AI Technical Summary
In existing water electrolysis hydrogen production technologies, the high loading of precious metal catalysts and the small reserves of precious metals result in high catalyst costs, which limits their large-scale application. Furthermore, the hydrogen evolution reactions at the cathode and anode require high polarization overpotentials, affecting energy conversion efficiency.
A catalyst is loaded onto the surface of a current collector using an ion implantation method. By implanting metal ions into the support material, single-atom or few-atom clusters are formed, which improves the specific surface area and uniformity of the catalyst and reduces the overpotential.
With a low noble metal loading, the catalyst exhibits excellent electrocatalytic performance, can reduce overpotential and improve energy conversion efficiency, and is suitable for large-scale batch production and industrial applications.

Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of electrochemical hydrogen production, and particularly relates to a method for loading a catalyst by ion implantation, a prepared catalyst and application. BACKGROUND
[0002] The global demand for energy is increasing, and the environmental problems caused by the burning of fossil energy are becoming increasingly serious. It is urgent to develop renewable clean energy. Hydrogen has the advantages of high energy density (143 MJ / kg) and zero carbon emission when burned, and is considered to be the best substitute for traditional fossil energy. At present, using renewable energy such as solar energy and wind energy to electrolyze water to produce hydrogen is an effective means to convert renewable energy into green hydrogen energy. The water electrolysis hydrogen production technology has the advantages of near-zero emission and high product purity (up to 99.9%), and is the most potential clean hydrogen production technology. It is considered to be an effective solution to the energy crisis and environmental pollution problems. However, due to the complex multiple proton coupling and multiple electron transfer process involved in the cathode hydrogen evolution reaction and the anode oxygen evolution reaction in the process of water electrolysis hydrogen production, a higher cathode and anode polarization overpotential is required, which causes the actual operating voltage of the commercial electrolytic cell to be much higher than the theoretical value (1.23 V), resulting in low electrolysis efficiency and high energy consumption. It is not economical for large-scale hydrogen production. How to improve the energy conversion efficiency and reduce the power consumption has become a "bottleneck" problem to be solved. The electrocatalyst is the key to reducing the overpotential and improving the energy conversion efficiency. By selecting appropriate electrocatalysts, the kinetics of various reactions can be controlled, and the overpotential can be reduced. The most effective oxygen evolution and hydrogen evolution reaction catalysts currently recognized are Ir / Ru-based catalysts and Pt-based catalysts. At present, how to load the catalyst on the current collector mainly has the following methods: impregnation-liquid phase reduction method, colloidal method, electrochemical method or gas phase deposition method. However, the catalyst prepared by the existing method has a high noble metal loading amount, and the noble metal reserves are small and expensive, thereby limiting the large-scale application of the catalyst.
[0003] Therefore, how to make the catalyst have excellent catalytic performance under the condition of low noble metal loading or using non-noble transition metals has become a problem in the prior art. SUMMARY
[0004] The purpose of the present application is to provide a method for loading a catalyst by ion implantation, a prepared catalyst and application. The catalyst prepared by the method provided by the present application still has excellent catalytic performance when the metal loading amount is low.
[0005] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose of the application, the present application provides the following technical solutions:
[0006] The present application provides a method for loading a catalyst by ion implantation, comprising the following steps:
[0007] carrying out metal ion implantation on the surface of the current collector to obtain a catalyst;
[0008] Or: (1) mixing the carrier material with a solvent and a binder to obtain a mixed slurry; the carrier material comprises at least one of graphene, a metal chalcogenide, a carbon nanotube and a graphyne;
[0009] (2) coating the mixed slurry obtained in step (1) onto a current collector to obtain a current collector loaded with a carrier material;
[0010] (3) carrying out metal ion implantation on the surface of the current collector loaded with the carrier material obtained in step (2) to obtain a catalyst.
[0011] Preferably, in step (1), the mass of the carrier material, the volume of the solvent and the volume of the binder are in a ratio of 1 mg:(180-220) μL:(10-20) μL.
[0012] Preferably, in step (2), the mass of the carrier material in the current collector loaded with the carrier material is in a ratio of (0.5-1.5) mg:1 cm 2 .
[0013] Preferably, in step (2), the current collector comprises one of carbon paper, carbon cloth, foamed copper and foamed nickel.
