Description

Iridium oxide-platinum composite nano catalyst, preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of water electrolysis, and particularly relates to an iridium oxide and platinum composite anodic oxygen evolution nano catalyst, and a preparation method and application thereof.
Background
Hydrogen energy is an environment-friendly energy source, and is more environment-friendly and efficient compared with fossil energy. The method for producing hydrogen by utilizing water electrolysis is a safe and green method with high practical value for obtaining hydrogen, and is widely applied to various fields in industry. The Solid Polymer Electrolyte (SPE) water electrolysis hydrogen production technology has the advantages of high purity of the prepared gas product, less process maintenance, low hydrogen production cost and the like.
Water electrolysis relates to two electrode reactions, the reversibility of a hydrogen electrode (cathode) reaction is good, the research is relatively mature, the overpotential of a hydrogen electrode material is reported to be reduced to dozens of millivolts, the reaction process of an oxygen electrode (anode) is slow, the number of intermediate processes and intermediate products is large, the overpotential of the hydrogen electrode material is often hundreds of millivolts, the oxygen evolution potential is high, and the catalysis condition is harsh. Therefore, the anode has high requirements on the stability of the catalyst, and even the noble metal materials are in high potential and acidic environment, the anode is in the problems of corrosion and dissolution, which makes the anode catalyst in great challenge and is also a key link for limiting the development of water electrolysis. Therefore, the depolarization of the anode has important significance for reducing the energy consumption of the whole water electrolysis hydrogen production process, and the oxygen evolution depolarization of the anode mainly depends on an anode catalyst.
At present, the anode catalyst mainly adopts metal, metal oxide and alloy catalyst with oxygen evolution capability and corrosion resistance, such as Ir, Ru, Pt, Ir oxide, Ru oxide and the like. In a strong oxidation environment in which the catalyst is contacted with a strong-acid Nafion proton conductor and oxygen atoms exist, non-noble metals such as Ni, Co and the like are easily oxidized or corroded and dissolved, and although a non-noble metal-doped composite catalyst is researched, the catalyst actually applied to large-scale production is few at present. Therefore, the SPE water electrolysis oxygen evolution electrode still uses noble metal catalytic materials at present.
Wherein, RuO2And IrO2The oxide is a semiconductor type oxide, has metal conductivity, can be used for oxygen evolution reaction, and is a better oxygen evolution catalyst. In water electrolysis, the overpotential Ru ═ Ir of the anode in the anodic Oxygen Evolution Reaction (OER) under acidic conditions<Pd<Rh<Pt<Au<Nb, which indicates that among the metal catalysts of the anode, Ru and Ir are the main catalysts for catalyzing OER. From a stability perspective, pyrolyzed RuO2The performance was stable before 400h and then dropped rapidly. In the unit oxygen evolution catalyst, RuO2And IrO2Is the best oxygen evolution catalyst. However, iridium is expensive and too costly for large-scale production; RuO2The oxygen evolution potential is lower under acidic conditions, but is unstable and not suitable for long-term electrolysis. Therefore, the unit noble metal catalyst is too expensive and has high cost; or poor stability and short life. Thus, binary noble metal oxygen evolution catalysts have naturally been brought to the researchers' disposalAttention and research.
In the study of binary noble metal catalysts, RuO was the first choice2And IrO2In an attempt to solve the RuO while maintaining the original activity2The long-term electrolytic stability is reduced quickly. XRD analysis showed RuO2And IrO2Both oxides are non-stoichiometric, with RuO2Is a hypoxia structure (RuO)2-x) And IrO2Is an oxygen-rich structure (IrO)2+x). Their mixed oxides have a synergistic effect on the mutual ratio, so that in RuO2In which IrO is added2Can improve RuO2And (4) stability. Furthermore, RuO2And IrO2May also be separately reacted with Ta2O5、TiO2、SnO2The inert components are combined to obtain a stable structure. However, the binary composite catalyst with non-noble metal has not been satisfactory in oxygen evolution activity and stability, although the cost is reduced.
Therefore, in the field of water electrolysis, further optimization of the anode catalyst is still needed, so that a water electrolysis anode with good conductivity, high oxygen evolution catalytic activity, good selectivity, good mechanical property and electrochemical stability can be obtained, and the requirement of actual production can be met.
