Description

Transition metal nitride Ni-Mo-N catalyst for hydrogen production by seawater electrolysis and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of catalytic materials, in particular to a transition metal nitride Ni-Mo-N catalyst for hydrogen production by seawater electrolysis and a preparation method thereof.
Background
Cl present in seawater - The interfering ions can cause catalyst poisoning, reduced stability and increased hydrogen evolution overpotential. Therefore, the electrolysis of seawater for Hydrogen Evolution Reaction (HER) puts higher demands on the activity and stability of the catalyst. In recent years, transition metal Ni-based catalysts are widely applied to the field of hydrogen production by alkaline electrolyte, and are artificially and hopefully substituted for noble metal Hydrogen Evolution Reaction (HER) catalysts. Some researches show that when Mo with a semi-filled d orbit is introduced into a Ni-based catalyst, the electronic structure of the catalyst is changed due to the electronic interaction between Ni and Mo, the HER energy barrier is reduced, and the hydrogen evolution activity of the catalyst is greatly improved. In addition, a non-metal N element is introduced into the transition metal catalyst to form the Ni-Mo-N catalyst, so that the stability of the catalyst in different electrolyte environments can be further improved.
The conditions for preparing transition metal nitrides are severe, mainly because nitrogen atoms are inserted into crystal lattices of transition metals, and are thermodynamically unfavorable, the nitrogen atoms are easy to diffuse out of the metal crystal lattices, and the nitridation of metals is relatively difficult. At present, the method for preparing Ni-Mo-N mainly comprises the steps of firstly preparing transition metal oxide Ni-Mo-O and then carrying out high-temperature nitridation in an ammonia atmosphere. This method has a problem that nitriding is incomplete and the catalyst contains an oxide or an elemental metal which is not nitrided.
The other method is that nickel chloride is used as nickel source, ammonium molybdate tetrahydrate is used as molybdenum source, the prepared precursor is stored in ice bath, finally precursor containing Ni and Mo is put in NH 3 Carrying out pyrolysis treatment in an atmosphere to obtain the Ni-Mo-N catalyst. The methodDue to catalyst precursors in NH 3 Nitriding in gas atmosphere, uncontrollable nitriding degree, and certain amount of non-nitrided NiMoO contained in catalyst 4 The activity of the catalyst is reduced. In the preparation process of the transition metal nitride HER catalyst, the control of the nitridation degree is difficult, and other phases with low activity or poor stability can appear due to poor control of the nitridation degree.

In addition, the amino group in the molecular formula can not only provide nitrogen during pyrolysis, but also regulate and control the pore structure of the catalyst in the high-temperature nitridation process, so that the catalyst forms a hierarchical pore structure, and the charge/mass transfer is promoted, thereby improving the activity of the catalyst.
(3) Dinitrile diamine is used as a secondary nitrogen source, and when nitriding is carried out in an argon atmosphere, a certain amount of hydrogen is added and a segmented temperature programmed nitriding method is adopted, so that sufficient nitriding and reduction of metal in the catalyst are further promoted, the catalyst is ensured not to contain other phases with low activity or poor stability, and the HER stability and activity of the catalyst are further improved.

1) The nitrogen-containing Ni complex is prepared as follows:
to 20mL of a 0.025mol/L ethanol solution of 5-amino-1H-tetrazole, 20mL of an ethanol solution of nickel chloride was slowly added dropwise with stirring, wherein the molar ratio of the nitrogen heterocyclic compound to the nickel chloride was 1.50. And after the dropwise addition, continuously stirring for 20min to obtain green precipitate, centrifuging, washing and vacuum-drying to obtain the nitrogen-containing Ni complex.
For comparison, (a) the above experiment was carried out with water instead of the solvent absolute ethanol, with the other conditions unchanged; (b) The solvent absolute ethanol was replaced by water with the other conditions being unchanged, while the stirring time was extended to 6h for carrying out the experiment.
2) The experimental results obtained in this example:

Therefore, the reaction time can be shortened by using the absolute ethyl alcohol as a solvent, and the nitrogen-containing Ni complex can be quickly synthesized under the condition of not adding other catalysts.
When water is used as a solvent, slowly dropwise adding the ethanol solution of nickel chloride into the ethanol solution of 5-amino-1H-tetrazole, wherein the color of the solution turns green after dropwise adding the nickel chloride solution, the color gradually deepens along with the increase of the adding amount, stirring is continued for 20 minutes after dropwise adding, no precipitate is generated, and the stirring time is prolonged to 6 hours, and no precipitate is generated. Shows that the metallic nickel in the solution is always Ni within 6h by using water as a solvent +2 In the form which does not react with 5-amino-1H-tetrazole to form a nitrogen-containing Ni complex.
Example 2
This Ni-Mo-N catalyst was prepared by the following method:
1) Preparation of NiMoN @ NC catalyst:
the synthetic route of the NiMoN @ NC catalyst is shown in FIG. 1, and specifically comprises the following steps:
soaking the carbon cloth in ethanol and 1M hydrochloric acid solution in sequence, performing ultrasonic pretreatment for 1h, and drying to remove pollutants on the surface.
Then the carbon cloth is treated by 0.5M sulfuric acid solution at 80 ℃ for 3 hours for standby. To a solution of 20mL of 0.025mol/L3,5-diamino-1,2,4-triazole in ethanol was slowly added dropwise, while stirring, 20mL of an ethanol solution of nickel chloride, wherein the molar ratio of the nitrogen heterocyclic compound to the nickel chloride was 1.25. And (4) after the dropwise addition, continuously stirring for 20min to obtain green precipitate, centrifuging, washing and drying in vacuum to obtain the nitrogen-containing Ni complex.
Adding a nitrogen-containing Ni complex into 80mL of distilled water, then adding ammonium molybdate, mixing, wherein the theoretical molar ratio of nickel chloride to ammonium molybdate is 1.25, transferring the mixed solution into a polytetrafluoroethylene lining reaction kettle, then adding treated carbon cloth, carrying out hydrothermal reaction at 150 ℃ for 6h, cooling to room temperature, taking out the carbon cloth loaded with a catalyst precursor, and drying at 70 ℃ overnight to obtain a NiMoN @ NC precursor for later use;
respectively placing the prepared NiMoN @ NC precursor and 2g of dicyandiamide in two quartz boats, heating the dicyandiamide at the upstream to 450 ℃ in the atmosphere of hydrogen/argon (the hydrogen content is 10%) for 1h, then heating to 700 ℃ for 2h, and heating at the rate of 3 ℃ for min -1 To obtain the NiMoN @ NC catalyst.
For comparison, other conditions are unchanged, and nickel chloride is used for replacing the nitrogen-containing Ni complex when the precursor is prepared; the catalyst prepared by nitriding in an argon atmosphere at the time of nitriding is designated as NiMoN @ NC-No-Ar catalyst.
2) The nimon @ nc catalyst SEM, XRD, TG characterization of the precursor, and impedance EIS characterization obtained in this example:
SEM characterization results for the NiMoN @ NC catalyst obtained in 1) are shown in FIG. 2. The results show that, as can be seen from fig. 2, the catalyst forms a regular strip-shaped morphology on the surface of the carbon cloth, and the particles are uniformly distributed without obvious aggregation phenomenon. In addition, comparative catalyst NiMoN @ NC-N 0 SEM image of-Ar is shown in FIG. 3, the surface NiMoN particles are fewer, and agglomeration phenomenon occurs. It is shown that the process of the invention not only promotes the formation of the active phase, but also helps to obtain a highly dispersed active phase.
For the catalyst obtained in 1) under NiMoN @ NCXRD characterization of the reagent is shown in FIG. 4. As can be seen from fig. 4, the characteristic peak appearing between 20 ° and 30 ° is derived from the graphite carbon peak of the carbon cloth. Peaks at 32.8, 37.2 °, 43.2 ° and 50.4 ° correspond to PDF #29-0931 standard card, typical of Ni 0.2 Mo 0.8 N characteristic peak. Further, the peak appearing at 43.7 ° is Ni 3 Characteristic peak of N (PDF # 10-0280). No observation of NiMoO 4 And characteristic peaks of other phases such as simple substance metal, etc., which show that the catalyst is fully nitrided and reduced, and the main phases are NiMoN and Ni 3 And (4) an N structure.
The TG characterization result of the NiMoN @ NC catalyst precursor shows that the catalyst has two rapid weight loss areas, the first weight loss is the removal of water, and the second weight loss is the decomposition of a ligand, and is near 350-430 ℃. If the temperature of the region is raised too fast, too much N is lost, which results in that the degree of nitridation of the metal cannot be guaranteed. Therefore, the use of the two-stage temperature programming method helps to promote the nitridation of the metal.
Respectively taking NiMoN @ NC and NiMo 3 N@NC-N 0 Ar is a working electrode, a calomel electrode is a reference electrode, a carbon rod electrode is a counter electrode, a three-electrode system is established, and the Nyquist impedance EIS of the NiMoN @ NC catalyst is tested in a 1M KOH solution, and the result is shown in figure 5. As can be seen from FIG. 5, it is similar to NiMo 3 N@NC-N 0 -Ar(R ct =1.1 Ω) has a lower R than that of nimon @ nc ct The value of (0.5 Ω) indicates that the catalyst of the present invention has good electrical conductivity. The amino contained in the nitrogen-containing Ni complex is mainly used for providing nitrogen during pyrolysis to ensure that the catalyst is fully nitrided, and the pore structure of the catalyst can be regulated and controlled in the high-temperature nitriding process to improve the conductivity of the catalyst, so that charge/mass transfer is promoted.
Example 3
The preparation method of the NiMoN @ NC catalyst comprises the following steps:
soaking the carbon cloth in ethanol and 1M hydrochloric acid solution in sequence, performing ultrasonic pretreatment for 1h, and drying to remove pollutants on the surface.

While stirring, slowly dropwise adding 20mL of nickel chloride ethanol solution into 20mL of 0.025mol/L3,5-diamino-1,2,4-triazole (N/C is more than or equal to 2.5), wherein the molar ratio of the nitrogen heterocyclic compound to the nickel chloride is 1.25. And after the dropwise addition, continuously stirring for 15min to obtain green precipitate, centrifuging, washing and vacuum-drying to obtain the nitrogen-containing Ni complex.
Adding a nitrogen-containing Ni complex into 80mL of distilled water, then adding ammonium molybdate, mixing, wherein the theoretical molar ratio of nickel chloride to ammonium molybdate is 1.75, transferring the mixed solution into a polytetrafluoroethylene lining reaction kettle, then adding treated carbon cloth, carrying out hydrothermal reaction at 180 ℃ for 3h, cooling to room temperature, taking out the carbon cloth loaded with a catalyst precursor, and drying at 70 ℃ overnight to obtain a NiMoN @ NC precursor for later use;
respectively placing the prepared NiMoxN @ NC precursor and 2g of dicyandiamide in two quartz boats, heating the dicyandiamide at the upstream to 400 ℃ in the atmosphere of hydrogen/argon (the content of hydrogen is 15 percent), keeping the temperature for 1h, then heating to 700 ℃ and keeping the temperature for 2h, and the heating rate is 3 ℃ for min -1 To obtain the NiMoN @ NC catalyst.
For comparison, the other conditions are not changed, (a) when preparing the precursor, the catalyst prepared by using nickel chloride to replace the nitrogen-containing Ni complex is recorded as NiMoN @ NC-No catalyst; (b) When preparing the precursor, nickel chloride is used for replacing the nitrogen-containing Ni complex; the catalyst prepared by nitriding in an argon atmosphere at the time of nitriding is designated as NiMoN @ NC-No-Ar catalyst.
The HER performance of the NiMoN @ NC catalyst obtained in the embodiment in alkaline solution is as follows:
respectively taking NiMoN @ NC, niMoN @ NC-No and NiMo 3 N@NC-N 0 Ar is used as a working electrode, a calomel electrode is used as a reference electrode, a carbon rod electrode is used as a counter electrode, a three-electrode system is established, and the HER catalytic activity of the NiMoN @ NC catalyst is tested in a 1M KOH solution, and the result is shown in figure 5. As can be seen from FIG. 5, the NiMoN @ NC catalyst is 10mA/cm 2 Overpotential η below 10 70mV with NiMo 3 N@NC-N 010 =110 mV) and NiMo 3 N@NC-N 0 -Ar(η 10 =129 mV), the overpotential is reduced by 40mV and 59mV respectively, which shows that the method provided by the invention can obviously improve the HER activity of the catalyst. In other words, under otherwise identical conditions, chlorination is replaced by a nitrogen-containing Ni complexFor nickel, the overpotential decreased by 40mV, and for nitridation with hydrogen/argon instead of argon, the overpotential decreased by 19mV. The Tafel (Tafel) curve is shown in FIG. 6, the Tafel slope of NiMoN @ NC catalyst is only 85mV/dec, which is lower than that of NiMo 3 N@NC-N 0 (97 mV/dec) and NiMo 3 N@NC-N 0 Ar (103 mV/dec), indicating that the prepared catalyst has good catalytic activity.

Then the carbon cloth is treated by 0.5M sulfuric acid solution at 80 ℃ for 3 hours for standby. To 20mL of a 0.025mol/L solution of 3,5-diamino-1,2,4-triazole in ethanol (N/C.gtoreq.2.5) was slowly added dropwise, with stirring, 20mL of a nickel chloride solution in ethanol, wherein the molar ratio of the nitrogen heterocyclic compound to the nickel chloride was 1.25. And (4) after the dropwise addition, continuously stirring for 20min to obtain green precipitate, centrifuging, washing and drying in vacuum to obtain the nitrogen-containing Ni complex.