[0014] Preferably, in step (3), the metal ions comprise at least one of iron ions, cobalt ions, nickel ions, copper ions, gold ions, molybdenum ions, platinum ions, ruthenium ions, aluminum ions, niobium ions, rhodium ions, iridium ions, palladium ions, silver ions, titanium ions, zinc ions, chromium ions and manganese ions.
[0015] Preferably, in step (3), the implantation dose of the metal ions is 1×10 15 -5×10 17 ions·cm -2 .
[0016] Preferably, in step (3), the energy of the low-energy ion beam during implantation of the metal ions is 5-100 keV.
[0017] Preferably, in step (3), the implantation of the metal ions is carried out under vacuum conditions.
[0018] The present application also provides a catalyst prepared by the method of ion implantation and loading of the catalyst according to the above technical solution.
[0019] The present application also provides the use of the catalyst according to the above technical solution in the electrolysis of water to produce hydrogen.
[0020] The application provides a method for loading a catalyst by ion implantation, comprising the following steps: performing metal ion implantation on the surface of a current collector to obtain a catalyst; or: (1) mixing a carrier material, a solvent and a binder to obtain a mixed slurry; the carrier material comprises at least one of graphene, a metal chalcogenide, a carbon nanotube and a graphdiyne; (2) coating the mixed slurry obtained in the step (1) on a current collector to obtain a current collector loaded with the carrier material; (3) performing metal ion implantation on the surface of the current collector loaded with the carrier material obtained in the step (2) to obtain a catalyst. The application performs metal ion implantation on the surface of a current collector or the surface of a current collector loaded with a carrier material, which brings two different effects, including an energy effect and a mass effect. The energy effect refers to that the metal ion implantation can introduce defect sites and the like on the current collector or the carrier material, thereby assisting catalysis or assisting anchoring of the implanted ions; the mass effect refers to that the catalyst atoms are introduced on the current collector or the carrier material by the metal ion implantation, and the loaded catalyst exists in the form of a single atom or a few-atom cluster. The method can reduce the catalyst loading amount while increasing the specific surface area of the catalyst, so as to reduce the overpotential and improve the catalytic performance. Meanwhile, the method is a universal catalyst loading method. Since the uniformity of ion implantation can realize the uniformity of catalyst loading, the method can realize large-scale batch production of the catalyst, and is conducive to industrial application. The scale degree depends on the structure of the implantation machine. The results of the embodiments show that the catalyst prepared by the application can achieve the overpotential of 20wt% commercial Pt / C when the loading amount of the catalyst is 5wt%.

The present application limits the ratio of the mass of the carrier material in the carrier material-loaded current collector to the surface area of the current collector to the above range, which is more conducive to the subsequent loading of metal ions on the carrier and more conducive to the performance comparison with other loaded catalysts.
[0083] The present application does not have special limitations on the coating operation, and any coating technical solution known to those skilled in the art can be used as long as the ratio of the mass of the carrier material in the carrier material-loaded current collector to the volume of the current collector is within the above range after coating. In the embodiments of the present application, the coating is performed by using a pipette to drop the coating solution.
[0084] After the coating is completed, the present application preferably dries the coated product to obtain a carrier material-loaded current collector.
[0085] In the present application, the drying is preferably vacuum drying; the vacuum degree of the vacuum drying is preferably 0.01 Pa to 1 Pa, more preferably 0.1 Pa; the temperature of the vacuum drying is preferably 60 to 80°C, more preferably 70°C; and the time of the vacuum drying is preferably 8 to 12 h, more preferably 10 h.
[0086] After the carrier material-loaded current collector is obtained, the present application performs metal ion implantation on the surface of the carrier material-loaded current collector to obtain a catalyst.
[0087] In the present application, the metal ions preferably include at least one of iron ions, cobalt ions, nickel ions, copper ions, gold ions, molybdenum ions, platinum ions, ruthenium ions, aluminum ions, niobium ions, rhodium ions, iridium ions, palladium ions, silver ions, titanium ions, zinc ions, chromium ions, and manganese ions. In the present application, the metal ions serve as a catalyst.
[0088] In the present application, the implantation dose of the metal ions is preferably 1 x 10 15 to 5 x 10 17 ions·cm -2 , more preferably 3 x 10 16 to 2.5 x 10 17 ions·cm -2 .

[0093] In the present application, the metal ion implantation is preferably performed in an ion implanter. The present application does not have a special limitation on the type of the ion implanter, and any ion implanter known to those skilled in the art can be used.

