Description

Preparation method of manganese cobaltate nanocrystal/titanium carbide nanosheet composite electrode catalyst
Technical Field
The invention relates to a preparation method of an electrode catalyst, in particular to a preparation method of a manganese cobaltate nanocrystal/titanium carbide nanosheet composite electrode catalyst.
Background
With the increasing demand for energy and the increasing problem of environmental pollution, the search for clean and sustainable energy has become an urgent problem for human society. Hydrogen, as an efficient, clean and environmentally friendly energy source, has attracted the eye of more and more scientists. However, hydrogen is not naturally occurring and must be prepared by a process. The electro-catalysis hydrogen evolution has the advantages of high efficiency, no pollution and wide raw material water source, is favored by people, and is very suitable for industrially preparing hydrogen. At present, the solid catalyst with the best electro-catalytic hydrogen evolution reaction activity is noble metal platinum, but the metal platinum has the defects of rare storage in the earth crust, high price, easy poisoning and unsuitability for large-scale commercial production. Therefore, the development of cheap and efficient non-noble metal hydrogen evolution electrode catalyst has great significance.
Manganese cobaltate (MnCo)2O4) The mixed transition metal oxide is a typical mixed transition metal oxide with a spinel structure, has unique characteristics of a multi-valence transition metal oxide, has electrocatalytic performance generally superior to that of a single transition metal oxide, and is widely used for research in the field of electrode catalysis. However, the poor conductivity of manganese cobaltate limits the application of manganese cobaltate in the field of electro-catalytic hydrogen production to a certain extent. The introduction of high-conductivity materials as matrix materials reduces the charge transfer resistance of the composite catalyst, and improves the electrocatalytic activity of the composite system, which is a good solution. Titanium carbide (Ti)3C2Tx) The titanium-carbon composite material is a newly discovered two-dimensional layered material, and has excellent conductivity, unique metal performance and catalytic performance due to the stacked structure of the titanium atomic layer and the carbon atomic layer; can be used as an ideal conductive carrier material and can also be used as a catalyst auxiliary agent. So far, in the research focus of electrocatalytic hydrogen production, there are many researches on titanium carbide and its compound or manganese cobaltate as hydrogen evolution catalyst (ATTANAYAKE N H, ABEYWEERA S C, THENEUWARA A C, et al2 on Ti3C2(MXene)as an improved HER catalyst[J].J Mater Chem A,2018,6(35):16882-9.ZHANG X,SHAO B,SUN Z,et al.Platinum Nanoparticle-Deposited Ti3C2Tx MXene for Hydrogen Evolution Reaction[J].Industrial&Engineering Chemistry Research,2020,59(5):1822-8.DU X,FU J,ZHANG X.Construction of a MnCo2O4@NiyMx(S and P)crosslinked network for efficient electrocatalytic water splitting[J].Crystengcomm,2019,21(47):7293-302.LIN Y,YANG Z,CAO D,et al.Electro-deposition of nickel-iron nanoparticles on flower-like MnCo2O4 nanowires as an efficient bifunctional electrocatalyst for overall water splitting[J]Crystegcomm, 2020,22(8):1425-35.), however, few studies have been reported on the complex of a complex transition metal oxide with titanium carbide as the subject of study, particularly the complex of titanium carbide with manganese cobaltate.
Chinese patent publication No. CN107855128A discloses a method for preparing a cobalt manganese sulfide electrocatalyst, comprising the following characteristic steps: i. weighing cobalt salt, manganese salt and urea, dissolving the weighed cobalt salt, manganese salt and urea in water, and stirring to obtain a uniformly mixed solution; ii. Placing the solution and the carrier in a reaction kettle together for hydrothermal reaction to obtain supported cobalt manganese carbonate; and iii, placing the supported cobalt manganese carbonate into an aqueous solution containing a vulcanizing agent for a vulcanization reaction to obtain the supported cobalt manganese sulfide. However, it is obvious from a scanning electron microscope image that irreversible migration, agglomeration and stacking phenomena occur between the carrier carrying the cobalt manganese sulfide electrocatalyst and the cobalt manganese sulfide particles, which cause the reduction of the active surface area of the catalyst and the coverage of partial reaction active sites, thereby reducing the performance of the catalyst; but also results in a large overpotential in the hydrogen evolution reaction. Therefore, the development of a new preparation method, the increase of the specific surface of the composite system and the improvement of the electrocatalytic activity of the composite material have important significance.
