preparation example Construction

[0027] The present invention first provides a kind of IrO for water electrolysis 2 The preparation method of catalyst comprises the following steps:

[0028] a) dissolving sodium hydroxide in deionized water, then adding chloroiridic acid to obtain the first solution;

[0029] b) reacting the first solution in an oil bath, and stirring and cooling to room temperature after the reaction to obtain a second solution;

[0030] C) in the second solution, add acid, adjust pH, centrifuge, dry, obtain the hydroxide of iridium;

[0031] D) the hydroxide of above-mentioned iridium is calcined in air atmosphere, obtains the IrO that is used for water electrolysis 2 catalyst.

[0032] According to the present invention, sodium hydroxide is first dissolved in deionized water, and then hydrated chloroiridic acid is added to obtain a first solution. Adding chloroiridic acid back into the sodium hydroxide lye can provide more nucleation sites, so that the particles can be dispersed evenly...

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of electrochemistry, in particular to a kind of IrO used for water electrolysis 2 Catalyst and preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] Hydrogen is a clean and efficient energy carrier, which is renewable and non-polluting. Hydrogen production by water electrolysis is an important means of hydrogen production, and it is a very mature technology for producing high-purity hydrogen. At present, alkaline water electrolysis technology is often used, which has disadvantages such as easy loss of liquid electrolyte and easy corrosion of equipment. Compared with traditional alkaline water electrolysis, solid electrolyte water electrolysis has obvious advantages, such as higher safety and reliability, high current density, high energy efficiency, high specific productivity, and the purity of hydrogen produced by SPE water electrolysis cells can be as high as 99.99%, these advantages make SPE water electrolys...