In the present application, the ion source of the ion implanter generates plasma directly from solid materials through metal vapor vacuum arc discharge, and then the metal ions are extracted through an extractor and a mass selector, and a high-current-density ion beam is obtained through acceleration.
[0094] In the present application, the target source of the ion implanter excites and extracts metal ions, and when the metal ions are loaded onto the carrier, they are referred to as catalyst atoms. This is because in the current field of electrocatalysis, single-atom catalysis is a new concept proposed, which specifically refers to the monodisperse state of the catalyst on the carrier. Because the catalyst is adsorbed on the carrier, there will be more or less charge transfer and charge interaction, showing metal bonds and / or covalent bonds, and not an independent state. Even the catalyst atoms will interact with each other to form small atomic clusters.
[0095] The process schematic diagram for preparing the catalyst and for electrochemical decomposition of water by using the method of the present application is preferably as shown in Figure 1 From Figure 1 it can be seen that the carrier material is coated onto the current collector, and then the metal ion implantation is performed on the surface of the carrier material to obtain the catalyst, which can be used for electrochemical decomposition of water.
[0096] The present application performs metal ion implantation on the surface of the current collector or the current collector of the support carrier material, which brings two different effects, including energy effect and mass effect, the energy effect refers to that the metal ion implantation can introduce defect sites on the current collector or the carrier, which assists catalysis or anchors the implanted ions; the mass effect refers to that the catalyst atoms are introduced on the current collector or the carrier by means of metal ion implantation, the metal ions are implanted on the surface of the current collector or the carrier, and in the process of electrocatalytic decomposition of water, the metal ions continuously adsorb and desorb reaction intermediates, promote charge transmission and transfer, thereby effectively reducing the overpotential of the water oxidation-reduction reaction, controlling the preparation process, so that the loaded catalyst is a single atom or a few atom clusters, and a larger specific surface area is provided under the premise of less catalyst loading to reduce the overpotential and improve the catalytic performance.
[0097] The present application also provides a catalyst prepared by the method of ion implantation loading catalyst according to the above technical solution.
[0098] The catalyst prepared by the present application still has excellent catalytic performance when the loading amount of metal ions is low.
[0099] The present application also provides the application of the catalyst according to the above technical solution in electrolytic water hydrogen production.
[0100] The application of the present application is not specially limited, and the technical solution of the application known to those skilled in the art can be used.
[0101] The technical solutions in the present application will be described clearly and completely in combination with the embodiments in the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor belong to the protection scope of the present application.

[0138] Application Example
[0139] The catalysts prepared in Examples 1-9 and commercial Pt / C are used for electrochemical decomposition of water to produce hydrogen, using a three-electrode system, wherein the catalysts prepared in Examples 1-9 and the commercial Pt / C are working electrodes, the counter electrode is a platinum sheet electrode, the reference electrode is Ag / AgCl immersed in saturated KCl solution, and the electrolyte is 1 mol / L KOH, LSV and CV measurements are performed in the potential range of-0.9-0.2 V relative to the standard hydrogen electrode, and the scan rates are 5 and 100 mV / s, respectively. The alternating current impedance measurement is performed under the same configuration, at a potential of 10 mA / cm 2 . -1 5
[0140] The catalysts prepared in Examples 1-9 and the commercial Pt / C are used for hydrogen evolution reaction in the reduction reaction of electrolytic water, and sweep CV (cyclic voltammogram), LSV (linear voltammogram), EIS (electrochemical impedance spectrum), C dl double-layer capacitance, and the fitted Tafel slope, etc. are performed, wherein CV is for a sufficient activation of the sample, LSV is for the overpotential at a certain current value, and 10 mA·cm -2 The overpotential is compared with the value of the overpotential at the time, and during the actual electrolysis cell reaction, the actual potential of the cathode is lower than the theoretical potential, and the actual potential of the anode is higher than the theoretical potential. The voltage value is called overpotential, and the loss comes from electrochemical polarization and concentration difference polarization; the Tafel slope is usually fitted from the LSV curve, which is used to describe the relationship between the potential and the current density. The value of the Tafel slope represents the change of the