AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing catalysts tend to agglomerate during hydrogen production, making it difficult to expose active sites and resulting in poor improvement in hydrogen production efficiency.

Method used

The electrocatalyst employs a heterogeneous structure, comprising a monodisperse transition metal compound support and a noble metal. The transition metal compound support and the noble metal form a heterogeneous structure with sizes controlled within 20 nm and 3 nm, respectively. It is prepared by a hot-injection process to ensure that the catalyst is not prone to agglomeration, and the noble metal and the transition metal compound support exert a synergistic effect.

Benefits of technology

It improves the exposure rate of active sites of electrocatalyst, enhances hydrogen production efficiency, reduces energy consumption, and achieves efficient hydrogen production in methanol and water co-electrolysis with good byproduct selectivity, thus avoiding CO2 emissions.

Abstract

本申请实施例提供了一种电催化剂及其制备方法和用途,电催化剂具有异质结构,电催化剂包括单分散的过渡金属化合物载体以及贵金属,该贵金属负载于过渡金属化合物载体,其中,过渡金属化合物载体与贵金属形成异质结结构,过渡金属化合物载体的尺寸小于或等于20nm,贵金属的尺寸小于或等于3nm。电催化剂中的异质结构可使贵金属和过渡金属化合物载体发挥协同效应,以提高电催化剂的活性。由于单分散的过渡金属化合物载体,因而电催化剂不易团聚,使得电催化剂的活性位点暴露的机率增大,再通过渡金属化合物载体与贵金属所形成异质结构的协同效应,从而使本申请实施例提供的电催化剂对制氢效率的提高效果较佳。
