Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a method for preparing a nitrogen-phosphorus co-doped carbon-encapsulated WO3-WP2 heterostructure material for water treatment, belonging to the field of material preparation and application. Background Technology

[0002] As a clean and renewable energy source, hydrogen energy is an ideal alternative to traditional fossil fuels, alleviating the pressure from carbon emissions. Among the reported hydrogen production pathways, electrocatalytic water splitting is an effective and clean method. Water electrolysis involves the oxygen evolution reaction at the anode and the hydrogen evolution reaction at the cathode. Compared to the hydrogen evolution reaction, the oxygen evolution reaction is a four-electron transfer process, so its kinetics are slow, making it the rate-controlling step in water electrolysis. In practical production, water electrolysis technologies include alkaline and acidic methods. Acidic water electrolysis has been studied more recently because this system can generate high current density, high voltage efficiency, and low impedance loss. However, low intrinsic activity and weak stability make water electrolysis under acidic conditions difficult to achieve. Therefore, developing efficient alkaline water electrolysis pathways has become an important research direction.

[0003] Studies have shown that constructing heterostructures can effectively increase the active surface area and efficiently catalyze water splitting. For example, Wang et al. constructed Ni3S4 / NiS2 / FeS2 heterostructured nanoparticles using ferric chloride hexahydrate, sodium diethyldithiocarbamate trihydrate, and nickel sulfate hexahydrate, achieving an electrocatalytic water splitting current density of 10 mA / cm² using 1M KOH as the electrolyte. 2 At that time, the voltage was 1.68V (Applied Surface Science 560(2021)149985). Feng et al. used Na2WO4·2H2O, C3H6N6, RuCl3·xH2O, and C4H 11 NO3, C8H 11 A Ru / WO3-W2N / NC electrolyte was constructed using NO2·HCl, and with 1M KOH as the electrolyte, the electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution current density was 10 mA / cm². 2 At that time, the overpotential was 64 mV; using 0.5 M H₂SO₄ as the electrolyte, the electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution current density was 10 mA / cm². 2 At that time, the overpotential was 110mV (Journal of Colloid and Interface Science 636(2023)618-62). Li et al. utilized Fe(NO3)3·9H2O, C3H6N6, RuCl3·xH2O, and C4H 11 NO3, C8H 11A Ru / Fe3O4-Fe3C / NC electrolyte was constructed using NO2·HCl, and with 1M KOH as the electrolyte, the electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution current density was 10 mA / cm². 2 At that time, the overpotential was 148 mV; using 0.5 M H₂SO₄ as the electrolyte, the electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution current density was 10 mA / cm². 2 At that time, the overpotential was 141 mV (International Journal of Hydrogen Energy 48(2023)15522-15532). In summary, constructing a nitrogen-phosphorus co-doped carbon-encapsulated WO3-WP2 heterostructure material for catalytic water splitting is of great significance. Summary of the Invention:
