Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of hydrogen production by water electrolysis, and specifically to a method for preparing a highly stable multi-component rutile-structured acid / base amphoteric water electrolysis catalyst. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, green energy, represented by hydrogen energy, is characterized by its cleanliness, high efficiency, and environmental friendliness, and it also has a higher energy density than traditional fossil fuels. However, current industrial applications still primarily rely on fossil fuel-based hydrogen production, which clearly cannot solve the environmental pollution problem caused by fossil fuels. Water electrolysis, using water as a raw material, offers environmentally friendly hydrogen production with a single, high-purity product. Currently, water electrolysis for hydrogen production is mainly divided into four categories: PEM electrolysis, alkaline water electrolysis (ALK), anion exchange membrane electrolysis (AEM), and high-temperature solid oxide electrolysis. Among these, alkaline water electrolysis (ALK) technology is quite mature and low-cost, but it has a slow dynamic response, low operating current density, and high electrolyte concentration. PEM electrolysis is also commercialized, offering fast dynamic response and high operating current density, but it is costly. Anion exchange membrane electrolysis (AEM) offers high operating current density, low cost, and fast dynamic response, but it is still in the experimental stage. High-temperature solid oxide electrolysis operates at high temperatures and is also still in the experimental stage.

[0003] With the rapid development of photovoltaic and wind power generation, hydrogen, as a green energy source with low storage costs, can be used to store excess electricity in the form of hydrogen through water electrolysis. However, photovoltaic and wind power generation are unstable and significantly affected by the environment, meaning the generated electricity cannot be directly utilized. Leveraging the rapid dynamic response of PEM and AEM water electrolysis systems, they can be used in conjunction with photovoltaic and wind power systems to address the issue of unstable power generation. However, PEM water electrolysis is expensive, partly due to the need for the precious metal iridium as a catalyst; therefore, a low-cost catalyst needs to be developed. While AEM water electrolysis can use non-precious metals as its anode catalyst, its stability is poor; therefore, introducing a small amount of precious metal can improve the catalyst's stability.

[0004] Ruthenium, a precious metal, has gained favor among researchers due to its low cost and high activity. While ruthenium oxide exhibits excellent electrolytic activity in PEM water electrolysis, its stability is poor, necessitating doping to improve the stability of ruthenium-based catalysts in PEM water electrolysis. In AEM water electrolysis, although low-cost non-precious metal catalysts can be used, their stability remains a concern. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a method for preparing a highly stable acid / base amphoteric water electrolysis catalyst with a multi-element rutile structure, which introduces a large number of acid- and alkali-resistant elements to improve the stability of the catalyst under alkaline and acidic conditions.

[0016] (5) Dissolve the catalytically active noble metal precursor in acetone solution and stir until homogeneous to form solution C;

[0017] (6) Add mixture 2 slowly dropwise into solution C, and after ultrasonic treatment, mixture 3 is formed;

[0018] (7) Load the mixed solution 3 into the reaction vessel and carry out the hydrothermal reaction;

[0019] (8) The solid product obtained in step (7) is washed by centrifugation with acetone, then filtered and dried.

[0020] (9) Grind the solid product obtained in step (8) into fine powder, and then place it in a tube furnace for reduction and carbonization (to improve the conductivity and stability of the catalyst).

[0021] (10) Grind the product obtained in step (9) into fine powder and calcine it at low temperature (to ensure that the surface of the catalyst nanoparticles is partially oxidized and the interior is not oxidized, thereby improving its conductivity) to obtain the highly stable multi-element rutile structure acid / base amphoteric water electrolysis catalyst.

[0022] Furthermore, the preparation method of a highly stable multi-component rutile-structured acid / base amphoteric water electrolysis catalyst according to the above embodiments of the present invention may also have the following additional technical features:

[0027] In some embodiments of the present invention, in step (10), the calcination temperature is 200-300°C and the calcination time is 30-60 min.

[0032] 4) The catalyst prepared by this invention incorporates a large number of acid-resistant and alkali-resistant elements, which improves the stability of the catalyst under alkaline and acidic conditions.

[0033] 5) The catalyst prepared by this invention introduces two or more non-precious metal elements, and utilizes their interaction with precious metal elements to improve the electrolysis performance of the catalyst under alkaline and acidic conditions. Attached Figure Description
