Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of water electrolysis for hydrogen production, and in particular to an anode electrode, its preparation method, a membrane electrode, and its application. Background Technology

[0002] Solid polymer anion electrolysis water (AEMWE) hydrogen production technology combines the advantages of traditional alkaline liquid electrolyte water electrolysis and PEM water electrolysis. It allows the use of non-precious metal catalysts such as Ni, Co, and Fe in an alkaline medium, saving on equipment and material costs while achieving high-efficiency hydrogen production. Currently, the performance bottleneck of AEMWE is stability, with electrode stability playing a significant role.

[0003] Spray coating is an important electrode fabrication technology widely used in fuel cells, capacitors, and solar cells. It involves spraying liquid materials (such as paints, catalyst inks, etc.) into a mist form onto a substrate surface using a spray gun or similar tool to form the desired coating or electrode. This method offers advantages such as high efficiency, high automation, and good coating uniformity, making it particularly suitable for large-area, complex-shaped electrodes. Ultrasonic spraying, as an advanced spraying technology, offers advantages in electrode fabrication such as high coating uniformity, high raw material utilization, high precision in coating thickness control, and wide applicability. However, electrodes prepared by these spraying methods still suffer from poor stability, and the catalyst layer is prone to detachment.

[0004] Therefore, it is of great significance to provide a method to improve the stability of AEMWE electrodes. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The technical problem solved by this invention is to provide an anode electrode, which has good stability.

[0006] In view of this, this application provides an anode electrode, comprising an anode electrode substrate, a catalyst layer formed on the surface of the anode electrode substrate, and an ionomer layer formed on the surface of the catalyst layer, wherein the raw materials of the catalyst layer include a non-precious metal catalyst, a solvent, and an ionomer.

[0007] Preferably, in the catalyst layer, the ionomer includes one or more of poly(terphenylfluorenealkylene) PFTA series compounds, Nafion, and poly(diphenylenealkylene) PBPA.

[0008] Preferably, in the catalyst layer, the ionomer is selected from Nafion, PFTA-75, a mixture of PFTA-75 and Nafion in a mass ratio of 1:(1-2), or a mixture of PBTA and Nafion in a mass ratio of 1:(1-2).

[0009] Preferably, in the catalyst layer, the ionomer is selected from a mixture of PFTA-75 and Nafion in a mass ratio of 1:(1-2) or a mixture of PBTA and Nafion in a mass ratio of 1:(1-2).

[0010] Preferably, in the catalyst layer, the solvent is selected from isopropanol and water, the mass ratio of water to isopropanol is 1:(3-10), and the non-precious metal catalyst includes NiFe2O4.

[0011] This application also provides a method for preparing the aforementioned anode electrode, comprising the following steps:

[0012] A catalyst slurry is obtained by mixing a non-precious metal catalyst, a solvent, and an ionomer.

[0013] The solvent and ionomer are mixed to obtain an ionomer slurry;

[0014] The catalyst slurry is formed on the surface of the anode electrode substrate and dried to obtain a catalyst layer.

[0015] The ionomer slurry is formed on the surface of the catalyst layer, dried, and then annealed to obtain the anode electrode.

[0016] Preferably, the solid content of the catalyst slurry is 1.0 to 10.0 wt%.

[0017] Preferably, the catalyst slurry is formed on the surface of the anode electrode substrate by spray gun coating, and the loading of non-precious metal catalyst in the catalyst layer is 1.0–5.0 mg / cm³. 2 .

[0018] This application also provides a membrane electrode, including an anode electrode and a cathode electrode, wherein the anode electrode is the anode electrode described above or the anode electrode prepared by the preparation method described above.

[0019] This application also provides the application of the membrane electrode in hydrogen production by solid polymer anion electrolysis of water.

[0020] This application provides an anode electrode, which comprises an anode electrode substrate, a catalyst layer formed on the surface of the anode electrode substrate, and an ionomer layer formed on the surface of the catalyst layer. The catalyst layer comprises a non-precious metal catalyst, a solvent, and an ionomer. By introducing an ionomer into the catalyst layer of the anode electrode, this application provides a ionomer with good water absorption capacity, which reduces the deformation of the anode electrode and thus improves its stability. At the same time, the anionic groups in the ionomer can also form crosslinks with metal ions, reducing the swelling of the ionomer and stabilizing the anode electrode. Attached Figure Description

[0033] In the anode electrode preparation process, this application first mixes a non-precious metal catalyst, a solvent, and an ionomer to obtain a catalyst slurry. During this process, the mixing is preferably performed ultrasonically to fully break down the agglomerates of the non-precious metal particles and ensure uniform dispersion.
