Description

Preparation method of structure-function integrated transition metal carbide/single-walled carbon nanotube composite film
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of controllable preparation of carbon nanotube composite macroscopic bodies, in particular to a preparation method of a structure-function integrated transition metal carbide/single-walled carbon nanotube composite film.
Background
Energy and environmental pollution are two major problems restricting the development of the current society, and the greenhouse gas emitted by fossil fuel causes irreversible serious damage to the global environment. The lack of fossil fuels due to non-regeneration will also seriously affect the sustainable development of economy and society. Hydrogen is considered one of the clean green energy carriers that can replace fossil fuels. But low cost, large-scale and green hydrogen production is not realized yet. The hydrogen production by electrolyzing water by using electric energy provided by renewable energy sources (wind energy, solar energy, tidal energy and the like) is a clean and environment-friendly hydrogen production scheme. However, the existing catalyst for hydrogen production by water electrolysis is mainly limited to precious metals such as Pt, Ir, Ru and the like, and the limited reserves lead to high price, thereby limiting the large-scale application of hydrogen production by water electrolysis.
The transition metal carbide is an electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution catalyst which has rich reserves, low price and platinum-like catalytic activity. Tungsten carbide (W) was reported by Levy et al as early as 1973 x C) Has the activity of electrocatalytic decomposition of water, which attracts the attention of researchers (literature 1, Levy R.B., Boudart M.science,1973,181, 547-549). Gong et al impregnated and supported WO on multi-walled carbon nanotubes 3 And carbonizing at low pressure and high temperature to prepare W 2 A C/multi-walled carbon nanotube powder electrocatalyst with high activity (low onset potential 50mV) and excellent dispersion. However, the catalyst prepared by the method is in powder form and needs to be bonded by coatingUse onto electrodes leads to reduced active sites, blockage of mass transfer channels (document 2, Gong q., Wang y., Hu q., et al. nature Communications,2016,7: 13216). Moreover, the size of the transition metal carbide nanoparticles prepared by the method is large, the interaction between the carbide and the carbon nanotubes is weak, and the catalytic activity and stability still need to be improved (document 3, Fan XJ., Zhou hq., ACS Nano,2015,9(5), 5125-51).
In conclusion, the transition metal carbide/carbon nanotube composite material has good application prospect in the field of hydrogen evolution by electrocatalysis, but still has some problems: (1) most of the transition metal carbide/carbon nanotube composite structure is in powder form, and needs to be bonded on a conductive carrier for use, which causes the reduction of the activity of the catalyst. (2) The transition metal carbide is generally generated by a carbon source provided by gaseous alkane decomposition after high-temperature long-time heat treatment (more than or equal to 700 ℃), so that the carbon deposition of the catalyst covers active sites and the carbide is agglomerated and grown. (3) The transition metal carbide is stacked on the carbon nano tube and is easy to fall off in an acid environment, so that the stability of the catalytic performance is poor.
