Description

Weakly-bound water structure modified alkaline electrolyte and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of hydrogen production by electrochemical water decomposition, in particular to a modified alkaline electrolyte with a weak water-binding structure and a preparation method thereof.
Background
In response to the increasingly serious shortage of energy and environmental crisis, the development of renewable clean energy is a subject of great concern. The electrochemical water decomposition technology can convert electric energy obtained by converting solar energy into hydrogen energy with high energy density through water decomposition reaction. The electrochemical water splitting reaction consists of three series processes of Hydrogen Evolution Reaction (HER) at a cathode, Oxygen Evolution Reaction (OER) at an anode and mass transfer in a solution. OER involves a four-electron process, compared to HER, which involves the participation of two electrons, and the slow reaction kinetics become a major bottleneck limiting the energy conversion efficiency of water-splitting cells. Therefore, improving the OER efficiency is significant for realizing efficient photoelectrochemical water splitting.
According to the existing research, the slow Oxygen Evolution Reaction (OER) of the solid-liquid interface of the electrocatalyst/electrolyte is the speed control step of the water electrolysis reaction. Therefore, it is a first task to improve the efficiency of Oxygen Evolution Reaction (OER). Currently, the optimization strategy for improving the OER efficiency can be mainly divided into two directions: optimizing and modifying the electrocatalyst and the electrolyte. Among them, the research work of the OER electrocatalyst is extensive, for example: CN109647477B, CN111841602B and CN 111437831B. However, for the series reaction process of OER, the electrolyte with less research and poor performance will become a short plate and bottleneck limiting OER efficiency compared to the fast-developing electrocatalyst.
At present, the research on the electrolyte is less, and the Chinese patent application CN111101143A discloses a method for reducing the overpotential of an electrode by reducing the influence of bubbles on the effective working area of the electrode by using a perfluorinated organic additive, which has the defects that the influence of the bubbles on the effective working area can only be solved, the reaction kinetic process of OER can not be promoted, and the efficiency of the electrode is improved and the service life is prolonged and limited; chinese patent application CN113078331A discloses a high-performance electrolyte for magnesium water hydrogen production battery, which effectively strips reaction products Mg (OH) by using cation or anion additive2The method has the defects of narrow application range and can only be used for improving the efficiency and the service life of the magnesium water hydrogen production battery.
OER in alkaline electrolyte, reactant is OH-Due to hydration, hydrated shells can be formed around the electrode, and the transmission and adsorption of OH-to the surface of the electrode are hindered. Therefore, it is desirable to find a method for thinning the OH-hydration shell layer to effectively improve OER efficiency and stability.
