PTFE-metal substrate with good gas diffusion and conductivity, and preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of metal substrate preparation, in particular to a PTFE-metal substrate with good gas diffusion and conductivity, and a preparation method and application thereof.
Background
Fossil raw materials such as coal, petroleum, natural gas and the like are always main energy sources for supporting economic and social development, and a large amount of carbon dioxide discharged from the use of fossil energy sources is an important cause for global climate change and sea level rise.
Among these, in response to the strategy of sustainable development, the conversion of CO2 into valuable chemical products by electrocatalytic means is one of the currently promising solutions. Electrocatalytic CO 2 RR products can be generally classified into C1 compounds (CO, CH 4, etc.); c2 products (C 2H4、C2H5 OH, etc.); c3 compounds (C 3H6、C3H7 OH, etc.). The C2+ products are generally considered to have higher energy storage value than the C1 products, so that the carbon dioxide in the air is reduced into high-value products such as C 2H4、C2H5 OH and the like by utilizing an electric reduction device, thereby realizing carbon circulation and zero emission; currently, there are many methods for controlling the flow of liquid. Various performance indexes of the carbon dioxide electroreduction device are close to the industrialization level; the carbon dioxide electroreduction device mainly comprises a gas diffusion electrode, a catalyst, electrolyte and the like, wherein the air permeability and the electric conductivity of the gas diffusion electrode are extremely important; therefore, polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) with strong hydrophobicity and breathability is an ideal material for manufacturing a gas diffusion electrode, but because it is an insulator, it is necessary to carry other conductive materials to use as a gas diffusion electrode, and if metal is directly used as a catalyst in a carbon dioxide electroreduction device, serious hydrogen evolution reaction is accompanied, and at the same time, no void will be detrimental to gas diffusion; therefore, there is a need for a PTFE-metal substrate with good gas diffusion and electrical conductivity.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention aims to provide a PTFE-metal substrate with good gas diffusion and conductivity, and a preparation method and application thereof, so as to solve the problems that a polytetrafluoroethylene breathable film has poor conductivity, and a direct metal is adopted as a catalyst in a carbon dioxide electroreduction device to be accompanied with serious hydrogen evolution reaction, and meanwhile, no gap is harmful to gas diffusion.
In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:
The basic technical scheme provided by the invention is as follows: a PTFE-metal substrate with good gas diffusion and conductivity, which comprises a PTFE breathable film layer, a fiber layer and a metal layer from bottom to top; the fiber layer is arranged on the upper layer of the PTFE breathable film layer in a venation mode, the fiber layer in a venation mode forms a hydrophobic framework, the metal layer is plated on the PTFE breathable film layer and the upper layer of the hydrophobic framework, and the metal layer is attached to the hydrophobic framework to form a metal framework.
Preferably, the metal layer is copper.
The preparation method of the PTFE-metal substrate with good gas diffusion and conductivity comprises the following steps:
s1, fixing a PTFE breathable film on a receiving device of electrostatic spinning equipment, placing a polymer solution or melt into a high-voltage electrostatic field of the electrostatic spinning equipment, enabling the polymer solution or melt to be charged and deform, forming taylor cone liquid drops at the tail end of a spray head of the electrostatic spinning equipment, spraying and depositing the taylor cone liquid drops on the PTFE breathable film, finally forming a venation-shaped hydrophobic fiber skeleton on the PTFE breathable film by controlling the position change of the spray head, and taking out the PTFE breathable film for later use;
S2, placing the polished copper particles in a corresponding evaporation source in a vacuum coating machine, fixing, adhering a PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) breathable film with a fiber framework above the evaporation source, enabling one surface of the PTFE breathable film with the fiber framework to face the evaporation source, starting to perform vacuum evaporation, gasifying the copper source into copper particles, and enabling the copper particles to fly to the surface of the PTFE breathable film to be condensed to form a copper film layer, so that the required PTFE-metal substrate is obtained.
Preferably, in S2, the evaporation rate of the vacuum coating machine isThe thermal evaporation current is 85-110A; the pressure of the thermal evaporation vacuum chamber is 5 multiplied by 10 -5~9×10-5 Pa; the thickness of the thermal evaporation coating film is 300nm, and is controlled by a crystal oscillator plate in a thermal evaporation instrument; the temperature of the thermal evaporation substrate is 25-60 ℃.
The PTFE-metal substrate obtained by the preparation method of the PTFE-metal substrate with good gas diffusion and conductivity is applied as a catalyst in catalytic reaction.
The technical proposal has the following principle and beneficial effects: the hydrophobic skeleton is made by electrostatic spinning technology on Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) ventilated membrane, the skeleton has porous characteristic, which is favorable for gas diffusion, then copper or other metals are plated on the Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) ventilated membrane and the skeleton thereof by vacuum thermal evaporation method. In the process of evaporation, metal forms a metal framework on the venuo-shaped fiber, so that the PTFE-metal substrate has better conductivity, and meanwhile, the adsorption of hydrogen on the surface of the metal catalyst is weakened due to strong hydrophobicity, so that the hydrogen evolution reaction rate is greatly reduced; in addition, the metal framework also enables the current distribution to be more uniform during the electrocatalytic carbon dioxide reduction, greatly improves the selectivity of the catalyst to high-value products under higher current density, and enables the carbon dioxide electroreduction under ultra-large current density to be possible to be industrially applied.

S2, polishing 6 copper particles with sand paper according to the requirement to remove surface dirt; placing polished copper particles at corresponding evaporation sources in a vacuum coating machine, fixing, adhering a Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) breathable film with a fiber framework above an evaporation copper source, and adjusting parameters of the vacuum coating machine as follows:
The evaporation rate is The thermal evaporation current is 100A; the pressure of the thermal evaporation vacuum chamber is 7 multiplied by 10 < -5 > Pa; the thickness of the thermal evaporation coating film is controlled to be 300nm, and the temperature of the thermal evaporation substrate is controlled to be 50 ℃; after the parameters are set, starting to perform vacuum evaporation, gasifying a copper source into copper particles, enabling the copper particles to fly to the surface of a Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) breathable film to be coagulated to form a copper film layer, and taking out the copper film layer to obtain a PTFE-metal substrate with good gas diffusion and conductivity (shown as a graph in figure 3).
The PTFE-metal substrate prepared by the above procedure was compared with the substrate without a skeleton, and the test data are shown in fig. 4 (a set of bar graphs sequentially shows the faraday efficiency of CH 2、C2H2、CO、H2 from top to bottom), so that it can be seen that more high-value C2 products can be obtained in the case of the metal substrate with a skeleton, and less H 2 is precipitated from the metal substrate with a skeleton, which inhibits the hydrogen evolution reaction efficiency.
