The water electrolysis hydrogen production technology is known as the most ideal industrial hydrogen production method in the industry, and the most core problem of the technology is the development of preparing the electrocatalyst with high efficiency, stability and good quality. Currently, platinum-based catalysts are the most effective electrocatalysts, but their high cost and low storage volume severely restrict the widespread use of such catalysts.
Molybdenum carbide (Mo)2C) Due to the advantages of noble metal-like property, roasting resistance, sulfur resistance, nitrogen resistance, high melting point and the like, the catalyst has attracted wide attention in the field of catalysis, and becomes one of the most potential catalytic materials for replacing noble metals Pt and Pd. At present, the preparation methods of molybdenum carbide mainly comprise a chemical vapor deposition method, a temperature programmed reduction method and a carbon-heat hydrogen reduction method. The chemical vapor deposition method can prepare the film Mo with high specific surface and high quality2C catalyst, but the deposition efficiency of the process is low. Nanometer Mo can be prepared by temperature programmed reduction method2C catalyst, while having a high activity, but the process requires complexity and rigorThe synthesis conditions of (2) and the controllability are poor. The carbothermic hydrogen reduction method can synthesize high-performance Mo with high specific surface area and controllable grain size by controlling active components and temperature2And C, a catalyst. In terms of raw materials, the carbon source is synthesized high-performance Mo2One key of C, different carbon sources can synthesize Mo with different crystal structures2And C, a catalyst. At present, the carbon sources mainly used are gases such as ethane, methane, n-heptane and n-butane, and the carbon sources usually need to be mixed with hydrogen to realize carbonization to obtain Mo2And C, the synthesis process is complex. At the same time, Mo is present2C is synthesized by heating at a relatively high temperature, e.g. at 20% CH4~80%H2The mixed gas is a carbon source, the reaction temperature needs to be 700-900 ℃, and incomplete carbonization can be caused when the reaction temperature is low. Higher synthesis temperature can inevitably cause Mo2The sintering and agglomeration of C cause the reduction of the specific surface area of the catalyst, and seriously affect the exertion of the activity of the catalyst.

Detailed Description
The definitions of terms used in the present invention have definitions and meanings well known in the art.
In the preparation method of the molybdenum carbide nanosheet, the molybdenum source is preferably ammonium paramolybdate, and the molybdenum source is mixed with deionized water to form a solution, so that the solution is uniformly dispersed, the subsequent reaction speed can be controlled, and a product with uniform thickness can be formed.
In the preparation method of the molybdenum carbide nanosheet provided by the invention, the molar amount of molybdenum in the molybdenum source is as follows: (the molar amount of the ammonium nitrate and the molar amount of the glycine) is 0.5-1.0: 2.2-3.2, preferably 0.7: 2.5-2.9, for example 0.7:2.7, which is less than the ratio (0.5-1.0: 2.2-3.2), the ammonium nitrate and the glycine are too much and react violently, the generated temperature is too high, the generated precursor is easy to form a sintering adhesion state, an amorphous structure and a nano sheet structure cannot be completely formed, and meanwhile, the yield of the product is low compared with that of a molybdenum source. Above this ratio, too little ammonium nitrate + glycine would decompose the molybdenum source to the oxide. Wherein the mass of ammonium nitrate is: the mass of the glycine is 0.8-3.2, preferably 1.3-2.5: more preferably 1.8 to 2.3, for example 2.2, in a stoichiometric ratio, below or above which the temperature required for the decomposition of the molybdenum source is not reached, and in which the amount of gas released by the reaction is not sufficient to form the nanosheet structure. Ammonium nitrate and glycine are subjected to oxidation-reduction reaction, the reaction releases heat, a large amount of reducing gas is generated, the reducing gas not only acts on the reduction process of glucose, but also promotes a molybdenum source to form a precursor containing amorphous molybdenum oxide. The mass ratio of the glucose to the molybdenum in the molybdenum source is 0.8-1.0: 1.6-2.8, if the glucose is excessive, excessive amorphous carbon nano-sheets can be formed, and the amorphous carbon nano-sheets can not be completely reacted and eliminated in the process of carbon-hydrogen reduction, so that the product Mo can be generated2More carbon remained in C.
