Description

Nickel-cobalt-sulfur material, preparation method and application in electrocatalytic OER
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of electrocatalysis, and particularly relates to a nickel-cobalt-sulfur nano material with specific nickel-cobalt molar ratio and starfish-shaped nanorod structure morphology, a preparation method thereof and application thereof in electrocatalysis OER.
Background
The ever-increasing demand for energy and fuels, coupled with the global depletion of fossil fuels and their associated negative environmental impacts, is driving the pursuit and intense research into a wide variety of high-efficiency, low-cost, sustainable energy conversion and storage technologies. The electrically driven water splitting to produce hydrogen and oxygen fuels is considered one of the most promising and valuable strategies for converting solar energy into electrical energy, and thus can overcome the shortage of fossil fuelsThe conversion and storage of solar energy now. The hydrogen produced by this technology is widely regarded as a sustainable and abundant energy carrier, and the electrocatalytic decomposition of water to produce hydrogen can solve the current energy crisis problem faced by mankind due to high energy density and no carbon emissions when stored and released. However, the cost required for hydrogen production by water electrolysis is much higher than that of hydrogen production by fossil fuel due to the slow kinetics of Oxygen Evolution Reaction (OER) occurring at the anode, the large overpotential, and the higher voltage required for hydrogen production by water electrolysis than the thermodynamic potential for water decomposition. Therefore, IrO is often required2And RuO2This noble metal material acts as a catalyst, but due to the high price and limited reserves of noble metals, its wide application in industry is limited. Therefore, it is of great significance to develop and design an OER electrocatalyst that can replace noble metals. In recent years, transition metal sulfides have attracted much attention as electrocatalytic OER catalyst materials. Among them, researchers have found various transition metal sulfides such as CoS2、Co3S4、Co9S8Etc., however, their OER performance is not ideal. As the OER performance of the single transition metal sulfide needs to be improved, another transition metal is introduced to form a bimetallic sulfide, the element valence state is adjusted through the synergistic effect of bimetallic, and the two metals have different molar ratios and different morphological properties. Research shows that the introduction of transition metal nickel into transition metal sulfide is a way to effectively improve the performance of OER. Therefore, the invention provides a simple and efficient method for synthesizing nickel-cobalt-sulfur nano materials with different proportions, so as to improve the performance of the electrocatalytic OER.
