Description

Chromium oxide/metal oxide composite material and preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to a chromium oxide/metal oxide composite material and a preparation method and application thereof, belonging to the technical field of novel inorganic composite materials.
Background
The expensive cost of fossil fuel and the environmental pollution problem caused by the large use of fossil fuel become barriers restricting the social development, and the exploration of renewable green hydrogen energy has important significance for relieving the global energy crisis and the environmental problem. Electrolysis of water is considered to be a promising hydrogen production technique, but the slow kinetics of the anodic oxygen evolution reaction severely limits the energy conversion efficiency of the overall water splitting. The urea electrooxidation reaction (UOR) has a significantly reduced theoretical potential, can well replace oxygen evolution reaction, and can purify waste water rich in urea, thereby receiving wide attention. Although some precious metal-based materials (e.g., Pt/C, RuO) 2 And IrO 2 ) UOR can be effectively catalyzed, but its high cost and scarcity have prompted researchers to develop non-noble metal-based electrocatalysts with high benefit.
The nickel-based material has wide sources and low price, is a UOR and Hydrogen Evolution Reaction (HER) catalyst suitable for industrial application, but the electrocatalytic performance of the nickel-based material is limited by intrinsic activity, limited active sites and poor conductivity to a great extent.
The multi-metal synergistic effect is an effective mode for improving the intrinsic activity of the nickel-based material, for example, cobalt, chromium and the like can play a synergistic effect with nickel, so that the electrical catalytic activity of UOR and HER of the nickel-based material is effectively improved; one of the effective ways to increase the number of active sites is to reduce the size of the catalyst, especially the ultra-fine nanoparticles, to expose more metal atoms.
At present, the method for improving the conductivity of the nickel-based catalyst is mainly to compound the nickel-based catalyst with conductive substances such as carbon materials, metals and the like, wherein the compound with the metals can not only improve the conductivity, but also play a role in synergy of metal-metal oxides.
The two-dimensional ultrathin nanosheet has the advantages of promotion of electron transmission, large specific surface area and the like, is widely applied to the fields of energy storage, electrocatalysis and the like, and is an ideal catalytic platform. For example, Yan et al reported that a Ni/NiO core-shell nanosheet was used as a highly efficient HER electrocatalyst (Crystalline/amophorus Ni/NiO core/shell nanosheets)as high active electrolytes for hydrogen evolution reaction); ji et al developed a carbon-coated Ni/NiO composite nanosheet for use as a UOR electrocatalyst (Oxygen vacancy-rich Ni/NiO @ NCnanosheets with a schottky thermal interface for effect oxidation reaction). At present, the stability of the Ni/NiO nano-flake system under the electrocatalysis environment is poor, and the UOR catalytic activity of the Ni/NiO nano-flake system needs to be further improved. Chromium oxide has been reported to improve the HER stability of the Ni/NiO system. Gong et al transform Cr 2 O 3 The Ni/NiO core-shell structure nano material surface is introduced, and the HER stability (blending Cr) of the material is greatly improved 2 O 3 intoaNiO-Nielectrocatalytic for contained water splitting); inspired by the above documents, yellow girls and the like adopt an electrochemical reduction method to prepare Ni/NiO/Cr 2 O 3 Electrode material (preparation method of metal oxide passivated nickel/nickel oxide in-situ electrode, CN 113604839 a). However, Ni/NiO/Cr has been reported 2 O 3 The composite material exists in the form of nano particles, and the agglomeration phenomenon is easy to occur among the nano particles, so that the active sites are reduced. Furthermore, Gong et al reported Ni/NiO/Cr 2 O 3 The composite material is a small amount of Cr 2 O 3 Coating of Ni/NiO to result in Cr 2 O 3 The number of/NiO interfaces is limited, which is not favorable for UOR. Although the Ni/NiO/Cr developed by Ji et al 2 O 3 The composite material is added with Cr 2 O 3 However, it is difficult to precisely control the grain size and position of metallic Ni by electrochemical reduction, resulting in the development of Ni/NiO/Cr 2 O 3 The HER performance of the composite material is far lower than that of Ni/NiO/Cr reported by Gong et al 2 O 3 A composite material.
Therefore, the invention aims to overcome the existing Ni/NiO/Cr 2 O 3 The defects of the system are taken as a starting point for two-dimensional ultrathin nano sheets, a simple and effective confinement strategy is developed, superfine metal and metal oxide nano particles are confined in chromium oxide nano sheets, the agglomeration of the nano particles is effectively prevented, and the preparation of the high-efficiency metal/metal oxide/chromium trioxide nano sheet catalyst is further realized.

(1) Adding 1.0mmol of nickel nitrate, 1.0mmol of chromium nitrate and 2.0mmol of urea into a polytetrafluoroethylene lining, and adding 30mL of deionized water for dissolving;
(2) adding a piece of cleaned foam nickel carrier into the lining in the step (1);
(3) transferring the reaction lining in the step (2) into a metal reaction kettle, and carrying out hydrothermal reaction for 8 hours at 140 ℃;
(4) cooling the reaction liquid in the step (3), taking out the foamed nickel, and respectively using deionized water and BWashing with alcohol for 2 times, drying, and calcining in a muffle furnace at 350 ℃ for 2h to obtain a precursor binary nickel-chromium oxide NiCrO x
(5) Putting the precursor binary nickel chromium oxide obtained in the step (4) into a tube furnace, and putting the precursor binary nickel chromium oxide into the tube furnace in the presence of H 2 Calcining for 3h in an/Ar (20/80%) mixed gas at the temperature rise rate of 2 ℃/min and the calcining temperature of 450 ℃, thus obtaining the chromium oxide/nickel oxide composite material CrO x /Ni/NiO。
Fig. 15 is a scanning electron microscope image of the chromium oxide/nickel oxide composite material prepared in comparative example 4 of the present invention, the composite material prepared by using chromium nitrate as a chromium salt shows a network structure of nanowire stacking, which is significantly different from the nanosheet structure prepared in example 1, indicating that the nanosheet structure cannot be obtained when conventional chromium salt is used instead of chromate; in addition, CrO prepared using low-valent chromium salts x Similar to the materials reported in the literature and patents mentioned in the background, CrO x The coating of Ni and NiO cannot be realized at the same time.
FIG. 16 is a comparative plot of the UOR polarization curves of comparative example 4 of the present invention versus example 1. Comparative example 4 required 1.449V to reach 200mA/cm 2 Current densities of comparative example 3 and example 1 at a voltage of 1.4V were able to provide current densities of 70 and 275mA/cm, respectively 2
It can be seen that the performance of comparative example 4 is significantly lower than that of example 1, which may be caused by mutual isolation due to too loose of the nanowires, which is not beneficial to the mass transfer process between the nanowires, and the interaction between the conductive substrate and the active species can be better exerted when the nanosheet structure is used as a reaction platform of the chromium oxide/nickel oxide composite material, thereby showing superior UOR performance.
Although the present invention has been described with reference to the preferred embodiments, it should be understood that various changes and modifications can be made therein by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims.
