Description

Cerium-vanadium bimetal hollow nano-pillar array type electrocatalytic material and preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of hydrogen production by water electrolysis, and particularly relates to a cerium-vanadium bimetallic hollow nano-pillar array type electrocatalytic material and a preparation method and application thereof.
Background
Development of sustainable green energy is an important approach to alleviating increasingly serious global energy and environmental crisis. Hydrogen energy, which has the characteristics of high energy density and zero carbon emission, is considered to be one of the most promising alternative energy sources for traditional fossil fuels. Electrochemical decomposition of water is attractive for large-scale hydrogen production due to its reliability and sustainability compared to other technologies. Unfortunately, the large-scale commercial application of electrochemically decomposing water is limited by aspects such as the much greater overpotential required to drive the overall electrolyzed water than theoretical (1.23V), poor stability of electrode materials, etc., and the need to develop highly efficient and durable electrocatalysts to reduce the overpotential of the anodic Oxygen Evolution Reaction (OER) and the cathodic Hydrogen Evolution Reaction (HER) and to increase the electrolyzed water efficiency. Ruthenium/iridium-based and platinum-based noble metal materials have heretofore been recognized as excellent OER and HER catalysts, respectively. However, the scarcity and poor stability of these materials severely hamper their commercial use. Therefore, the design and preparation of the non-noble metal electrocatalyst for accelerating the hydrolysis have important practical significance.
For many years, efforts have been made to develop transition metal compounds based on cobalt, nickel and iron-based materials as water electrolysis replacement catalysts. For example, transition metal-based oxides, hydroxides, phosphates and hydroxides exhibit excellent OER activity, whereas transition metal-based phosphides, selenides, sulfides and nitrides exhibit higher catalytic activity in HER. However, the catalytic performance and stability of the electrolyzed water of the materials can not meet the actual requirements, and development and exploration are required to be continued.
On the other hand, existing electrolyzed water catalysts are mainly powders, which require the application of a polymeric binder to coat the conductive substrate in electrochemical tests. This form can have some negative effects on the electrocatalytic reaction: the catalyst loading is reduced, resulting in limited active sites; the interface resistance between the catalyst layer and the conductive substrate is large, so that the electron transfer efficiency is affected; the adhesion between the catalyst layer and the substrate is weak, and the catalyst layer is easy to fall off in the electrochemical process. In contrast, the introduction of a catalytically active component onto a porous electrically conductive substrate, represented by Nickel Foam (NF) and carbon cloth, to construct a self-supporting electrocatalyst avoids the above-described problems. Another advantage of the self-supported electrocatalyst is that by controlling the morphology and microstructure of the porous substrate surface catalyst layer, the catalytic activity and stability thereof can be further improved. For example, the present subject group previously prepared two-dimensional ferronickel Metal Organic Frameworks (MOFs) nanoplatelets on carbon cloth by an in-situ hydrothermal method, and then constructed ferronickel phosphorous nanoplatelets self-supported electrocatalyst using a vapor deposition method, which exhibits excellent OER performance [Chai R Q,Zhou T Q,Sun D L,et al.Bimetallic-MOF derived nickel-iron phosphide nanosheets on carbon cloth for efficacious oxygen evolution reaction.International Journal of Hydrogen Energy,2022,47,36129-36138]. in alkaline solution, and in addition, the ideal electrocatalyst should have dual functions of catalyzing HER and OER in the same electrolyte solution, thereby improving the overall efficiency of electrolyzed water. Notably, existing electrolyzed water catalysts (including self-supporting electrocatalysts) are OER or HER mono-functional catalysts, with few OER and HER bi-functional electrocatalysts reported, which are mainly due to the large differences in OER and HER reaction mechanisms and processes. Based on the above discussion, the development of a bifunctional, self-supporting, non-noble metal catalyst with catalytic OER and HER is a critical issue that needs to be addressed by a vast number of scientific researchers.

The test reagents used in the following examples, unless otherwise specified, are all conventional biochemical reagents; the experimental methods are conventional methods unless otherwise specified.
