Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of interface modification, and in particular relates to a metal electrode sheet based on a hydrogel material, and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Hydrogen has attracted extensive attention from the international community due to its advantages such as zero pollution, recyclable production and high combustion rate. Among the many hydrogen production methods, the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) has the advantages of simple equipment, sustainability and environmental protection.

[0003] Existing studies have explained the process of acidic HER. Based on the adsorption behavior of hydrogen intermediates (H*, representing active sites) on a variety of catalysts, the reaction of acidic HER can be accurately explained and predicted. Current studies have shown that the reaction kinetics of HER in alkaline environments are two to three orders of magnitude slower than those in acidic electrolytes. Studies have shown that in acidic HER, H* comes from H in the electrolyte. + , while in alkaline HER, H* comes from water dissociation ( ), and the additional energy barrier introduced by water dissociation is the reason for the slow HER kinetics in alkaline environment.

[0004] Current research suggests that the orientation of water in the double-electron layer EDL and the "network" structure of water are the main factors affecting the catalytic rate. Water "orientation" research suggests that changes in water orientation in the double-electron layer will lead to more energy consumption; water "network" research suggests that water in the double-electron layer forms a water network through hydrogen bonds, and this hydrogen bond network will be disturbed by charge transfer during the HER process. The destruction and reconstruction of the water network during the charge transfer process will lead to more energy consumption.

[0005] Therefore, how to regulate the water orientation and water structure in alkaline HER is a technical problem that needs to be solved at present. Summary of the invention

[0006] Purpose of the invention: The first purpose of the present invention is to provide a metal electrode sheet based on a hydrogel material that can change the water structure on an alkaline hydrogen evolution reaction surface and thereby reduce the reaction energy barrier and the difficulty of the reaction. The second purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for preparing the above-mentioned metal electrode sheet based on a hydrogel material. The third purpose of the present invention is to provide an application of the above-mentioned metal electrode sheet based on a hydrogel material.

[0007] Technical solution: The surface of the metal electrode sheet based on the hydrogel material described in the present invention has an active carboxyl layer, and the active carboxyl layer is loaded with nano hydrogel particles containing amino groups.

The nano-hydrogel particle loading is completed to obtain a metal electrode sheet based on a hydrogel material.

[0013] Furthermore, in step (1), the carboxylation step is:

[0014] (11) placing the metal electrode sheet after surface cleaning in an alcohol solution containing a thiol compound and fully immersing it, then taking it out and rinsing it;

[0015] (12) The rinsed metal electrode sheet is placed in a mixed aqueous solution containing 2-(N-morpholine)ethanesulfonic acid, 1-ethyl-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide hydrochloride and N-hydroxysuccinimide and fully immersed, and then taken out after the end.

[0016] Furthermore, in step (11), the molar concentration of the thiol compound in the alcohol solution is 0.01-0.02 mol / L, and the immersion time is 2-4 h; in step (12), in the mixed aqueous solution, the molar concentration of 2-(N-morpholine)ethanesulfonic acid is 0.001-0.002 mol / L, the molar concentration of 1-ethyl-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide hydrochloride is 0.002-0.003 mol / L, the molar concentration of N-hydroxysuccinimide is 0.005-0.006 mol / L, and the immersion time is 24 h-48 h.

[0017] Furthermore, in step (2), the preparation steps of the dispersion of the nano hydrogel particles containing amino groups are:

[0018] (21) dissolving the active agent and the initiator in an organic solvent and mixing them to obtain an organic phase solution;

[0019] (22) dissolving an ethylenic monomer, allylamine, and a cross-linking agent in water and mixing to obtain an aqueous solution;

[0020] (23) The aqueous phase solution is added to the organic phase solution, ultrasonically dispersed, and deoxygenated after being fully dispersed. The solution is then stirred in a water bath, demulsified, allowed to stand, and centrifuged. The lower precipitate is removed, repeatedly washed, and mixed with a buffer solution to obtain a dispersion of nano-hydrogel particles containing amino groups.

[0021] Furthermore, in step (21), the amount ratio of the active agent, the initiator and the organic solvent is 9.18-10g:24mg:120-200mL, the active agent includes Tween 80 and Span 80, and the initiator is azobisisobutyl cyanide; in step (22), the amount ratio of the polymer monomer, allylamine, the crosslinking agent and water is 0.02-0.025mol:84.2mg:13.8mg:1.5-2mL; the polymer monomer is an olefinic monomer or a combination of an olefinic monomer and a functional monomer for enhancing hydrophobic properties; the crosslinking agent is N,N′-methylenebisacrylamide; in step (23), the parameters of the ultrasonic dispersion are: ultrasonication at below 40°C for 1-2h; the parameters of the water bath stirring are: stirring at 40-50°C for 24-28h; the reagent used for the demulsification treatment is tetrahydrofuran, and the buffer is 0.01-0.02moL / L phosphate buffer.

[0022] Preferably, the polymer monomer is a combination of an olefinic monomer and a functional monomer for enhancing hydrophobic properties, and the molar ratio of the olefinic monomer to the functional monomer for enhancing hydrophobic properties is 1:3.5-4.5.

[0023] More preferably, the olefinic monomer is [2-(methacryloyloxy)ethyl]dimethyl-(3-sulfonic acid propyl)ammonium hydroxide, and the functional monomer is vinyl triethoxysilane or octadecyl methyl vinyl ester.

[0024] Furthermore, in step (3), the conditions of the dehydration condensation reaction are: reacting at 40-50° C. for 24-30 hours.

[0025] The application of the above-mentioned metal electrode sheet based on hydrogel material in the field of alkaline electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution.

[0026] Principle of the invention: The present invention uses hydrogel attachment as a method to regulate the interfacial water configuration, and innovatively connects nano-hydrogel particles to metal electrodes by covalent bonds. Hydrogel is a type of three-dimensional network structure gel that has a strong interaction with water, and its strong interaction with water may cause a huge change in the structure of water molecules. In addition, nano-scale hydrogel particles are attached to the surface of the electrode sheet. Since the nano-hydrogel particles are very small and are just in the double-electron layer EDL region, the orientation of water molecules in the double-electron layer region and the hydrogen bond network structure between water molecules can be effectively changed, thereby affecting the electrocatalytic rate.

[0027] Beneficial effects: Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following significant effects: (1) The preparation process of nano-hydrogel particles is mature and simple, with high raw material utilization and environmental friendliness, and the preparation process will not cause environmental pollution and large-scale emission of harmful substances; (2) The method involved in the present invention has a certain universality, and is not targeted at a specific electrode sheet, but is a universal method for reducing the reaction overpotential and improving the electrocatalytic performance of all hydrogen-evolving metal electrode sheets (such as Pt, Ni, Pd, etc.); (3) The present invention significantly improves the HER performance of the metal electrode sheet and effectively reduces the reaction overpotential.