In the preparation method of the molybdenum carbide nanosheet, the step 1 is heated to 160-180 ℃ to obtain a mixture 1, preferably 165-175 ℃, the temperature is kept for 3-6 minutes, more preferably 170 ℃, the temperature is kept for 5 minutes, and a molybdenum source is heated to form a precursor containing amorphous molybdenum oxide.
In the preparation method of the molybdenum carbide nanosheet, the step 2 is heated to 230-280 ℃ to obtain a fluffy solid, preferably 240-270 ℃, the heat preservation time is 10-20 minutes, more preferably 250 ℃, and the heat preservation time is 15 minutes, the fluffy solid is a mixture of amorphous molybdenum oxide and amorphous carbon nanosheets, and the XRD diffraction spectrum shows that the fluffy solid forms an obvious amorphous diffraction peak at a diffraction angle of 23 degrees, which indicates that the fluffy solid consists of amorphous substances.
In the preparation method of the molybdenum carbide nanosheet, the step 3 is heated to 450-550 ℃, preferably 480-530 ℃, the heat preservation time is 1-3 hours, more preferably 500 ℃, the heat preservation time is 2 hours, the reaction needs to be carried out in a hydrogen atmosphere with the flow rate of 100-500 mL/min to ensure the progress of the hydrocarbon reaction, the flow rate is too low, the hydrocarbon reaction is insufficient, and Mo cannot be completely formed2C, the flow is large, which causes waste. The hydrogen atmosphere may be pure hydrogen, or hydrogen and other gases may be mixed, for example, hydrogen and nitrogen, or hydrogen and inert gas, and in principle, any gas containing hydrogen may be used, which has no influence on the temperature, but has an influence on the hydrogen flow rate, for example, hydrogen/nitrogen mixed gas, and the gas flow rate must be large enough to ensure sufficient hydrogen, and preferably pure hydrogen is used, and the flow rate is 100 to 500 mL/min.
The molybdenum carbide nanosheet prepared by the method can be used as a catalyst instead of noble metals Pt and Pd, and is particularly used in electrocatalytic hydrogen production. The analysis on the components and the morphology of the product shows that the prepared molybdenum carbide nanosheet is free from agglomeration, is irregular and flaky, has a large specific surface area and a good structural advantage, and can exert good catalytic performance.
In the present invention, the source of each raw material is not particularly limited, and the raw material may be obtained commercially or may be prepared by various conventional methods, and is preferably an analytically pure grade. In addition, in the present invention, the heating may be carried out in any manner as long as the reaction system can be maintained in a stable temperature range. For example, muffle furnaces, tube furnaces. In addition, the maintaining system may be a mixture of hydrogen and other inert gases, such as hydrogen and nitrogen, which are known to those skilled in the art and will not be described herein.

Fig. 9 is a scanning electron microscope photograph of the fluffy solid powder, and it can be seen from fig. 9 that the fluffy solid powder has a porous sheet structure, and the thickness is about 2 to 4 micrometers, so that a nano sheet structure cannot be formed, which is obviously different from fig. 2.
Fig. 10 is an XRD diffraction spectrum of comparative sample 2, and as can be seen from fig. 10, comparative sample 2 is composed of a major phase molybdenum carbide and a minor phase molybdenum dioxide, indicating that the molybdenum carbide phase cannot be completely synthesized. Fig. 11 is a scanning electron microscope photograph of comparative example 2, and it can be seen from fig. 11 that comparative example 2 still maintains the morphology before the reduction of hydrocarbon, i.e. porous sheet structure, and cannot form nano sheet structure, which is clearly different from fig. 4.
