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, a preparation method and application thereof, and belongs to the technical field of novel inorganic composite materials.
Background
The expensive cost of fossil fuels and the environmental pollution caused by the large-scale use of fossil fuels have become barriers for restricting the social development, and the exploration of renewable green hydrogen energy has important significance for relieving global energy crisis and environmental problems. Electrolyzed water is considered a widely promising hydrogen production technology, but the slow kinetics of the anodic oxygen evolution reaction severely limits the energy conversion efficiency of the overall water decomposition. The urea electrooxidation reaction (UOR) has a significantly reduced theoretical potential, can well replace oxygen evolution reactions, and can purify urea-rich wastewater, and thus has received a great deal of attention. Although some noble metal-based materials (e.g. Pt/C, ruO 2 And IrO 2 ) UOR can be efficiently catalyzed, but its high cost and scarcity motivates researchers to develop non-noble metal-based electrocatalysts with high benefits.
Nickel-based materials are widely available and inexpensive, are UOR and Hydrogen Evolution Reaction (HER) catalysts suitable for commercial applications, but their electrocatalytic properties are largely limited by intrinsic activity, limited active sites and poor electrical conductivity.
The multi-metal synergistic effect is an effective way 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 UOR and HER electrocatalytic activity of the nickel-based material is effectively improved; one of the effective methods to increase the number of active sites is to reduce the catalyst size, especially ultrafine nanoparticles, which can expose more metal atoms.
At present, the method for improving the conductivity of the nickel-based catalyst is mainly to compound with conductive substances such as carbon materials, metals and the like, wherein the method can not only improve the conductivity but also play a role of synergism of metal and metal oxide when being compounded with the metals.
The two-dimensional ultrathin nanosheets have the advantages of promoting electron transmission, having large specific surface area and the like, are widely applied to the fields of energy storage, electrocatalysis and the like, and are ideal catalytic platforms. For example, yan et al report on the use of a Ni/NiO core-shell nanoplatelet as a high efficiency HER electrocatalyst (crystal/amorphorus Ni/NiO core/shell nanosheets as highly active electrocatalysts for hydrogen evolution reaction); ji et al developed a carbon-coated Ni/NiO composite nanoplatelet for use as a UOR electrocatalyst (Oxygen vacuum-rich Ni/NiO@NCnanosheets with schottkyheterointerface for efficient urea oxidation reaction). At present, the Ni/NiO nano-sheet system has poor stability in an electrocatalytic environment, and the UOR catalytic activity of the Ni/NiO nano-sheet needs to be further improved. It has been reported that chromium oxide can improve the HER stability of Ni/NiO systems. Gong et al, cr 2 O 3 The surface of the Ni/NiO core-shell structure nano material is introduced, so that the HER stability (BlendingCr) of the material is greatly improved 2 O 3 introaNiO-NielectorocataystforsusatainedWatersepartting); huang Niu, et al, inspired by the above literature, prepared Ni/NiO/Cr by electrochemical reduction 2 O 3 Electrode material (preparation method of metal oxide passivated nickel/nickel oxide in-situ electrode, CN 113604839A). However, reported Ni/NiO/Cr 2 O 3 The composite material exists in the form of nano particlesAgglomeration between nanoparticles is liable to occur, resulting in a reduction of active sites. Furthermore, gong et al report Ni/NiO/Cr 2 O 3 The composite material is prepared by using a small amount of Cr 2 O 3 Coating Ni/NiO, resulting in Cr 2 O 3 The limited number of NiO interfaces is detrimental to UOR. Although Ni/NiO/Cr developed by Ji et al 2 O 3 The composite material is added with Cr 2 O 3 But the electrochemical reduction method has difficulty in precisely controlling the particle size and position of metal Ni, resulting in the development of Ni/NiO/Cr 2 O 3 HER performance of the composite material is far lower than Ni/NiO/Cr reported by Gong et al 2 O 3 A composite material.
Therefore, the invention aims to overcome the prior Ni/NiO/Cr 2 O 3 The system is insufficient, a simple and effective domain-limiting strategy is developed from a two-dimensional ultrathin nanosheet, ultrafine metal and metal oxide nanoparticles are limited in a chromium oxide nanosheet, agglomeration of the nanoparticles is effectively prevented, and further efficient preparation of the metal/metal oxide/chromium trioxide nanosheet catalyst is achieved.

(2) Adding a piece of washed foam nickel carrier into the lining in the step (1);

FIG. 9 is an X-ray diffraction chart of the metallic nickel material produced in comparative example 1 of the present invention. As can be seen, niO is at H 2 The Ar (20/80%) mixture can be reduced to metallic nickel only at a reduction temperature of 250 ℃. From this, it is shown that example 1 has a protective effect compared with comparative example 1, and can greatly retard the reduction of NiO, thereby preparing CrO x Ni/NiO composite material.

As can be seen, a voltage of 1.446V is required to reach 200mA/cm 2 Is a current density of (a); the catalysts prepared in comparative example 1 and example 1 were capable of providing current densities of 104 and 275mA/cm, respectively, at a voltage of 1.4V 2 .

Comparative example 2

It can be seen that the metallic Ni, which is a conductive material, is absent due to CrO x The conductivity of NiO is poor, resulting in a significantly lower UOR catalytic activity than CrO x /Ni/NiO。

(4) Cooling the reaction liquid in the step (3), taking out foam nickel, washing with deionized water and ethanol for 2 times respectively, drying, and calcining in a muffle furnace at 350 ℃ for 2 hours to obtain a precursor binary nickel-chromium oxide NiCrO x
(5) Placing the precursor binary nickel-chromium oxide obtained in the step (4) into a tube furnace, and placing the tube furnace in H 2 Calcining in Ar (20/80%) mixed gas for 3h at a heating rate of 2 ℃/min and a calcining temperature of 450 ℃ to obtain the chromium oxide/nickel oxide composite 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, wherein 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 nano-sheet structure prepared in example 1, indicating that the nano-sheet structure cannot be obtained when the conventional chromium salt is used instead of the chromate; in addition, crO prepared with low-valence chromium salts x Ni/NiO is similar to the materials reported in the literature and patents mentioned in the background art, crO x The coating of Ni and NiO cannot be achieved simultaneously.
FIG. 16 is a graph comparing the polarization curves of the UOR of comparative example 4 and example 1 for the chromium oxide/nickel oxide composite material produced according to the present invention. Comparative example 4A voltage of 1.449V was applied to achieve 200mA/cm 2 Is capable of providing current densities of 70 and 275mA/cm for comparative example 3 and example 1, respectively, at a voltage of 1.4V 2
It can be seen that the performance of comparative example 4 is significantly lower than that of example 1, probably because the nanowires are too loose to be isolated from each other, which is detrimental to the mass transfer process between nanowires, and the nanosheet structure can better perform the interaction of the conductive substrate and the active species when used as a reaction platform of the chromia/nickel oxide composite, thus exhibiting superior UOR performance.
While the invention has been described with reference to the preferred embodiments, it is not limited thereto, and 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.