potential when the current increases or decreases by 10 times. The smaller the value is, the faster the reaction kinetics of water electrolysis OER or HER is, and the better the catalytic activity is; EIS is used to characterize the impedance characteristics of the catalyst in various aspects through the change relationship between the alternating current impedance and the frequency. From the electrochemical impedance spectrum, the solution resistance (R s ) and the charge transfer resistance (R ct ) in the HER or OER process can be obtained, so as to analyze the electrochemical performance of the catalyst. The intercept of the front end of the semicircle with the X axis represents R s , which can be used to correct the polarization curve and compensate for the voltage loss caused by the solution resistance. The radius of the semicircle represents R ct , and the smaller the value is, the stronger the electron transport ability of the catalyst is, and the faster the kinetics process is; the electrochemical active area is the effective area participating in the electrochemical reaction. Generally, the electrode reaction includes a Faraday process and a non-Faraday process. The Faraday process is a process in which oxidation and reduction reactions occur on the electrode and charge transfer between the electrode and the solution interface. The non-Faraday process does not have oxidation and reduction reactions, and is due to the adsorption or desorption process and the charging and discharging of the double-layer at the electrode and solution interface, and causes current flow. The study of electrochemical active area (ECSA) is based on the principle of electrochemical double-layer capacitance (C dl ) in the non-Faraday process, and the ECSA is proportional to C dl , which can be compared by the C dl value of the catalyst. The cyclic voltammetry (CV) test is carried out at different scan rates with 0.1 V as the voltage window, and then the straight line of the relationship between the scan rate and the current density is fitted, and the slope of the straight line is C dl .
[0141] The LSV, Tafel, EIS and C dl curves of the catalyst prepared in Example 1 and the commercial Pt / C catalyst in the electrochemical decomposition of water hydrogen evolution reaction are shown in Figures 2-5 , respectively. The Pt content of the catalyst prepared in Example 1 is 5wt% by inductively coupled plasma emission spectrometer (ICP) test result, and the Pt content of the commercial Pt / C catalyst is 20wt%. It can be seen from Figures 2-5 that the dosage of platinum ion implantation is 2.5x10 17 ions·cm-2 Its catalytic performance is superior to that of commercial Pt / C, reflecting its lower overpotential and representing its excellent catalytic performance. Meanwhile, its Tafel slope value (46.85 mV dec) is also superior. -1 (lower than commercial Pt / C (47.24mV dec)) -1 The smaller radius of the EIS impedance spectrum compared to commercial Pt / C reflects its rapid reaction kinetics. Its C... dl The value (249.95mF / cm) 2 The ratio is greater than that of commercial Pt / C (235.6 mF / cm). 2 This reflects its larger electrochemical active area.
[0142] The X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) spectrum of the catalyst prepared in Example 1 is as follows: Figure 6 As shown, for Figure 6 The X-ray photoelectron spectrum of Pt peaks is shown in the figure after spectral decomposition. Figure 7 As shown. From Figures 6-7 The data shows the content and valence state of Pt. Zero-valence Pt is almost nonexistent, while divalent Pt is abundant. Pt may be associated with S. 2- After bonding, it exhibits a +2 valence.
[0143] The L3-side X-ray absorption near-side structure spectrum (XANES) of Pt in the catalyst prepared in Example 1 is as follows: Figure 8 As shown, through Figure 8 The peak value before the middle edge indicates that the valence state of the platinum single atom (Pt-SA) is between 0 and 4. Figure 8 Perform a transformation in R space to obtain Figure 9 . Figure 9 The structure fitting results show that Pt in the intermediate valence state between 0 and 4 exists in the form of Pt-S bonds. At the same time, no obvious Pt-Pt bonds appear in the R space transformation of the sample Pt-SA-MoS2, which further illustrates the single-atom existence of Pt. Figure 8 Wavelet transform diagram as shown Figure 10 As shown. Figure 10 By displaying the coordinate bond lengths, the types of coordinating atoms can be visually identified. From Figures 8-10 As can be seen from the data, after Pt was injected using molybdenum disulfide as a support, no obvious Pt-Pt bonds were observed in the synchrotron radiation spectrum, but obvious Pt-S bonds were observed. This indicates that the catalyst exists in the form of single atoms or few atoms in clusters, which has a larger specific surface area and thus higher catalytic activity.
[0144] Aberration-corrected high-resolution transmission electron microscope image of the catalyst prepared in Example 1 is shown below. Figure 11 As shown, throughFigure 11 The brightness of the middle atoms reveals the single-atom existence of Pt. The elemental EDS mapping diagram of the catalyst prepared in Example 1 is shown below. Figure 12 As shown. From Figure 12 As can be seen, Pt, S, and Mo elements are uniformly distributed in the catalyst.
