Description

Water electrolysis hydrogen production electrode and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of electrochemical materials, in particular to a preparation method of an electrode for hydrogen production by water electrolysis.
Background
Increasing global energy demand and climate change due to over-utilization of fossil fuels have prompted a tightening search for various renewable energy sources. In particular, the electrolysis of water to produce hydrogen is considered to be one of the simplest and cleanest methods for producing hydrogen, but a higher overpotential is still required to obtain a better reaction rate. Industrial production has found that hydrogen production using an industrial electrolytic cell requires a potential of about 2V to drive with at least a 35% energy loss. At the same time the catalysts commonly used are still based on noble metals such as Pt-based alloys for hydrogen evolution and IrO2, RuO2 for oxygen evolution. The hydrogen production by electrolyzing water is difficult to realize large-scale production due to scarcity and high cost. Therefore, the preparation of highly active electrode materials to reduce the required potential is a problem to be solved.
At present, both noble metal (Ir and Ru) catalysts and non-noble metal catalysts including metal oxides, sulfides, selenides and phosphides have improved activity but the stability of the catalysts can not meet the requirements of industrial production. Ni-based electrocatalysts are commonly used as electrode materials for electrolysis of water because of their superior hydrogen evolution activity.

One of the purposes of the invention is to find a method for improving the activity of a Ni-based hydrogen evolution electrode of commercial electrolyzed water; the second objective is to find a lower cost material that can replace Ni-based electrodes. Firstly, an alloy material NiCoP similar to a spherical nanometer flower shape is grown on the surface of an electrode matrix by using a direct current electroplating method, so that the specific surface area and high-density active sites of the electrode matrix are improved, and then the alloy material NiCoP is further applied to an iron electrode and a copper electrode, so that the problems of high energy consumption, low activity and the like in the process of producing hydrogen by electrolyzing water through a commercial nickel net are solved, and the cost of the electrode material is greatly reduced.
In order to achieve the purpose, the invention relates to an electrode for producing hydrogen by electrolyzing water, which comprises an electrode substrate and NiCoP alloy covered on the surface of the electrode substrate.
The electrode substrate is an existing commercial metal electrode, preferably a nickel electrode, more preferably a copper electrode and an iron electrode, such as a copper mesh, a nickel mesh, a wire mesh.
The preparation method of the water electrolysis hydrogen production electrode specifically comprises the following steps:
(1) immersing the electrode substrate in HCl solution for electroetching until the reaction is complete, and then ultrasonically cleaning to remove HCl on the surface to obtain the electrode substrate with a rough surface;
(2) electroplating by using a two-electrode system, putting the electrode substrate treated in the step (1) into electroplating solution, applying constant current to electroplate the electrode substrate serving as a negative electrode and the graphite plate serving as a positive electrode, and flushing residual electroplating solution on the surface to obtain an electrode with the surface covered with alloy NiCoP, wherein the electroplating solution contains 0.1M NiCl2、0.1M CoCl2、0.1M NaH2PO2And 0.35M Na3C6H5O7
In the electroplating process: the electrode matrix is used as a negative electrode to perform reduction reaction: ni2++2e-===Ni,Co2++2e-===Co,P3++3e-===P,2H++2e-===H2Forming NiCoP alloy on the surface of the electrode substrate, and taking the graphite plate as a positive electrode to perform oxidation reaction: 4OH--4e-===O2+2H2O。
Specifically, in the step (1), an electrode matrix is immersed in 1M HCl solution, the electrode matrix is used as a positive electrode, a graphite plate is used as a negative electrode, and 50mAcm is applied-2The current density of (2) is electro-etched for 1 min.
Preferably, step (2) is at 500mAcm-2Electroplating for 1-3 min under the current density to ensure that the electrode material with the best performance is obtained.
Compared with the prior art, the invention has the following beneficial effects: (1) a layer of NiCoP alloy is electroplated on the surface of the commercial nickel screen, so that the hydrogen evolution activity of the material is greatly improved, and the energy consumption in the hydrogen production process is reduced. (2) Experimental results show that the NiCoP alloy can not only improve the performance of a nickel electrode, but also improve the performance of other metal electrodes, such as a copper electrode and an iron electrode, so that the universality of the method is proved, and better effects can be achieved by adopting the copper electrode and the iron electrode with lower cost as substrates under certain electroplating conditions. .
