  • a supported catalyst includes supported nanoparticles as oxygen evolution catalysts for SPE electrolyser applications.
  • Carbon nanotubes were selected as supports due to their unique physical and thermal properties.
  • the CNT supported catalysts were developed by impregnation reduction method and evaluated for its stability and performance as SPE electrolyser anodes. Also, the preparation conditions of the supported catalyst were optimized with respect to pH, reducing temperature and loading of Ir on the support. An alternative synthesis method was also investigated, where highly dispersed and homogeneously distributed nanoparticles on the CNT support was achieved.
  • the supported nanoparticles were characterised electrochemically using chronoamperometric technique to study the stability of catalysts under SPE electrolyser operating conditions i.e., up to 1.8V.
  • CNT supported catalysts when electrochemically evaluated were found to be stable up to 1.7V, which is considered to be the maximum operating potential for the electrolyser to produce hydrogen at economically feasible power consumption.

  • the precursor solution was prepared by dissolving H 2 IrCI 6 -SH 2 O in HCI.
  • the pH of the suspension was adjusted to the required value by adding NaOH and a required volume of formaldehyde was then gradually added drop wise into the mixture with a burette and was left to stir over night.

  • FIG. 1 shows the chronoamperometric graphs of CNT supported IrO 2 at different potentials ranging from 1.4 to 1.8V. The results show that no noticeable current was produced at 1.4V but above 1.4V the OER activity was noted, which increased with the potential. The figure also reveals that the oxidized CNT supported catalysts are stable up to 1.7V. Above 1.7V, the stability of the supported catalysts dropped significantly with time and finally dropped to zero within 1200 seconds of operation. The results indicate that the support is oxidised above 1.7V. It is evident from Figure 1 that the catalyst is stable up to 1.7V, which is a feasible operating voltage for electrolysis. This study proves that CNTs can be used as supports for SPE electrolyser anodes. The activity of supported catalysts can be further improved by tailoring their preparation conditions.

  • the mass specific activity of the supported catalyst was found to be twice better than that of the commercial unsupported catalyst ( Figure 4).
  • the supported catalysts were prepared in a different way than described above.
  • H 2 IrCl6»6H2 ⁇ and sodium citrate (1-50: 1 weight ratio) were dissolved in ethylene glycol and stirred for 0.5-10 h to obtain the precursor solution.
  • CNTs were added into H 2 O/ethylene glycol mixture containing 1-90% H 2 O and mechanically stirred for 30 min and were then dispersed in an ultrasonic bath for 30 min.
  • the H 2 IrCU solution was added to the CNT slurry under stirring and then treated in an ultrasonic bath for 10-600 min. At the end of the reaction, the pH was adjusted within the range 6-14 using NaOH/ethylene glycol solution.
