Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of electrochemical materials, and particularly relates to a low-platinum self-supporting electrode and an electrochemical preparation method and application thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] The platinum group noble metal has characteristics of high catalytic property, high corrosion resistance, high temperature resistance, etc., and is often used as a catalyst for various reactions and is widely applied in the fields of chemical industry, petroleum chemical industry, automobile exhaust treatment, chemical sensor, fuel cell, biology, medicine, etc. The noble metal Pt plays an important role in the process of hydrogen atom adsorption on the catalyst surface to generate adsorbed hydrogen due to the existence of empty d orbital, and can effectively reduce the overpotential of cathode and anode, and is currently recognized as the most effective hydrogen evolution catalyst. However, the scarcity and high price of Pt greatly limit its commercial large-scale application. How to reduce the platinum loading while realizing high efficient electrocatalytic activity and stability is a key problem that needs to be urgently solved.

[0003] In recent years, researchers have found a phenomenon in the test of electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution, that is, a small amount of platinum stably existing in the counter electrode will dissolve and deposit on the cathode catalyst surface, thereby improving the performance of the catalyst. After that, platinum as an uncertain factor of performance is limited to be applied in the performance evaluation of electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution, which also makes people ignore the great prospect of this process in the synthesis of low-platinum catalyst.

[0004] Such an electrochemical process of platinum "pollution" is actually a coupling step of anodic electro-oxidation and cathodic electrodeposition with platinum metal as a platinum source, which fully utilizes the anode and cathode processes of electrochemical reaction, improves the efficiency of electrochemical synthesis, and in the process, the dissolution of platinum is extremely small, which not only avoids the consumption of high-valence platinum source (such as chloroplatinic acid, etc.) in the preparation process of low-platinum catalyst, but also effectively controls the deposition amount of platinum, and has great potential in reducing the cost of catalyst and practical application. However, there are still many problems in the actual application of this method. First, this process can only use Pt, and lacks a design and synthesis method of complex inorganic catalysts. Second, this electrodeposition method mainly deposits platinum element on the cathode surface, and the binding force of Pt and the conductive substrate and the stability of the electrode surface structure are poor, thereby affecting the catalytic performance.

[0005] In addition, the existing low-platinum catalysts generally use powder catalysts, which inevitably need to use adhesives to be fixed on the conductive substrate during use, which not only increases the mass transfer resistance, but also hinders the expression of active sites, and is easy to fall off from the conductive substrate during long-time high current density electrolysis, causing the electrocatalytic performance to decrease. Therefore, how to provide a simple and economical preparation method of low-platinum catalyst with high activity and stability is a problem to be solved. SUMMARY

[0006] The present application aims to provide a low-platinum self-supporting electrode and its electrochemical preparation method and application.

[0009] The nickel-based oxide is composed of nickel oxide, nickel hydroxide and hydroxyl nickel oxide.

[0010] The nickel-based oxide is composed of nickel oxide, nickel hydroxide and hydroxyl nickel oxide.

[0011] After the electrochemical reaction, the obtained low-platinum self-supporting electrode has a porous nanocluster structure, and the loading amount of platinum is 0.01-0.05 mg·cm -2 .

[0012] The electrochemical preparation method of the low-platinum self-supporting electrode is as follows:

Under the conditions of constant voltage 10-30 V and temperature 20-90℃ in the electrolyte, the electrochemical anodic oxidation and cathode electrodeposition coupled reaction is performed for 20-250 min, and the platinum-nickel-based oxide-tungsten oxide composite self-supporting electrode is obtained on the cathode, which is the low-platinum self-supporting electrode.

[0014] The tungsten sheet, the platinum sheet and the nickel sheet are metal tungsten, metal platinum and metal nickel with a purity greater than 99%. The thickness of the tungsten sheet and the platinum sheet is between 0.05-1 mm, and the thickness of the nickel sheet is between 0.1-2 mm.

[0015] The tungsten sheet, the platinum sheet and the nickel sheet are pretreated before use as follows: ultrasonic cleaning with a mixed solution of acetone, ethanol and deionized water in a volume ratio of 3:2:5 to remove the oil on the surface, then rinsing with deionized water and drying for standby use.

[0016] The electrolyte is an aqueous solution of hydrochloric acid with a concentration of 0.5-2.5 mol / L, preferably 0.8-2 mol / L.

[0017] The preferred electrochemical reaction conditions are as follows: constant voltage 15-25 V, temperature 30-80℃, and reaction time 20-200 min.

[0018] The low-platinum self-supporting electrode can be used in the field of alcohol and amine electrocatalytic oxidation and can also be used in the field of hydrogen production by electrolysis of water.

[0019] The technical principle of the present application comprises:

[0020] The present application combines the anodic oxidation of tungsten metal and the dynamic balance of chemical dissolution and electrodeposition of cathode nickel by utilizing the trace electrochemical dissolution characteristics of anode platinum metal in an acidic electrolyte, realizes the electrochemical co-deposition of the three in the cathode, greatly improves the catalytic activity and stability of the self-supporting electrode while controlling the extremely low platinum load.

[0021] The present application has the beneficial effects that:

[0022] The present application uses metal nickel as a substrate, adopts an anodic oxidation method coupled with an electrodeposition method to prepare a low-platinum self-supporting electrode in an aqueous solution containing hydrochloric acid, and obtains low-platinum self-supporting electrodes with different structures and compositions on the metal surface by controlling the electrolyte composition, reaction temperature, oxidation voltage and oxidation time.

[0023] The present application adopts a brand-new anodic oxidation coupled with electrodeposition electrochemical method, has simple preparation process, easy operation, low reaction equipment requirement, low price, high efficiency, and the prepared platinum and nickel oxide, tungsten oxide composite self-supporting electrode cannot easily fall off, has low platinum load, high economic benefit, high electrocatalytic activity and stability, and has wide application prospect in industrial application.
