A kind of carbon-coated cobalt and cobalt oxide composite nanomaterial and its preparation method and application

Abstract

The invention discloses a carbon-coated cobalt and cobalt oxide composite nanometer material, a method for preparing the same and application of the carbon-coated cobalt and cobalt oxide composite nanometer material. The carbon-coated cobalt and cobalt oxide composite nanometer material is of a composite nanometer structure of metal cobalt coated by nitrogen, oxygen and sulfur triple-doped carbonand cobalt oxide. The nitrogen, oxygen and sulfur triple-doped carbon is of a porous structure. The method includes soaking filter paper in mixed solution of cobalt chloride and thiourea, and carryingout drying treatment after the filter paper is saturated by means of adsorption so as to obtain dried saturated filter paper; carrying out annealing treatment on filter paper of precursors under theprotection of protective gas under the conditions of the heating rates of 2 DEG C / min and the annealing temperatures of 700-1000 DEG C so as to obtain the carbon-coated cobalt and cobalt oxide composite nanometer material. The carbon-coated cobalt and cobalt oxide composite nanometer material, the method and the application have the advantages that nanometer particles of the metal cobalt coated bythe carbon doped with nitrogen, oxygen and sulfur heteroatoms and the cobalt oxide can be quickly and efficiently prepared by the aid of the method, and the carbon-coated cobalt and cobalt oxide composite nanometer material which is an electrolytic water hydrogen evolution catalyst is good in stability and excellent in catalytic activity when working in alkaline environments, and can be used under rigorous conditions for a long time.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of electrolytic water hydrogen evolution, in particular to a carbon-coated cobalt and cobalt oxide composite nanomaterial, a preparation method and application thereof. Background technique [0002] With the increasingly serious energy crisis and environmental problems, people's demand for the development of clean and sustainable energy is increasing. Hydrogen energy has the characteristics of high energy density, environmental friendliness, and regeneration, so hydrogen energy is an ideal substitute for fossil fuels. Among various hydrogen production technologies, electrolysis of water is considered to be the most potential hydrogen production technology, because electrolysis of water for hydrogen evolution can store other green energy (such as solar energy, wind energy) in hydrogen. The electrolytic water hydrogen evolution catalyst is one of the most critical links in the electrolytic water hydrogen evol...
