Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of water electrolysis for hydrogen production, specifically to a MOF material rich in coordination defects, its preparation method, and its applications. Background Technology

[0002] Hydrogen energy is a secondary clean energy source with advantages such as being green and environmentally friendly, and having abundant raw material sources, making it a promising candidate for widespread application. Currently, industrial hydrogen production primarily relies on high-temperature methane cracking (where methane decomposes into carbon and hydrogen at high temperatures). This method is not only energy-intensive but also produces polluting gases such as carbon dioxide, severely limiting the application of hydrogen energy. Water electrolysis, on the other hand, is a method that generates hydrogen and oxygen through the electrolysis of water. This method can utilize renewable energy sources (first converting renewable energy into electricity, then using it for water electrolysis) and has a brighter future compared to high-temperature methane cracking.

[0003] The water electrolysis for hydrogen production (OWS) reaction comprises two half-reactions: the cathode hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and the anode oxygen evolution reaction (OER). The OER reaction involves a four-electron transfer process (compared to the HER reaction which involves only a two-electron transfer), resulting in slow kinetics and being a key factor limiting the efficiency of water electrolysis. Therefore, a catalyst is needed to promote the oxygen evolution reaction. Currently, commonly used OER catalysts are mainly noble metal catalysts (e.g., platinum, iridium). These catalysts have high catalytic activity, but the scarcity and high cost of noble metals keep the cost of water electrolysis for hydrogen production high. MOF materials are materials with a periodic network structure assembled from a metal source and organic ligands, offering advantages such as abundant resources and low cost. During the OER reaction, MOF materials are converted into metal hydroxyl oxides, which, as the true active sites for the OER reaction, can promote it. Therefore, MOF materials hold promise as a replacement for noble metal catalysts. However, existing MOF materials exhibit low catalytic activity and poor stability, making it difficult to fully meet the requirements of practical applications.

[0004] Therefore, developing a MOF material with high catalytic activity and good stability is of great significance. Summary of the Invention

[0079] Electrochemical performance testing:

[0080] 1) The MOF material (NiCo NDC-Fc) rich in coordination defects from Examples 1-5 0.67 / NF, NiCo NDC-Fc1 / NF, NiCo NDC-Fc 0.43 / NF、NiCo NDC-Fc 0.25 / NF and NiCo NDC-Fc 0.11 / NF, collectively referred to as NiCo NDC-Fc x / NF), MOF material in Comparative Example 1 (NiCo NDC / NF) and MOF material in Comparative Example 2 (NiCo NDC-Cc) 0.67 A three-electrode system was assembled using an Hg / HgO electrode as the working electrode, a carbon rod as the counter electrode, an Hg / HgO electrode as the reference electrode, and a 1.0 mol / L KOH aqueous solution as the electrolyte. Electrochemical tests were then performed, and the resulting LSV curve is shown below. Figure 8 As shown, the overpotential diagram is as follows: Figure 9 As shown, the Tafel slope plot is as follows: Figure 10 As shown, the double-layer capacitance diagram is as follows: Figure 11 As shown, the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy diagram is as follows: Figure 12 As shown.

[0081] Depend on Figure 8 and Figure 9 It can be seen that: NiCo NDC-Fc 0.67 The onset potential of / NF is 1.32V, and it has the lowest overpotential at any current density after the OER reaction occurs; 10mA·cm -2 At that time, NiCo NDC-Fc 0.67 The overpotential of / NF is 220mV, even at 100mA·cm-2 Under high current density, NiCo NDC-Fc 0.67 The overpotential of / NF is only 250mV; NiCo NDC-Fc x The catalytic activity of / NF is significantly higher than that of NiCo NDC / NF; NiCo NDC-Cc 0.67 / NF introduces the defective ligand 1-cyclopentenic acid (Cc), which does not contain Fe element compared with ferrocene ligand. Therefore, by comparing the performance of Fe-defect-free MOF materials and defect-free MOF materials, the Fe-defect-free MOF materials have a smaller overpotential, indicating that the introduction of defects can effectively improve the activity of MOF materials, and the oxygen evolution performance of the materials after introducing Fe-defective ligands is better.

[0082] Depend on Figure 10 It can be seen that: NiCo NDC-Fc 0.67 The slope of the Tafel curve for / NF is 37 mV·dec. -1 The value is much smaller than other materials, indicating that NiCo NDC-Fc 0.67 / NF has faster kinetics and the best catalytic activity for the oxygen evolution reaction (the smaller the Tafel slope, the smaller the change in overpotential with the increase of current density, and the better the electrocatalytic performance).

[0083] Depend on Figure 11 It can be seen that: NiCo NDC-Fc 0.67 / NF has the largest active surface area, exposing more active sites, which means there are more active sites that can participate in the oxygen evolution reaction, making it more conducive to promoting reconstruction in the material and improving oxygen evolution performance.

[0084] Depend on Figure 12 It can be seen that: NiCo NDC-Fc 0.67 / NF has the smallest diameter semicircle, therefore its charge transport resistance is the lowest, resulting in the strongest charge transport capability and better oxygen evolution reaction activity compared to other materials. (Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy uses a small-amplitude AC signal to perturb the electrode and observes how the system follows the perturbation at steady state. A typical impedance spectrum at high frequencies is a semicircle, and the diameter of the semicircle represents the charge transport resistance R at the electrode-solution interface.) ct The smaller the diameter, the more R ct The smaller the value, the stronger the charge transport capacity and the better the catalytic performance of the catalyst.

[0086] Depend on Figure 13 It can be seen that: NiCo NDC-Fc 0.67 / NF at a current density of 60 mA·cm -2 After a long-term test of 100 hours at the corresponding voltage, the current density hardly changed, indicating that NiCo NDC-Fc 0.67 / NF exhibits excellent stability and is suitable for industrial applications.

[0087] 3) The MOF material (NiCo NDC-Fc) rich in coordination defects from Example 1 0.67 A three-electrode system was assembled using NiCo NDC / NF and the MOF material (NiCo NDC / NF) from Comparative Example 1 as the working electrode, a carbon rod as the counter electrode, an Hg / HgO electrode as the reference electrode, and a 1.0 mol / L KOH aqueous solution as the electrolyte. Electrochemical cyclic voltammetry was then performed to obtain the NiCo NDC-NF electrode. 0.67 The CV curve of / NF is as follows Figure 14 As shown, the CV curve of NiCo NDC / NF is as follows. Figure 15 As shown, NiCo NDC-Fc 0.67 The comparison of metal redox peaks of / NF and NiCo NDC / NF is shown in the figure below. Figure 16 As shown.

[0088] Depend on Figures 14-16 It can be seen that by increasing the number of scans in the CV curve of the material, NiCo NDC-Fc was found to be... 0.67 The significantly increased redox peak area of ​​ / NF indicates that more metal sites in the material are oxidized, and that defective NiCo NDC-Fc is incorporated. 0.67 The redox peak area of ​​ / NF is significantly larger than that of NiCo NDC / NF, indicating that NiCo NDC-Fc 0.67 / NF contains more unsaturated metal sites, and further comparison of the CV plots before and after defect doping shows that the oxidation peak of the metal from valence II to valence III shifts negatively after defect doping, indicating that NiCo NDC-Fc 0.67 Unsaturated metal sites in / NF are more easily oxidized.

[0089] In summary, this invention transforms NiCo LDH / NF into NiCo NDC-Fc rich in coordination defects. x / NF, and the ratio of the major ligand (2,6-naphthalenedicarboxylic acid) to the defective ligand (ferroceneic acid) was adjusted to modify NiCo NDC-Fc. x By analyzing the defect content and performance of / NF, a catalyst for the oxygen evolution reaction in water electrolysis with excellent catalytic performance and good stability was finally obtained.
