Description

Self-supporting non-noble metal electrocatalyst material, and preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of electrocatalytic materials, in particular to a self-supporting non-noble metal electrocatalytic material, and a preparation method and application thereof.
Background
With the rapid development of society, the demand for global fossil fuels is increasing, and people inevitably raise concerns about energy shortage and environmental deterioration. To cope with the above problems, researchers have put a great deal of effort on renewable energy conversion and storage technologies, such as electrolyzed water and metal-air batteries.
Electrolytic water to produce hydrogen is considered an ideal, clean technique for producing high purity hydrogen. The electrolytic water is divided into two half reactions, cathodic Hydrogen Evolution (HER) and anodic Oxygen Evolution (OER), respectively. Among these, the complex four electron transfer process of OER and the large overpotential, slow kinetics are considered as bottlenecks for electrolysis of water, where intermediates such as OH and OOH are the main causes of energy and efficiency losses. Therefore, synthesizing an efficient OER electrocatalyst to reduce the overpotential required for electrolyzed water is very important for practical hydrogen production.
At present, noble metal oxide IrO 2 And RuO (Ruo) 2 Is widely regarded as a benchmark catalyst for OER, but its large-scale use is still significantly hampered by the scarcity of these metals and the associated high costs. For this reason, it is highly desirable to develop other elemental OER electrocatalysts that are cost effective and strong based on the abundance of earth elements. Among them, the two-dimensional LDH of the first row transition metal element (including Ni, co, and Fe) is a promising OER catalyst, which has advantages of simple synthesis process, low cost, high catalytic performance, and the like. However, LDHs themselves have poor conductivity and cannot sufficiently expose active sites, and generated bubbles adhere to the surface of the catalyst and are difficult to be exported in solution, thus degrading the performance and stability of the catalyst. Chinese patent document CN115386908A discloses an iron-cobalt-nickel double hydroxide nanocage electrocatalytic oxygen evolution material and a preparation method thereof, which can provide more exposed active sites and enhanced electron transport capability, but has very strict requirements on precursors and a more complex preparation method.
