Description

Preparation method of PEM electrolyzed water supported catalyst
Technical Field
The invention relates to a proton exchange membrane water electrolysis anode catalyst and a preparation method thereof, in particular to a supported Ir/conductive polymer nanofiber oxygen evolution catalyst and a preparation method thereof.
Background
In the context of large scale development of hydrogen energy, proton exchange membrane water electrolysis (PEMWE, proton Exchange Membrane Water Electrolysis) is a very promising technology for sustainable water hydrogen production, which can be stored and transported to applications by converting intermittent electrical energy, such as wind, water and solar generated electrical energy, into hydrogen energy. On the one hand, the PEM water electrolysis technology greatly shortens the distance between the anode and the cathode because of using PEM as electrolyte, greatly improves the electrolysis efficiency, and can reach the hydrogen with the electricity/Nm 3 of less than or equal to 4-5 ℃. On the other hand, as the diaphragm, the mutual strings of cathode and anode gases can be reduced, so that the purity of generated hydrogen and oxygen is improved and can reach 99.5 percent, in addition, the pure water electrolysis is adopted, the electrolysis water system is easier to operate in maintenance and safer, in addition, the electrolysis tank can bear certain pressure, the hydrogen with pressure can be prepared, the hydrogen storage is facilitated, and the hydrogen production by PEM water electrolysis is extremely enthusiasm in various countries.
The choice of electrocatalyst is limited to platinum group metals (PGMs, platinum Group Metals) due to the harsh operating environment of PEMWE (low pH, potential >1.5V and high anodic oxygen concentration). Typically, platinum carbon catalysts (Pt/C) are used for hydrogen evolution reactions (HER, hydrogen Evolution Reaction) on the cathode, while iridium (Ir) based catalysts are used for oxygen evolution reactions (OER, oxygen Evolution Reaction) on the anode. The high dosage of the noble metal catalyst Ir or IrO2 severely restricts the large-scale commercial application of PEMWE technology, so that the reduction of the kinetic overpotential of the catalyst and the reduction of the dosage of the catalyst are important problems to be solved, and the Ir-based supported catalyst well solves the problems. However, most of the supports used in the mainstream supported catalysts on the market are inorganic metal oxides, such as TiO2, siO2, al2O3, ceO2, which have poor electrical conductivity and greatly reduce the performance of PEM electrolysis. Based on this, we have introduced a conductive polymer carrier material as a direct and efficient method to solve the conductivity problem. It also has the following advantages: 1. the conductive polymer nanofiber constructs a catalytic layer conductive network, so that the electrolytic water electrolysis performance of the PEM is effectively improved; 2. the polymer nano fiber can effectively improve the dispersion of Ir nano particles and inhibit the aggregation of the particles through anchoring effect; 3. the introduction of the carrier material is beneficial to improving the mass specific activity of the catalyst, and the carrier material has low price, so that the overall cost of the catalyst can be directly reduced. However, to date, anode oxygen evolution catalysts using conductive polymer nanofibers as carriers have been rarely reported.

Membrane Electrode (MEA) preparation
Anode slurry (ink) configuration: 100mg of the catalyst synthesized in the examples and comparative examples was added to a beaker, and mixed well with 5g of deionized water (Milli-Q), 7.5mg of isopropyl alcohol (IPA), 1.5ml of 5wt% Nafion solution (D520), to obtain an anode slurry.
Cathode ink preparation: a catalyst of the HiSPEC4000 type, produced by Johnson matthey, was formulated as a uniform suspension using a similar procedure as described above.

The test procedure was as follows:
a single proton exchange membrane cell (PEM-single cell) was assembled, the cathode porous diffusion layer using dori carbon paper, and the anode using platinum coated porous titanium. The flow rate of pure water is 300ml/min, the water temperature is controlled at 60 ℃, and a constant current test method is adopted for stability test.
The MEA test results are shown in table 1:
table 1 shows the performance exhibited by the example and comparative PEMWE anode electrocatalysts in PEM cells, with the Ir/polypyrrole nanofiber electrocatalyst of example 2 exhibiting the highest performance due to its higher conductivity than polyaniline, and higher proton and electron transport efficiency. However, comparative examples 1 and 2 exhibited poor electrolytic water properties, which means that poor conductivity TiO2 and SiO2 nanofibers as carriers greatly reduced the electrolytic water properties. Comparative example 3 illustrates that the nano-spherical particles have poorer activity and stability than the nano-fibers as the carrier, and mainly the spherical nano-particles are easy to agglomerate when water is electrolyzed, so that the utilization rate of active substances is reduced.
The foregoing description of the preferred embodiments of the invention is not intended to be limiting, but rather is intended to cover all modifications, equivalents, alternatives, and improvements that fall within the spirit and scope of the invention.
