Description

Active electrolytic water electrode and preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of material science and technology, and particularly relates to a preparation method and application of an amorphous alloy integral catalytic electrode
Background
The hydrogen can be used as a clean energy source in the energy field of fuel cells and the like because of the extremely high energy density (283 kJ.mol < -1 >) and the clean combustion product (water), and is an ideal green fuel. The traditional hydrogen manufacturing industry produces by conversion of petrochemical energy sources, such as natural gas dehydrogenation, water gas and alcohol reforming technologies, but such technologies not only consume a large amount of fossil energy sources, but also are accompanied by the disadvantages of high energy consumption, high pollution, high investment, low purity and the like. The water electrolysis technology is a renewable hydrogen production strategy which is green, environment-friendly and efficient. However, efficient water electrolysis requires the use of active catalytic electrode materials to reduce the excess energy consumption in the hydrogen production process. At present, catalysts used for Hydrogen Evolution (HER) by water electrolysis are mainly platinum-based noble metal catalysts, so the high cost greatly limits the popularization of water electrolysis hydrogen production technology, and the water electrolysis hydrogen production only accounts for 4% of the hydrogen production industry in China by 2019. In addition, the activity and stability of the catalytic material under extreme working conditions such as large current are another important factor for restricting large-scale commercial use of the catalytic material. Therefore, the development of a non-noble metal-based electrolytic water catalytic cathode with high activity and stability and suitable for large-current working condition operation is of great commercial value.
The transition metal elements such as nickel, cobalt and the like are extremely suitable to be used as active hydrogen evolution cathode materials due to the unique electronic structure and abundant crustal reserves. However, the transition metal in the elemental state has low surface adsorption energy in the hydrogen evolution process, and is not beneficial to the hydrogen evolution reaction. Needs to be blended by multi-alloying to optimize the hydrogen absorption effect of the intermediate product in the adsorption state. In addition, the transition metal alloy is extremely easy to be oxidized during storage and use, which causes poisoning and deactivation of the catalytic material and affects the performance of the catalytic material, and therefore, the oxidation resistance of the material needs to be further improved, thereby ensuring the service life of the material. In addition, since the electrochemical hydrogen evolution process is a liquid-solid-gas three-phase interface participating reaction, the catalytic electrode itself needs to have good catalytic activity, and also needs to have good conductivity and a three-dimensional porous structure so as to improve the mass transfer process and the gas diffusion process of reactants and products. This characteristic is particularly important under high current conditions, requiring optimization and treatment of the overall structure and surface of the catalytic electrode. Finally, hydrogen production by water electrolysis is mainly carried out in alkaline electrolyte to improve the conductivity of the electrolyte, but strong alkaline solution corrodes an electrolytic cell, a pipeline and the like to a great extent, so that the development of a high-efficiency integral catalytic electrode suitable for a neutral or weak alkaline system is another technical problem of hydrogen production by water electrolysis.
In summary, an integral active electrode that fully satisfies the above requirements is not available, and the preparation process of the active catalytic material is complex, such as high-temperature calcination, ion sputtering, multi-step chemical synthesis, and the like, and is not suitable for large-scale commercial production.
