Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of hydrogen production by water electrolysis, in particular to an alkaline water electrolysis cell electrode and a preparation method and application thereof.
Background
The development of green hydrogen energy is critical to human sustainable development due to excessive consumption of fossil fuels leading to significant pollutant emissions and energy crisis. Electrocatalytic water splitting to produce hydrogen represents a clean and sustainable technique for converting renewable energy into green chemical fuels. Alkaline cells are a more mature, commercially widespread technology in which the cathode and anode electrodes immersed in an alkaline solution are separated by a membrane. At the cathode, water is split to form hydrogen and release hydroxide anions, which pass through the membrane and recombine at the anode to form oxygen.
In the electrochemical reaction process, the electrode needs to overcome the energy required by the activation barrier of the electrochemical reaction occurring at the electrode-electrolyte interface, bubble nucleation is formed at the active site of the electrode surface, and the bubbles can be separated from the electrode after the size of the bubbles grows to the critical size, so that the electrochemical hydrogen evolution or oxygen evolution reaction occurs and is kept. In fact, in the current alkaline water electrolysis technology, the kinetics of the nickel-based electrocatalyst used are slow, and in particular the complex four electron transfer process at the anode side generates a large overpotential, leading to increased production costs and reduced hydrogen production efficiency. In addition, a large number of documents indicate that the generated bubbles can cover the electrode surface due to the adhesion between the electrode and the bubbles, resulting in a reduction in the electrochemically active area, limiting the current density rise, causing voltage loss, generating unnecessary heat and causing uneven current distribution. The electrocatalytic property is related to the property of the material, so that in order to meet the requirements of industry on efficient hydrogen production, people are constantly striving to improve the oxygen evolution activity of the nickel electrocatalyst, improve bubble desorption to reduce electrode mass transmission, and realize a high-efficiency alkaline water electrolysis device.
In view of the above problems, recent researches have been made to achieve a great progress by adjusting and controlling the nickel electrode structure, microstructure, crystal structure, electrode composition and the like to enhance electrochemical activity and accelerate bubble elimination. As alkaline cells move toward higher operating current densities, nickel electrodes have also presented challenges in maintaining both efficient oxygen evolution kinetics and rapid bubble removal capabilities.
