Description

Lewis acid metal doped cobaltosic oxide electrode and preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of nano material preparation and clean energy, and particularly relates to a Lewis acid metal doped tricobalt tetraoxide electrode, a preparation method and application thereof.
Background
The disclosure of this background section is only intended to increase the understanding of the general background of the invention and is not necessarily to be construed as an admission or any form of suggestion that this information forms the prior art already known to those of ordinary skill in the art.
Hydrogen (H) 2 ) As a sustainable and safe energy source, it has 142.351MJ kg -1 And does not discharge any pollution. Is important to solve the current urgent environmental crisis and insufficient supply of fossil energy. Electrolytic water hydrogen production must include an anodic half reaction, typically an Oxygen Evolution Reaction (OER), in addition to a cathodic hydrogen evolution half reaction (HER). However, the development of highly active and stable OER catalytic electrodes is critical for the electrolysis of aqueous hydrogen because of its slow, multi-step proton-coupled electron transfer process, which greatly impedes the overall efficiency of the electrolysis of aqueous hydrogen.
Another significant problem with hydrogen production from electrolyzed water is the lack of natural fresh water resources, and the use of fresh water as an electrolyte for the electrolysis of aqueous hydrogen will place a heavy pressure on the important water resources. The ocean occupies 96.5% of water reserves of the earth, provides infinite hydrogen resources without seriously affecting global fresh water resources, and is a promising electrolyte for preparing hydrogen by electrolyzing water in the future. However, the activity and stability of the OER electrocatalyst for producing hydrogen by seawater electrolysis are not ideal due to the interference of various metal ions in the seawater, and the industrial requirement cannot be met all the time. However, direct electrolysis of natural seawater is still in the onset stage due to the complexity of the natural seawater components. For this purpose, a seawater reverse osmosis system and a conventional electrolyte are coupled together, and the desalination treatment is carried out to obtain fresh water and then electrolyze the fresh water. Alternatively, the seawater is purified by acidification or alkalization and then electrolyzed. However, these require complicated pretreatment steps and are costlyAnd measuring manpower and material resources. Thus, direct seawater electrolysis without purification processes and chemical additives is very attractive and researchers have been devoted to this direction of research for up to 40 years, but the key challenges of this technology remain in terms of catalyst design and plant construction. Electrocatalytic materials are low in catalytic efficiency and poor in stability under near neutral (pH 8.0) conditions, and more importantly, a great deal of harmful chloride ions and cations including magnesium ions, calcium ions and the like exist in natural seawater. In particular, the chloride anions (Cl) present in natural seawater - 0.5M) will lead to chlorine evolution side reactions (ClER) at the anode, competing with OER. While OER has thermodynamic advantages, its complex four electron transfer reaction is more retarded than the ClER reaction kinetics of only two electrons. In this case, detrimental oxidation/corrosion of chlorine may result, further reducing the overall electrolysis efficiency and severely eroding the catalyst. In addition, chloride corrosion and poisoning by insoluble precipitates or microorganisms can also impair the stability and service life of the electrode material, which places higher demands on the structural stability and corrosion resistance of the electrode material. Thus, to meet the subsequent industrial seawater electrolysis applications, a current density (50-150 mAcm) was developed that could be driven at low potential (below 700 mV) in direct seawater -2 ) OER electrocatalysts that maintain good stability are very necessary and challenging.
