Description

Preparation method and application of cerium-doped nickel-iron oxide gas diffusion electrode
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of water electrolysis, and particularly relates to a preparation method and application of a cerium-doped nickel-iron oxide gas diffusion electrode.
Background
In recent years, the worldwide renewable energy consumption continues to increase, and the water electrolysis hydrogen production technology has become mature and can be applied for 50 years ago. However, the specific gravity of the hydrogen produced in this way in the total world hydrogen production remains very small. Alkaline liquid electrolyzer water electrolysis is a relatively mature technology, and the number of units operated in 1902 years reaches more than 400. The service life of the alkaline water electrolyzer can reach 15 years, and the alkaline water electrolyzer electrolysis technology becomes the commercial water electrolysis hydrogen production technology with the longest operation time all over the world. The core in the electrolysis process is the electrocatalyst required for the electrochemical reaction, which directly affects the electrolysis efficiency, electrolysis energy consumption, electrolysis cost and the lifetime of the electrolysis cell. There is a recent trend towards increasing research on non-noble metal oxygen evolution catalysts used under alkaline conditions.
Patent CN104659357a discloses a preparation method of a carbon-supported nickel-iron hydroxide composite material. Although the catalyst prepared by the method has good oxygen evolution electrocatalytic activity under alkaline conditions, the catalyst cannot overcome the defects that the supported catalyst taking a carbon material as a carrier has serious corrosion problem of the carrier under the electrolysis voltage tested by an alkaline full-electrolysis cell, and the long-term operation life of the full-electrolysis cell is influenced. Patent CN105618060a discloses a non-metal bifunctional oxygen catalyst of graphene/ferronickel hydrotalcite, and in the practical application process, catalyst particles are difficult to be orderly arranged, so that higher dispersity is difficult to obtain, and the utilization rate of the catalyst is not high.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention aims to provide a preparation method and application of a cerium-doped nickel-iron oxide gas diffusion electrode, and the gas diffusion oxygen evolution electrode prepared by the method can enable oxygen evolution reaction in an electrochemical process to be carried out efficiently under a small external bias.
In order to achieve the above purpose, the technical scheme adopted by the invention is as follows:
the invention provides a preparation method of a cerium-doped nickel-iron oxide gas diffusion electrode, which comprises the following steps:
(1) Hydrothermal reaction: dissolving nickel inorganic salt, an iron inorganic salt precursor and an alkali source in water, and stirring to obtain a precursor solution; immersing a porous metal substrate in the precursor solution, performing hydrothermal reaction, then cooling to room temperature, washing an electrode, and drying for later use;
(2) And (3) soaking and roasting: dissolving cerium salt precursor in water, and stirring to obtain impregnation liquid; and (3) carrying out first-stage roasting treatment on the electrode obtained in the step (1), immersing the roasted electrode in impregnating solution, taking out the electrode, and carrying out second-stage roasting treatment to obtain the cerium-doped nickel-iron oxide gas diffusion electrode.
In the technical scheme, in the step (1), the hydrothermal reaction temperature is 100-180 ℃ and the hydrothermal reaction time is 5-15 h;
the drying is vacuum drying, the drying temperature is 50-80 ℃, and the drying time is 6-12 h;
in the precursor salt solution, the mass concentration of the total substances of the nickel inorganic salt and the iron inorganic salt precursor is 0.1-3 mM, and the mass ratio of the nickel to the iron is 1:9-1:1;
the alkali source is one or more of urea, potassium hydroxide and sodium hydroxide, and the mass concentration of the alkali source in the precursor solution is 10-50 mM.
In the above technical scheme, in step (1), the time required for stirring to obtain the transparent solution is more than 30 min.
In the above technical solution, in step (1), the porous metal substrate further includes any one of foam nickel, nickel felt, nickel mesh, stainless steel felt, and stainless steel mesh.
In the above technical scheme, in the step (2), the mass concentration of the cerium salt precursor in the impregnating solution is 0.1-3 mM;
the temperature of the first stage roasting treatment is 400-450 ℃ and the time is 3-15 h, and the roasting is performed in air atmosphere; the temperature of the second stage roasting treatment is 100-200 ℃ and the time is 3-15 h, and roasting is performed in air atmosphere.
In the above technical scheme, in step (2), the time required for stirring to obtain the transparent solution is more than 30 min.
In the above technical scheme, further, in the step (2), the obtained product is a cerium doped nickel-iron oxide gas diffusion electrode, the electrode comprises a porous metal substrate and a nickel-iron oxide adhesion layer covered on the surface of the porous metal substrate, and the final morphology characteristics of the nickel-iron oxide adhesion layer are as follows: the diameter is 2-3 mu m, the thickness is 50-100 nm, the surface of the nanometer sheet is rough.
The invention also provides an application of the cerium-doped nickel-iron oxide gas diffusion electrode, wherein the electrode is used as an oxygen evolution catalyst and applied to RFC, photoelectrocatalysis, APE water electrolysis cells or alkaline water electrolysis hydrogen generators and oxygen evolution reactions of metal-air fuel cells.
The beneficial effects of the invention are as follows:
1. the conventional impregnation method is difficult to prepare ordered, thinner and uniform electrode catalytic layers, and the hydrothermal synthesis method can realize accurate regulation and control of electrode structures and controllable preparation of ordered electrodes. However, mixing Ce precursor in the precursor solution of the hydrothermal reaction may cause pulverization of the electrode substrate, and it is difficult to ensure the success rate of electrode preparation. According to the invention, after staged roasting treatment, the electrode is heated and decomposed to form oxide in the first stage of roasting, and the oxide is converted from a smooth surface to a rough surface, so that a cavity structure favorable for impregnation is formed. The main microstructure of the gas diffusion electrode is formed after the first stage roasting, so that in the second stage roasting process, by reducing the roasting temperature, the Ce precursor is doped in a cavity formed by decomposing hydroxide, and meanwhile, the substrate structure formed by the first stage roasting is kept, so that the cerium doped nickel-iron oxide gas diffusion electrode which is more stable than the Ce precursor solution is added into the reaction solution is obtained, and further, the activity and the stability are better.
2. The traditional dipping roasting method does not consider substrate change caused by repeated high-temperature roasting, and is only optimized for the development and preparation of the catalyst supported by the electrode, and the method adopts the combination of hydrothermal synthesis and dipping roasting, so that the effective doping of Ce element can be realized on the surface of the ordered supporting electrode, and the electrode preparation success rate is improved.
