Embodiment approach 1

[0100] The manufacturing method of the electrochemical electrode of this invention is demonstrated concretely. refer to Figure 4 Embodiment 1 will be described. Figure 4Reference numeral 401 denotes a nanoparticle generation chamber, 402 denotes an infrared radiation furnace, 403 denotes a particle size control chamber, and 404 denotes a stacking chamber.

[0101] In Embodiment 1, the nickel nanocrystal particles obtained in the step 1 are transported by using the carrier gas, and continuously supplied to the subsequent step without being exposed to the atmosphere.

[0102] The outline of Embodiment 1 is as follows. That is, nickel nanocrystalline particles were produced in the nanoparticle generation chamber 401 . Next, the nickel nanocrystal particles are conveyed with a carrier gas (He gas), and subjected to heat treatment in an infrared radiation furnace 402 to be single-crystallized. Next, after making the particle size uniform in the particle size control chamber 4...

[0125] Embodiment 1 (making of test electrode A)

[0126] On the central portion of the conductive substrate made of glassy carbon (glassy carbon) of φ 3mm, a mask with an opening of φ 2mm is arranged (refer to Figure 7 ).

[0127] According to the " figure 1 In the "manufacturing conditions of the active layer" shown in ", the active layer was formed in the opening. The height of the formed active layer was about 5 μm.

[0128] The catalyst supporting part of the test electrode is formed into a structure in which mirror-polished φ3mm glassy carbon is pressed into a PEEK material with a 6mm external thread cut out around it (refer to Figure 8 ).

[0129] Next, the catalyst carrying portion formed with the active layer is screwed into the electrode main body, and electrical connection and water repellency based on a packing material are performed. The current from the test electrode is taken out through the φ1.6mm brass rod of the electrode body (refer to Figure 8 ). ...

Abstract

The present invention provides an electrochemical electrode wherein transition metal (nickel) nanoparticles are used to form an active layer having a large surface area without using a conductive support while maintaining dispersibility and stability, and a method for producing the same. The present invention provides an electrochemical electrode having a conductive substrate and an active layer formed on the conductive substrate, wherein (1) the active layer has a nickel-containing nanostructured material having a dendritic structure formed by agglomerating a plurality of primary particles, and (2) each primary particle has a core and a shell surrounding the core wherein the core is formed of a nickel nanocrystal and the shell is formed of a nickel oxide film; and the present invention also provides a method for producing such an electrochemical electrode comprising: Step 1 of obtaining nickel nanocrystal particles, Step 2 of obtaining primary particles by forming a nickel oxide filmon the surface of each nickel nanocrystal particle, and Step 3 of forming a dendritic structure by agglomerating a plurality of the primary particles by depositing the primary particles substantiallyperpendicular to a conductive substrate.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to electrochemical electrodes used in batteries, sensors, and the like utilizing redox reactions, and more particularly to electrochemical electrodes using nickel-containing nanostructures having a dendritic crystal structure as active layers and methods for producing the same. Background technique [0002] In the past, materials with a fine structure were obtained by rapid solidification of composite materials such as metals, alloys, and compounds, and almost all of them had particle sizes on the order of several microns. [0003] On the other hand, in recent years, studies to reduce the particle size from the micrometer level to the nanometer level have been active. A nanostructure using such nanoparticles is characterized in that the proportion of atoms present at the particle boundary (surface) is high, for example, 40% in a nanoparticle with a diameter of 5 nm. Nanostructures have greatly different chemical and physi...
