Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the preparation of metal organic framework materials (MOF) and its application in the field of hydrogen production by electrolysis of water, in particular to the preparation method of MOF structure material derived on MOF for hydrogen production by electrocatalysis. BACKGROUND

[0002] The large-scale application of fossil energy as the main energy of the current society has gradually deepened the pollution to the earth's environment. With the development of science and technology, in order to solve the pollution problem, various new energy sources with low pollution have gradually attracted the attention of researchers. Among many new energy sources, hydrogen energy is considered as one of the most practical renewable energy sources due to its renewable and environmental protection advantages.

[0003] Among many hydrogen production methods, water electrolysis is considered as a most promising large-scale high-purity hydrogen production method and is deeply studied by many researchers. The water electrolysis reaction is divided into oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), both of which have complex and slow electron transfer and kinetic processes, and often require additional potential far exceeding the theoretical decomposition voltage value (1.23V) of the reaction to overcome the reaction barrier and achieve the expected hydrogen production efficiency. In recent years, noble metal materials such as Pt, Pd, IrO2 have been found to significantly reduce the water electrolysis reaction barrier and accelerate the reaction kinetics, which are called electrocatalysts. However, due to the low content of noble metals in the earth's crust, the high use cost limits its future application. Therefore, it is of great research significance and engineering value to develop low-cost and high-efficiency dual-function catalysts for water electrolysis hydrogen production.

[0004] Metal organic framework material (MOF) is a kind of porous coordination compound, which is assembled by connecting inorganic nodes with organic ligands. It has attracted wide attention due to its excellent physical and chemical properties. Through the hybrid design idea of multi-dimensional metal organic framework (MOF-on-MOF), hybrid materials of two or more different types of MOF can be obtained. This method directly grows guest MOF on the pre-synthesized host MOF material, and the composition and properties of the guest material and the host MOF are generally different. Therefore, through the MOF-on-MOF strategy, the composition and structural diversity of MOF materials such as pore structure and surface properties can be further increased. Combined with the excellent electrocatalytic activity of transition metal materials such as Mn, Co and Ni, the application scenarios of MOF materials in the field of electrocatalysis can be further expanded.

[0066] The application will be further described in conjunction with specific examples, but the protection scope of the application is not limited to this:

[0067] Example 1: A preparation method of a phosphorized carbon composite porous Mn-Co MOF electrocatalyst (P@C@Mn-Co-MOF / NF) taking MnCl2·4H2O and Co(NO3)2·6H2O as reaction precursors, which comprises the following steps in sequence:

[0068] 1) Cut the nickel foam into a 2x3 cm rectangle, put it into 3M concentrated hydrochloric acid for ultrasonic treatment for 30 min, then use anhydrous ethanol and deionized water for ultrasonic treatment for 5 min respectively, take it out after drying in an 80℃ vacuum oven for 1 h, and get the cleaned nickel foam, ready for use. 2

[0069] 2) Take 0.198 g of MnCl2·4H2O and 0.166 g of terephthalic acid (BDC), dissolve the two powders in 10 mL of N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) respectively, stir uniformly to get two solutions, then pour the two solutions into a 50 mL polytetrafluoroethylene reaction kettle, mix, add 2 mL of 0.4M NaOH solution, stir for 5 min, then put the cleaned nickel foam obtained in step 1) into a 100℃ oven for reaction for 15 h, take out the reaction product after cooling, ultrasonic clean with anhydrous ethanol and deionized water for 5 min respectively, dry in an 80℃ vacuum oven for 5 h, and get the nickel foam loaded with Mn-BDC-MOF precursor.

[0070] Note: MOF represents metal organic framework material.

[0071] ​3) Take 0.291 g of Co(NO3)2·6H2O and 0.3283 g of 2-methylimidazole, respectively, and add each to 10 mL of a mixed solvent composed of methanol and ethanol = 1:1 (by volume), and stir to obtain two solutions. Then pour the two solutions into a 50 mL beaker, stir for 5 min, and then place in the foam nickel loaded with the Mn-BDC-MOF precursor obtained in step 2), and let stand at room temperature for 24 h. Then take out, and wash with anhydrous ethanol and deionized water (three times each), and then dry in a vacuum oven at 80°C for 7 h to obtain foam nickel loaded with multi-dimensional doped MOF; that is, foam nickel loaded with ZIF-67 / Mn(BDC).

[0072] Description: This step 3) is to grow ZIF-67 (a type of MOF) on the nanosheet MOF of step 2) to form a composite multi-dimensional doped structure of MOFON MOF.

[0073] 4) Place the foam nickel loaded with ZIF-67 / Mn(BDC) obtained in step 3) into a tube furnace for pyrolysis reaction, and carbonize the internal organic matter of the ZIF-67 / Mn(BDC) electrocatalytic material loaded on the foam nickel. After heating to 800°C at a rate of 5°C / min and holding for 3 h, the protective atmosphere is Ar, and after cooling to room temperature, the foam nickel loaded with C@Mn-Co-MOF material is obtained.

[0074] 5) Take 1 g of sodium hypophosphite particles and place in boat 1, and place the foam nickel loaded with C@Mn-Co-MOF material obtained in step 4) into boat 2. Boat 1 is placed near the gas inlet of the tube furnace, and boat 2 is placed near the gas outlet. Ar is introduced as a protective gas, and heating is carried out at a rate of 2°C / min to 350°C, holding for 2 h, and then cooling to room temperature to obtain a P@C@Mn-Co-MOF / NF electrocatalyst.

