the operation of this example was substantially identical to that of example 1, except that the anode reduction catalyst was changed from nickel platinized mesh to foam nickel (Pt-based catalyst was changed to Ni-based catalyst), the voltage was initially 0.16V, and the voltage was gradually increased over time, and the voltage was gradually increased to about 0.25V after continuous operation for 24 hours (fig. 7), with low energy consumption and good stability.
Comparative example 1:
in this example, the experimental group (asymmetric structure) had 70mL of NaHCO with a concentration of 1mol/L added 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 NaHCO with a concentration of 1.0mol/L was added to the cathode zone 3 As a catholyte, constant current electrolysis was performed with a direct current of 120 mA. In contrast, the control group (symmetrical structure) had 70mL NaHCO at 1mol/L in the anode region 3 And 0.02mol/L of substance (3) reduced 2-sulfonic acid-1, 4-hydroquinone (BQH) 2 ) As an anolyte, 70mL NaHCO with a concentration of 1.0mol/L was added to the cathode zone 3 And 0.02mol/L of substance (3) oxidation state 2-sulfonic acid-1, 4-Benzoquinone (BQ) as catholyte, and carrying out constant current electrolysis by using 120mA direct current. All experiments were carried out under atmospheric conditions (21% O) 2 ) Is carried out. As shown in fig. 8. The experimental group has the feasibility of long-term stable operation in an oxygen environment, the control group has the advantages that the single electrolysis voltage is continuously increased due to the fact that the catholyte contacts with oxygen in the atmosphere, the system capacity is continuously reduced due to continuous attenuation of reduced substances after multiple cycles, and the stable operation is difficult. Further proves that the asymmetric structure of the technology adopting the cathode hydrogen evolution has the capability of long-term stable operation in an oxygen environment.
Comparative example 2:
the procedure of this comparative example was substantially identical to that of example 1, except that 70mL of a solution having a concentration of 1mol/L was added to the anode regionNaHCO 3 And 0.02mol/L of a quinone Derivative (DHBQ) of substance (4) as an anolyte, 70mL of NaHCO having a concentration of 1.0mol/L was added to the anode region 3 As a catholyte, constant current electrolysis was performed with a direct current of 40mA, the system initiation voltage was 1.2V, and then the current was continuously decayed to 0A, failing to perform normal electrolysis. This comparative example illustrates the importance of the anode organic PCET reactant to the adaptation of the battery system.