Disclosure of Invention
In order to solve the defects in the prior art, the invention provides a preparation method of a manganese cobaltate nanocrystal/titanium carbide nanosheet composite electrode catalyst; the manganese cobaltate nanocrystals uniformly grow on the two-dimensional titanium carbide nanosheets, the high electrocatalytic performance of manganese cobaltate and the excellent conductivity and stability of the titanium carbide nanosheets are simultaneously exerted, the synergistic enhancement effect between the manganese cobaltate nanocrystals and the titanium carbide nanosheets is realized, the prepared electrode catalyst is large in the number of catalytic active sites, good in circulation stability and excellent in catalytic performance of the composite electrode catalyst.
A preparation method of a manganese cobaltate nanocrystal/titanium carbide nanosheet composite electrode catalyst comprises the following steps:
s1, preparing titanium carbide nanosheet dispersion liquid;
s2, adding a cobalt salt solution and a manganese salt solution into the titanium carbide nanosheet dispersion liquid obtained in the step S1, and uniformly stirring to obtain a precursor solution, wherein the total adding amount of the titanium carbide nanosheets, the cobalt element and the manganese element is 1-10: 1-10, wherein the addition amounts of the cobalt element and the manganese element are 2: 1;
s3, carrying out hydrothermal reaction on the precursor solution obtained in the step S2, then carrying out centrifugal washing and freeze drying to obtain the manganese cobaltate nanocrystal/titanium carbide nanosheet composite electrode catalyst.
According to the invention, titanium aluminum carbon is used for selectively etching aluminum to generate two-dimensional accordion-shaped titanium carbide nanosheets, two-dimensional single-layer or few-layer carbon nitride nanosheets are generated through ultrasonic stripping, a manganese cobaltate/titanium carbide mixture precursor is prepared, the addition ratio of the manganese cobaltate/titanium carbide mixture precursor and the titanium carbide precursor is strictly controlled, and the manganese cobaltate is combined on the surface of a titanium carbide substrate through a hydrothermal reaction. Wherein, the two-dimensional titanium carbide nanosheet material is used as a substrate, and the manganese cobaltate nanoparticles uniformly grow on the titanium carbide nanosheets, so that the particles are small in size; the abundant functional groups on the surface of the titanium carbide can promote the nucleation growth of the manganese cobaltate, effectively disperse the manganese cobaltate nanoparticles, prevent the manganese cobaltate nanoparticles from aggregating and growing up, increase active sites in unit area and greatly improve the effective utilization rate of the manganese cobaltate. And the manganese cobaltate nanoparticles are positioned among the titanium carbide nanosheets and are crosslinked with each other to form an open 3D-like network structure, so that the stacking phenomenon of the titanium carbide nanosheets is reduced, and the specific surface area of the catalyst is increased. Secondly, the titanium carbide has strong conductivity, and can make up the defect of insufficient conductivity of the manganese cobaltate as a carrier, and improve the overall electron mobility of the composite material, thereby improving the electrocatalytic efficiency of the manganese cobaltate. In addition, the titanium carbide has the specific catalytic activity of metal, and the synergistic enhancement effect between the manganese cobaltate and the titanium carbide can further improve the electrocatalytic performance of the compound.
Further, in step S2, the addition amount of the titanium carbide nanosheet to the total amount of the cobalt element and the manganese element is 1 to 5: 1 to 5.
Further, in step S2, the addition amount of the titanium carbide nanosheets to the total amount of the cobalt element and the manganese element is 1: 0.73. the titanium carbide nanosheet is high in content and low in total addition of cobalt and manganese, so that although the dispersibility and conductivity of manganese cobaltate can be enhanced, due to the fact that the titanium carbide nanosheet is poor in electrocatalytic performance or low in manganese cobaltate content, catalytic active sites are reduced, and catalytic activity is reduced; correspondingly, the content of the titanium carbide nanosheet is low, the total addition amount of the cobalt element and the manganese element is high, although the catalytic sites are increased, the agglomeration of a large amount of manganese cobaltate is increased, so that the effective catalytic active sites are reduced, and meanwhile, the conductivity of the manganese cobaltate is poor, so that the catalytic activity is also reduced. Therefore, through a large number of experiments, most preferably, the addition amount of the titanium carbide nanosheet to the total of the cobalt element and the manganese element is 1: 0.73.
further, in step S2, the cobalt salt is cobalt nitrate, cobalt acetate, cobalt sulfate, cobalt acetate, or cobalt chloride; the manganese salt is manganese nitrate, manganese acetate, manganese sulfate, manganese acetate or manganese chloride. The method is not limited to the cobalt salt and the manganese salt provided by the invention, as long as manganese cobaltate can be generated in the titanium carbide nanosheet dispersion liquid, and uniform growth of manganese cobaltate nanoparticles on the titanium carbide nanosheets can be realized.
