Description

Preparation method of transition metal carbide/single-walled carbon nanotube composite film with integrated structure and function
Technical Field
The invention relates to the controllable preparation field of carbon nano tube composite macroscopic bodies, in particular to a preparation method of a transition metal carbide/single-wall carbon nano tube composite film with integrated structure and function.
Background
Energy and environmental pollution are two major problems restricting the development of the current society, and the greenhouse gases emitted by fossil fuels cause irreversible serious damage to the earth environment. Fossil fuels are becoming scarce because they are not renewable and will also severely impact economic and social sustainable development. Hydrogen is considered one of the clean green energy carriers that can replace fossil fuels. But low cost, large scale, green hydrogen production has not been realized yet. The hydrogen production by electrolysis of water by 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 noble metals such as Pt, ir, ru and the like, and the limited reserves lead to high price, so that the large-scale application of hydrogen production by water electrolysis is limited.
The transition metal carbide is an electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution catalyst with abundant reserves, low price and platinum-like catalytic activity. As early as 1973, levy et al reported tungsten carbide (W x C) Has the activity of electrocatalytically decomposing water, and has attracted extensive attention from researchers (document 1, levy r.b., boudart m.science,1973,181,547-549). Gong et al impregnated supporting WO on multiwall carbon nanotubes 3 And carbonizing under low pressure and high temperature to obtain W 2 A C/multi-walled carbon nanotube powder electrocatalyst having high activity (low initiation potential 50 mV) and excellent dispersibility. However, the catalyst prepared by this method is in a powder form, and needs to be bonded to an electrode by coating, resulting in reduction of active sites and clogging of mass transfer channels (document 2, gong Q., wang y., hu Q., et al nature Communications,2016, 7:13216). Moreover, the transition metal carbide nanoparticles prepared by the method have large size, the interaction between the carbide and the carbon nanotube is weak, and the catalytic activity and stability are still to be improved (document 3, fan XJ., zhou hq., ACS Nano,2015,9 (5), 5125-5134).
In summary, the transition metal carbide/carbon nanotube composite material has good application prospect in the field of electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution, but still has some problems: (1) The transition metal carbide/carbon nano tube composite structure is mostly in powder form, and needs to be adhered to a conductive carrier for use, so that the activity of the catalyst is reduced. (2) The transition metal carbide is generally generated after long-time heat treatment (more than or equal to 700 ℃) at high temperature by a carbon source provided by gaseous alkane decomposition, so that carbon deposition of the catalyst covers active sites and carbide agglomeration grows. (3) The transition metal carbide is accumulated on the carbon nano tube and is easy to fall off in an acidic environment, so that the stability of the catalytic performance is poor.
