Description

Bimetallic MOF derived catalyst and preparation method and application thereof

Technical Field

The application belongs to the technical field of catalyst preparation, and particularly relates to a bimetallic MOF derived catalyst, and a preparation method and application thereof.

Background

The green electrolytic water is a promising technology for preparing hydrogen by electrolysis, and can efficiently realize the conversion of electric energy into chemical energy. The method comprises two upper electrode reactions, namely a cathode hydrogen evolution reaction and an anode oxygen evolution reaction, but the anode oxygen evolution reaction is relatively complex and has high overpotential, and a large amount of electric energy is consumed. The existing noble metals iridium and ruthenium oxide have the problems of high cost, less resources and the like, limit the large-scale application of the noble metals, and are difficult to be applied in the future hydrogen energy economy field. Therefore, the development of low-cost, high-activity, and abundant-resource transition metal-based catalysts is needed to promote green electrolysis technology.

In the existing oxygen evolution electrocatalyst, under the condition of alkaline electrolyte, the iron-nickel based catalyst has lower cost, higher activity and stability. However, such catalysts have problems such as low catalytic activity, insufficient conductivity, few exposed active sites, poor stability, etc., which limit the practical use of these catalysts in industrial water electrolysis devices. In order to solve the problems, a composite structure is formed with other materials, which is beneficial to exposing more reaction active centers and realizing the structural optimization of the iron-nickel based catalyst, such as using conductive substrates, such as foamed nickel, carbon nano paper and the like, however, the catalyst material obtained by using the substrates is difficult to obtain a nano powder catalyst, and cannot be applied to an electrocatalyst subjected to preprocessing treatment.

Metal Organic Framework (MOF) materials have high composite porous structures, and these framework structures have unique three-dimensional nanostructures that expose different edge structures, and are widely used in the preparation of electrocatalysts (Adv Mater,29(2017) 1604898). However, such conventionally derived materials such as oxides, sulfides, and the like have problems of insufficient catalytic activity, poor conductivity, and the like. Although the formation of a carbon-based structure is facilitated by further pyrolysis carbonization treatment, and higher conductivity is realized, the carbonization treatment is easy to form a carbon-coated structure, and a dense coating structure does not facilitate the exposure of metal catalytic active centers, so that higher electrocatalytic activity is difficult to obtain. The method of surface etching such as acid etching, oxygen etching, plasma treatment and the like is helpful to expose more active sites, however, the methods are only surface treatment and are not beneficial to the continuous integrity and stability of the electrocatalyst structure.
