Description

Self-supporting Al 3 Ni 2 Ni catalyzed hydrogen evolution electrode and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of hydrogen production by water electrolysis, and particularly relates to a self-supporting hydrogen production deviceAl (aluminum alloy) 3 Ni 2 Ni catalyzed hydrogen evolution electrode and its preparation method.
Background
Energy is an important foundation for the development of the world and socioeconomic performance. With the progressive exhaustion of traditional fossil energy and the continuous aggravation of environmental pollution, the development and utilization of clean renewable energy has become a necessary choice for solving the energy crisis in all countries of the world. Hydrogen has the characteristics of high energy density and no pollution of reaction products, and is the most ideal energy carrier and substitute of fossil energy. Fossil fuel hydrogen production represented by methane steam reforming is the most economical hydrogen production method in industry at present, but the method still depends on fossil fuel and generates a large amount of carbon dioxide gas, and the energy crisis and the environmental problems caused by the energy crisis are not fundamentally solved.
Because the raw material used for producing hydrogen by electrolyzing water is water, the water is a renewable resource with rich earth content, is considered as the cleanest hydrogen production mode, and the purity of the produced hydrogen is higher. The electrodes adopted in the current industrial water electrolysis hydrogen production are mainly Rany Ni, low carbon steel and other materials, and have higher hydrogen evolution overpotential, so that higher electric energy loss is caused, and the large-scale industrial application of the water electrolysis hydrogen production is severely limited. Noble metal materials such as Pt and the like have high electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution activity, are optimal hydrogen evolution catalysts, but have low content in the crust, are expensive, and are difficult to popularize and apply in large scale. Therefore, research and development of the high-efficiency hydrogen evolution catalytic electrode is a key for developing the water electrolysis hydrogen production technology.
Among the non-noble metal electrode materials, ni-based materials exhibit higher hydrogen evolution catalytic activity. At present, ni-based catalytic materials are usually prepared by a solution hydrothermal synthesis method and a high-temperature solid-phase reduction method, the forms of the Ni-based catalytic materials are mostly powder, the Ni-based catalytic materials are required to be fully dispersed in a solvent, and then the Ni-based catalytic materials are fixed on a current collector by using binders such as Nafion solution, polyvinylidene fluoride organic solution and the like to prepare the cathode. The electrode has the following defects in the use process: (1) The catalyst has limited loading capacity, the binder can reduce the electron transmission capacity of the electrode material, and meanwhile, partial active sites of the catalyst can be coated by the binder, so that the catalytic performance of the catalyst is reduced; (2) In the electrolysis process, the active catalytic material is easy to fall off from the surface of the electrode, so that the stability of the hydrogen evolution catalytic electrode is poor; and (3) the electrode preparation process is complicated and the manufacturing cost is high.
Through searching, related patent documents disclose a preparation method for obtaining a hydrogen evolution electrode with relatively high electrode catalytic activity and stability, wherein the catalyst loading is improved, and the use of a binder is avoided or reduced. For example, chinese patent application No.: 201910824643.0, filing date: the invention is named as 2019, 9 and 2 days: a preparation method of a nickel-phosphorus/nickel phosphide-carbon cloth three-dimensional self-supporting hydrogen evolution electrode material. The preparation method in the application comprises the steps of firstly growing nickel hydroxide on the carbon cloth subjected to acid dipping modification treatment through a hydrothermal reaction, then carrying out phosphating treatment on the nickel hydroxide to obtain a nickel phosphide-carbon cloth three-dimensional self-supporting material, and then electrodepositing a nickel phosphorus alloy on the nickel phosphide-carbon cloth to prepare the nickel phosphorus/nickel phosphide-carbon cloth three-dimensional self-supporting electrode material with excellent hydrogen evolution performance without additional bonding and electrocatalytic. The electrode material prepared by the application can improve the catalytic activity and stability of the prepared electrode to a certain extent, but the preparation process is relatively complex and takes a long time.
