Description

Chromium-doped nickel-iron sulfide array electrocatalyst prepared by foam nickel in-situ growth, and preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of electrocatalysts, in particular to a chromium-doped nickel-iron sulfide array electrocatalyst grown in situ by foam nickel, and a preparation method and application thereof.
Background
Hydrogen (H) 2 ) Is regarded as an effective energy carrier, but H 2 The preparation, storage and transportation of the same are serious impediments to their large-scale use. Efficient and economical production of high purity H by electrolysis of water 2 Replacing existing traditional fossil fuels is considered to be one of the most promising technologies for alleviating global energy crisis and environmental pollution. Catalyst RuO 2 And IrO 2 The catalyst has high catalytic activity on Oxygen Evolution Reaction (OER) of electrolytic water, is widely regarded as a reference catalyst of OER reaction, but is still limited by the factors such as high price, low earth reserve, poor stability and the like in large-scale hydrogen production by electrolytic water.
On the other hand, the main progress at present has focused on the use of purified fresh water as a raw material, while less research has been conducted on catalytic electrodes for the electrolysis of seawater suitable for mass production. Therefore, the catalytic electrode with low preparation cost, excellent performance, seawater corrosion resistance and strong stability is a weight of pushing the technology of producing hydrogen by water electrolysis.
The foam nickel has larger specific surface area and good conductivity, and the nickel-iron catalyst is grown on the nickel foam in situ, so that the mechanical strength of the electrode material is improved, and the electron transmission is promoted. Meanwhile, the transition metal catalyst grown on the foam nickel in situ has low cost, unique physicochemical property, excellent electrocatalytic performance and stability, and is beneficial to the controllable synthesis of a large-area catalyst and the application of hydrogen production by water electrolysis under high current density.
The method comprises the steps of firstly, carrying out electrodeposition in a nickel metal salt electroplating solution by a dynamic hydrogen bubble template method to obtain a foam nickel composite material loaded with a layered porous nickel deposition layer; and then electrodepositing in nickel-iron metal salt electroplating solution to obtain a nickel-iron hydroxide deposition layer on the composite material, thereby obtaining the nickel-based OER electrode, and the product has lower overpotential when being used for OER reaction.
The method comprises the steps of firstly carrying out hydrothermal reaction on nickel nitrate, ferric nitrate, urea and ammonium fluoride in deionized water and foam nickel to obtain a nickel-iron hydrotalcite-like precursor material taking the foam nickel as a substrate; and then carrying out hydrothermal reaction with sodium sulfide nonahydrate solution to obtain the nickel-iron hydrotalcite-like compound/nickel-iron sulfide heterostructure OER electro-catalyst taking foam nickel as a substrate, wherein the catalyst is used as a working electrode to show high current density in the OER reaction. The catalyst has a sulfate layer formed on the surface after 2000 times of cyclic voltammetry scanning, so that the catalyst has excellent catalytic performance in alkaline brine and alkaline seawater; however, the long-time cyclic voltammetry scanning process is tedious and time-consuming. It can be seen that the catalyst without cyclic voltammetry scanning treatment had very poor stability and was essentially completely spent for about 10 hours under the conditions of 1.0M potassium hydroxide and 0.5M sodium chloride in the electrolyte.
Therefore, unlike hydrogen production by electrolysis of water in pure water, there is an important problem in seawater electrolysis, namely chloride ion corrosion, and the corrosion of metal catalysts while the side reaction of 0.5M chloride ions contained in seawater occurs at the anode, thus lowering the catalyst stability, and there is a need for improvement in the catalyst stability for use in seawater or concentrated seawater environments.
Disclosure of Invention
Aiming at the defects of poor seawater corrosion resistance, low stability and the like of a transition metal-based electrocatalyst in the prior art, the invention provides the chromium-doped nickel iron sulfide array electrocatalyst grown on foam nickel in situ, which is prepared by mixing a transition metal chromium species with Lewis acidity after synthesizing a bimetallic sulfide with a 2D nano array structure, reduces the overpotential of the electrocatalytic OER, improves the electrocatalytic performance, simultaneously increases the capability of resisting chloride ion corrosion, and improves the long-term stability of the electrocatalyst in electrolytic seawater.
In order to achieve the above purpose, the invention adopts the following technical scheme:
the preparation method of the chromium-doped nickel iron sulfide array electrocatalyst with foam nickel grown in situ comprises the following steps:
step 1, mixing inorganic ferric salt, inorganic nickel salt, inorganic chromium salt, urea and ammonium fluoride in deionized water, adding pretreated foam nickel into the solution, and obtaining a chromium-doped ferronickel array electrocatalyst for in-situ growth of the foam nickel through hydrothermal reaction; wherein the mol ratio of the inorganic chromium salt to the inorganic nickel salt is 0.25-4:4;
and 2, immersing the chromium-doped ferronickel array electrocatalyst in sodium sulfide nonahydrate solution, taking out a product after the immersion reaction, and washing and drying to obtain the chromium-doped ferronickel sulfide array electrocatalyst.
According to the invention, foam nickel is used as a catalyst carrier, a bimetal nano-array growing on the foam nickel in situ is obtained through the hydrothermal reaction of nickel salt and ferric salt, a certain amount of chromium salt is added in the process, and as the transition metal chromium has stronger electrophilic capability, the electron transmission capability of the nickel-iron nano-array electrocatalyst is improved, the resistance to chloride ion corrosion is enhanced, and the chromium doped nickel-iron array electrocatalyst growing on the foam nickel in situ is obtained. Then, the nickel-iron array electrocatalyst is subjected to chemical impregnation treatment by sodium sulfide solution, so that the connection capability between different metals of the nickel-iron array electrocatalyst is more stable, the overall strength and heat resistance are improved, and the chemical corrosion resistance is also stronger.
The metal chromium has stronger electrophilic capability, so that on one hand, the chlorine ion corrosion resistance of the electrocatalyst can be improved, on the other hand, the catalyst catalytic performance can be further improved due to the good electron transmission capability, the process of the electrolytic water OER reaction can be accelerated, the chlorine ion corrosion resistance in simulated seawater is optimized, and the catalytic activity and stability of the catalyst are greatly improved. After the metal chromium is doped, the electron distribution condition around the active site nickel and iron can be influenced by the outer layer orbital electrons of the chromium, and the nano-array formed by the three metals can play a synergistic effect, so that the catalyst overall shows better performance and stability in OER reaction.
The inorganic ferric salt comprises one or more of ferric nitrate, ferric chloride, ferric sulfate and hydrate thereof;
the inorganic nickel salt comprises one or more of nickel nitrate, nickel chloride, nickel sulfate and hydrates thereof;
the inorganic chromium salt comprises one or more of chromium nitrate, chromium chloride, chromium sulfate and hydrates thereof.
The preparation process of the pretreated foam nickel comprises the following steps: and ultrasonically washing the foam nickel by hydrochloric acid, ethanol and deionized water, and drying to obtain the pretreated foam nickel.
The transition metal sulfide exhibits good water-electrolysis OER reactivity due to its outstanding electronic structure and good conductivity. Due to the synergistic effect between the two metal cations, binary transition metal catalysts have better electrochemical activity than single metal catalysts. The ferronickel bimetallic is adopted in the invention, based on the fact that the ferronickel bimetallic has better water dissociation performance compared with other transition metals.
Preferably, the inorganic nickel salt and inorganic iron salt are in a molar ratio of 4:1 to 4; the proportion of the ferronickel metal influences the dispersion condition of the nano-array formed in the catalyst, the nano-array in the catalyst obtained by the proportion has proper dispersion tightness, a large number of active sites and large specific surface area, and the electrolytic water OER activity of the catalyst is excellent.
4 of the inorganic nickel salts, urea and ammonium fluoride: 40-60: 15-25;
the dosage of chromium is very critical in the invention, and the excessive chromium can cover the original active site of the catalyst, thereby affecting the OER activity of the catalyst in electrolytic water, but the dosage is too small to realize the effect of resisting chloride ion corrosion, and affecting the long-term stability of the catalyst in seawater.
The hydrothermal reaction temperature in the step 1 is 100-180 ℃ and the reaction time is 4-8 h. Preferably, the temperature of the hydrothermal reaction is 110-130 ℃ and the reaction time is 5-7 h. The adoption of a moderate temperature prevents the agglomeration of chromium metal at a high temperature, thereby affecting the growth distribution of the nano array.
Still more preferably, the hydrothermal reaction temperature is 120℃and the reaction time is 6 hours.
In the step 2, the molar concentration of the sodium sulfide nonahydrate solution is 0.03-0.09M, the temperature of the dipping reaction is 20-80 ℃ and the time is 1-3 h. Preferably, the concentration of the sodium sulfide nonahydrate solution in the impregnation reaction is 0.05M-0.07M, the impregnation temperature is 50-70 ℃, and the reaction time is 1.5-2.5 h.