[0075] The scanning diagrams of the structures at each stage obtained in Example 1 are shown in Figure 1 It can be seen that the products prepared at each stage have a good porous structure, and ZIF67 can be uniformly grown on the surface of the sheet-shaped Mn-BDC-MOF structure, improving the electrocatalytic performance of the material.

[0076] The linear voltammetry curve (LSV) of the final electrocatalyst is shown in Figure 4 It can be seen from Figure 4 that at current densities of 10, 100 and 200 mA·cm -2 , the OER reaction overpotential of the P@C@Mn-Co-MOF / NF electrocatalyst is 317, 423 and 468 mV, respectively; at current densities of 10, 100 and 200 mA·cm -2The HER overpotential of the three groups of P@C@Mn-Co-MOF / NF electrocatalysts at a current density of 200 mA·cm-2 was 133 mV, 225 mV and 257 mV, respectively. In actual production, the smaller the overpotential of the catalytic electrode, the smaller the voltage required to reach a certain current density in actual production, that is, the stronger the catalytic activity of the electrocatalyst. Therefore, the P@C@Mn-Co-MOF / NF electrocatalyst has good bifunctional electrocatalytic performance.

[0077] Example 2: The pyrolysis temperature of step 4) in Example 1 was adjusted to 600, 700 and 900℃, and the rest was the same as Example 1. The final products were named P@C(600)@Mn-Co-MOF / NF, P@C(700)@Mn-Co-MOF / NF and P@C(900)@Mn-Co-MOF / NF, respectively.

[0078] The structure scanning diagram of the final product is shown in Figure 2 It can be found that at a lower temperature, the nanopores formed after the nanosheet is fused can be more clearly seen; and at 900℃, the nanocubic ZIF67 particles seriously agglomerate, and basically form a covering layer on the surface of the nickel foam, which shows that the MOF nanoparticles will exhibit different aggregation phenomena at different temperatures, and the MOF particles are more inclined to form block-shaped materials during the high-temperature process. At a lower temperature, the nanosheet can connect the nanoparticles to form a porous network structure.

[0079] In the LSV test, the HER / OER overpotential of the three groups of electrocatalysts in Example 2 at a current density of 200 mA·cm-2 was higher, which showed that 800℃ was still the best pyrolysis temperature at present. -2

[0080] Comparative Example 1: The process of step 3) in Example 1 was skipped, and the rest of the conditions remained unchanged; that is, the foam nickel loaded with Mn-BDC-MOF precursor obtained in step 2) of Example 1 was directly put into a tubular furnace for pyrolysis reaction, and the rest was the same as Example 1.

[0081] The final product was named P@C@Mn-MOF / NF.

[0082] Comparative Example 2: The process of step 2) in Example 1 was skipped, and the rest of the conditions remained unchanged; that is, the "foam nickel loaded with Mn-BDC-MOF precursor obtained in step 2)" in step 3) of Example 1 was changed to "cleaned foam nickel obtained in step 1)"; and the rest was the same as Example 1.

[0083] The final product was named P@C@CoMOF / NF.

[0084] ​Comparative Example 3: Steps 2) and 3) in Example 1 were combined to perform a one-step hydrothermal method, with the following adjustments:

[0085] 0.198 g of MnCl2·4H2O and 0.166 g of terephthalic acid were weighed out, and the two powders were dissolved in 10 mL of N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF), respectively, to obtain two solutions, which were then mixed in a 50 mL polytetrafluoroethylene reaction kettle, 2 mL of a 0.4 M NaOH solution was added, and stirring was performed for 5 min; the resulting mixture was named mixture one;

[0086] 0.291 g of Co(NO3)2·6H2O and 0.3283 g of 2-methylimidazole were weighed out, and the two powders were respectively added to 10 mL of a mixed solvent composed of methanol and ethanol = 1:1 (by volume), and stirring was performed to obtain two solutions, which were then poured into a 50 mL beaker and stirred for 5 min; the resulting mixture was named mixture two;

[0087] The mixture one and mixture two were mixed, stirred for 5 min, and then placed in a cleaned foam nickel in an oven at 100℃ for 15 h, and the reaction product was taken out after cooling, ultrasonic treatment was performed with anhydrous ethanol and deionized water for 5 min, and drying was performed in a vacuum oven at 80℃ for 7 h to obtain a one-step hydrothermal product. The final product was named P@C@MnCo-MOF / NF.

[0088] Figure 3 The structure scanning diagrams of Comparative Example 1, Comparative Example 2 and Comparative Example 3 show that the three materials P@C@Mn-MOF / NF, P@C@Co-MOF / NF and P@C@MnCo-MOF / NF after the same heat treatment process (carbonization and phosphatization process) have obvious agglomeration phenomenon, and the active material mainly exists in the form of a block, which is more unfavorable for the exposure of active sites and the contact of electrolyte with the active material compared with a porous structure, reduces the effective electrochemical active area, and is not conducive to the electrocatalytic performance, which can be seen from the LSV test results in Figure 4 .

[0089] In summary, the MOF material grown on the nanosheet layer MOF structure (MOF ON MOF structure) is successfully prepared through reasonable step-by-step experimental design.
