Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of hydrogen production from air, and in particular to a hydrogen production cathode material based on a metal organic framework, a proton membrane electrolysis hydrogen production system and a method. Background Art

[0002] In the context of global energy structure transformation and climate change response, finding clean and renewable energy to replace fossil fuels has become an important strategic goal for all countries. As an efficient and clean energy carrier, hydrogen energy shows great application potential. However, traditional hydrogen production methods, such as fossil fuel reforming and water electrolysis, still face many limitations.

[0003] Existing hydrogen production technologies mainly include water electrolysis, fossil fuel recombination and biohydrogen production. Although water electrolysis is a common method at present, it has the problems of high energy consumption and high cost, and has high requirements for electrode materials, and is also limited by the availability of fresh water resources. Fossil fuel recombination will produce a large amount of carbon dioxide, which is not in line with the development direction of a low-carbon economy, and is highly dependent on fossil fuels. Biohydrogen production technology is not mature enough, the hydrogen output is low, and it is difficult to achieve large-scale production. Summary of the invention

[0004] The present invention provides a hydrogen production cathode material based on a metal organic framework, a preparation method, a proton membrane electrolysis hydrogen production system and a hydrogen production method, the purpose of which is to overcome the shortcomings of existing hydrogen production technologies.

[0005] To achieve the above object, the technical solution of one aspect of the present invention is:

[0006] A hydrogen production cathode material based on a metal organic framework comprises a platinum substrate, the surface of the platinum substrate is coated with a MOF layer, the MOF layer is used to absorb water vapor from the air, achieve continuous water supply, and realize surface in-situ hydrogen production during proton membrane electrolysis hydrogen production.

[0007] In some preferred embodiments, a hydrogen-producing cathode material based on a metal organic framework, wherein the MOF material is one of MOF-303, CAU-10-H, Ni2Cl2 (BTDD), and MOF-801.

[0008] In some preferred embodiments, the MOF material is mixed with 0.5-20 wt % PVA solution for coating.

[0009] In some preferred embodiments, the mass ratio of the MOF material to the PVA solution is 1:100 to 1:10.

[0010] Another aspect of the present invention is a method for preparing a hydrogen production cathode material based on a metal organic framework, comprising the following steps:

[0011] The MOF material is mixed with a 0.5-20 wt % PVA solution at a mass ratio of 1:100 to 1:10 to prepare a MOF-PVA mixed solution;

[0012] Immersing the platinum substrate in the MOF-PVA mixed solution for coating;

[0013] The coated platinum substrate is dried to form a MOF coating, thereby obtaining the hydrogen production cathode material.

[0014] The technical solution of another aspect of the present invention is a proton membrane electrolysis hydrogen production system based on a metal organic framework, comprising a power device, a cathode material, an anode material, a proton exchange membrane, an electrolyte, and an electrolyzer; wherein:

[0015] The cathode material is the cathode material prepared as above;

[0016] The anode material is a platinum electrode;

[0017] The proton exchange membrane is located between the cathode and the anode, and is used to conduct electricity and isolate oxygen and hydrogen in the electrolysis reaction;

[0018] The electrolyte is selected from one of KOH solution, NaOH solution or concentrated sulfuric acid;

[0019] The electrolytic cell is made of materials that do not react with strong acids or bases.

[0020] In some preferred embodiments, the electrolytic cell is selected from one of polypropylene, polypropylene homopolymer, and polyethylene.

[0021] In some preferred embodiments, the power device is a solar power device, a wind power device or a tidal power device.

[0022] In some preferred embodiments, the proton exchange membrane completely separates the electrolyte, and there are multiple electrolyzers that operate in parallel to produce hydrogen by electrolysis.

[0023] Another aspect of the present invention is a method for producing hydrogen using a proton membrane electrolysis hydrogen production system based on a metal organic framework, comprising the following steps:

[0024] Place the above proton membrane electrolysis hydrogen production system under the power supply of the power device and start the electrolyzer;

[0025] Absorbing water vapor from the air through the MOF layer of the cathode material and providing it to the electrolysis process;

[0026] The cathode material and the anode material in the electrolytic cell undergo an electrolytic reaction, so that an oxidation reaction occurs on the surface of the anode material to produce oxygen, and a reduction reaction occurs on the surface of the cathode material to produce hydrogen;

[0027] The proton exchange membrane is used to conduct H+, so that the cathode and anode reactions are effectively separated.

[0028] The beneficial effects achieved by the present invention are:

[0029] The present invention optimizes the coating thickness and water vapor adsorption performance of the cathode material by combining different MOF materials with PVA solutions. The hydrogen-producing cathode material can capture water vapor directly from the air and use renewable energy for electrolysis, thus successfully achieving sustainable production of hydrogen. The air hydrogen production technology not only breaks through the dependence on fresh water resources, but also makes full use of renewable energy such as solar energy and wind energy to achieve green and low-carbon hydrogen production goals, and has less impact on the environment, which is conducive to promoting the sustainable development of the hydrogen energy industry.

[0030] By optimizing the application of MOF materials, the cathode material of the present invention can effectively adsorb water vapor in a wide humidity range (10%-100% RH), ensuring the continuous hydrogen production of the system under different environments. The concentration adjustment of the PVA solution plays a key role: a lower concentration of PVA solution is suitable for a dry environment, forming a thin but stable coating, while a higher concentration of PVA solution is suitable for humid conditions, forming a thicker coating, enhancing the durability and stability of the material in a high humidity environment. In addition, the MOF material has good thermal stability and chemical stability, which ensures the hydrogen production efficiency of the cathode material in long-term operation and ensures the high durability of the system.

[0031] On this basis, the proton membrane electrolysis hydrogen production system based on metal organic framework cathode materials proposed in the present invention realizes the continuous and environmentally friendly production of hydrogen by directly capturing fresh water from the air and combining it with the use of renewable energy (such as light energy and wind energy). This system effectively solves the problem of existing water electrolysis hydrogen production technology's dependence on fresh water resources, while avoiding the defect of producing a large amount of carbon dioxide by the recombination of fossil fuels, and overcomes the limitations of low output and difficulty in scale of biohydrogen production technology, demonstrating an efficient, environmentally friendly, and low-cost hydrogen production model, which is widely applicable to the hydrogen energy industry.

[0032] In addition, the electrolyzers in the system are configured with multiple parallel cells. By adjusting the working status of these electrolyzers, the hydrogen production can be optimized and regulated to adapt to different power supply conditions and hydrogen demand, further improving the flexibility and applicability of the system. This configuration and high adsorption capacity (2g g -1 h -1 ,H2 / MOF) combined with MOF materials, significantly increased the hydrogen production, which is particularly suitable for industrial hydrogen production needs.

[0033] By combining with renewable energy sources such as solar energy, wind energy, and tidal energy, the system improves energy utilization and meets green and low-carbon environmental protection requirements. The system uses a proton exchange membrane to ensure that hydroxide ions generate oxygen in the anode catalyst layer and hydrogen ions are reduced to generate hydrogen on the cathode surface. The hygroscopic properties of MOF materials ensure a continuous supply of water, allowing the system to operate stably under different environmental conditions. In addition, the hydrogen production system is designed for miniaturized, distributed energy systems, especially for remote areas or mobile application scenarios, providing a clean and sustainable energy solution.
