Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] With the increasing demand for low-carbon emission reduction, clean energy has become the focus of current research. Hydrogen energy has always been concerned due to its environmental protection, non-pollution, high calorific value and other advantages. PEM water electrolysis hydrogen production technology has the characteristics of high current density, low energy consumption, high hydrogen production pressure, fast dynamic response time, and has the basic conditions for industrialization and scaling. Therefore, PEM water electrolysis hydrogen production is a green hydrogen development technology route with excellent development prospects. In the process of PEM water electrolysis hydrogen production, the performance of the catalyst has a very important influence on the performance of water electrolysis. Currently, the main catalysts used in the cathode side of PEM water electrolysis hydrogen production are Pt black and Pt / C catalysts, and the main catalysts used in the anode side are noble metal catalysts such as Ir black and IrO2.

[0003] In PEM water electrolysis and hydrogen fuel cell catalysts, Pt-based nanocatalysts are the most widely used catalysts at present, but Pt is a very expensive metal and cannot meet the requirements of industrial scale production, so the current focus is on improving Pt utilization and reducing Pt loading. PtRu alloy catalyst is a widely studied catalyst. The price of Ru element is relatively low compared to Pt, and the resource is abundant. The use of Ru further reduces the Pt loading and reduces the cost of catalyst preparation. PtRu black, PtRu / C and other catalysts on the market have been produced in small batches of ten grams, but from the overall cost of business and the stability of the catalyst, it is necessary to try ternary PtRuM alloy catalyst. Today, although the research system of PtRu ternary alloy catalyst has been carried out, in PtRuM alloy catalyst, M is synthesized and tested for transition metals such as Fe, Co, and Ni, and rare earth elements such as La and Ce need to be further tried and explored.

[0076] Comparative Example 2

[0077] In comparison with Example 1, no rare earth element La was introduced into the reaction system, and a PtRu catalyst was directly prepared. The specific steps are as follows:

[0078] Step S1. 0.20 g of RuCl3 was weighed and ultrasonically dispersed in deionized water for 30 min to form a uniform mixture;

[0079] Step S2. 2.12 g of H2PtCl6 solid and 4.64 g of CH3COONa solid were weighed and added to deionized water, and ultrasonically dispersed for 30 min to form a uniform H2PtCl6 solution and CH3COONa solution;

[0087] From the data in Table 1, it can be seen that the catalyst in Example 1 has a higher specific surface area and smaller particle size, increasing the number of catalyst active sites, while accelerating the gas-liquid transmission and reducing the water electrolysis voltage; without introducing a metal protective agent, the specific surface area of the catalyst in Comparative Example 1 is small, the particle size increases and the performance in water electrolysis test is also poor.

[0088] Example 6 membrane electrode (MEA) preparation

[0089] Cathode ink configuration, weigh 200 mg of the catalyst prepared in Example 1, Comparative Examples 1-2, mix with 10 mL of deionized water, 85 mL of ethanol, and 5 mL of 5% Nafion solution (D520), and ultrasonic for 60 min to obtain the cathode ink;

[0090] Anode ink configuration, using iridium oxide product, configure a uniform and stable anode ink according to the above slurry preparation process steps;

[0091] MEA preparation (using CCM method), use an ultrasonic spray instrument to spray the above-mentioned cathode and anode inks to both sides of the proton exchange membrane, the area of the catalyst layer is 20 cm 2 , the Pt loading of the cathode is controlled to be 1 mg / cm 2 , and the IrO2 loading of the anode is controlled to be 2 mg / cm 2 .

[0092] MEA water electrolysis test is as follows:

[0093] Single PEM electrolytic cell assembly, stainless steel felt is used for the cathode porous diffusion layer, platinum-coated porous titanium felt is used for the anode diffusion layer, and purified ultrapure water is taken from the water tank. The flow rate of ultrapure water during the test is 300 mL / min, and the water temperature is controlled at 40°C; the membrane electrode test is carried out in a constant current charging mode.

[0094] Membrane electrode performance test is as follows: Figure 3The prepared catalysts of Example 1 and Comparative Examples 1 and 2 were evaluated by charging three electrolytic cells with a constant current of 20 A for 7 hours. The voltage curve of Example 1 tended to be stable after 1 hour of operation, and the voltage fluctuated in the range of 1.64-1.68 V within 1-7 hours, and the average voltage was 1.66 V at 1 A / cm 2 In Comparative Example 1, the voltage tended to increase with time, and the voltage was 2.18 V at 1 A / cm 2 after 7 hours; in Comparative Example 2, the voltage tended to decrease with time, but the voltage was 2.02 V at 1 A / cm 2 after 7 hours, and the voltage changed all the time within 7 hours; from the above analysis, it can be concluded that the catalyst in Example 1 has the best water electrolysis performance, because of the large specific surface area and small particle size, which can provide sufficient number of active sites and accelerate gas-liquid transmission, thereby improving the water electrolysis performance and increasing the mechanical stability.
