Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of electrocatalytic materials technology. More specifically, it relates to a highly active anti-corrosion and anti-fouling nanoarray material based on interfacial water regulation, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology

[0002] Driven by dual carbon goals, large-scale hydrogen production has become a core task in the energy transition. Compared to traditional water electrolysis for hydrogen production, which relies on freshwater, seawater electrolysis for hydrogen production does not consume precious freshwater resources. It directly utilizes seawater, which accounts for 97% of the world's water resources, as a raw material, making it a truly feasible hydrogen production pathway for large-scale implementation. The hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) at the cathode is the core half-reaction in seawater electrolysis for hydrogen production, and its catalytic performance directly determines the efficiency and cost of hydrogen production, representing a key bottleneck restricting the industrial application of the technology.

[0003] Currently, noble metal-based catalysts (such as Pt and Pd) have long been considered the preferred choice for HER electrocatalysts due to their excellent intrinsic catalytic activity, with their hydrogen adsorption free energy approaching the theoretical optimum. However, in the complex seawater electrolysis environment, these catalysts face three major challenges: First, the high concentration of chloride ions in seawater directly corrodes the catalyst surface, leading to the destruction of its crystal structure and rapid loss of active sites; second, calcium and magnesium ions form hydroxide precipitates during electrolysis, adhering to the electrode surface and causing scaling, which obscures active sites and increases mass transfer resistance; third, the electronic structure of traditional noble metal catalysts is not well regulated, and the interfacial water structure is not optimized, resulting in a slow kinetic process for hydrogen production through hydrolysis, making them unsuitable for the complex reaction environment of seawater systems.

[0004] Therefore, developing novel noble metal-based materials with high catalytic activity, corrosion resistance, and scale resistance for seawater electrolysis systems has become crucial in the current field of hydrogen production from seawater electrolysis. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This invention addresses the problems of low catalytic activity, poor corrosion resistance, and poor scaling resistance in existing seawater electrolysis hydrogen production materials, and aims to provide a method for preparing surface-modified transition metal hydroxide-supported noble metal nanoarray materials.

[0006] A second objective of this invention is to provide a surface-modified transition metal hydroxide-supported noble metal nanoarray material prepared by the above-described preparation method.

[0007] A third objective of this invention is to provide the application of the above-mentioned surface-modified transition metal hydroxide-supported noble metal nanoarray materials in the electrolysis of seawater for hydrogen evolution.

[0008] The above-mentioned objective of this invention is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0009] This invention provides a method for preparing a surface-modified transition metal hydroxide-supported noble metal nanoarray material, comprising the following steps: The transition metal-based current collector was immersed in a solution containing noble metal salts and multifunctional organic molecular modifiers to carry out a solvothermal reaction. After post-treatment, the surface-modified transition metal hydroxide-supported noble metal nanoarray material was obtained. The multifunctional organic molecule modifier is selected from at least one of organic polycarboxylic acid compounds, organic polyphosphate compounds, and polyphenolic compounds.

[0010] This invention creatively discovers that using multifunctional organic molecular modifiers (organic polycarboxylic acids, organic polyphosphates, and polyphenols) to surface-modify transition metal hydroxide-supported noble metal nanoarray materials can simultaneously achieve three key performance breakthroughs: First, it optimizes the electronic structure of the material and effectively reduces the water dissociation energy barrier, promoting the efficient generation of active hydrogen and significantly enhancing the intrinsic catalytic activity of the material; second, it effectively repels corrosive ions (such as Cl-) in seawater through electrostatic repulsion. - This significantly improves the electrode's corrosion resistance; thirdly, multifunctional organic molecular modifiers can coordinate with calcium, magnesium, and other metal ions in seawater, reducing the corrosion resistance of the electrodes. 2+ Mg 2+ Plasma adsorption and deposition on the electrode surface inhibits the formation of precipitates such as hydroxides, significantly improving the material's anti-scaling performance. Compared to unmodified materials and commercial platinum-carbon electrodes, the material prepared in this invention exhibits significant advantages in catalytic activity, corrosion resistance, and anti-scaling stability. Among them, the material modified with organic polycarboxylic acid compounds shows the best performance: reaching 100 mA·cm⁻¹ in the hydrogen evolution reaction of seawater electrolysis. -2 The required potential is minimal (as low as -0.010 V), and it can operate stably for over 200 hours in simulated seawater electrolytes; even in electrolytes with a high risk of scaling (calcium and magnesium ion concentrations approximately 10 times that of real seawater), it can still operate stably for over 400 minutes.

[0094] Application Example 1: Performance Testing of Electrocatalytic Seawater Splitting for Hydrogen Evolution (SWHER) Electrochemical testing was conducted using a computer-controlled electrochemical workstation (Autolab, PGSTAT302N) with a standard three-electrode system. The performance indicators for evaluating electrocatalytic materials included the voltage (E) required to achieve the same current density. The stability indicators for evaluating electrocatalytic materials included resistance to chlorine corrosion and resistance to scaling.

[0095] The electrocatalytic performance of the samples was studied in a three-electrode system using an electrode prepared in the examples or comparative examples as the working electrode (1×1 cm), a carbon rod as the counter electrode, and an Hg / HgO electrode (immersed in 1 M KOH solution) as the reference electrode. The potential value E(Hg / HgO) was converted to E(RHE) according to the formula E(RHE) = E(Hg / HgO) + 0.0977 + 0.05916 × pH.

[0096] Before recording the electrocatalytic activity of the catalyst, the catalyst was activated by CV (-1.42 V to -0.92 V vs. Hg / HgO) scanning in a simulated seawater electrolyte (1 M KOH + 0.5 M NaCl, pH = 13.6) under stirring. After the CV scanning results stabilized, the LSV curve (-1.72 V to -0.92 V vs. Hg / HgO) was measured, and the LSV curve was compensated for with 95% iR. Furthermore, the chlorine corrosion resistance and anti-scaling performance of the material were evaluated using chronopotentiometrics (CP). The specific test procedure for chlorine corrosion resistance was as follows: the catalyst was activated by CV (-1.42 V to -0.92 V vs. Hg / HgO) scanning in a simulated seawater electrolyte (1 M KOH + 0.5 M NaCl, pH = 13.6) under stirring. After the CV scanning results stabilized, the catalyst was activated by CV scanning at a current density of 100 mA cm⁻¹. -2CP tests were conducted, and the voltage change over time was recorded. The specific test procedure for anti-scaling stability was as follows: Under stirring, in an electrolyte containing a high concentration of calcium and magnesium salts (0.3 M MgCl2 + 0.03 M MgSO4 + 0.06 M CaCl2, the concentration is approximately 10 times that of real seawater, where CaCl2 is much higher than that of real seawater),... 2+ The concentration is approximately 10 mM, Mg 2+ The concentration was approximately 53 mM). The catalyst was activated by CV scanning. After the CV scanning results stabilized, the catalyst was activated at a current density of 300 mA cm⁻¹. -2 A CP test was performed, and the voltage change over time was recorded.
