Abstract

The invention provides a La monoatom-doped LiCoO2 nano-catalyst as well as a preparation method and application thereof. The chemical formula of the nano-catalyst is (0.9-1.95)% La-LiCoO2. According to the invention, La monoatoms are independently dispersed and doped in Co atom sites of LiCoO2 to construct the La monoatom-doped LiCoO2 nano catalyst. A heterogeneous structure is realized, so that the catalyst is easy to separate and collect from a reaction system and recycle; a La single atom with a larger size is doped at a Co atom site for replacing Co, thus the CoO6 octahedral structure of the LiCoO2 is distorted, the conductivity of the LiCoO2 is improved, the orbital hybridization effect of the Co-O atoms is enhanced, the adsorption energy of the Co atoms in the surface to oxygen is optimized, the Co atoms in the surface are effectively activated, and the LiCoO2 has high catalytic activity in an electrochemical oxygen production reaction. The catalyst is good in stability and can be recycled.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of energy catalysis, and in particular relates to a La monoatom doped LiCoO 2 Nano catalyst, its preparation method and its application. Background technique [0002] In recent years, as the energy crisis and environmental pollution have intensified, the technology of using electrolyzed water to produce hydrogen energy has received extensive attention. Water splitting consists of two half reactions, hydrogen production and oxygen production. The oxygen production reaction is slow in kinetics due to complex reaction paths and large number of transferred electrons, which restricts the energy conversion efficiency of electrolyzed water. How to reduce the overpotential required for the oxygen production reaction and carry out an efficient reaction is the focus of research in this field. [0003] Traditional noble metal catalysts have good catalytic activity, but have low reserves and are expensive. LiCoO 2 The repres...
