Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the preparation and electrocatalytic application of Ru / P-MoO3-P-MoO2-P-Fe3O4 heterostructure nanoribbons, belonging to the field of materials preparation and application. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, water electrolysis for hydrogen production is an important pathway to obtain hydrogen energy, and attention has been focused on Fe-based and Mo-based oxides. MoO3 possesses a unique physical structure; its layered nanostructure determines its conductivity and catalytic water electrolysis activity. By supporting Ru and doping P, Ru / P-MoO3-P-MoO2-P-Fe3O4 heterostructure nanoribbons were constructed to achieve highly efficient catalytic water splitting.

[0003] By doping with heteroatoms, surface heterostructures are constructed to increase their specific surface area, expose more active sites, and enhance charge transport between heterostructure interfaces to improve the conductivity of the catalyst. For example, Cen et al. synthesized Ru-MoO3-x NF using a one-step hydrothermal method, achieving hydrogen splitting in water at low voltage (Renewable Energy, 2021; 177:1346-55). Wei et al. prepared a composite electrocatalyst ZIF67@MoO3 NSs@NF, which is composed of ZIF67 nanocrystals coated on a nickel foam substrate and grown as MoO3 nanosheets, and achieved good overall water electrolysis reaction activity at low voltage (International Journal of Hydrogen Energy, 2022; 47(16):9606-15). Li et al. synthesized Ni(PO3)2-MoO3 nanorods via hydrothermal synthesis and phosphating, and immobilized them on nickel foam (Ni(PO3)2-MoO3 / NF), achieving water electrolysis at room temperature and low voltage (Nanoscale. 2018; 10(47):22173-9). In summary, heteroatom doping and the construction of heterojunctions can effectively improve the water electrolysis activity of MoO3, which is of significant research value for preparing highly active and stable water electrolysis catalysts.

[0004] Hydrogen is considered one of the most ideal clean and green energy sources of the 21st century, and electrocatalytic water splitting is the most ideal method for hydrogen production. Therefore, optimizing the electronic structure of active sites by doping with heteroatoms such as P, and constructing a Ru / P-MoO3-P-MoO2-P-Fe3O4 interface structure to achieve a highly efficient water electrolysis reaction is of significant practical importance. Summary of the Invention:

[0005] The present invention aims to provide the application of the preparation of Ru / P-MoO3-P-MoO2-P-Fe3O4 heterostructure nanoribbons in electrocatalytic water splitting reaction.

[0006] Based on the above objectives, the technical solution involved in this invention is as follows:

[0007] (1) Preparation of Ru / P-MoO3-P-MoO2-P-Fe3O4 heterostructured nanoribbons: 1-2g of commercial α-MoO3 powder was dissolved in 11-15mL of H2O2, and the reaction was carried out at 170-220℃ for 12-24h using a hydrothermal synthesis method to obtain α-MoO3 nanoribbons with a width of 100-350nm and a length of 400-6000nm; then, a mixture of 15-30mg of α-MoO3 nanoribbons and 80-120mg of FeCl3·6H2O was ground evenly, and 1-20mg of RuCl3 was added, and then placed in a porcelain boat; 1-2g of RuCl3 was taken. NaH2PO2·H2O was placed in another porcelain boat, and both boats were placed in a tube furnace, with the boat containing NaH2PO2·H2O positioned upstream. The furnace was heated at 300-400℃ for 1-4 hours in a N2 atmosphere to obtain Ru / P-MoO3-P-MoO2-P-Fe3O4 heterostructure nanoribbons with a width of 100-300 nm and a length of 310-6100 nm. In the above preparation method, the Ru / P-MoO3-P-MoO2-P-Fe3O4 heterostructure nanoribbons form a heterostructure with P-doped MoO3, P-doped MoO2, and P-doped Fe3O4. The MoO3 crystal phase is attributed to standard card JCPDS#05-0508, the MoO2 crystal phase to standard card JCPDS#32-0671, and the Fe3O4 crystal phase to standard card JCPDS#19-0629.

[0008] (2) Application of Ru / P-MoO3-P-MoO2-P-Fe3O4 heterostructure nanoribbons prepared by the above method in electrocatalytic water splitting reaction; the electrocatalytic water splitting reaction has a current density of 10 mA / cm at a voltage of 1.6-1.7 V. 2 .

[0009] The present invention has the following advantages:

[0010] 1) Using α-MoO3, FeCl3·6H2O, and RuCl3 as precursors, Ru / P-MoO3-P-MoO2-P-Fe3O4 heterostructure nanoribbons were prepared by phosphating process, and a new synthetic route for Ru / P-MoO3-P-MoO2-P-Fe3O4 heterostructure nanoribbons was developed.

[0011] 2) Ru / P-MoO3-P-MoO2-P-Fe3O4 heterostructure nanoribbons exhibit good performance in electrocatalytic water splitting reaction.

[0012] 3) The present invention has the advantages of being simple and easy to operate. Attached image description:
