AI Technical Summary
Due to the low reserves and high prices of existing IrO2 and RuO2-based materials, the electrocatalytic water oxidation efficiency is limited. The existing h-WO3 materials lack catalytic activity in electrolytic water, making it difficult to meet the demand for efficient electrocatalytic water oxidation.
By dispersing H2WO4 into a mixed solution of hydrogen peroxide and NaNO3 and heated to prepare a hexagonal phase h-WO3 vertically interspersed micron disk, it is applied to electrocatalytic water oxidation reaction to form an IrO2/WO3 complex to improve catalytic activity.
The production of oxygen at a high current density at a lower overpotential is achieved, showing high catalytic capacity, the current density reaches 10mA/cm2 and the overpotential is 250-400mV.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to a method for preparing hexagonal phase h-WO3 vertically interlaced micron disks for water treatment, belonging to the field of material preparation and application. Background Art
[0002] Due to the energy crisis caused by the extensive use of fossil fuels, the development of green energy has become a hot topic in the world. Hydrogen energy has become a focus of attention due to its advantages such as high energy density and pollution-free combustion. There are many ways to produce hydrogen, among which electrocatalytic decomposition of water to produce hydrogen and oxygen is an effective path. Electrocatalytic water oxidation is a half-reaction of water electrolysis, and its slow kinetics seriously restricts the efficiency of water electrolysis. IrO2 and RuO2-based materials can effectively catalyze water oxidation, but the disadvantages of these materials are low reserves and high prices. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop highly active and stable non-precious metal materials to improve the efficiency of electrocatalytic water oxidation.
[0003] The wide bandwidth makes WO3 have high catalytic activity. At present, WO3 mainly includes the thermodynamically stable phase m-WO3 and the thermodynamically metastable phase h-WO3. Among them, h-WO3 contains a large channel, and the structure is constructed by [WO6] octahedron. Electrocatalytic water splitting mainly focuses on m-WO3 catalysts, while h-WO3 electrolysis of water is rarely involved. Yang's team will (NH4) 10 [H2W 12 O 42 ]·xH2O was calcined at 350℃ for 120min to obtain WO3 material, which was then dispersed into H2IrCl6·6H2O solution and calcined at 400℃ for 240min to obtain IrO2 / WO3 composite. WO3 had almost no activity in the electrocatalytic water oxidation reaction, and the current density of the IrO2 / WO3 material was 13.9mA / cm at 450mV. 2 (Int J Hydrogen Energy 2019;44:31082-93). Dai's team constructed a WO3@F-GS material using CF3(CF2)6COOH, W, and graphite sheets. The addition of F enhanced the catalytic water oxidation performance, with a current density of 10 mA / cm at 298 mV. 2 (Chem Eng J 2023; 451: 138590). Liang's team found that h-WO3 had almost no water oxidation activity. After combining it with rGO, they obtained WO3 / rGO, which had a current density of 5 mA / cm at 570 mV. 2 (EnergyEnviron Mater 2021;4:681-6).
[0004] Recent studies have shown that modifying the morphology, size, and composition of materials can increase the number of active sites on the catalyst, thereby enhancing its electrocatalytic activity. Therefore, it is of great significance to modify the WO3 crystal structure and morphology to achieve efficient catalytic water oxidation. Summary of the Invention
