Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of energy storage technology, and in particular relates to a method for preparing a diatomic catalyst composite electrode, the diatomic catalyst composite electrode and applications thereof. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, society is in a stage of rapid development, and the consumption of fossil energy is increasing, which has brought serious environmental pollution. This calls for people to make full use of renewable energy. However, due to the intermittent and volatile nature of renewable energy, more than 20% of renewable energy cannot be stored, which has also caused serious damage to the stability of the power grid. This urgently requires large-scale energy storage technology. Among the many energy storage technologies, all-vanadium liquid flow batteries have gradually been applied in the field of large-scale energy storage technology due to their flexible design, high safety, high energy efficiency and low cost potential. However, the cost of the battery stack and vanadium salts limits the commercial use of all-vanadium liquid flow batteries. An effective way is to enable all-vanadium liquid flow batteries to operate at higher current density while maintaining higher energy density to reduce the cost of the battery stack, but the increase in current density will lead to increased battery polarization, resulting in a decrease in battery performance.

[0003] As one of the key components of all-vanadium liquid flow batteries, electrodes are closely related to the activation polarization, ohmic polarization and concentration polarization of batteries. Currently, commonly used electrodes are graphite felt and carbon felt, mainly because they have good conductivity, stability and low cost. However, when operating at higher current density, the lack of sufficiently high specific surface area and hydrophilicity will lead to greater polarization losses. Therefore, it is necessary to modify the electrodes to improve the catalytic activity, hydrophilicity and stability of the electrodes.

[0004] At present, the modification methods of electrodes mainly include surface functionalization, which improves the hydrophilicity of the electrode surface through oxidation, nitridation and other treatments, but anchoring oxygen in a wider voltage window is still a problem; surface structure regulation, which increases the specific surface area of ​​the electrode through etching methods such as KOH and NiO, but this will damage the mechanical properties of the electrode; loading carbon-based catalysts with large specific surface areas such as carbon nanotubes and mesoporous carbon can reduce the activation polarization to a certain extent, but the pore structure is relatively fragile and cannot meet the long-term stable operation of the battery; directly loading metal catalysts, loading metal catalysts such as Pt, Pd, and Ag, although it will improve its electrocatalytic activity to a certain extent, it will produce serious hydrogen evolution side reactions, and loading Bi, Sn, and Pb can play a good role in inhibiting hydrogen evolution, but its electrocatalytic activity is insufficient. In addition, metal catalysts are also limited by particle size, distribution uniformity and structural stability, which will greatly reduce the electrocatalytic activity and stability of metal catalysts. Therefore, how to prepare metal catalysts with high activity, high hydrogen evolution overpotential and high stability has become an urgent problem to be solved today. Summary of the invention

[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present application provides a method for preparing a diatomic catalyst composite electrode, the diatomic catalyst composite electrode and its application. The method uses graphite felt and other materials as a substrate to in-situ load ZIF-8, then performs carbonization treatment, and uses its microporous structure to adsorb Ag through a liquid phase impregnation process. + and Sn 2+ In the later high-temperature calcination and carbonization process, the nitrogen atoms in the precursor are used to anchor Ag and Sn atoms to form N 4 -Ag-Sn-N 4 The coordination structure enables Ag and Sn atoms to be stably dispersed on the ZIF-8 sintered carbon substrate, thereby preparing an Ag / Sn diatomic catalyst with high catalytic activity, high hydrogen evolution overpotential and high stability. The preparation method provided in this application is simple and easy to control, and has high electrocatalytic activity, excellent hydrogen evolution inhibition effect and high cycle stability, and is expected to achieve large-scale commercial production.
