently, combining various characterization means with in situ techniques will help to dynamically study the changes in physical and chemical properties of materials under real-time reaction conditions; for example, an in-situ XRD electrolytic cell generated by combining X-ray diffraction with in-situ and electrochemical testing techniques is a very important analytical means in the current energy storage field, which can monitor the composition and structural changes of the material under in-situ electrochemical conditions in real time.
Although the combination of the XRD characterization means and the electrochemical testing technique can effectively resolve the reaction process of the catalytic reaction, XRD has a considerable difficulty in collecting the X-ray diffraction signal of the electrode material in the aqueous electrolyte solution. Because the penetration depth of laboratory XRD in a solid is only micrometer level, a working electrode is tested in an electrolyte, a sample immersed in an aqueous electrolyte solution is irradiated by XRD, X rays are absorbed by the aqueous electrolyte solution to be attenuated, the generated diffracted X ray signals are correspondingly attenuated and even lost, the dynamic change process of a catalytic material structure in the aqueous electrolyte solution is difficult to effectively test, the accuracy of a measurement result is low, and the characterization failure is even caused.
