Description

Method for preparing copper-silver alloy hydrogen evolution catalyst by friction stir processing
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of welding and the field of electrocatalysis, in particular to a friction stir processing technology and hydrogen evolution performance of a self-supporting material.
Background
The alloying of the non-solid solution metal can adjust the electronic state of the whole metal, and the non-solid solution alloy has very good application prospect in the field of electrocatalysis. Copper is used for catalytic hydrogen evolution reactions due to its excellent electrical conductivity and abundant reserves, which mainly comprise two processes, adsorption and desorption, and if the adsorption is strong, the desorption process is difficult to occur, and all available surface sites are occupied, making it difficult for the reaction to proceed; when the catalyst is easy to desorb, the adsorption is too weak, so that the equilibrium point of the adsorption and the desorption is found, and the adsorption of hydrogen atoms cannot be too strong or weak on the surface of an ideal catalyst; the d layer of electrons of copper are completely filled, the reverse bonding state is lower than the fermi level, the bonding strength is small, the bonding with the adsorbate is weak, the adsorption process of hydrogen evolution reaction is difficult, and a large overpotential is required to be applied to enable the reaction to occur; if the catalytic performance of copper is to be improved, a second metal, such as silver, is introduced to form copper-silver non-solid solution alloy, the electronic state of copper is adjusted, the position of the d-band center of copper is adjusted, the adsorption of hydrogen on the surface of copper is enhanced, the adsorption process is easier to occur, the overpotential required by the reaction is smaller, and thus the efficient hydrogen evolution catalyst is obtained, see Ruban A, hammer B, stoltze P, et al surface electronic structure and reactivity of transition and noble metals [ J ]. Journal of Molecular Catalysis A:chemical,1997,115 (3): 421-429.
The constituent elements of the non-solid solution metal system are lack of thermodynamic driving force and cannot be alloyed at normal temperature and pressure, for example, copper and silver have only small solid solubility, direct alloying is difficult to realize by using a conventional method, an alloying method becomes a research focus, various non-solid solution metal alloying methods such as ball milling, physical vapor deposition, ion beam mixing and the like are sequentially appeared in recent years, see Huang Yuan, du Jinlong and Wang Zumin.
The friction stir processing is a solid phase connection process, and the metal materials are plasticized by the heat generated by friction between a high-speed rotary stirring head and a welded workpiece, so that the welding of two metals is realized under the combined action of stirring and shaft shoulder pressure. At present, the method is only used as an effective welding mode of bulk materials, not aiming at metal mixing, but changing the process method and parameters of conventional welding or realizing good dispersion of second phase metals.
Disclosure of Invention
Aiming at the problem that the existing preparation process can not obtain a stable and efficient copper-silver alloy catalyst, the copper-silver alloy self-supporting material is prepared by using a friction stir processing copper plate, a copper sheet and a silver sheet, and the catalyst with lower hydrogen evolution overpotential is obtained by the advantage of non-solid solution alloy, and the excellent performance of the catalyst is not attenuated for a long time. The stirring friction welder uses a stirring head with a shaft shoulder, the stirring head consists of the shaft shoulder and a stirring needle, the stirring needle is a conical part with one end protruding out, and the cylindrical part is the shaft shoulder. The stirring head is used as a stirring tool for copper-silver mixing by utilizing the characteristics that a stirring pin rotates to drive metal to flow and a shaft shoulder is pressed down; copper silver flake realizes the preliminary dispersion of copper silver through crisscross superimposed mode, increases copper silver's contact surface and is convenient for realize more even mixing, receives the shearing force and the downforce of shaft shoulder that the stirring head rotation brought again, and two metals undergo strong plastic deformation and flow mixing in solid state, forms copper silver alloy block. The invention has simple process, ingenious design, safety, controllability and low cost.
The technical scheme of the invention is as follows:
the method for preparing the copper-silver alloy hydrogen evolution catalyst by using friction stir processing comprises the following steps:
(1) Taking a block-shaped metal copper plate, a copper sheet and a silver sheet as raw materials; cleaning the surface of the raw material;
(2) Fixing the metal copper plates and the staggered copper silver plates on a workbench of a friction stir welding machine by using a clamp, and clamping the silver plates and the copper plates between the two copper plates in a staggered manner, wherein the superposition width of the copper silver plates is smaller than the diameter of a stirring head;
(3) Using a stirring head with a shaft shoulder; when the processing is started, the stirring head is aligned with the copper silver flake, the stirring head is adjusted to be pressed down until the stirring pin is completely immersed into the processed metal, the distance between the shaft shoulder and the surface of the copper plate is less than 2mm, and the stirring head automatically rotates along one end of the copper silver flake to advance to the other end for mixing once; if clear copper-silver boundary parallel to the processing direction can still be observed on the surface of the processing area, the copper-silver boundary needs to be mixed again until the copper-silver boundary on the surface disappears;
(4) Sampling: the stirring head starts to process from the last processing starting position, the stirring head automatically rotates along one end of the copper silver sheet to the other end, and the stirring head is adjusted to be pressed down until the metal below the stirring head is extruded from the two sides of the stirring head; the metal strips extruded by the stirring head are cut off to be directly used as the catalyst.
The method for cleaning the surface of the raw material comprises the following steps: polishing the surface of the raw material by sand paper and then ultrasonically cleaning the surface by dilute hydrochloric acid to remove an oxide layer; and then cleaning the surface of the raw material with deionized water for several times to remove residual dilute hydrochloric acid, and then drying the surface of the raw material for later use.
The rotating speed of the friction stir welding machine is preferably 600-1800 rpm, and the welding speed is preferably 30-200 mm/min. We usually combine the two conditions abbreviated rpm-mm/min.
The metal strip is directly used as a cathode for producing hydrogen by water electrolysis.

to avoid reoxidation, the raw materials should be processed immediately after washing and drying.
The purity of the copper plate and the copper silver sheet is more than 99%, and if the copper silver alloy with higher purity is required to be obtained, the higher the purity of the raw material is, the better the raw material is.
The influence of the rotating speed of the stirring head on metal mixing is larger than the welding speed, and the faster rotating speed is beneficial to metal mixing.

The copper-silver alloy with excellent hydrogen evolution performance has the advantages that the silver content is at least more than 3%, and the higher the silver content is, the more uniform the distribution is, the better the performance is; in order to facilitate sampling the thickness of the catalyst to be (2+/-1) mm, the surface is provided with regular arc lines, so that the catalyst and the electrolyte are ensured to have a larger contact area.

The friction stir processing is applied to the field of electrocatalysis for the first time, so that the simple green synthesis of the copper-silver alloy self-supported catalyst is realized under the ordinary external environment at normal temperature and normal pressure, and the coating process of the catalyst is omitted. The catalyst was used at 10mA/cm 2 The overpotential at the position is half of that of a unprocessed copper plate, and the huge effect of non-solid solution metal alloying on improving the hydrogen evolution performance of the catalyst is proved for the first time; the equivalent current is not attenuated after 180 hours of continuous reaction, and the excellent stability of the copper-silver alloy self-supporting catalyst is proved. In addition, the synthesis method adopted by the invention has simple process, convenient operation and easy control, belongs to normal-temperature and normal-pressure synthesis, does not use toxic reaction raw materials, and is an environment-friendly green synthesis process.