The present invention will be described in detail with reference to the following examples and drawings.
Example 1
A preparation method of cerium-vanadium double-metal hollow nano-pillar array type electrocatalytic material. The cerium-vanadium bimetallic hollow nano-pillar array type electrocatalytic material prepared in example 1 is referred to as CeV-HNA/NF.
1. Preparation of materials:
The method comprises the following steps:
(1) 0.122g of vanadyl sulfate (0.75 mmol) and 0.125g of terephthalic acid (0.75 mmol) are dissolved in 54mL (3 mol) of deionized water (the molar ratio of the three is 1:1:4000), and ultrasonic treatment is carried out for 30min at normal temperature, thus obtaining a light green transparent vanadium-based synthetic liquid.
Transferring the vanadium-based synthetic solution into a stainless steel water thermal reaction kettle with a polytetrafluoroethylene lining, vertically immersing a substrate NF (thickness is 0.5mm, size is 1 x2 cm) into the vanadium-based synthetic solution, heating at 160 ℃ for 48h, and naturally cooling to room temperature. After the materials are taken out, deionized water and absolute ethyl alcohol are used for washing for a plurality of times, specifically: after soaking in deionized water in a beaker for 12 hours, replacing new deionized water, continuously soaking for 12 hours, and repeating the above operation twice again, wherein the purpose is to wash out unreacted substances; then, the mixture is soaked in ethanol for 12 hours, then new ethanol is replaced for further soaking for 12 hours, and the operation is repeated twice, so that deionized water in the previous step is removed. And finally, drying at 60 ℃ for 12 hours to obtain the V-MOF nano-pillar array supported by the substrate NF, namely V-MOF/NF.
(2) 4.122G of ceric ammonium nitrate is dissolved in 15mL of deionized water (molar concentration is 0.5mol L -1), then V-MOF/NF is vertically immersed in the ceric ammonium nitrate solution, and the mixture is stood for reaction for 12 hours; after cleaning with deionized water, drying for 12 hours at 60 ℃, and forming a CeV-MOF hollow nano-pillar array, namely CeV-MOF/NF, on the substrate NF.
(3) Finally, the CeV-MOF/NF is put into a ceramic boat, put into a muffle furnace, then purged for 1h by argon to remove air, and heated to 600 ℃ at a heating rate of 2 ℃ min -1 and kept for 2h, thus obtaining the cerium-vanadium bimetallic hollow nano-column array type electrocatalytic material, namely the CeV-HNA/NF.
2. CeV-HNA/NF as OER and HER bifunctional catalyst:
The electrocatalytic performance test was carried out at a CHI760E electrochemical workstation, the electrolyte was 1mol L -1 potassium hydroxide solution, and the effective electrode area was 1cm 2. The OER and HER tests employ a three electrode system with reference, counter and working electrodes of Ag/AgCl, carbon rod and CeV-HNA/NF, respectively. The scanning rate of the linear sweep voltammetry was 10mV s -1. The electrode potential was converted to a reversible hydrogen electrode potential (RHE) according to the following formula:
ERHE=E(Ag/AgCl)+0.0591*pH+0.197V
E (Ag/AgCl) is the voltage actually measured by using the Ag/AgCl electrode as a reference electrode, 0.197V is the standard potential of the used Ag/AgCl reference electrode, and the pH value of the electrolyte is the pH value of the electrolyte.
Commercial IrO 2 and PtC were used as control samples in OER and HER tests, respectively, and CeV-MOF/NF, V-NA/NF and CeO 2/NF were used simultaneously for comparison.
The preparation method of V-NA/NF comprises the following steps:
First, V-MOF/NF:
the preparation process is the same as in the step (1) of example 1;
Then, V-NA/NF was prepared:
the preparation process is the same as in step (3) of example 1, namely, the V-MOF/NF is put into a ceramic boat, put into a muffle furnace, then purged with argon for 1h to remove air, and heated to 600 ℃ at a heating rate of -1 min at 2 ℃ and kept for 2h to obtain the V-NA/NF.
