Different organic PCET substances have proven suitable for use in this technical system.
Example 6:
the operation procedure of this example is substantially the same as that of example 1 except that the anode reduction catalyst is changed from a nickel platinized mesh to foamed nickel (Pt-based catalyst to Ni-based catalyst), the voltage is 0.16V at the beginning, and the voltage is gradually increased with time, and after 24 hours of continuous operation, the voltage is gradually increased to about 0.25V (fig. 7), and the energy consumption is low and the stability is good.
Comparative example 1:
in this example, the experimental group (asymmetric structure) was prepared by adding 70mL NaHCO at 1mol/L concentration to the anode region 3 And 0.02mol/L of substance (3) reduced 2-sulfonic acid-1, 4-hydroquinone (BQH) 2 ) As an anolyte, 70mL of NaHCO with a concentration of 1.0mol/L were added in the cathode compartment 3 As a catholyte, constant current electrolysis was carried out with a direct current of 120 mA. For comparison, the control (symmetrical structure) was prepared by adding 70mL NaHCO at 1mol/L to the anode area 3 And 0.02mol/L of substance (3) reduced 2-sulfonic acid-1, 4-hydroquinone (BQH) 2 ) As an anolyte in70mL NaHCO with concentration of 1.0mol/L is added into the cathode zone 3 And 0.02mol/L of substance (3) in the oxidation state 2-sulfonic acid-1, 4-Benzoquinone (BQ) as a catholyte, and constant current electrolysis was carried out with a direct current of 120 mA. All experiments were carried out in atmospheric environment (21%) 2 ) The process is carried out. As shown in fig. 8. The experimental group has feasibility of long-term stable operation in an oxygen environment, while the control group is difficult to stably operate due to the fact that the catholyte contacts oxygen in the atmosphere to cause continuous increase of single electrolytic voltage and continuous reduction of system capacity caused by continuous attenuation of reduced substances after multiple cycles. Further proves that the asymmetric structure of cathodic hydrogen evolution adopted by the technology has the capability of long-term stable operation in an oxygen environment.
Comparative example 2:
the procedure of this comparative example is essentially identical to that of example 1, except that 70mL of NaHCO with a concentration of 1mol/L are added in the anode section 3 And 0.02mol/L of substance (4) quinone Derivative (DHBQ) as anolyte, 70mL of NaHCO with concentration of 1.0mol/L is added in the cathode region 3 When the electrolyte is used as catholyte, constant current electrolysis is carried out by direct current of 40mA, the initial voltage of the system is 1.2V, and then the current continuously attenuates to 0A, so that normal electrolysis cannot be carried out. This comparative example illustrates the importance of the anodic organic PCET reactant in adapting to the battery system.
