Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution technology, specifically to a method for preparing a black phosphorus-modified platinum nanotube array and its application in the electrolysis of water for hydrogen evolution, particularly in the efficient electrolysis of water for hydrogen evolution in alkaline aqueous solutions. Background Technology

[0002] Hydrogen production via water electrolysis powered by renewable energy plays a crucial role in hydrogen energy development and energy conversion. The hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) is a vital component of water electrolysis, and researchers have made significant progress in improving HER efficiency over the years through the careful design of highly active platinum (Pt)-based electrocatalysts. Currently, water electrolysis in alkaline media offers advantages over acidic media because it avoids acid mist generation and produces hydrogen with higher purity. Furthermore, the membranes used in alkaline electrolyzers are more economical than those used in acidic media, reducing the cost of commercializing water electrolysis (ACS Materials Letters, 2021, 3, 224-234). However, since there are no hydrogen protons in the alkaline medium, the energy barrier of water dissociation must first be overcome before the hydrogen evolution reaction can continue. Pt atoms have a poor ability to activate water molecules, which results in the kinetics of the hydrogen evolution reaction in alkaline media being 2-3 orders of magnitude slower than in acidic media (Angewandte Chemie International Edition, 2021, 60, 18981-19006). Besides the slow kinetics, Pt-based catalysts also suffer from poor long-term stability in alkaline media, hindering the progress of Pt-based catalysts in alkaline water electrolysis for hydrogen production. According to the kinetic steps of HER, two key factors affect the catalytic performance of HER in alkaline media: (1) the water dissociation energy barrier; and (2) the adsorption strength of hydrogen intermediates (Nature Energy, 2020, 5, 891-899). By adjusting and optimizing these two key factors, high-performance and low-cost Pt-based HER electrocatalysts in alkaline media can be prepared. Studies have shown that doping or modifying Pt-based catalysts with non-metallic elements (such as N, P, and S) can lower the energy barrier for water dissociation and optimize the adsorption strength of hydrogen intermediates. Further combining this with morphology control strategies (such as nanowires, nanosheets, and nanotubes) can increase the number of active sites, thereby enhancing the HER activity and stability of Pt-based catalysts in alkaline media. Black phosphorus not only possesses a honeycomb structure but also has a highly exposed active surface and high carrier mobility, allowing its surface lone pair electrons to be fully exposed. These advantages make black phosphorus a promising candidate for electrocatalytic HER. It has been confirmed that black phosphorus, as a phosphorus source, has a unique activation effect on Pt atoms. The surface electron cloud density of Pt atoms activated by black phosphorus changes, thereby improving the hydrogen evolution performance in alkaline media (Angewandte Chemie International Edition, 2019, 58, 19060-19066). This strategy of combining black phosphorus with platinum-based catalysts can enhance the water dissociation ability of Pt atoms, improving the catalyst's hydrogen evolution catalytic stability and water electrolysis efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a black phosphorus-modified platinum nanotube array and its preparation method, and to use it as a cathode hydrogen evolution catalyst for water electrolysis, especially for hydrogen evolution in alkaline media. The synthesis process is simple, and the prepared black phosphorus-modified platinum nanotube array catalyst exhibits excellent hydrogen evolution performance in aqueous solutions with pH values ​​ranging from 2 to 13. The black phosphorus-modified platinum nanotube array effectively reduces the overpotential of the cathode hydrogen evolution reaction, particularly significantly improving hydrogen evolution performance in alkaline media, while also reducing the loading of the precious metal platinum, thus significantly improving energy conversion efficiency.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: This invention provides a method for preparing black phosphorus-modified platinum nanotube arrays by zinc oxide template-assisted electrochemical co-deposition, the specific steps of which are as follows: (1) The conductive substrate is placed vertically in a mixed aqueous solution of zinc nitrate and ammonium nitrate A. Under heating conditions, a conductive electrode is used as the counter electrode in a two-port electrolytic cell, and a zinc oxide nanorod array is obtained by constant current electrodeposition.

[0005] (2) The zinc oxide nanorod array obtained in step (1) is placed vertically in a mixed aqueous solution B of chloroplatinic acid and black phosphorus. Under heating conditions, a nanorod array loaded with platinum and phosphorus is obtained by constant current electrochemical co-deposition in a two-port electrolytic cell using a conductive electrode as the counter electrode.

[0006] (3) The nanorod array obtained in step (2) is placed vertically in a corrosive aqueous solution to remove the zinc oxide template, resulting in a three-dimensional self-supporting platinum nanotube array modified with black phosphorus loaded on a conductive substrate.

[0007] Furthermore, the conductive electrode used in step (1) can be a carbon rod, platinum sheet, or platinum wire; the conductive substrate is a conductive material such as carbon cloth, copper foam, nickel foam, or ultrathin metal sheet, preferably carbon cloth. For example, the carbon cloth is first cut into pieces with an area ranging from 4 to 20 cm². 2 Then, soak in acetone for 6-12 hours to remove surface impurities, then ultrasonically clean with a mixed solution of concentrated nitric acid and concentrated sulfuric acid at 30-100℃ for 5-60 minutes, and finally clean with ultrapure water and dry.

[0008] Further, in step (1), the concentration of zinc nitrate in the mixed aqueous solution A ranges from 0.01 M to 0.1 M, preferably 0.01 M, and the concentration of ammonium nitrate ranges from 0.01 M to 0.1 M, preferably 0.05 M. The electrodeposition temperature is 70-100 °C, preferably 70 °C, and the current density is 0.5-10 mA cm⁻¹. -2 Preferably 1 mA cm -2The electrodeposition time is 60-120 min, preferably 90 min.

[0009] Furthermore, in step (2), the concentration of chloroplatinic acid in the mixed aqueous solution B ranges from 0.1 to 5 mM, the concentration of black phosphorus ranges from 0.1 to 5 mM, the electrodeposition temperature is 30-100℃, preferably 35℃, and the current density is 0.1-5 mA cm⁻¹. -2 Preferred 1mA cm -2 The electrodeposition time is 15-90 min, preferably 60 min.

[0010] Furthermore, the corrosive aqueous solution in step (3) is an acidic aqueous solution with a pH less than 3 or an alkaline aqueous solution with a pH greater than 12, preferably an alkaline aqueous solution with a pH greater than 12, and the soaking time is 3-12 h, preferably 4 h.

[0011] This invention provides a method for preparing black phosphorus-modified platinum nanotube arrays. This invention also provides the application of black phosphorus-modified platinum nanotube arrays in promoting hydrogen evolution in water electrolysis in aqueous solutions with pH = 2-13. The black phosphorus-modified platinum nanotube arrays achieve a hydrogen evolution reaction of 150 mA cm⁻¹ in acidic electrolytes. -2 The overpotential required at the required current density is less than 90 mV; reaching 50 mA cm⁻¹ in a neutral electrolyte. -2 The overpotential required at the required current density is less than 100 mV; in alkaline electrolytes, it reaches 300 mA cm⁻¹. -2 The required overpotential for the current density is less than 280 mV.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: This invention, through black phosphorus-modified platinum nanotube array catalyst, effectively reduces the cathode hydrogen evolution overpotential in water electrolysis reactions at pH 2-13, especially in alkaline aqueous solutions. Simultaneously, it reduces the amount of precious metals required, resulting in high energy conversion efficiency and economic benefits. The synthesis process of this invention is simple and can be scaled up. The prepared catalyst exhibits excellent electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution performance, requiring a relatively small cathode electrode potential to achieve high current densities, and demonstrating high hydrogen evolution efficiency in water electrolysis, indicating broad application prospects.