The preparation method of CeO 2/NF comprises the following steps:
4.112g of ceric ammonium nitrate is dissolved in 15mL of deionized water (molar concentration is 0.5mol L -1), then a substrate NF (thickness is 0.5mm, size is 1 x 2 cm) is vertically immersed in the ceric ammonium nitrate solution, and the substrate NF is left stand for 12h; after cleaning with deionized water, the mixture was dried in a drying oven at 60℃for 12 hours.
Then, the obtained sample was subjected to high temperature calcination in the same manner as in step (3) of example 1, i.e., the sample was put into a ceramic boat, put into a muffle furnace, then purged with argon for 1h to remove air, and heated to 600℃at a heating rate of 2℃min -1 and kept for 2h to obtain CeO 2/NF.
The full water-splitting performance investigation adopts a double-electrode system, and CeV-HNA/NF is used as an anode and a cathode at the same time. And using commercial PtC and IrO 2 as anode and cathode cells as a control, testing was performed at 10mV s -1 and using chronoamperometry to investigate the full water stability of the catalyst.
FIG. 1 is an SEM image of V-MOF/NF produced in example 1. It can be seen that MOF grains with cubic columns are deposited on NF, covering the substrate NF.
FIG. 2 is an SEM image of CeV-MOF/NF of the sample of example 1. It can be seen that the CeV-MOF nanopillar array has become hollow after etching treatment with cerium salt solution.
FIG. 3 is an SEM image of CeV-HNA/NF obtained in example 1. It can be seen that the morphology of the CeV-HNA/NF obtained after roasting is similar to that of the CeV-MOF/NF, but the wall thickness of the hollow nano-column of the CeV-HNA/NF can be reduced.
FIG. 4 is an XRD pattern of CeV-HNA/NF obtained in example 1. From the figure, it can be seen that there are distinct peaks characteristic of CeO 2、V8C7 and V 2O5, which indicate that the material prepared is a complex of CeO 2、V8C7 and V 2O5.
FIG. 5 shows OER test results of CeV-HNA/NF, ceV-MOF/NF, V-NA/NF and CeO 2/NF、IrO2 obtained in example 1. As can be seen from FIG. 5, the overpotential of CeV-HNA/NF was smaller (220 mV) at 50mA cm -2 compared to CeV-MOF/NF, V-NA/NF, ceO 2/NF and the commercial IrO 2 catalyst, indicating that the OER performance of CeV-HNA/NF was optimal.
FIG. 6 shows the HER test results of CeV-HNA/NF, ceV-MOF/NF, V-NA/NF, ceO 2/NF and PtC obtained in example 1. As can be seen from FIG. 6, the overpotential of CeV-HNA/NF at 50mA cm -2 was smaller (125 mV) compared to CeV-MOF/NF, V-NA/NF, ceO 2/NF and commercial Pt/C catalysts, indicating that the HER performance of CeV-HNA/NF was optimal.
FIG. 7 is a graph showing i-t at a high current density of 100mA cm -2 for CeV-HNA/NF obtained in example 1. As can be seen from fig. 7, the CeV-HNA/NF can maintain the current density stable for 300 hours, exhibiting excellent stability.
FIGS. 8 and 9 are graphs showing the overall water splitting performance of CeV-HNA/NF obtained in example 1 as both anode and cathode of the water splitting cell. As can be seen from FIG. 8, ceV-HNA/NF was able to drive electrolyzed water to 10mA cm -2 at 1.52V, which is superior to the commercial Pt/C IrO 2 performance; as can be seen from FIG. 9, the CeV-HNA/NF can maintain the stability of the electrolyzed water for 150 hours at a high current density of 100mA cm -2, and has potential in practical application.
