[0190] Performance test object

[0191] The following takes Examples 1, 3, 4, 6, 8 and Comparative Examples 1-15 as examples to measure the activity and stability of the prepared material in electrocatalytic sulfide oxidation reaction at room temperature, and other example results are similar to those of Examples 1, 3, 4, 6, 8.

[0192] Application Example 1 Performance test of electrocatalytic sulfide oxidation reaction (SOR)

[0193] The electrochemical test adopts a computer-controlled electrochemical workstation (Autolab, PGSTAT302N), and a standard three-electrode system is used for measurement. The indicators for evaluating the activity of the electrocatalytic material are: the current density reaches 100 mA cm -2 The required voltage (E 100 ), the lower the voltage value, the better the electrocatalytic activity (or the faster the current density rises, the smaller the change in voltage value, the better the electrocatalytic activity); the method for evaluating the stability of the electrocatalytic material is: the change of voltage with time under constant current (0.10 A), i.e. chronopotentiometry (CP), the smaller the amplitude of the change of voltage with time, the better the electrocatalytic stability.

[0194] Array electrodes (cut into 1 x 1 cm 2 ) prepared in Examples or Comparative Examples were investigated for electrocatalytic activity and stability of samples in a three-electrode system with the array electrode as the working electrode, a carbon rod as the counter electrode, and a Hg / HgO (immersed in 1.0 M KOH solution) electrode as the reference electrode. For electrocatalytic activity testing, the catalyst was activated by CV (-0.90-0 V vs. Hg / HgO) scanning in a sulfide-containing electrolyte (1 M NaOH + 1 M Na2S, pH = 13.74) under stirring, and after the CV scanning results were stable, LSV curves were tested (-0.90-0 V vs. Hg / HgO), and 95% iR compensation was performed on the LSV curves. For electrocatalytic stability testing, the catalyst was activated by CV (-0.90-0 V vs. Hg / HgO) scanning in a sulfide-containing electrolyte (1 M NaOH + 1 M Na2S, pH = 13.74) under stirring, and after the CV scanning results were stable, chronoamperometry stability testing was performed at a current density of 100 mA cm -2 . The testing process was to ensure that the electrolyte solution contained sufficient sulfide, and the solution was replaced every 24 h. According to the formula E(RHE) = E(Hg / HgO) + 0.0977 + 0.05916 x pH, the potential value E(RHE) was converted from E(Hg / HgO), where pH was the pH of the sulfide-containing electrolyte.

[0195] The SOR activity of the selenium vacancy and iron doping synergistically regulated copper selenide nanometer array electrode (NF / Fe-CuSe-V Se ) of Example 1 and the copper selenide nanometer array electrode (NF / CuSe) of Comparative Example 1, the iron doping regulated copper selenide nanometer array electrode (NF / Fe-CuSe) of Comparative Example 2, and the selenium vacancy regulated copper selenide nanometer array electrode (NF / CuSe-V Se ) of Comparative Example 3 was tested, and the results are shown in Figure 9 ; the SOR stability of the selenium vacancy and iron doping synergistically regulated copper selenide nanometer array electrode (NF / Fe-CuSe-V Se ) of Example 1 and the copper selenide nanometer array electrode (NF / CuSe) of Comparative Example 1 was tested, and the results are shown in Figure 10 .

[0196] As can be seen from Figure 9 , for the activity of SOR, compared with NF / CuSe, NF / Fe-CuSe, and NF / CuSe-V Se , NF / Fe-CuSe-V Se has a smaller E 100 , and E 100 vs. RHE is NF / Fe-CuSe-V Se(0.303 V) < NF / Fe-CuSe (0.344 V) < NF / CuSe-V Se (0.340 V) < NF / CuSe (0.413 V). From Figure 10 It can be seen that, for the stability of SOR, NF / Fe-CuSe-V Se could be operated stably for 96 h at a current density of 100 mA cm -2 , while the performance of NF / CuSe decreased significantly after 24 h of operation. With the increase of time, the voltage values of both NF / Fe-CuSe-V Se and NF / CuSe increased, but the voltage value of NF / CuSe increased faster. After replacing the sulfide-containing electrolyte solution, the voltage value of NF / Fe-CuSe-V Se could recover to the previous one, but the voltage value of NF / CuSe could not. It can be seen that NF / Fe-CuSe-V Se has excellent stability. It can be seen that, compared with the copper selenide nanometer array electrode, the selenium vacancy and iron-doped cooper selenide nanometer array electrode has more excellent activity and stability in SOR.