The method adopts moderate impregnation concentration, temperature and time to regulate the vulcanization degree of the metal oxide, and the electronic structure between metals can be regulated in the vulcanization process, so that the overall conductivity is improved, and the catalyst is beneficial to the water electrolysis OER under the condition of high current density; however, too high a degree of sulfidation may result in increased metal crystallinity, thereby affecting the oxygen evolution performance of the nanoarray catalyst.
Still more preferably, the impregnation reaction has a sodium sulfide nonahydrate concentration of 0.06M, an impregnation temperature of 60℃and a reaction time of 2 hours.
Preferably, the molar ratio of the inorganic chromium salt to the inorganic nickel salt is 0.75-2: 4, the chromium doping amount of the catalyst synthesized in the range is moderate, and the OER performance and the stability thereof in simulated seawater are all optimal; when the doping amount is too low, the electrophilic capability of the chromium with stronger is not fully embodied, and the electron transmission capability and the chloride ion corrosion resistance of the whole catalyst are not obviously improved; too high doping levels can cover the original active sites on the catalyst surface, resulting in reduced catalytic activity.
The invention also provides a chromium-doped nickel-iron sulfide array electrocatalyst prepared by the preparation method and grown in situ, wherein the chromium-doped nickel-iron sulfide array electrocatalyst has a 2D nano-sheet array structure, and the chromium doping amount is 1-10wt%, preferably 4-6wt%.
The invention also provides application of the foam nickel in-situ grown chromium doped nickel iron sulfide array electrocatalyst in catalytic oxygen evolution in natural seawater or alkaline seawater.
The concentration of chloride ion in the natural seawater or alkaline seawater is above 0.5M, such as 0.5M, 1M, 2M, 6M, etc.
Preferably, in the water-in-anode OER reaction, a three-electrode system is adopted, in particular to an Hg/HgO electrode is used as a reference electrode, a carbon rod is used as a counter electrode, the chromium-doped nickel-iron sulfide array electrocatalyst grown on foam nickel in situ provided by the invention is used as a working electrode, and the electrolyte contains 0.5M chloride ions.
Under the condition that the current is 0.1A and the electrolyte is a mixed solution of 1.0M KOH and 0.5M NaCl, the potential of the catalyst is reduced to be within 15mV after 200h stability test;
furthermore, the chromium doped nickel iron sulfide array electrocatalyst is used as a working electrode, and under the condition that the electrolyte is a mixed solution of 1.0M KOH and 2M NaCl at the current of 0.1A, the potential of the catalyst is reduced to be within 20mV after 100h stability test, so that the stability is very excellent. The chromium doped nickel-iron sulfide array electrocatalyst grown on the foam nickel in situ provided by the invention has the advantages that the transition metal chromium is doped on the surface of the nickel-iron nanosheet array, so that the electrode material shows good conductivity and stability, and meanwhile, the chromium doped nickel-iron nanosheet array has tighter arrangement and higher specific surface area, is beneficial to the dispersion of catalytic active sites, and further increases the electrocatalytic activity.
The catalyst is prepared by taking foam nickel as a carrier, and the chromium-doped nickel-iron sulfide nano-arrays are uniformly distributed on the surface of the foam nickel. The nanometer has larger specific surface area and more active sites, is convenient for electrolyte permeation and ion diffusion, and is favorable for oxygen generation and precipitation; the doped metal chromium has good synergistic effect on the double sites of nickel and iron, accelerates the reaction process, reduces the overpotential of the doped metal chromium in OER reaction, and improves the overall reaction of the catalyst.
Because chromium ions are Lewis acid, the chromium ions have stronger electrophilic capability and are favorable for electron transmission; meanwhile, the adsorbed electrons can form an electron layer on the surface of the catalyst, and the electronegativity of the adsorbed electrons can repel attack of chloride ions, so that the effect of improving the selectivity and enhancing the stability of the electrolytic water OER in simulated seawater is achieved, and the effect of multi-angle enhancement is realized.
Compared with the prior art, the invention has the following beneficial effects:
(1) By one-step hydrothermal and impregnationThe chromium doped nickel iron sulfide array electrocatalyst grown on the foam nickel in situ is nano, the chromium ion doping is utilized to improve the corrosion resistance of the catalyst to chloride ions, the electron transmission capacity of the catalyst is improved, and the nickel iron sulfide nano array efficient water dissociation, larger specific surface area and more exposed active sites are combined, so that the electron transfer and the intermediate adsorption and desorption in the reaction process are facilitated, the array structure is favorable for faster precipitation of product gas, and the reaction of electrolyte and the catalyst surface active sites is accelerated, so that the catalyst shows more commercial RuO 2 The OER performance of the catalyst for the electrolytic water has great significance for realizing the hydrogen production of the electrolytic seawater.
