Problems solved by technology

In previous studies, the use of alkali to treat carbon materials can effectively improve the performance of the cathode. On the contrary, low-temperature acid treatment of activated carbon and carbon black can inhibit the performance of the cathode. Although high-temperature heating and acid treatment of graphite particles can effectively improve the performance of the electrode, but because of the temperature High requirements and no significant effect on the production of hydrogen peroxide in this process, increasing the cost

Embodiment 1

[0021] A preparation of an acid-treated graphite particle electrode, the steps are as follows:

[0022] Step 1, preprocessing: such as figure 1 As shown, graphite powder with a particle size of 30 μm and a model number of CAS#7782-42-5 was ultrasonically cleaned with deionized water for 30 minutes at 30 ° C, and dried in the air. Take 20g of dried graphite powder and immerse in 250mL of nitric acid solution with a mass fraction of 10%, and reflux at 80°C for 6h; when the solution is cooled to room temperature, wash the graphite powder with deionized water for 3 times, and remove the remaining residue with a suction filter. nitric acid solution; vacuum-dried at 80°C for 12 hours, and set aside;

[0023] Step 2, mixing: if figure 2 As shown, immerse the above-mentioned pretreated graphite powder into a container filled with absolute ethanol, and stir for 60 minutes in a water bath at 70°C to fully disperse and dissolve the graphite powder; add dropwise under the condition of ...

Embodiment 2

[0026] A preparation of an acid-treated graphite particle electrode, the steps are basically the same as in Example 1, the difference is only:

[0027] The mass fraction of the nitric acid solution used in the pretreatment of step 1 was changed from 10% to 20%, and finally a graphite particle electrode with a diameter of about 2.5 mm was prepared. The scanning electron microscope microscopic picture of the acid-treated graphite powder obtained in Example 2 is as follows Figure 6 shown.

Embodiment 3

[0029] A preparation of an acid-treated graphite particle electrode, the steps are basically the same as in Example 1, the difference is only:

[0030] The mass fraction of the nitric acid solution used in the pretreatment of step 1 was changed from 10% to 30%, and finally a graphite particle electrode with a diameter of about 2.5mm was prepared. The scanning electron microscope micrograph of the acid-treated graphite powder prepared in Example 3 is as follows Figure 7 shown.

[0031] pass Figure 4 to Figure 7 It can be seen that the graphite materials in each embodiment exhibit a flake structure. Compared with the comparative example, the graphite samples obtained in Examples 1 and 2 contain more graphite fragments, and the specific surface area and porosity are increased, which increases the reactivity and is beneficial to electron transfer and the synthesis of hydrogen peroxide. However, compared with the comparative example, the surface of Example 3 is smooth and flat,...

Abstract

The invention discloses a preparation method of an acid treatment graphite particle electrode. The preparation method comprises the steps that graphite powder with the particle size being 30 [mu]m is cleaned and air-dried at first, then the graphite powder is immersed into a nitric acid solution with the mass fraction being 10%-30% at the mass-volume concentration of 80 mg / ml, backflow is conducted for 6 h at the temperature of 80 DEG C, washing is conducted for 3 times when the temperature is the room temperature, and a residual nitric acid solution is removed through a suction filter; vacuum drying is conducted for 12 h at the temperature of 80 DEG C; then the graphite powder is immersed into a container containing absolute ethyl alcohol, stirring is conducted for 60 min under the 70 DEG C water bath condition, polytetrafluoroethylene emulsion is dropwise added, ultrasonic stirring is continued for 30 min, and a micelle-shaped mixture is obtained; and after the mixture is lightly kneaded, the absolute ethyl alcohol in the mixture overflows, and the mixture is put into a roller press to be rolled and pressed till the graphite particle electrode with the diameter being 2-3 mm is obtained through pressing. According to the preparation method of the acid treatment graphite particle electrode, the characteristics that a graphite material is cheap, large in specific surface area and high in stability are exerted, and the particle electrode which is environmentally friendly, can be subjected to large-scale production and effectively improves the H2O2 yield and the cathode performance is prepared.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of electrochemical material optimization, in particular to a nitric acid-treated graphite active component to effectively increase hydrogen peroxide production, a method for preparing an acid-treated graphite particle electrode, and an application in a bioelectrochemical system. Background technique [0002] During the electrochemical reaction, the surface activation of the electrode material will improve its surface adsorption performance and electrochemical performance. The increase of the surface area can provide more reaction sites for the oxygen reduction reaction. In the process of the four-electron oxygen reduction reaction, micro The pore structure is the most likely site to play a role, and the formation and increase of the microporous structure comes from activation treatment. The commonly used activation methods are mainly divided into physical activation and chemical activation. Physical activati...
