Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of nanomaterials technology, specifically to carbon-doped Ru / RuO2 nanosheets, their preparation methods, and applications. Background Technology
[0002] Hydrogen production technologies via water electrolysis mainly include alkaline water electrolysis (ALK), proton exchange membrane (PEM), anion exchange membrane (AEM), and solid oxide electrolysis (SOEC). Among these, alkaline water electrolysis is the most mature, commercially widespread, and relatively low-cost, but it suffers from slow response, poor flexibility, gas cross-contamination and purity issues, and difficulty in achieving high-pressure differential operation. Proton exchange membrane (PEM) water electrolysis is highly efficient, has a fast response, is compact, and produces high-purity hydrogen, but it is expensive and has poor membrane lifespan and stability. Anion exchange membrane (AEM) water electrolysis combines low cost and high performance, but it is currently in the transition phase from laboratory to pilot-scale demonstration, lacking long-term, large-scale practical operational data for verification.
[0003] Ruthenium-based catalysts exhibit higher intrinsic activity, lower cost, and higher abundance in PEM electrolysis, but suffer from poor stability and conductivity. In AEM electrolysis, ruthenium-based catalysts show high activity, with a dissolution rate far lower than in acidic environments. Using high-performance ruthenium-based anodes can reduce the operating voltage of AEM electrolyzers, improving energy efficiency and reducing power consumption costs. However, ruthenium remains a precious metal, and the initial goal of AEM technology is to reduce dependence on precious metals. Therefore, ruthenium-based catalysts are considered a "transitional bridge" in the early stages of AEM's high-performance commercialization, rather than the ultimate goal. Improving the activity and durability of ruthenium-based catalysts and reducing costs through rational structural design has become an important research direction. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide carbon-doped Ru / RuO2 nanosheets, their preparation methods, and applications.
[0005] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a method for preparing carbon-doped Ru / RuO2 nanosheets, comprising the following steps: A solution of 2,4,6-tricarboxymethyl phloroglucinol (Tp) and a solution of 4,4-diaminobiphenyl (2C-NH2) were mixed, sonicated, and then acetic acid (AcOH) solution was added. The mixture was reacted at 90℃-110℃ to obtain 2C-COF. 2C-COF and ruthenium trichloride solution were placed in a reaction vessel and reacted at 110℃-130℃ to obtain 2C-Ru; 2C-Ru was calcined at 200℃-450℃ to obtain carbon-doped Ru / RuO2 nanosheets (2C-Ru / RuO2).
[0006] In this invention, a COF (2C-COF) with abundant carbon-carbon bonds is first prepared. Using 2C-COF as a support, carbon atoms are introduced to act as carbon dopant. Carbon doping can improve electronic conductivity, structural stability, dispersion of active sites, and synergistic catalytic effects, and is suitable for neutral and a wide pH range. Then, 2C-Ru is prepared from 2C-COF and ruthenium trichloride solution. Finally, 2C-Ru is calcined to obtain carbon-doped Ru / RuO2 nanosheets. The carbon-doped Ru / RuO2 nanosheets contain Ru / RuO2 heterojunctions, giving them excellent HER and OER catalytic performance. Ru is a known excellent HER catalyst with a suitable hydrogen adsorption free energy (ΔG_H* ≈ 0), which is beneficial for the adsorption / desorption of hydrogen intermediates and promotes H2 generation. RuO2 is a highly efficient OER catalyst that maintains its structure and activity in acidic media and is one of the key materials for proton exchange membrane electrolyzers (PEMWE). In Ru / RuO2 heterojunctions, the HER performance mainly comes from metallic Ru, while the OER performance mainly comes from RuO2. The interfacial synergistic effect is the key to improving the bifunctional performance. Metallic Ru improves conductivity and mechanical stability, while RuO2 provides OER active sites and inhibits excessive Ru oxidation.
[0007] In some optional embodiments, a solution of 2,4,6-triformylphloroglucinol and a solution of 4,4-diaminobiphenyl are mixed, sonicated, and then acetic acid solution is added.