[0197] Application Example 2 Performance test of electrocatalytic sulfide oxidation reaction (SOR)

[0198] The SOR activity test was performed on the tellurium vacancy and manganese-doped cooper selenide nanometer array electrode (SS / Mn-CoTe-V Te ) of Example 3, the cooper selenide nanometer array electrode (SS / CoTe) of Comparative Example 4, the manganese-doped cooper selenide nanometer array electrode (SS / Mn-CoTe) of Comparative Example 5, and the tellurium vacancy-doped cooper selenide nanometer array electrode (SS / CoTe-V Te ) of Comparative Example 6; the SOR stability test was performed on the tellurium vacancy and manganese-doped cooper selenide nanometer array electrode (SS / Mn-CoTe-V Te ) of Example 3 and the cooper selenide nanometer array electrode (SS / CoTe) of Comparative Example 4; the test method was the same as that of Application Example 1, and the results were shown in Figure 11 and Figure 12 .

[0199] From Figure 11 it can be seen that, for the activity of SOR, compared with SS / CoTe, SS / Mn-CoTe and SS / CoTe-V Te , SS / Mn-CoTe-V Te has a smaller E 100 , and the E 100 vs. RHE of SS / Mn-CoTe-V Te(0.328V) < SS / Mn-CoTe (0.403V) < SS / CoTe-V Te (0.426V) < SS / CoTe (0.483V). From Figure 12 It can be seen that, for the stability of SOR, SS / Mn-CoTe-V Te can be stably operated for 96h at a current density of 100mA cm -2 , while the performance of SS / CoTe decreases significantly after 24h of operation. With the increase of time, the voltage values of SS / Mn-CoTe-V Te and SS / CoTe are both increasing, but the voltage value of SS / CoTe increases faster. After replacing the sulfide-containing electrolyte solution, the voltage value of SS / Mn-CoTe-V Te can recover to the previous one, while the voltage value of SS / CoTe cannot. It can be seen that SS / Mn-CoTe-V Te has excellent stability. It can be seen that, compared with the cobalt telluride nanometer array electrode, the cobalt telluride nanometer array electrode synergistically regulated by tellurium vacancy and manganese doping has more excellent activity and stability in SOR.

[0200] Application Example 3 Performance test of electrocatalytic sulfide oxidation reaction (SOR)

[0201] The SOR activity test was performed on the selenium vacancy and tungsten doping synergistically regulated iron selenide nanometer array electrode (CC / W-FeSe-V Se ) of Example 4, the iron selenide nanometer array electrode (CC / FeSe) of Comparative Example 7, the tungsten doping regulated iron selenide nanometer array electrode (CC / W-FeSe) of Comparative Example 8, and the selenium vacancy regulated iron selenide nanometer array electrode (CC / FeSe-V Se ) of Comparative Example 9; the SOR stability test was performed on the selenium vacancy and tungsten doping synergistically regulated iron selenide nanometer array electrode (CC / W-FeSe-V Se ) of Example 4 and the iron selenide nanometer array electrode (CC / FeSe) of Comparative Example 7; the test method was the same as that of Application Example 1, and the results were seen in Figure 13 and Figure 14 .

[0202] From Figure 13 it can be seen that, for the activity of SOR, compared with CC / FeSe, CC / W-FeSe and CC / FeSe-V Se , CC / W-FeSe-V Se has a smaller E 100 , E 100 vs. RHE of CC / W-FeSe-V Se (0.328V) < CC / FeSe-V Se(0.403 V) < CC / W-FeSe (0.426 V) < CC / FeSe (0.526 V). From Figure 14 It can be seen that for the stability of SOR, CC / W-FeSe-V Se can operate stably at a current density of 100 mA cm -2 for 96 h, while the performance of CC / FeSe decreases significantly after 24 h of operation. As time increases, the voltage values of both CC / W-FeSe-V Se and CC / FeSe increase, but the voltage value of CC / FeSe increases faster. After replacing the sulfide-containing electrolyte solution, the voltage value of CC / W-FeSe-V Se can return to the previous level, while the voltage value of CC / FeSe cannot. It can be seen that CC / W-FeSe-V Se has excellent stability. Thus, compared with the iron selenide nanorod array electrode, the iron selenide nanorod array electrode co-regulated by selenium vacancies and tungsten doping has more excellent activity and stability in SOR.

