Problems solved by technology

Literature search found that the existing conversion schemes mainly use active metals Na, Mg or their hydrides NaH, MgH 2 Direct reduction of NaBO with isostrong reducing agent 2 NaBH 4 , these reactions require high temperature and high pressure conditions, and the products are not easy to separate and purify, so industrial production has not yet been realized
Cooper et al. reported the electrolysis of NaBO 2 Solution preparation NaBH 4 method (US3734842-A), that is, the cathodic reduction reaction is realized by electrolysis: BO 2 - + 6H 2 O + 8e = BH 4 - + 8OH - , but its current efficiency is very low, the electrolysis speed is slow, and noble metals are needed as electrode catalysts, the cost is high, so it still lacks due practical value

Abstract

The invention provides a preparation method of a catalytic electrode for electrolytic synthesis of hydroboron. The preparation method comprises the following steps of: carrying out titanium oxide micro-nanometer wire hydrothermal growth on a titanium substrate; carrying out ammonia nitrogen reduction of a titanium oxide micro-nanometer wire on the titanium substrate; chemically depositing a composite metal Ni-Pb sub-layer; and chemically replacing and depositing an Au surface layer. The prepared catalytic electrode is high in rigidness, resistant to corrosion, stable in performances, porous insurface and quite high in conductivity; by mutual collaborative action of a plurality of metals, the catalytic electrode has good catalytic activity. According to measurement, after a finished electrode product is used as a cathode catalytic electrode, the average current efficiency is as high as 35%, and a NaBH4 product can be obtained by reduction. The preparation method provided by the invention is simple in steps and convenient to operate, realizes the aim that a byproduct metaborate generated after the hydroboron is hydrolyzed to generate hydrogen is transformed into hydroboron again, thus the production cost and the application cost of the hydroboron are lowered, boron resources are saved, and the environmental pollution is reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a catalyst for preparing borohydride by electrolytically reducing metaborate based on electrochemical principles and a method for preparing a catalytic electrode, which belong to the field of new energy materials and related fields. Background technique [0002] The increasing energy crisis and environmental pollution are the main challenges facing human society, and actively seeking high-efficiency, high-energy, environment-friendly green alternative energy is the key way to solve these problems. Hydrogen energy has high energy density, fast conversion speed, high conversion efficiency, and can be discharged cleanly (the product is water). It is regarded as an ideal alternative energy source for traditional fossil fuels. Therefore, the development and utilization of hydrogen energy has attracted widespread attention in recent years. . With the improvement of proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) technology, the status of...
