Description

Anode slurry applied to proton exchange membrane water electrolysis device and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of hydrogen production by water electrolysis, in particular to anode slurry applied to a proton exchange membrane water electrolysis device and a preparation method thereof.
Background
In order to cope with global climate change, carbon dioxide emission is reduced and even carbon neutralization is achieved, and development of renewable clean energy sources is actively promoted in various countries of the world. The hydrogen energy is regarded as the optimal energy carrier in terms of the characteristics of cleanness, high efficiency, no pollution, wide application, zero emission of carbon dioxide and capability of storage and transportation. Currently, the most practical and cleanest method of converting renewable clean energy into hydrogen energy is to electrolyze water. The proton exchange membrane water electrolysis device is the development focus of all countries in the world at present.
In the proton exchange membrane water electrolysis device, a membrane electrode assembly is a core component of the water electrolysis device and mainly comprises a proton membrane positioned in the middle, a cathode catalytic layer and a anode catalytic layer which are positioned at two sides of the proton membrane and are in close contact with the proton membrane, and a gas diffusion layer positioned at the outer side of the catalytic layer. The catalytic layer on one side of the proton exchange membrane is an anode catalyst, and the other side is a cathode catalyst. When the water electrolysis device works, the water generates and releases oxygen under the catalysis of the anode catalyst, and generates and releases hydrogen under the catalysis of the cathode catalyst. For the anode catalytic layer of the water electrolysis device, anode catalyst materials and the coating quality, structure and morphology of the catalytic layer have great influence on the hydrogen production performance of water electrolysis.
At present, hot-pressing transfer printing is a main method for preparing the CCM for producing hydrogen by electrolyzing water through a proton exchange membrane, and slit direct coating is a future development trend. For both coating methods, a slurry is required to have good coatability. If the slurry viscosity is too low (< 10 cps), the iridium oxide catalyst, which is a relatively dense metal oxide, tends to settle to the bottom in the catalyst slurry, resulting in uneven coating of the catalyst slurry. Meanwhile, in the coating process, the slurry is easy to spread on the substrate to influence the quality of the coating, so that thickening treatment is required to be carried out on the slurry.
In the prior art, a fuel cell has full cell performance by modifying a carbon composite carrier with ceria, but the purpose of the fuel cell is to improve the catalytic performance of the catalyst itself and the stability of the catalyst itself in the field of alkaline anion exchange membrane water electrolysis catalysts. In the field of anode slurry of proton exchange membrane water electrolysis devices, problems related to viscosity and dispersibility of nano metal oxide and catalyst slurry are still needed to be studied. At present, the viscosity of the slurry is increased mostly by adding a high-molecular thickener, but the high-molecular additive can influence the electrolytic water performance of the catalytic layer. And the stability of the polymer additive in the electrolytic water environment is insufficient, and the service life of the electrolytic tank is also influenced to a certain extent. However, the anode slurry composed of the commercial iridium oxide catalyst, the ionic polymer and the solvent has the problems of too low slurry viscosity and poor coating property because no thickening agent is added.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention overcomes at least one defect of the prior art, provides anode slurry applied to a proton exchange membrane water electrolysis device and a preparation method thereof, improves the coating effect of the anode slurry, and further improves the performance of a membrane electrode.
The aim of the invention is achieved by the following technical measures:
an anode slurry applied to a proton exchange membrane water electrolysis device comprises an anode catalyst, an ionic polymer, ultrapure water, liquid alcohol and a thickening agent, wherein the thickening agent is nano metal oxide.
Preferably, the anode catalyst is one or a mixture of iridium oxide catalyst or iridium ruthenium mixed metal oxide catalyst, the mass ratio of the ultrapure water to the liquid alcohol is 1:9-9:1, the nano metal oxide is cerium-based metal oxide or other metal oxide, and the other metal oxide further comprises one or more of titanium oxide, manganese oxide, tin oxide, silicon oxide and zirconium oxide.
The addition of the thickening agent increases the viscosity of the catalyst slurry, is not easy to flow when the catalyst is coated on a large scale, and has more uniform catalyst distribution and better coating effect.
The difference in alcohol to water ratio can result in differences in the properties of the solvent itself, including boiling point, viscosity, rheology, surface tension, dielectric constant, etc., which can affect the dispersion state of the catalyst particles and the ionic polymer, affect the dispersibility, stability and final catalytic layer properties of the catalyst slurry itself.
More preferably, the liquid alcohol is one or more of ethanol, propanol, butanol, ethylene glycol, ethoxyethanol, and methoxyethanol.
Further, the nano metal oxide is cerium-based metal oxide or mixed metal oxide composed of cerium and other transition metal oxides; the cerium-based metal oxide is one or a mixture of cerium oxide and cerium oxide.