[0203] Application Example 4 Performance Test of Electrocatalytic Sulfide Oxidation Reaction (SOR)

[0204] Perform SOR activity tests on the nickel telluride nanorod array electrode (NF / CuFe-NiTe-V Te ) co-regulated by tellurium vacancies and copper and iron doping in Example 6, the nickel telluride nanorod array electrode (NF / NiTe) in Comparative Example 10, the nickel telluride nanorod array electrode (NF / CuFe-NiTe) regulated by copper and iron doping in Comparative Example 11, and the nickel telluride nanorod array electrode (NF / NiTe-V Te ) regulated by tellurium vacancies; perform SOR stability tests on the nickel telluride nanorod array electrode (NF / CuFe-NiTe-V Te ) co-regulated by tellurium vacancies and copper and iron doping in Example 6 and the nickel telluride nanorod array electrode (NF / NiTe) in Comparative Example 10; the test method is the same as that in Application Example 1, and the results are shown in Figure 15 and Figure 16 .

[0205] From Figure 15 it can be seen that for the activity of SOR, compared with NF / NiTe, NF / CuFe-NiTe, and NF / NiTe-V Te , NF / CuFe-NiTe-V Te has a smaller E 100 , and E 100 vs. RHE are NF / CuFe-NiTe-V Te (0.382 V) < NF / NiTe-V Te(0.483 V) < NF / CuFe-NiTe (0.486 V) < NF / NiTe (0.675 V). From Figure 16 It can be seen that, for the stability of SOR, NF / CuFe-NiTe-V Te At a current density of 100 mA cm -2 , it can be stably operated for 96 h, while the performance of NF / NiTe is significantly reduced after 24 h of operation. With the increase of time, the voltage values of NF / CuFe-NiTe-V Te and NF / NiTe are both increasing, but the voltage value of NF / NiTe increases faster. After replacing the sulfide-containing electrolyte solution, the voltage value of NF / CuFe-NiTe-V Te can be restored to before, but the voltage value of NF / NiTe cannot, which shows that NF / CuFe-NiTe-V Te has excellent stability. Therefore, compared with the nickel telluride nanometer array electrode, the nickel telluride nanometer array electrode synergistically regulated by tellurium vacancies and copper and iron doping has more excellent activity and stability in SOR.

[0206] Application Example 5 Performance test of electrocatalytic sulfide oxidation reaction (SOR)

[0207] The SOR activity test was performed on the nickel telluride nanometer array electrode synergistically regulated by tellurium vacancies and copper and manganese doping (TM / CuMn-NiTe-V Te ) of Example 8 and the nickel telluride nanometer array electrode (TM / NiTe) of Comparative Example 13, the nickel telluride nanometer array electrode regulated by copper and manganese doping (TM / CuMn-NiTe) of Comparative Example 14 and the nickel telluride nanometer array electrode regulated by tellurium vacancies (TM / NiTe-V Te ) of Comparative Example 15; the SOR stability test was performed on the nickel telluride nanometer array electrode synergistically regulated by tellurium vacancies and copper and manganese doping (TM / CuMn-NiTe-V Te ) of Example 8 and the nickel telluride nanometer array electrode (TM / NiTe) of Comparative Example 13; the test method was the same as that of Application Example 1, and the results were shown in Figure 17 and Figure 18 .

[0208] From Figure 17 it can be seen that, for the activity of SOR, compared with TM / NiTe, TM / CuMn-NiTe and TM / NiTe-V Te , TM / CuMn-NiTe-V Te has a smaller E 100 , E 100 vs. RHE is TM / CuMn-NiTe-V Te (0.326 V) < TM / NiTe-VTe (0.368 V) <TM / CuMn-NiTe(0.372 V) <TM / NiTe(0.559 V). From the results, it can be seen that the TM / CuMn-NiTe-V Figure 18 It can be seen that the TM / CuMn-NiTe-V Te At a current density of 100 mA cm-2, the TM / CuMn-NiTe-V -2 can be stably operated for 96 h, while the performance of the TM / NiTe is significantly reduced after 24 h of operation. With the increase of time, the voltage values of both the TM / CuMn-NiTe-V Te and the TM / NiTe are increasing, but the voltage value of the TM / NiTe increases faster. After replacing the sulfide-containing electrolyte solution, the voltage value of the TM / CuMn-NiTe-V Te can be restored to the previous one, but the voltage value of the TM / NiTe cannot, which indicates that the TM / CuMn-NiTe-V Te has excellent stability. It can be seen that, compared with the nickel telluride nanomaterial electrode, the nickel telluride nanomaterial electrode synergistically regulated by tellurium vacancies and copper and manganese doping has more excellent activity and stability in the SOR.