Further, in step S1, the concentration of the titanium carbide nanosheet dispersion is 0.1 to 5 g/L.
Further, in step S2, the stirring conditions are: magnetic stirring at 0-100 deg.C for 1-20 h.
Further, in step S3, the hydrothermal reaction conditions are: the reaction time is 2-48h at 60-200 ℃.
Further, in step S3, the number of times of centrifugal washing is 1 to 10, and the drying pressure during freeze drying is 10 to 200 Pa.
Further, in step S1, the preparation of the titanium carbide nanosheet dispersion specifically includes the steps of:
p1, slowly adding commercial titanium-aluminum-carbon powder into a mixed solution of concentrated hydrochloric acid and lithium fluoride, and magnetically stirring for 1-60h at the temperature of 20-80 ℃;
and P2, adding deionized water into the mixed solution obtained in the step P1, carrying out ultrasonic treatment for 1-60min, then carrying out centrifugal water washing until no supernatant exists in the solution, and removing the precipitate to obtain the titanium carbide nanosheet dispersion.
The method is characterized in that a mixed solution of lithium fluoride and hydrochloric acid is adopted to etch an aluminum atomic layer in the aluminum titanium carbide to generate two-dimensional accordion-shaped titanium carbide nanosheets, the specific surface area of the formed layered structure is obviously increased compared with that before etching, and then two-dimensional single-layer or few-layer carbon nitride nanosheets are generated through ultrasonic stripping. In the etching process, the Al atomic layer is replaced by electronegative functional groups such as-OH, -F and ═ O, and the electronegative functional groups positioned on the surface can play a role in stabilizing the manganese cobaltate nanoparticles, so that the activity of the manganese cobaltate nanoparticles is prevented from being reduced due to agglomeration in the catalysis process.
The invention achieves the following beneficial technical effects:
1. according to the preparation method of the manganese cobaltate nanocrystal/titanium carbide nanosheet composite electrode catalyst, the prepared electrode catalyst is large in specific surface area, large in number of catalytic active sites, good in circulation stability and excellent in catalytic performance. The manganese cobaltate nanocrystal/titanium carbide nanosheet composite electrode catalyst prepared by the method has good application prospect and economic benefit in the fields of electrolytic hydrogen production and the like.
2.

Application case Performance characterization
The manganese cobaltate nanocrystal/titanium carbide nanosheet composite electrode catalyst prepared by the method of example 3 is taken as an example for performance characterization.
1) X-ray powder diffraction Pattern (XRD)
Fig. 2 is an X-ray powder diffraction pattern, i.e., XRD pattern, of the manganese cobaltate nanocrystal/titanium carbide nanosheet composite electrode catalyst prepared by the method of example 3, from which characteristic peaks of the manganese cobaltate nanocrystal and titanium carbide nanosheet can be clearly seen, which indicates that the composite product contains the two components.
2) Microscopic analysis
Fig. 3A-B are field emission scanning electron microscope images of manganese cobaltate nanocrystal/titanium carbide nanosheet composite electrode catalysts, wherein fig. 3B is a partial enlarged view of fig. 3A. As can be seen in the figure, the catalyst has a very obvious single-layer or few-layer two-dimensional nanosheet structure, and the manganese cobaltate nanocrystals are uniformly distributed and grown on the two-dimensional titanium carbide sheet. When the preparation conditions of the method are changed, if manganese cobaltate and titanium carbide nanosheets are directly mixed for hydrothermal treatment (comparative example 4), a large amount of aggregated manganese cobaltate can be generated and cannot be uniformly dispersed on the two-dimensional nanosheets (as shown in fig. 3C-D), so that the manganese cobaltate can be grown in situ on the surfaces of the titanium carbide nanosheets by using a hydrothermal method, and manganese cobaltate nanocrystals which are uniform in appearance, small in particle size and uniform in dispersion can be formed.
Fig. 4 is a transmission electron microscope image of the manganese cobaltate nanocrystal/titanium carbide nanosheet composite electrode catalyst. It can be seen that manganese cobaltate uniformly grows on the surface of the two-dimensional titanium carbide nanosheet layer, the volume of the manganese cobaltate crystal is kept in a nanoscale range, and the super-strong electrocatalytic performance of the manganese cobaltate crystal is ensured by the fine crystal size and high dispersity.
