Description

Oxygen evolution reaction catalyst and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of hydrogen production by water electrolysis, and particularly relates to an oxygen evolution reaction catalyst and a preparation method thereof.
Background
Electrochemical water splitting is a promising technology for producing high purity hydrogen under mild conditions, and the great development of this technology is of great importance for the establishment of environmentally friendly energy systems. To drive electrolyzed water, a highly active and durable electrocatalyst is required to catalyze the hydrogen evolution reaction (Hydrogen Evolution Reaction, HER) and the oxygen evolution reaction (Oxygen Evolution Reaction, OER).
Pt and Pt-based nanomaterials are currently the most advanced high efficiency electrocatalysts for cathodic HER reactions. RuO 2 and IrO 2 and their composites generally have excellent activity for the OER reaction of the anode. However, these noble metals are low in abundance and high in cost, which greatly limits their application. Although a variety of non-noble and noble metal-based catalysts have emerged, there is still a need to further improve their performance, since the four-electron process occurring at the anode is kinetically slow, which greatly hinders the realization of efficient water splitting, also known as bottleneck half-reaction. Therefore, it is important to explore efficient non-noble metal OER electrocatalysts to reduce the activation barrier and accelerate the reaction, achieving high energy conversion efficiency.
At present, the non-noble metal-based OER electrocatalyst is concentrated in transition metal alloy, hydroxide, oxide, sulfide, carbide, nitrogen-containing material oxide and the like, and the non-noble metal-based OER electrocatalyst is subjected to multi-metal composite doping regulation and control to obtain a plurality of excellent electrolyzed water catalytic materials. The metal sulfide nano material can absorb electrons in transition metal due to the high electronegativity of sulfur atoms, so that a low-cost sulfide material with abundant electron, optical, physical and chemical property adjustability is formed, and a great deal of application research is carried out on renewable energy sources. The material is mainly composed of graphite-like layered structure material such as molybdenum sulfide and tungsten sulfide, and non-layered material such as iron sulfide, cobalt sulfide and nickel sulfide. However, these materials still face many difficulties such as large overpotential, low current density, unstable catalyst, etc., which directly lead to economic loss and energy waste. Some sulfide OER electrocatalysts have good short-term stability, but are unstable in long-term electrocatalysis, and are easily converted into stable oxides or hydroxides after reaction, and particularly the long-term stability is not maintained even more in industrial actual high current density reactions.
Therefore, OER catalysts obtained in the prior art can mostly run only under small current, and the stability of materials still has some problems, especially under high current reaction, many metal sulfides are easy to oxidize although the short-term stability is good, the long-term stability is to be improved, and the materials can only stay in a laboratory stage.

In addition, in the following description, specific details are provided in order to provide a thorough understanding of the examples. However, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that the aspects may be practiced without these specific details.
The embodiment of the invention provides an oxygen evolution reaction catalyst. The oxygen evolution reaction catalyst is a nickel sulfide-foam nickel material co-doped with iron and molybdenum, wherein the foam nickel is a substrate material. The microstructure of the nickel sulfide-nickel foam material co-doped with iron and molybdenum is a double-layer structure of an upper layer and a lower layer. Fig. 1 shows a scanning electron microscope image of the underlying structure of an oxygen evolution reaction catalyst according to one embodiment of the invention. Fig. 2 shows a scanning electron microscope image of a superstructure of an oxygen evolution reaction catalyst according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 1 and 2, the lower layer structure is a needle-like or rod-like nano array structure, and the upper layer structure is a layered multi-crack structure. The material of the lower layer structure is nickel sulfide-foam nickel material, and the material of the upper layer structure comprises iron element and molybdenum element.
According to the scheme of the invention, the nickel sulfide-foamed nickel material co-doped with iron and molybdenum is used as an oxygen evolution reaction catalyst, the microstructure of the nickel sulfide-foamed nickel material is a double-layer structure of an upper layer and a lower layer, the lower layer is in a needle-shaped or rod-shaped nano array structure, the upper layer is in a layered multi-crack structure, the material of the lower layer is nickel sulfide-foamed nickel material, and the material of the upper layer comprises iron element and molybdenum element. As the lower layer structure is in a needle-shaped or rod-shaped nano array structure, the specific surface area is larger, so that more active sites of iron and molybdenum in the lower layer structure are available, the transmission rate of electrons in the water electrolysis process is facilitated, the adsorption and desorption process of bubbles is further improved, and the oxygen evolution reaction catalyst is also a reason for excellent material performance under high current, and experiments prove that only 284mV of overpotential is needed under 1000mA cm -2. And the bimetal is doped and cooperates with nickel sulfide-foamed nickel material, so that the material has extremely high stability, and can stably operate for more than 2000 hours under the working condition of large current of 1000mA cm -2 (since the experiment only tests for 2000 hours, the operation can be expected to be stable for more than 2000 hours in 2000 hours).
FIG. 3 shows an X-ray diffraction pattern of an oxygen evolution reaction catalyst according to one embodiment of the present invention. As can be confirmed from fig. 3, the oxygen evolution reaction catalyst is mainly based on nickel sulfide-nickel foam, but XRD is not directly reflected due to the low doping content of iron and molybdenum and the possible presence of amorphous form. The presence of iron and molybdenum is demonstrated by the synchrotron radiation of fig. 4, so the material of the oxygen evolution reaction catalyst is indeed an iron and molybdenum co-doped nickel sulphide-nickel foam material, mo-Fe-Ni 3S2. As can be seen from fig. 2, at least a portion of the cracks in the upper layer structure expose the tops of the needle-like or rod-like nano-array structures. This can further improve the catalytic performance of the catalyst. And, the molar ratio of the iron element to the molybdenum element in the iron and molybdenum co-doped nickel sulfide-nickel foam material is any value ranging from 1:1 to 5, for example, can be 1:1, 1:2, 1:3, 1:4 or 1:5.
Fig. 4 shows a synchrotron radiation diagram of an oxygen evolution reaction catalyst according to one embodiment of the invention. As can be seen from fig. 4, the synchrotron radiation near side absorption spectrums of the nickel sulfide-nickel foam material co-doped with iron and molybdenum are all shifted to the high energy direction, so that the valence state of the iron element is greater than trivalent, the valence state of the molybdenum element is greater than hexavalent, the material type higher than the normal valence state is favorable for the oxygen evolution reaction process, the electron transmission rate in the water electrolysis process can be improved to the maximum extent, the material performance is improved to the maximum extent, and the operation stability under high current is improved.
Fig. 5 shows a schematic flow chart of a method for preparing an oxygen evolution reaction catalyst according to an embodiment of the invention. As shown in fig. 5, the preparation method includes:
Step S100, providing foam nickel;
step S200, performing in-situ vulcanization on the foam nickel by utilizing a hydrothermal method to obtain a nickel sulfide-foam nickel material;
and step S300, doping iron element and molybdenum element on the nickel sulfide-foam nickel material by utilizing a hydrothermal method to obtain the iron and molybdenum co-doped nickel sulfide-foam nickel material.
In the step S100, the nickel foam is cleaned nickel foam. The cleaning process is to sequentially ultrasonically clean the surface of the glass for 15 minutes by using acetone, ethanol, 5% HCl solution and water to remove surface oxides, which is beneficial to the next vulcanization process. The solvent used in the cleaning process of the foam nickel can be other solvents as long as the surface of the foam nickel can be cleaned better.
In the step S200, the raw materials for vulcanization in the hydrothermal method are neutral partial alkali, but are not neutral partial acid. Experiments show that the selection of the neutral partial alkali reductive vulcanization material can enable the foam nickel material to be more stable, and is more beneficial to the preparation of materials in the subsequent steps. The sulfidation raw material comprises sodium sulfide, formamidine, thioacetamide or sodium thiosulfate. Most preferably, the sulfidation material is sodium thiosulfate, and the product obtained by subsequent preparation has optimal performance.
In the step S200, the reaction condition of the hydrothermal method is that the temperature is increased from the room temperature of 25 ℃ to 90-210 ℃ at the heating rate of 1-5 ℃/min, and then the reaction is kept at one of the temperatures of 90-210 ℃ for 4-12h. The temperature rise rate may be, for example, 1 ℃,2 ℃,3 ℃,4 ℃ or 5 ℃. The final temperature may be 90℃or 120℃or 150℃or 180℃or any other value from 90 to 210 ℃. The incubation time may be, for example, 4 hours, 6 hours, 8 hours, 10 hours or 12 hours, or any other value from 4 to 12 hours.