The CeV-HNA/NF obtained in the embodiment 1 has a three-dimensional porous substrate with good conductivity, and can ensure the efficient transmission of electrons and substances; the hollow nano-column array structure can ensure the full exposure of the active site and the release and transportation of the gas product; the synergistic effect of the bimetal and the large number of oxygen vacancies brought by etching can promote the further improvement of the catalytic activity. Thus, it was confirmed that it can significantly improve the efficiency and stability of electrolyzed water as OER and HER electrocatalysts, which are shown in the electrochemical properties shown in fig. 5 to 9. When CeV-HNA/NF was used as both the anode and cathode of the cell, the electrolyzed water was driven to 10mA cm -2 at 1.52V, which was superior to the commercial Pt/C IrO 2 performance, and the electrolyzed water stability was maintained for 150h at a high current density of 100mA cm -2.
Example 2:
The CeV-HNA/NF was prepared in the same manner as in example 1 except that the molar concentration of the ceric ammonium nitrate solution was adjusted to 0.4mol L -1 during the etching process, i.e., 3.302g of ceric ammonium nitrate was dissolved in 15mL of deionized water, and the other steps were the same as in example 1. The electrochemical test procedure of the prepared electrocatalytic material is the same as in example 1. The results show that when CeV-HNA/NF was used as both the anode and cathode of the electrolyzer, the electrolyzed water was driven to 10mA cm -2 at 1.65V, which is superior to the commercial Pt/C IrO 2 performance, and the electrolyzed water stability of 150h was maintained at a high current density of 100mA cm -2.
Example 3:
The CeV-HNA/NF was prepared in the same manner as in example 1 except that the molar concentration of the ceric ammonium nitrate solution was adjusted to 0.6mol L -1 during the etching process, i.e., 4.932g of ceric ammonium nitrate was dissolved in 15mL of deionized water, and the other steps were the same as in example 1. The electrochemical test procedure of the prepared electrocatalyst was the same as example 1. The results show that when CeV-HNA/NF was used as both the anode and cathode of the electrolyzer, the electrolyzed water was driven to 10mA cm -2 at 1.58V, which is superior to the commercial Pt/C IrO 2 performance, and the electrolyzed water stability of 150h was maintained at a high current density of 100mA cm -2.

Comparative example 5:
Under magnetic stirring, 0.233g of ammonium metavanadate, 0.580g of cobalt nitrate hexahydrate and 0.466g of terephthalic acid were dissolved in 50mL of a mixed solution of DMF and H 2 O (volume ratio: 1:1); then, introducing the substrate NF into the synthesis solution, and heating at 180 ℃ for 6 hours; washing the product with ionized water and ethanol, and vacuum drying at 60deg.C for 12 hr to obtain VCo-MOF/NF; finally, the treatment was carried out according to the calcination procedure of example 1, obtaining VCo/NF.
OER and HER performance testing of VCo/NF was performed following the procedure of example 1. As shown in FIGS. 12 and 13, the overpotential of VCo/NF at 50mA cm -2 was 380 mV and 397mV, respectively, and both were greater than the corresponding overpotential of CeV-HNA/NF of 220mV and 125mV, indicating that the catalytic activity was inferior to that of the electrocatalytic material prepared in example 1.
In summary, in comparative example 1, the concentration of cerium salt during etching was low, and the etching was not performed to an extent sufficient; in comparative example 2, cerium salt concentration was high during etching, and excessive etching caused damage to the MOF nanopillar array structure; in the above cases, a CeV-MOF hollow nano-pillar array with complete structure cannot be obtained, and a CeV-HNA/NF catalyst cannot be obtained. In comparative examples 3 to 5, the catalyst performance obtained by compounding Ce or V with Co, ni and Fe-based materials was comparable to that of the electrocatalytic material obtained in example 1 of the present invention. As can be seen from the SEM image of fig. 3, the structure of the hollow nano-pillar array obtained in example 1 is most complete. Exhibits excellent performance as HER and OER self-supported catalysts alone; when used as both anode and cathode of the electrolyzer, the electrolytic water can be driven to 10mA cm -2 at 1.52V, which is superior to the commercial Pt/C IrO 2 performance, and can maintain the electrolytic water stability for 150h at a high current density of 100mA cm -2.
The foregoing description of the preferred embodiments of the invention is not intended to be limiting, but rather is intended to cover all modifications, equivalents, alternatives, and improvements that fall within the spirit and scope of the invention.
