Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of chemical engineering, and specifically relates to a nano-flower-like Ni-Fe-OS / NF catalyst and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] The continued use of traditional fossil fuels has led to increasingly serious environmental pollution and energy shortages. Finding an environmentally friendly and sustainable energy source to gradually replace traditional fossil fuels has become a major focus of attention. Hydrogen energy, with its high energy density, environmental friendliness, and renewability, is considered one of the most ideal energy sources for the future. Among various hydrogen production technologies, water electrolysis can rapidly and with zero pollution produce high-purity hydrogen, making it a green hydrogen production technology. However, the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) processes involved in water electrolysis involve multiple electron transfer steps, leading to an increased energy barrier and high overpotential. To accelerate the reaction process and reduce the overpotential, catalysts are usually introduced. Noble metal-based materials (such as Pt-, Ru / Ir-, etc.) are a class of highly efficient electrochemical catalysts widely used in the field of water electrolysis for hydrogen production. However, noble metal catalysts generally exhibit only single HER or OER activity, and their reserves are scarce and unevenly distributed geographically, failing to meet the needs of large-scale industrial applications. Developing bifunctional electrocatalysts can simplify electrode material preparation processes, reduce costs, and play a positive and important role in optimizing electrolyzer structures. Therefore, it is of great significance to develop inexpensive and highly active bifunctional electrocatalytic materials.
[0003] In the research of non-precious metal electrocatalysts, nickel-based sulfide catalysts have attracted significant attention due to their diverse chemical compositions and tunable electronic environments. However, nickel-based sulfide catalysts generally exhibit poor single HER or OER catalytic activity. Introducing other HER and OER catalytically active substances into nickel-based sulfides to form heterogeneous catalysts can activate active sites and thus enhance HER and OER activity, representing one of the most direct and effective approaches to achieving bifunctional catalytic activity.
[0004] Most bifunctional electrocatalysts are currently constructed through stepwise assembly. This method is not only cumbersome in its preparation, but also risks introducing materials that may obscure the catalyst's active sites, leading to a significant reduction in final catalyst activity. For example, patent CN113584521A discloses a branch-shaped heterostructure bifunctional electrocatalyst constructed through stepwise assembly. First, NiMoO4 nanorods are synthesized on a nickel foam substrate, followed by phosphating to form NiMo-P nanorods. Then, CoFe-LDH nanosheets are deposited on the NiMo-P nanorods using electrodeposition. This three-step process forms a multi-component bifunctional electrocatalyst. The resulting NiMo-P@CoFe-LDH electrocatalyst exhibits certain electrocatalytic activity and stability. However, the complex preparation process and stepwise assembly technique prevent the catalyst from achieving its full catalytic efficiency.
[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to develop a holistic construction strategy for the direct synthesis of heterogeneous catalytic materials with differences in HER and OER activities. Numerous studies have shown that NiS2 and FeNi2S4 possess good HER catalytic activity. Meanwhile, NiS and NiO, as active species for OER, have also attracted widespread attention. Patent publication CN 110918103 A discloses a three-phase NiS-NiS2-Ni3S4 electrocatalyst, characterized by an independent NiS-NiS2-Ni3S4 composed of a three-phase nickel sulfide outer layer and a three-phase nickel sulfide inner layer. This constructed nickel sulfide composite electrocatalyst exposes abundant active sites, improves interfacial electron transport, and promotes the hydrogen evolution reaction. However, the HER activity of this simply combined three-phase NiS-NiS2-Ni3S4 catalyst remains unsatisfactory, and researchers have not further explored the oxygen evolution reaction.
[0006] Therefore, it is of great significance to develop an overall preparation strategy to directly generate nickel-based sulfide heterogeneous electrocatalysts with HER and OER activities through rational design, and to utilize the synergistic effect between different components and the improved electronic environment to achieve highly efficient bifunctional catalytic activity of the catalyst. Summary of the Invention
[0007] The main technical problem solved by this invention is to provide a nano-flower-like Ni-Fe-OS / NF catalyst and its preparation method.
[0008] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this invention provides a method for preparing a nano-flower-like Ni-Fe-OS / NF catalyst, comprising the following steps:
[0009] 1) Clean NF is obtained by washing and drying the nickel foam (NF) using conventional washing and drying methods;

[0047] Note: NF cut to 2×3cm 2 size.
[0048] The present invention also provides a nano-flower cluster-shaped Ni-Fe-OS / NF catalyst prepared by any of the above methods.
[0049] This invention relates to a nano-flower-like Ni-Fe-OS / NF electrode material prepared using a ZIF-67 / NF derivatization strategy. This highly active bifunctional electrocatalyst primarily involves transition metals such as Ni, Fe, S, and O. The Ni-Fe-OS / NF of this invention is produced by etching ZIF-67 while simultaneously growing it directly in situ on a conductive nickel foam substrate.
