[0002] Hydrogen energy is widely considered as a renewable energy with broad prospects and can have a transformative impact on human life. Electrocatalytic water splitting includes two half-reactions-electrocatalytic oxygen evolution reaction and electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction, and electrolysis of water is an effective path to produce high-quality hydrogen and oxygen. Due to the slow reaction kinetics, it is urgent to develop efficient catalysts to accelerate the water splitting process. Although platinum and ruthenium oxide-based catalysts exhibit good water reduction and water oxidation activity, their high price limits their large-scale commercial application. It is urgent to develop bifunctional non-noble metal catalysts.
[0003] Recent studies have found that transition metal phosphides have good water oxidation and water reduction activity. Liu's team treated carbon cloth in nitric acid solution at 100 DEG C for 10 h, and then cleaned it in acetone, ethanol and deionized water; WCl6, oxalic acid, ethanol and the like were added and transferred to a reaction kettle, Ar was introduced, 180 DEG C was treated for 10 h, and then 500 DEG C was calcined for 2 h to obtain a carbon cloth loaded WO3 nanosheet array; the array is reacted with NaH2PO2 to obtain WP2 / CC and WP / CC; WP2 / CC and WP / CC catalyze water reduction reaction under acidic conditions, and the voltage is 140 mV and 175 mV respectively when the current density is 10 mA / cm 2 (International Journal of Hydrogen energy 45 (2020) 28576-28585). Lu's team synthesized a carbon cloth loaded Ni-WO3 nanosheet array, reacted it with NaH2PO2 to obtain Ni-WP2 / CC, which showed high acidic water reduction performance, and the current density was 10 mA / cm 2 (Journal of Energy Chemistry 55 (2021) 17-24). Xu's team used hydrochloric acid to adjust the pH of a Na2WO4·2H2O solution to 1.2; then oxalic acid, H2WO4, (NH4)2SO4, and foamed Ni were added; it was hydrothermally treated at 180 DEG C for 10 h to obtain WO x / NF, and then calcined at 450 DEG C for 1 h to obtain a foamed Ni loaded WO3 nanorod; then reacted with NaH2PO2 to obtain WP2 / NF; the material catalyzes water splitting, and the current density is 10 mA / cm 2The time needs a voltage of 1.65V (Applied Surface Science 546 (2021) 148926). The WP2-P-WO3-P-Fe2O3 heterostructure nanosheet is constructed, the electronic coordination state of W is adjusted, and the activity of the water decomposition is changed, which has important research value.