In this step S300, the iron source in the hydrothermal method is selected as a ferric inorganic salt, for example, fe (NO 3)3·9H2 O, feCl3.6H2O or Fe 2(SO4)3·9H2 O. The molybdenum source is selected as molybdate or phosphomolybdic acid, wherein the molybdate may be sodium molybdate or ammonium molybdate, for example, wherein the molar ratio of the iron source to the molybdenum source is in the range of any one of 1:1 to 5, for example, 1:1, 1:2, 1:3, 1:4 or 1:5.
When the molybdenum source is phosphomolybdic acid, the phosphate radical ion in the phosphomolybdic acid can finely adjust the pH value in the water-saving thermal reaction, and can also avoid the direct reaction of the iron source and the molybdenum source to generate ferric molybdate complex precipitate. The resulting catalyst also performs better when the molybdenum source is selected as a molybdate, but is inferior to phosphomolybdic acid because phosphomolybdic acid itself is a polyoxometalate, an anionic cluster in the metal-oxygen cluster compound that aids in the incorporation of iron cations near the OER active site.
In the step S300, the reaction condition of the hydrothermal method is that the temperature is increased from the room temperature of 25 ℃ to 90-210 ℃ at the heating rate of 1-5 ℃/min, and then the reaction is kept at one of the temperatures of 90-210 ℃ for 4-12h. The temperature rise rate may be, for example, 1 ℃,2 ℃,3 ℃,4 ℃ or 5 ℃. The final temperature may be 90℃or 120℃or 150℃or 180℃or any other value from 90 to 210 ℃. The incubation time may be, for example, 4 hours, 6 hours, 8 hours, 10 hours or 12 hours, or any other value from 4 to 12 hours.
According to the scheme of the invention, the materials of the raw materials in the two-step hydrothermal method are selected, so that the cost of the raw materials is low, and the low-cost requirement of commercial application can be met. And the hydrothermal method is simple in preparation method, and can realize large-scale preparation, thereby meeting the industrial application requirements.
The following detailed description will be given with reference to specific examples, in which the various examples are only slightly modified for comparison purposes, but are not meant to limit the various material parameters and reaction parameters of the examples of the present invention to those of the following examples.
Embodiment one:
In this example, the method for preparing the oxygen evolution reaction catalyst comprises:
The first step: foam nickel (2 cm x 4 cm) 1mm thick was washed sequentially with acetone, ethanol, 5% hcl solution and water for 15 minutes each for use.
And a second step of: 3.5mmol of Na 2S2O3 was dissolved in 50mL of deionized water and stirred to form a homogeneous solution. Then the obtained uniform solution and the washed foam nickel are put into a 100mL autoclave, and kept at 150 ℃ for 6 hours, and the temperature rising rate is 3 ℃ and min -1. And after natural cooling, the final product is washed by water and ethanol for three times continuously to obtain nickel sulfide-foam nickel.
And a third step of: adding Fe (NO 3)3·9H2 O and H 3Mo12O40P·xH2 O in a molar ratio of 1:4 into 50mL deionized water, stirring for 10min, wherein the total metal molar mass is 0.3mmol, further placing nickel sulfide-foamed nickel and metal salt solution into a 100mL autoclave, maintaining at 120 ℃ for 12H, heating at 3 ℃ for -1, naturally cooling, continuously flushing the finally obtained black foamed nickel with water and ethanol for three times, and placing into a 50 ℃ drying box for 2H, thus obtaining the final material of the iron-molybdenum co-doped nickel sulfide-foamed nickel material.
Fig. 1 is a scanning electron microscope image of the product obtained in step two of the first embodiment. Fig. 2 is a scanning electron microscope image of the product obtained in step three of this example two. Fig. 3 is an X-ray diffraction diagram of the iron and molybdenum co-doped nickel sulfide-nickel foam material prepared after the third step. As can be seen from fig. 3, the characteristic peaks indicate that nickel sulfide was successfully produced.
In order to electrolyze water for the prepared iron and molybdenum co-doped nickel sulfide-nickel foam material, the iron and molybdenum co-doped nickel sulfide-nickel foam material is treated as follows: the prepared material was cut into 0.25cm -2 (0.5 mm x 0.5 mm) as working electrode. A three-electrode system was constructed using 1M KOH solution as the electrolyte, hg/HgO electrode (1M KOH) and graphite rod (8 mm diameter) as the reference and counter electrodes.
