Technical Field

Background
Hydrogen has a high energy density (120-140 MJ) . kg -1 ) Flexibility and environmental friendliness, is an ideal energy carrier. Electrolytic water hydrogen production is widely studied by many researchers as the most potential green hydrogen energy supply mode. The current common modes of water electrolysis for hydrogen production are alkaline water electrolysis and proton exchange membrane water electrolysis (PEM), wherein the Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) electrolysis has a relatively high current density (1-2A . cm -2 ) And shorter start-up times (5-10 min), but the bipolar plates require noble metals (platinum or iridium) and titanium powder as catalysts, and the cost of key components such as proton exchange membranes and platinum electrode catalysts is high, resulting in high manufacturing cost of PEM electrolytic cells; the alkaline water electrolysis has good compatibility with non-noble metal catalysts, high maturity and lower cost, and is a main industrial hydrogen production mode by water electrolysis.
The alkaline diaphragm electrolysis is mainly completed through an electrolytic tank with a cathode chamber and an anode chamber, and the diaphragm is used as a core component for ion conduction and isolation of oxyhydrogen gas permeation, so that the operation safety of the electrolytic device is ensured. The current diaphragms used for producing hydrogen by alkaline water electrolysis comprise inorganic diaphragms, organic diaphragms and inorganic-organic composite diaphragms. The inorganic diaphragm is mainly asbestos, but because of the swelling property and chemical instability of the asbestos diaphragm, the pure asbestos diaphragm can be seriously swelled in a specific running environment, particularly under high current load, so that the mechanical strength of the diaphragm is reduced, the service life of the diaphragm is shortened, the current efficiency is obviously reduced, and the asbestos dust also causes the damage of lung diseases. The organic diaphragm is mainly polyphenylene sulfide woven cloth, has large aperture, is difficult to effectively isolate gas, and cannot adapt to the pressurized operation environment to limit the performance and structural optimization of the electrolytic tank. Therefore, the inorganic-organic composite membrane becomes a research hot spot for producing hydrogen by electrolyzing water with an alkaline membrane.
For example, patent CN114432906a discloses a high-temperature-resistant alkaline water electrolysis cell composite diaphragm and a preparation method thereof, wherein polysulfone and ZrO are selected 2 Preparing slurry by using PPS (polyphenylene sulfide) reticular fibers as a support, soaking the PPS reticular fibers in the slurry, determining the thickness, then carrying out knife coating, pre-evaporating, carrying out phase inversion by using deionized water, and washing the slurry with the deionized water for multiple times to obtain the polyphenylene sulfide reticular support polysulfone-ZrO 2 And (3) a composite membrane.
CN114432905A discloses a non-asbestos alkaline electrolytic water composite diaphragm and a preparation method thereof, which uses high alkali resistance polysulfone resin and a high polymer reinforcing agent as polymers and ZrO 2 The polymer is subjected to hydrophilic modification, so that the surface resistance is effectively reduced, and the current efficiency is improved.
The composite diaphragm provided by the patent improves the current efficiency to a certain extent and has good corrosion resistance, but the composite diaphragm has poor gas barrier property and is only suitable for normal pressure hydrogen production equipment, and the safety problem of hydrogen and oxygen permeation exists after pressurization.

