Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a three-dimensional self-supporting multiphase heterojunction electrocatalyst, a preparation method thereof, and an application thereof, belonging to the technical field of catalytic chemistry. Background Art

[0002] Currently, exploring clean and sustainable energy has become an inevitable necessity. Hydrogen energy is regarded as one of the cleanest energy sources with the greatest development potential in the future due to its environmental friendliness and high energy density, and electrocatalytic water splitting is an effective method for green production of hydrogen fuel. Generally, water splitting consists of two half-reactions, namely the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) at the anode and the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) at the cathode. However, the OER process involves multi-electron transfer, which usually limits the reaction rate. Therefore, it is necessary to design and develop suitable catalysts to improve the reaction rate.

[0003] Transition metal sulfides have become one of the most promising catalysts due to their high content in the earth's crust, low cost, and suitable catalytic efficiency. Among them, molybdenum-based sulfides have attracted wide attention in the field of energy storage and conversion due to their low cost, adjustable structure, and excellent performance. For water electrolysis, molybdenum-based sulfides are considered a promising catalyst due to their low price and rich reserves. However, the OER performance of molybdenum-based sulfides needs to be improved urgently, and single-component catalysts are difficult to meet the requirements of water electrolysis. Therefore, it is crucial to explore and improve the catalytic activity of molybdenum-based sulfides for hydrogen production by water electrolysis. Constructing heterojunctions can synergistically combine the characteristics and advantages of the two components at the interface, significantly changing the inherent catalytic properties of single-component molybdenum-based sulfides, so that the catalyst has unique physical and chemical properties for certain reactions, better optimizing the adsorption / desorption free energy of hydrogen and oxygen intermediates, and improving the energy conversion efficiency. The rich contact interfaces between molybdenum-based sulfides and another component can provide better electron conductivity and higher mechanical stability. The high contact interfaces lead to the formation of more charge and mass transfer channels, enabling good contact between the catalyst and the electrolyte.

[0004] CN113355692A discloses a preparation method of a molybdenum disulfide nanosheet@cobalt sulfide nanoparticle composite electrocatalyst. The preparation method includes: first, hydrothermally growing a Mo-S or Co-Mo-S nanosheet array on the surface of a substrate; then dissolving a cobalt salt in a volatile non-aqueous solvent and coating it on the surface of the Mo-S or Co-Mo-S nanosheet array; finally, placing the sample in an S atmosphere for in-situ deposition of cobalt sulfide nanoparticles. In alkaline, neutral, and acidic electrolytes at room temperature, the overpotential required to reach 10 mA cm -2 The overpotential required is around ~50 mV; for alkaline and acidic electrolytes, to reach 600 mA cm -2The required overpotential is around ~200 mV. This performance is very close to or even exceeds that of commercial Pt particles when operating at a large current density. For OER, in a room-temperature alkaline electrolyte, the overpotentials required to reach 10 mA cm -2 and 100 mA cm -2 are ~220 mV and ~330 mV respectively; however, the molybdenum disulfide nanosheet@cobalt sulfide nanoparticle composite electrocatalyst prepared by this method has fewer active sites, a slow ion transport rate, and a relatively high overpotential.

[0005] CN109019602A discloses a molybdenum carbide material, a molybdenum carbide@molybdenum sulfide composite material, and a preparation method and application thereof. First, a carbon source and a molybdenum source are added to a dispersion liquid and stirred for 6 - 12 h, then dried, ground, and collected at 80 - 120 °C to form a molybdenum carbide precursor; under an inert atmosphere, the molybdenum carbide precursor is heated from room temperature to 400 - 900 °C at a programmed rate and calcined at this temperature for 1 - 3 h, then ground and collected to obtain molybdenum carbide. The molybdenum carbide is sulfided at 160 - 400 °C using a sulfiding agent to obtain molybdenum carbide@molybdenum sulfide. Both the molybdenum carbide and the molybdenum carbide@molybdenum sulfide have a porous nanosheet-like structure morphology. This microstructure is beneficial for electrolyte storage to reduce charge transfer resistance and can also provide more electrocatalytic active sites; both can be used as HER electrocatalysts, with high catalytic activity and good stability, and are expected to replace Pt-based catalysts for electrolytic water hydrogen production. However, stacking during the formation of molybdenum carbide and molybdenum carbide@molybdenum sulfide will lead to a decrease in catalytic performance.
