Description

Titanium nitride and nitrogen-doped composite graphene-black phosphorus-based catalyst, and preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to a catalyst based on titanium nitride and nitrogen-doped composite graphene-black phosphorus, a preparation method and application thereof, and belongs to the technical field of hydrogen energy.
Background
The combustion product of the hydrogen is water, so that the environment is not polluted, and the heat generated by combustion is high and the heat value is high; and the like, which are widely noticed by people, scientists have conducted a great deal of research on the advantages. It is mainly applied to the fields of petrochemical industry, fuel cells, solar cells and the like. At present, hydrogen used for industrial production is produced by steam reforming reaction of natural gas or methane, but the natural gas is a non-renewable resource,in addition, when natural gas is used for producing hydrogen, a large amount of CO is released2And causes pollution to the environment. Therefore, methods of hydrogen production by electrolysis, hydrogen production by thermal decomposition, hydrogen production by solar energy, hydrogen production by biomass and the like become research hotspots. However, according to the current research data, the efficiency of hydrogen production by electrolysis can reach 75-85%, and the method is the highest efficiency in the current hydrogen production method. However, during the hydrogen production by electrolysis, the cathode hydrogen evolution overpotential leads to the increase of the cell voltage for hydrogen production by water electrolysis and the increase of the electric energy consumption, which greatly limits the large-scale development and application.
In order to reduce the electrolysis energy consumption and improve the hydrogen evolution efficiency, a high-efficiency cathode hydrogen evolution catalyst material is required to be adopted. At present, in the actual application of Hydrogen Evolution Reaction (HER for short), a noble metal Pt-based catalyst is still required. The precious metal material has limited reserves and high price, and cannot meet the requirements of the energy field on HER, and the development of a high-efficiency non-precious metal HER catalyst becomes an effective way for solving the problem. Similar to other heterogeneous catalysts, the catalytic performance of HER catalysts is influenced by the density of active sites and the reactivity, factors such as low and medium conductivity, low specific surface area and instability at operating voltage are important causes of low catalytic activity. The transition metal element has the advantages of high stability, rich reserves, low cost and the like, and is expected to become a good HER catalyst. The nitride, carbide and phosphide of the transition metal have the advantages of high corrosion resistance, high stability, high melting point, high mechanical property and the like, and become ideal alternative materials for applications such as electro-catalysts, cone ion batteries, solar batteries and the like.
In the field of industrial catalysis, transition metal nitrides, especially titanium nitride (TiN), in the ORR catalyst of non-noble metal fuel cell cathodes have become a promising material due to their high conductivity, chemical stability and simple synthesis conditions, and have been widely used. Titanium nitride has shown excellent performance in many fields including dye-sensitized solar cells, lithium air cells, supercapacitors, biosensors, and the like. In addition, nitrogen-doped graphene (NG) and black phosphorus (P) have attracted much research interest due to their unique atomic structures and electron transport properties. In the two-dimensional framework of nitrogen-doped graphene and black phosphorus, nitrogen atoms can create net positive charges on adjacent carbon atoms, so that electrons are more easily attracted, and the Oxygen absorption and Oxygen Reduction Reaction (ORR) process is facilitated. Moreover, compared with noble metals, titanium nitride, nitrogen-doped graphene and black phosphorus are all wide in storage amount and low in cost, and can resist corrosion of alkaline solution for a long time. In the prior art, no relevant report about the preparation of the catalyst by combining the three is available.
In view of this, there is a need to provide a catalyst based on titanium nitride and nitrogen-doped composite graphene-black phosphorus, a preparation method and an application thereof, so as to overcome the defects of the prior art.

Experimental example 1
An ITO glass working electrode is used for Cyclic Voltammetry (CV), the surface resistivity of the ITO glass working electrode is 7-10 omega, and the area of the working electrode is 1cm multiplied by 1 cm. The method comprises the following steps of firstly ultrasonically cleaning the glass substrate with acetone for 30min, then washing the glass substrate with ethanol and deionized water under the assistance of ultrasound to obtain a mirror-surface smooth surface, and finally blow-drying the glass substrate with nitrogen airflow for later use.
Dissolving 2mg of a sample to be detected in 1mL of Nafion solution with the mass percent of 0.5%, and forming 2mg/mL of electrode solution to be detected through ultrasonic treatment. Subsequently, 6. mu.l (for CV testing, load of 0.17 mg. cm) was added dropwise-2) Or 20. mu.l (for RDE test, load-0.2 mg. cm)-2) The reducing agent dispersion is placed on the surface of the ITO glass, and the ITO glass is placed and aired for 2 hours at room temperature for testing. This reducing agent dispersion liquid was the reducing agent dispersion liquid prepared in step 2 of example 1.
Cyclic Voltammetry (CV) tests were performed on the titanium nitride and nitrogen-doped composite graphene-black phosphorus-based catalyst (denoted as TiN/NGP composite), the pure-phase nitrogen-doped composite graphene-black phosphorus (NGP), and the pure-phase titanium nitride (TiN) prepared in example 1. Phase-pure titanium nitride (TiN) nanoparticles exhibit very weak ORR catalytic activity with an onset potential and a reduction peak potential at about-0.15V and-0.53V, respectively. The cathode peak current of the pure-phase nitrogen-doped composite graphene-black phosphorus (NGP) is similar to that of pure-phase titanium nitride (TiN), but a more positive initial potential is about-0.08V, the peak potential is about-0.31V, and the performance of the pure-phase titanium nitride (TiN) is better. Compared with the former two, the catalytic performance of the catalyst (marked as TiN/NGP compound) based on the titanium nitride and the nitrogen-doped composite graphene-black phosphorus has obvious enhanced initial potential and reduction peak potential which are respectively shifted to about-0.12V and-0.37V in the positive direction, and the cathode peak current is also obviously improved, which indicates that the titanium nitride (TiN) and the nitrogen-doped composite graphene-black phosphorus (NGP) in the catalyst have synergistic ORR catalytic activity. ORR performance tests were also performed on physical mixtures of titanium nitride (TiN) and nitrogen-doped composite graphene-black phosphorus (NGP) (noted TiN + NGP), and the results showed that the initial and reduction peak potentials were at about-0.18V and-0.45V, respectively, which are significantly lower than the performance of the composite, indicating that simply mixing the two is not sufficient to effectively improve the overall catalytic performance.
