Description

Preparation of 3D printing monolithic electrocatalyst and application thereof in electrocatalytic reaction
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of electrochemical conversion and energy storage, in particular to preparation of a 3D printing monolithic electrocatalyst and application thereof in electrocatalysis reaction.
Background
Threat of exhaustion of traditional fossil energy and CO generated by the same in the face of petroleum crisis 2 The problems of global warming, environmental deterioration and the like caused by excessive emission are solved, and clean and efficient alternative energy sources and various catalytic conversion methods are actively sought by extensive research workers. Wherein the cathode electrocatalytic reduction reaction such as Hydrogen Evolution Reaction (HER), CO 2 Electroreduction reaction (CO) 2 RR), there have been many research results in recent years in terms of energy conversion and utilization.
The prepared electrocatalyst is often in the form of powder, and before use, the electrocatalyst is often mixed with a conductive agent (such as carbon black), a binder (such as Nafion) and a solvent such as ethanol or isopropanol to prepare an ink to be coated on a glassy carbon electrode or a self-supporting material such as carbon paper, carbon cloth and foamed nickel, which affects the exposure of active components and even results in low response current. In this regard, there are many reports in the literature on the use of self-supporting materials such as nickel foam, carbon paper and carbon cloth to grow catalysts in situ and achieve better activity. Such as Li et al (w.li, y.jiang, y.li, q.gao, w.shen, y.jiang,r.he, m.li, chem.eng.j.2021, 130651) constructed 3D free-standing Cr-doped CoP nanoarrays (Cr-CoP/CP) to facilitate water electrolysis. The results show that Cr-CoP/CP exhibits excellent activity for full pH universal hydrogen evolution reactions. Chinese patent CN 108677179A discloses modification of copper foil electrode and electrocatalytic reduction of CO 2 Investigation of the reaction, the invention uses KHCO 3 The copper foil is subjected to hydrothermal modification for 4 hours at 140 ℃ by using the aqueous solution. The modified copper foil is more beneficial to the high-yield high-added-value ethylene in the process of catalyzing carbon dioxide electroreduction.
However, the traditional self-supporting carrier has an irregular and disordered appearance and has no effectively communicated pore channel structure, so that great resistance exists for the timely transmission and release of gas products, and effective diffusion of gas reactants is not facilitated, so that the self-supporting carrier is only a loaded medium, the function of the carrier is not correspondingly exerted, and therefore, the 3D porous electrode with the ordered pore channel structure which is favorable for conducting and separating bubbles is indispensable.
The 3D printing technology is also called additive manufacturing technology, and a 3D porous electrode with an ordered pore channel structure can be designed and constructed according to actual reaction needs. Chinese patent CN107759986A discloses a carbon fiber composite material suitable for 3D printing, which is composed of polylactic acid (PLA), carbon fibers, a toughening agent, a compatilizer and an auxiliary agent. One-dimensional carbon nanotubes and two-dimensional graphene are widely used in the field of electrocatalysis due to their high surface area and excellent electrical conductivity. Many researches have been reported on 3D printing monolithic materials constructed by using graphene and carbon nanotubes as substrates. Peng et al (m.peng, d.shi, y.sun, j.cheng, b.zhao, y.xie, j.zhang, w.guo, z.jia, z.liang, l.jiang, adv.mater.2020,1908201) reported 3D printed bioelectrodes of one-dimensional carbon nanotube-reinforced graphene with high bending strength and hierarchical porous structure by 3D printing strategies. In 3D printing of graphene-based materials, no additional additives are usually added, but the viscoelasticity of such materials is less than ideal depending on the limited forces between the molecules. Mechanical modeling revealed a key role for one-dimensional CNTs in enhanced flexural strength by increasing the friction and adhesion between 2D graphene nanoplatelets. Xue et al (y.xue, l.hui, h.yu, y.liu, y.fang, b.huang, y.zhao, z.li, y.li, nat.commun.2019,2282) have demonstrated by theoretical calculations a reasonable surface conditioning strategy in terms of structural and electronic properties, enabling a significant improvement in the hydrogen evolution reactivity of electrocatalysts. The amidation modified catalyst surface will significantly promote more electron transfer to C ═ O, and this metal-free electrode has excellent hydrogen evolution reactivity and long-term stability in both acidic and basic media, even exceeding the commercial 20 wt% Pt/C catalyst. In addition, the doping of the nitrogen element can effectively regulate and control the electronic property of the carrier and improve the electrocatalytic activity of the carrier. Therefore, it is a very important research to explore a research of improving the performance of the 3D printing electrocatalysis carrier by reacting and crosslinking the amino-containing high molecular polymer and the graphene-based carbon material into 3D printing ink with proper viscoelasticity and doping nitrogen elements on the carrier.
