Description

Under the conditions that the total amount of fossil energy is limited and a large amount of pollution emission is generated, hydrogen energy is considered as an important bridge for connecting fossil energy to renewable energy, and a hydrogen source development and hydrogen production link is a first premise for developing hydrogen energy economy. At present, the hydrogen production by reforming fossil fuel is mainly adopted in industry, and the requirements of sustainable development are not met from the viewpoints of environmental protection and energy loss. Compared with the traditional hydrogen production process, the hydrogen production by electrolyzing water has the advantages of wide raw material source, low price, clean preparation process and high product purity; in addition, the electric energy for driving the water decomposition can be converted from new energy sources such as solar energy, wind energy, hydraulic energy, geothermal energy and the like. The conversion between these sustainable energy sources not only can realize the storage of renewable energy sources converted into chemical fuels by electrolyzing water, but also makes up the gap of sustainable supply of energy sources in time and space, so the method is recognized as a green hydrogen production route with the most development prospect.

However, the oxygen evolution process exhibits slower kinetic characteristics compared to the hydrogen evolution process; with the change of input power, the response rate of the hydrogen evolution/oxygen evolution process is different, which inevitably causes the increase of the instant pressure difference at two sides of the membrane, further leads to the danger of membrane damage and gas mixing, and in addition, because of H 2 、O 2 And the presence of an electrolyzed water catalyst, active oxygen is generated, which has a degrading effect on the ion exchange membrane, thereby reducing the service life of the membrane.
In order to solve the technical problem, in recent years, a two-step water electrolysis hydrogen production technology is developed, wherein the two-step method is based on three electrodes: hydrogen evolution electrode, oxygen evolution electrode, foamed nickel and cobalt doped electrode, etc. nickel surface in alkali liquor is anode oxidized to produce Ni (OH) 2 A NiOOH oxide cap layer.
