Abstract

The invention discloses a method for preparing MnO2 through anode electrolysis in a strong acid medium to assist in efficient hydrogen production, and belongs to the field of water electrolysis hydrogen production. The method comprises the specific steps: a carbon matrix serves as an electrode material, an acidic aqueous solution containing Mn < 2 + > serves as a composite electrolyte, and constant current is applied under an electrode system for electrolysis; and the traditional oxygen evolution reaction is replaced by the MnO2 generated by the oxidation reaction on the anode side, and the hydrogen evolution reaction is generated on the cathode side to generate hydrogen. Although the theoretical potential of the Mn < 2 + > / MnO2 reaction is close to the oxygen evolution potential, the oxygen evolution reaction in the acid solution has very high overpotential, so that MnO2 can be preferentially generated at the anode end. According to the invention, by regulating and controlling the electrode potential, MnO2 instead of O2 is directionally generated on the anode side, so that the energy consumption of hydrogen production by electrolyzing water is reduced; the generated MnO2 is used as an acid-resistant material to cover the surface of the electrode, so that the corrosion problem of the electrode is solved; and meanwhile, the generated MnO2 is used as a product with a high added value, and economic benefits can be brought to enterprises.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of hydrogen production by electrolysis of water, and in particular relates to the preparation of MnO by anode electrolysis in a strong acid medium 2 Auxiliary method for efficient hydrogen production. Background technique [0002] As a green energy with abundant reserves, high calorific value, high energy density and various sources, hydrogen energy is known as the "ultimate energy" in the 21st century. However, the utilization of hydrogen energy needs to start with hydrogen production. Since hydrogen rarely exists in the form of simple substances in nature, it needs to be produced through industrial means. The sources of hydrogen are mainly divided into: industrial by-product hydrogen, fossil fuel hydrogen production, electrolytic water hydrogen production, etc. The difference lies in the regeneration of raw materials, CO 2 Emissions and hydrogen production costs. At present, more than 95% of the world's...