The results show that the manganese cobaltate nanocrystal/titanium carbide nanosheet composite electrode catalyst has a two-dimensional nanostructure, the manganese cobaltate and the titanium carbide are well dispersed, the manganese cobaltate is uniform in shape, the specific surface area of the catalyst is large, and the number of active sites is large, so that the catalyst has higher catalytic performance and electrochemical activity.
3) Electrochemical hydrogen production reaction test
The experimental method comprises the following steps: electrocatalytic hydrogen production reaction tests were performed on an electrochemical workstation (CHI760E, shanghai chenhua instruments ltd). A standard three-electrode system is adopted, and a carbon rod, a Saturated Calomel Electrode (SCE) and a glassy carbon electrode (GCE, 3mm) coated with a composite catalytic material are respectively used as a counter electrode, a reference electrode and a working electrode. The working electrode was prepared using a typical method: 2mg of the three-dimensional composite catalytic material was dissolved in a mixed solution (475. mu.L of water, 475. mu.L of ethanol and 50. mu.L of 5% Nafion), sonicated for 30min, and then 5. mu.L of the above suspension was carefully dropped on the surface of the pretreated glassy carbon electrode (GCE, 3mm) and dried at room temperature. In the hydrogen evolution performance test, the hydrogen evolution performance is 0.5M H2SO4In the aqueous solution, the potential of the scanning electrode is 0.142 to-0.758V (vs RHE), and the potential scanning rate is 2mV s-1While, a polarization curve was measured. At room temperature, between-0.258 and-0.338V (vs RHE) at a scanning rate of 10mV s for 2000 cycles-1
As can be seen from fig. 5A, the manganese cobaltate nanocrystal/titanium carbide nanosheet composite electrode catalyst has the lowest reaction initiation potential and the highest current density, which indicates that the catalyst has good electrocatalytic performance; as can be seen from fig. 5B, the Tafel (Tafel) slope of the manganese cobaltate nanocrystal/titanium carbide nanosheet composite electrode catalyst is the smallest, indicating that the catalytic activity of the catalyst is the best. Meanwhile, as shown in fig. 6, after a chronoamperometric test of 3000s, the current of the catalyst hardly decayed, indicating that it had excellent stability.
In addition, the composite electrode catalysts prepared by the methods of examples 1 to 5 and comparative examples 1 to 4 were subjected to hydrogen production catalytic activity tests, and the results are shown in table 1.
TABLE 1 Performance index of composite electrode catalysts prepared in examples 1 to 5 and comparative examples 1 to 4 for hydrogen generation reaction

The composite catalyst formed by compounding the two-dimensional layered material and the transition metal oxide can not only make up for the defect of insufficient conductivity or rare catalytic sites, but also can generate synergistic effect through compounding to enhance the electrocatalytic performance of the compound. The two-dimensional layered titanium carbide nanosheet has a large specific surface area, excellent conductivity and stability, but the electrocatalytic performance of the pure titanium carbide is not high, and the electrocatalyst with good overall performance can be obtained by compounding the titanium carbide nanosheet with manganese cobaltate which has excellent electrocatalytic activity but poor conductivity. The key to obtaining the excellent composite electrocatalyst is how to adjust the component proportion between the manganese cobaltate and the titanium carbide.
As can be seen from table 1, the composite electrode catalysts prepared by the methods of examples 1 to 5 have low overpotential, low Tafel slope and large exchange current density and high catalytic activity, compared to common composite forms such as using carbon Nanofibers (NCF) as a support material. With the increase of the content of the titanium carbide nanosheets in the composite electrode catalyst, the active surface area and the exchange current density of the catalyst are increased, the overpotential and the Tafel slope are correspondingly reduced, but the addition amount of the titanium carbide nanosheets is further increased, as shown in examples 4-5, the performance of the catalyst is reduced in comparison with example 3, and when the content of the titanium carbide nanosheets is increased to the content of the comparative example 1, the performance of the catalyst is sharply reduced; the reason is that the titanium carbide has poor electrocatalytic performance, a large amount of titanium carbide can reduce catalytic active sites, and the manganese cobaltate nanocrystal has low loading rate, so that the catalytic activity is further reduced; correspondingly, the data of the comparative example 2 and the examples 1 to 5 show that the content of the manganese cobaltate nanocrystal is high, the agglomeration of a large amount of manganese cobaltate grows up to reduce the catalytic activity sites, and meanwhile, the conductivity of the manganese cobaltate is poor, so that the catalytic activity is reduced. The proper addition proportion of the manganese cobaltate and the titanium carbide nanosheets is beneficial to comprehensively exerting the catalytic performances of the manganese cobaltate and the titanium carbide, and a synergistic effect is generated, so that high catalytic activity and catalytic stability are obtained.