(2) The chromium doped nickel iron sulfide array electrocatalyst grown on the foam nickel in situ provided by the invention has high-efficiency electrocatalytic activity and ultra-long-time catalytic stability in simulating seawater, high-concentration seawater and the like, and provides great application possibility for development and utilization of hydrogen energy prepared by electrolyzing seawater.

XRD of the chromium doped nickel iron sulfide array catalyst grown in situ on foamed nickel prepared in this example is shown in FIG. 2, and it can be seen that the catalyst mainly contains diffraction peaks of crystalline NiFe (JCPDS No. 49-0188) in addition to the three characteristic diffraction peaks of the foamed nickel substrate. No significant diffraction peak was observed due to the low Cr content in the catalyst.

Application example
(1) Using a three-electrode system, using the catalysts prepared in examples 1-3 or comparative examples 1-4 as working electrodes, using a carbon rod as a counter electrode, using Hg/HgO as a reference electrode, and using 1.0M KOH+0.5M NaCl as electrolyte;
(2) CV activation: nitrogen was introduced into the electrolyte for 30min before testing using the Shanghai Chenhua CHI 760E electrochemical workstation. The CV program is adopted, the test interval is 1.1-2.0V vs. RHE, and the sweeping speed is 50 mV.s -1 The electrode reaches a stable state after 40 circles of circulation.
(3) LSV test: the catalysts prepared in examples 1 to 3 and comparative examples 1 to 4 were subjected to a Linear Sweep Voltammetry (LSV) test. After the sample is subjected to CV activation, the workstation switching program is changed into an LSV program, the test interval is 1.1-2.0V vs. RHE, and the sample is scannedThe speed is 5 mV.s -1 The overpotential was 1.23V and 100mA cm relative to the reversible hydrogen electrode -2 The difference in potential is measured.
The results of examples 1 to 3 are shown in fig. 3, wherein the material in example 1 is labeled as Cr1-NiFeS/NF in the figure, and it is seen from the figure that the catalyst has the best electrocatalytic performance when the adding amount of the chromium salt is 1mmol, because the synthesized nickel-iron nano-array is not compact enough, sparse, and has fewer active sites, and the original nickel-iron nano-array surface is covered when the adding amount of the chromium salt is too high, which is unfavorable for the exposure of the active sites. Therefore, when the addition amount of the chromium salt is 1mmol, the synthesized nano-array is uniformly arranged, and the catalyst active component has good dispersibility and excellent electrocatalytic performance.

Indicating that the catalyst has excellent catalytic activity under different environments.
The polarization graphs of the Cr-NiFeS/NF catalyst and the reactions of NiFeS/NF, co-NiFeS/NF, mn-NiFeS/NF and Sn-NiFeS/NF (example 1 and comparative examples 1-4) in the mixed solution of 1.0M KOH and 0.5M NaCl are shown in FIG. 5, and it can be seen from FIG. 5 that in the simulated seawater electrolyte, the catalytic effect of the Cr-NiFeS/NF catalyst is significantly better than that of nickel-iron sulfide arrays or nickel-iron sulfide array catalysts doped with other transition metals (cobalt, manganese and tin), even better than that of commercial RuO 2 The performance of the catalyst (overpotential 410mV, see fig. 6).

As shown in fig. 7, the potential of the chromium doped nickel iron sulfide array electrocatalyst grown in situ on foamed nickel was reduced by about 15mV after the stability test for more than 200 hours, demonstrating its excellent catalytic stability and resistance to chloride corrosion for an extra time.
After CV activation, the switching procedure was an ISTEP procedure, the current was set to 0.1A, the time was set to 400000s, and the electrolyte was a 1.0M KOH and 2M NaCl mixed solution. The test results are shown in fig. 8, and the chromium doped nickel iron sulfide array electrocatalyst grown on the foam nickel in situ has the stability tested for more than 100 hours in simulated seawater containing high concentration of chloride ions, and the potential is reduced by about 20mV, so that the electrocatalyst still has good catalytic stability and chloride ion corrosion resistance under the environment with higher chloride content.