Comparative example 1
The comparative example provides a composite membrane for producing hydrogen by alkaline water electrolysis, wherein the support net composite membrane containing the coating prepared in the step (2) in the example 1 is directly used as the composite membrane for producing hydrogen by alkaline water electrolysis without interfacial polymerization reaction.
Comparative example 2
The comparative example was a Japanese Toli polyphenylene sulfide separator with a thickness of 0.5.+ -. 0.1mm.
Comparative example 3
This example differs from example 1 only in that the aqueous phase in step (3) is free of the surfactant sodium dodecyl sulfate.
Comparative example 4
This example differs from example 1 only in that the aqueous phase in step (3) is free of the porogen polyvinylpyrrolidone.
Comparative example 5
The present embodiment differs from embodiment 1 only in that the water phase composition in step (3) is: 1g of polyethyleneimine, 1g of sodium dodecyl sulfate, 1g of polyvinylpyrrolidone and 97g of deionized water.
The separators of each of the examples and comparative examples were subjected to the following tests for surface resistance, pore diameter, gas permeability and operating electrolysis voltage:
(1) Surface resistance test:
the surface resistance of the composite membrane is tested by adopting Prlington PARSTAT 3000-DX, the composite membrane is fixed by adopting a stainless steel clamp, KOH solution with the concentration of 30wt.% is added to two sides of the composite membrane, the composite membrane is packaged and sealed, and then an anode and a cathode are clamped by an electrode clamp for testing, and the test results are shown in table 1.
TABLE 1
As can be seen from table 1, the commercial polyphenylene sulfide separator of comparative example 2 has a higher surface resistance; the surface resistances of the surface cross-linked film samples of examples 1 to 5 were increased compared to the film sample of comparative example 1 which was not surface cross-linked; the cross-linked layer generated by the comparative example 4 without adding the pore-forming agent is compact, and the surface resistance of the film sample is large; in comparative examples 3 and 5, the crosslinked layer formed by the addition of no surfactant or the reduction of the organic phase component had a larger number of micropores, and the surface resistance was reduced as compared with example 1. In addition, for the film thickness, the difference exists in the film scraping process, the polyphenylene sulfide woven net is not necessarily in the middle position of the film casting liquid, so that the thickness of the pattern is deviated, the more dense the polyphenylene sulfide woven net with larger mesh number is, the less the film casting liquid permeates, and the larger the film thickness is.

the composite membrane was tested for bubble point pressure, bubble point pore size, average pore size, gas permeability (oxygen) using Bei Shide BSD-PB and the test results are shown in table 2.

As can be seen from table 2, the film sample without surface cross-linking layer treatment in comparative example 1 and the commercial polyphenylene sulfide membrane of comparative example 2 exhibited lower bubble point pressure and higher gas permeability values, which were detrimental to hydrogen production by water electrolysis; the film samples subjected to surface cross-linking treatment in examples 1 to 5 all have lower gas permeability and show better gas barrier capability; the cross-linked layer generated by the comparative example 4 without adding the pore-forming agent is compact, the bubble point pressure is high, and the oxygen permeability is low; in comparative examples 3 and 5, the crosslinked layer formed by adding no surfactant or reducing the organic phase component has more micropores, which is favorable for the electrolyte to pass through, so the bubble point pressure is slightly smaller and the oxygen permeability is slightly higher.
(3) Running current voltage test:
the composite diaphragm is installed in an electrolytic tank with the effective area of 50mm multiplied by 50mm, and the operation electrolysis voltage test of alkaline electrolyzed water is carried out, wherein the test conditions are as follows: 30wt.% KOH solution, 80 ℃,1.8V, 3 times with average value, and test results shown in Table 3.
TABLE 3 Table 3
As can be seen from table 3, the commercial polyphenylene sulfide separator of comparative example 2 has poor electrolytic performance; the film sample of comparative example 1, which was not treated with the surface cross-linking layer, exhibited the most excellent electrolysis performance, but the higher gas permeability value limited its application; the film samples subjected to surface crosslinking treatment in examples 1 to 5 exhibited good gas barrier ability and electrolytic performance; in the comparative example 4, the crosslinked layer generated without adding the pore-forming agent is compact, and the running current and the running voltage are lower due to the blockage of permeation of electrolyte and bubble removal; in the comparative example 3, the cross-linking layer generated by not adding the surfactant has more micropores, is beneficial to the passing of electrolyte and has higher running current and voltage; in comparative example 5, the organic phase component was reduced, the surface cross-linking layer active material was reduced, and the operation current and voltage were low, which was difficult to withstand the strongly alkaline operation environment.
The test results of tables 1-3 show that the composite diaphragm prepared by the invention has the advantages of increased bubble point pressure, reduced bubble point pore diameter and average pore diameter, and particularly greatly reduced gas permeability, and the gas-blocking crosslinked layer adopted in the invention has good effect. From the electrolyzed water operation data, although comparative example 1, which does not employ a crosslinking layer, obtained higher electrolysis efficiency, the addition of the crosslinking layer, from the viewpoint of device safety, obtained a significant improvement in hydrogen and oxygen gas barrier capability with less current density loss, was more advantageous than the disadvantage.