[0050] The nanosheet-like Ni-Fe-OS / NF catalyst of this invention (for high-efficiency total water splitting multiphase nanosheet-like Ni-Fe-OS / NF catalyst) mainly overcomes the problems of single catalytic activity, few active sites, and poor stability in existing technologies. More importantly, it avoids the masking of active sites and poor conductivity caused by the coating step, and also solves the problem of active site destruction caused by stepwise synthesis in the conventional preparation of bifunctional catalysts. The preparation method of this invention is ingenious, simple, and effective in promoting the in-situ growth of the multiphase catalyst on a conductive substrate (nickel foam), enhancing the catalyst's conductivity; at the same time, it directly generates a multiphase electrocatalytic material with both HER and OER activities, producing a synergistic effect and effectively activating the catalyst's active sites. In addition, the in-situ growth of the multiphase Ni-Fe-OS / NF catalyst in this invention, coupled with the synergistic effect of the multiphase, simultaneously regulates the electronic configuration, accelerates electron transfer, and enhances conductivity. The Ni-Fe-OS / NF catalyst exhibits excellent HER and OER activities and total water splitting performance, providing a valuable reference for the preparation of high-efficiency bifunctional electrocatalysts.
[0051] The Ni-Fe-OS / NF catalyst of the present invention, with optimized electronic configuration, exhibits excellent electrochemical activity in alkaline electrolytes, at 10 mA cm⁻¹. -2 At the specified current density, the HER overpotential is only 92mV, and the OER overpotential is as low as 90mV. Furthermore, only a 1.49V full-cell electrolysis voltage is required to achieve a 10mA cm⁻¹. -2 The Ni-Fe-OS / NF catalyst exhibits high current density and stable operation time exceeding 150 hours, significantly optimizing existing Pt / C-IrO2 noble metal electrocatalysts. The excellent water electrolysis catalytic activity of the Ni-Fe-OS / NF catalyst provides a simple and effective synthetic strategy for the preparation of duplex electrocatalysts.
[0052] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0053] (1) This invention employs a ZIF-67 / NF etching-derivative strategy to directly generate a Ni-Fe-OS / NF catalyst with multiphase components and a unique nanosheet flower-like structure. The designed ZIF-67 / NF etching-derivative strategy provides advantageous structural features, making it easier for the catalyst material to grow in situ on NF. Furthermore, the etching and regeneration processes effectively regulate the electronic environment of the catalyst, improving its catalytic activity. In addition, the introduction of Ni and Fe sources during the solvothermal process affects the nickel oxidation process, leading to the promotion of multiphase catalyst generation after the subsequent sulfidation step. The high-temperature pyrolysis of hydroxide causes hydroxyl decomposition, generating a large amount of water vapor, resulting in a porous structure in the nanosheets. Reasonable pyrolysis control yields a beneficial porous nanosheet structure, enhancing electrolyte diffusion and increasing the contact between the catalyst and the electrolyte. In the final high-temperature sulfidation process, through screening and precise control of the sulfidation conditions, not only is the porous morphology of the Ni-Fe-OS / NF catalyst preserved, but multiphase components of NiS2, NiS, FeNi2S4, and NiO are also directly generated. Figure 1 The favorable heterogeneous components and morphological structure of the Ni-Fe-OS / NF catalyst lead to the exposure of abundant active sites and a large electrochemical active area. The overall synthesis strategy of the heterogeneous Ni-Fe-OS / NF catalyst designed in this invention is simple and effective, and suitable for the direct generation of heterogeneous catalysts. By adopting the ZIF-67 / NF derivatization strategy, controlling the relative addition amount of nickel-iron source, and parameters such as pyrolysis temperature and sulfidation conditions, the generation of a heterogeneous nanosheet flower-like Ni-Fe-OS / NF catalyst with high bifunctional catalytic activity was successfully achieved.
[0054] (2) The Ni-Fe-OS / NF catalyst of this invention exhibits excellent bifunctional catalytic activity when applied to the electrolysis of water using 1.0M KOH. The Ni-Fe-OS / NF catalyst only requires OER and HER overpotentials of 90 and 92 mV to reach 10 mA cm⁻¹.-2 The slopes of Taffy are 43 and 95 mV dec, respectively. -1 Furthermore, it can operate stably for over 150 hours without catalyst shedding or significant morphological deformation. When using the Ni-Fe-OS / NF catalyst for complete water splitting tests, it exhibits a low complete water splitting cell voltage of 1.49V at 10 mA cm⁻¹. -2 At the same current density, the stability performance remained stable for 150 hours, maintaining a linear voltage curve with no significant catalyst detachment. Overall, its performance was significantly superior to noble metal-based PtC and IrO2 electrocatalysts.
[0055] In summary, this invention utilizes Ni and Fe etching to grow Ni-Fe LDH / NF on ZIF-67 / NF, followed by pyrolysis under an argon atmosphere to obtain Ni-Fe-O / NF, and finally, inert gas sulfidation treatment to directly synthesize a heterogeneous Ni-Fe-OS / NF catalyst. The advantages of this invention lie in its simple catalyst preparation process, readily available raw materials, and, more importantly, the direct synthesis of a heterogeneous electrocatalyst with a specific porous nanosheet-like cluster structure. Furthermore, the catalyst's electronic environment can be favorablely controlled. In a 1.0 M KOH electrolyte, the Ni-Fe-OS / NF catalyst exhibits excellent HER and OER catalytic activity, as well as overall water splitting catalytic performance. This provides valuable inspiration for the development of directly synthesized heterogeneous, highly active bifunctional electrocatalysts. Attached Figure Description