The densities of the ceria and the ceria are smaller than that of the anode catalyst iridium oxide, and the ceria or the cerium-based metal oxide of the iridium oxide catalyst is added under the condition that the solid content of the slurry is kept unchanged, so that the volume ratio of solid matters in the anode slurry is increased, and the anode slurry containing the cerium-based metal oxide has higher viscosity.
In addition, the cerium-based metal oxide has high oxygen storage capacity, high ion/electron conduction capacity and high elastic transformation capacity of trivalent cerium ions and tetravalent cerium ions, so that the cerium-based metal oxide is favorable for the movement and formation of oxygen-containing substances, and the OER reaction activity can be improved, and the OER performance of the anode catalytic layer can be improved to a certain extent by adding the cerium-based metal oxide. And because of the free radical elimination capability of the cerium-based metal oxide, the degradation of the proton exchange membrane can be relieved to a certain extent, and the service life of the proton exchange membrane water electrolysis device can be prolonged.
Further, the mass of the nano metal oxide is 10-25% of the mass of the anode catalyst; the solid content of the anode slurry is 10-35%.
The addition amount of the nano metal oxide has a great influence on the coating effect and performance of the catalyst. When the addition amount is too low, the viscosity of the slurry is not obviously changed, and the coating of the slurry is not obviously influenced; too much nano metal oxide may cause the contact between anode catalysts in the catalytic layer to be weakened, and the conductivity of the catalytic layer to be deteriorated eventually leads to the degradation of the water electrolysis performance of the water electrolysis device. In addition, the solid content is optimized in the technical scheme, so that the catalyst in the prepared slurry is uniformly dispersed, is not easy to agglomerate, has moderate viscosity and is easy to coat.
Further, the mass ratio of the ionic polymer to the anode catalyst is 5% -60%.
The ionic polymer and anode catalyst mass ratio is reasonably designed, so that the ionic polymer is more suitable for the working conditions of a proton exchange membrane water electrolysis hydrogen production device.
Further, the liquid alcohol is an alcohol having a number of carbon atoms between 1 and 8.
The preparation method of the anode slurry applied to the proton exchange membrane water electrolysis device comprises the following steps:
s1: placing ultrapure water into a mixing container, and sequentially adding an anode catalyst, nano metal oxide, an ionic polymer solution and liquid alcohol while stirring until the anode catalyst, the nano metal oxide, the ionic polymer solution and the liquid alcohol are uniformly mixed;
s2: dispersing the slurry obtained in the step S1;
s3: and (3) defoaming the slurry after the dispersion in the step (S2) to obtain the anode catalyst slurry.
Preferably, the ultrapure water is taken and placed in a mixing container, and then the ultrapure water is cooled and mixed, wherein the ionic polymer solution is a perfluorinated sulfonic acid resin solution, and the solid content of the ionic polymer in the ionic polymer solution is about 20%.
The concentration of the ionomer affects the morphology and dispersion of the ionomer in the solvent, so that a suitable ionomer solids content is advantageous for improving the coatability of the slurry and the catalytic activity of the catalytic layer.
The side chain of the perfluorinated sulfonic acid resin contains sulfonate ions, so that proton transfer and catalyst dispersion in slurry are promoted, a uniform catalytic layer is obtained on an electrode, the battery performance is improved, and the perfluorinated sulfonic acid resin can be used as a binder to ensure that the catalyst is not easy to fall off in a working environment.
Further, the method specifically comprises the following steps:
s1: placing a proper amount of ultrapure water into a mixing container, cooling the mixing container by using an ice water bath, stirring ultrapure water in the container by using a mechanical stirring device at the stirring speed of 200-500rpm, sequentially adding an anode catalyst, cerium-based metal oxide, an ionic polymer solution and liquid alcohol, and continuously stirring for 4-6min;
s2: dispersing the slurry obtained in the step S1 by using a probe ultrasonic dispersing machine, wherein the power is 600W, the ultrasonic is suspended for 2S, and the total working time is 15-40min;
s3: and (3) carrying out defoaming treatment on the slurry after the dispersion in the step (S2) by using a defoaming machine to obtain the anode catalyst slurry.
According to the technical scheme, the probe ultrasonic dispersion method is adopted, the energy density is high, catalyst agglomerates can be broken in a short time, the catalyst size is smaller, the distribution range is narrower, and the formation of a uniform and fine catalytic layer is facilitated.
In summary, due to the adoption of the technical scheme, the beneficial effects of the invention are as follows: according to the technical scheme, the nano metal oxide is added as the thickening agent, the alcohol-water ratio and the solid content are optimized, so that the catalyst in the prepared slurry is uniformly dispersed, is not easy to agglomerate, has moderate viscosity and is easy to coat, the anode catalyst coating effect is improved, and the membrane electrode performance is improved under the condition that the catalyst stability and the membrane electrode service life are not influenced.