[0145] The LSV and Tafel curves of the electrochemical water splitting and hydrogen evolution reaction of the catalysts prepared in Examples 2-4 are shown below. Figures 13-14 As shown. From Figures 13-14 It can be seen that ion implantation of electrocatalyst metal ions is a universal method, and different supports and implanted ions can be selected, resulting in various combinations. The Tafel slope values are as follows: Example 2 (1 mg Gr-5.0 Pt) is 100.43 mV dec. -1 Example 3 (1 mg MoS2-5.0 Fe) had a dec V of 105.17 mV. -1 Example 3 (1 mg CNT-3E16Ni) had a dec V of 390.02 mV. -1 The catalyst with the best catalytic performance is still the one infused with Pt.
[0146] The LSV and Tafel curves of the electrochemical water splitting and hydrogen evolution reaction of the catalysts prepared in Examples 1 and 2 are shown below. Figures 15-16 As shown. From Figures 15-16 As can be seen, the Tafel slope values are as follows: Example 1 (1 mg MoS2-5.0 Pt) is 46.85 mV dec. -1 Example 2 (1 mg Gr-5.0 Pt) had a dec of 100.43 mV. -1 With the same implanted ion Pt and the same implantation dose of 2.5 × 10⁻⁶, 17 ions·cm -2 The performance of MoS2 as a support is better than that of graphene as a support. The main reason is that graphene can provide good conductivity but is catalytically inert. The sulfur atom vacancies and edges of MoS2 itself can play a good catalytic role. Although defect sites are introduced to anchor Pt single atoms during the implantation process, the defects generated can also improve the catalytic activity of MoS2 itself.
[0147] The catalysts prepared in Examples 5-6 for the electrochemical water splitting and hydrogen evolution reaction LSV, Tafel, EIS, and C dl The curves are respectively as follows Figures 17-20 As shown. From Figures 17-20 It can be seen that the Tafel slope values are as follows: Example 5 (NF-1mgCNT-3E16Pt) is 69.63mV dec -1Example 6 (NF-1mgCNT-3E16Mo) had a dec rate of 35.86 mV. -1 C dl The values were as follows: Example 5 (NF-1 mg CNT-3 E16 Pt) was 460.9 mF / cm. 2
[0148] Example 6 (NF-1 mg CNT-3E16Mo) had a concentration of 296.87 mF / cm³. 2 Implanting ions onto nickel foam coated with 1 mg CNTs resulted in optimal catalytic performance with minimal dosage of Mo ions. The lowest Tafel slope also confirmed faster reaction kinetics than commercial Pt / C. The Ni-Mo alloy promotes the HER reaction, and the electron cloud density of the metallic bond formed by their electronic structures is favorable for the adsorption and desorption of hydrogen ions.
[0149] The catalysts prepared in Examples 7-9 for the electrochemical water splitting and oxygen evolution reaction LSV, Tafel, EIS, and C dl The curves are respectively as follows Figures 21-24 As shown. From Figures 21-24 It can be seen that the Tafel slope values are as follows: Example 7 (NF-1mgCNT-1E17Fe) is 56.45mV dec -1 Example 8 (NF-1mgCNT-1E17Mo) had a dec rate of 80.21 mV. -1 Example 9 (NF-1mgCNT-2.5E17Fe) had a dec V of 46.57 mV. -1 C dl The values were as follows: Example 7 (NF-1 mg CNT-1 E17 Fe) was 137.5 mF / cm. 2 Example 8 (NF-1 mg CNT-1 E17 Mo) had a concentration of 157.93 mF / cm³. 2 Example 9 (NF-1 mg CNT-2.5E17Fe) had a concentration of 264.33 mF / cm³. 2 Inject 2.5×10 17 ions·cm -2 Fe ions have the greatest promoting effect on the OER reaction, and Ni-Fe alloys promote the OER reaction, with a 10 mA·cm⁻¹ concentration. -2 The overpotential at this point is 254 mV, which is better than that of RuO2 (270 mV). In addition, its smallest Tafel slope reflects its fastest reaction kinetics, its smallest EIS radius reflects its smallest charge transfer resistance, and its largest double-layer capacitance reflects its largest electrochemical active area, representing the largest number of active sites.