From fig. 3, it can be observed that a large amount of titanium nitride (TiN) nanoparticles are uniformly distributed on the surface of the nitrogen-doped composite graphene-black phosphorus (NGP) sheet layer, and a series of clear-defined circular rings can be observed. The edges of the nitrogen-doped composite graphene-black phosphorus (NGP) sheets can also be observed, which indicates that the nitrogen-doped composite graphene-black phosphorus (NGP) sheets can promote uniform distribution of nanoparticles of titanium nitride (TiN), and also indicates that the introduction of titanium nitride (TiN) can also reduce agglomeration of the NG sheets.
Experimental example 2
The addition volume of tetrabutyl titanate in step 2 of example 1 was adjusted, and the mass of the composite graphene-black phosphorus powder was kept unchanged. The addition volumes of tetrabutyltitanate were 0.01mL, 0.02mL, 0.03mL, 0.04mL, 0.05mL, 0.5mL, lmL, 1.5mL, 2mL, 2.5mL, 3mL, 4mL and 5mL, respectively, and changes in the loading amount of titanium nitride (TiN) on the nitrogen-doped composite graphene-black phosphorus (NGP) substrate were observed by XRD and TEM. The ORR test demonstrated that the loading of titanium nitride (TiN) did have a significant effect on the electrocatalytic performance of a catalyst based on titanium nitride and nitrogen-doped composite graphene-black phosphorus (denoted as TiN/NGP composite).
In addition, the electrocatalytic performance of the titanium nitride and nitrogen doped composite graphene-black phosphorus based catalyst (denoted as TiN/NGP composite) prepared in example 1 is also affected by the calcination temperature. The calcination temperatures were set at 900 deg.C, 1000 deg.C, and 1100 deg.C, respectively. TEM images of the catalyst at different calcination temperatures are shown in fig. 3. In the composite calcined at 1000 ℃, the distribution of titanium nitride (TiN) nanoparticles on the nitrogen-doped composite graphene-black phosphorus (NGP) sheet is very uniform, and the performance thereof is also significantly better than that of the sample calcined at 1100 ℃ and 900 ℃.
Therefore, the optimum amount of tetrabutyl titanate to be added was 2.5mL, and the optimum calcination temperature was 1000 ℃.
Experimental example 3
The electron transfer number (n) is calculated based on a Koutecky-Levich formula, and through an RDE test at different rotating speeds, the ORR catalytic performance of a catalyst (marked as a TiN/NGP compound) based on titanium nitride and nitrogen-doped composite graphene-black phosphorus can be further recognized. The Koutecky-Levich diagram of the different substances at a potential of 0.3V is shown in FIG. 3.
It can be observed that the nitrogen-doped composite graphene-black phosphorus catalyst (noted as TiN/NGP composite) prepared in example 1 has higher current density at the same rotation speed. NG and black phosphorus (P) show good ORR catalytic performance, the electron transfer number n is 3.25 and 3.45 respectively, and the electron transfer number n is close to the four-electron transfer process. For titanium nitride (TiN), n is 2.55, which is between the two and four electron paths, indicating that the ORR process at the electrode may proceed in a co-existing path, with both two and four electron paths. The n value of titanium nitride (TiN) + NG + black phosphorus (P) is only 3.16, which is a little lower than that of pure-phase NG and black phosphorus (P), indicating that the chemical coupling effect between the two components is very small and the effect of improving the overall performance is limited. Compared with the above materials, the n value of the nitrogen-doped composite graphene-black phosphorus catalyst prepared in example 1 is significantly increased to 3.99, which indicates that the common ORR catalyst is performed in a highly efficient four-electron transfer path, close to the commercial Pt/C catalyst.
Experimental example 4
In order to verify the function of the nitrogen-doped composite graphene-black phosphorus (NGP) substrate in the composite, the experimental example synthesizes a composite of titanium nitride (TiN) nanoparticles and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (denoted as TiN/MWCNT) and a composite of carbon black (denoted as TiN/CB) according to the same method, and the corresponding CV test curve is shown in fig. 4.
It can be observed that although TiN/MWCNT exhibit current density comparable to TiN/NGP, they are much worse than the latter in terms of initial and peak potentials. In contrast, the peak potential of TiN/CB composites is close to that of TiN/NGP, but the current density is much smaller. Therefore, it can be concluded that the nitrogen-doped composite graphene-black phosphorus (NGP) substrate plays an important role in the performance enhancement of the titanium nitride and nitrogen-doped composite graphene-black phosphorus-based catalyst (denoted as TiN/NGP composite).
The above description is only for the purpose of illustrating the preferred embodiments of the present invention and is not to be construed as limiting the invention, and any modifications, equivalents, improvements and the like that fall within the spirit and principle of the present invention are intended to be included therein.
