Description
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of catalyst materials. More particularly, relates to a metal oxide-sulfide composite oxygen evolution electrocatalyst, a preparation method and an application thereof.
Background
Energy and environment are two important factors for maintaining the sustainable development of human society. With the gradual depletion of traditional fossil energy and the air pollution and greenhouse effect generated along with the combustion of the fossil energy, the search for a clean renewable energy source to replace fossil fuel is urgent.
Hydrogen energy has attracted attention as a pollution-free, high energy density energy source. The hydrogen production by electrochemically decomposing water has the advantages of simple operation, high electrolytic conversion rate and no waste gas emission, and is expected to replace the high-energy-consumption steam reforming hydrogen production technology. However, the cost of hydrogen production by water electrolysis is far higher than that of the traditional catalytic hydrogen production technology, and the hydrogen production cost is mainly limited by a noble metal catalyst required by the hydrogen and oxygen evolution reaction of water electrolysis. The anodic oxygen evolution reaction is an electrode reaction which is unfavorable in thermodynamics and slow in kinetics, the overpotential of the anodic oxygen evolution reaction is far higher than that of the cathodic hydrogen evolution reaction, and a catalyst is needed to reduce the overpotential and improve the reaction rate, so that the efficiency of the electrolytic water reaction is integrally improved.
Currently, the most effective commercial oxygen evolution electrocatalysts are iridium dioxide and ruthenium dioxide, but these two noble metal catalysts limit the large scale application of the hydrogen production technology by water electrolysis due to their scarce reserves and high price. In addition, some cheap transition metal oxides, sulfides and other materials can be used as electrocatalysts for the anodic oxygen evolution reaction, but the performances of the materials are still a certain distance away from the performance of the noble metal catalysts.
Therefore, it is of great significance to develop an anodic oxygen evolution electrocatalyst that is low in cost and has both high activity and stability.
