Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of seawater electrolysis, and in particular to a highly corrosion-resistant nickel-based seawater electrolysis oxygen-decomposing integrated electrode, a preparation method thereof, and applications thereof. Background Art
[0002] As a crucial component of renewable energy development, the direct utilization of offshore wind energy offers broad prospects for the global energy transition. Against this backdrop, extracting hydrogen directly through seawater electrolysis has become a key path to achieving the clean energy vision. Compared to traditional freshwater electrolysis methods, seawater electrolysis offers numerous advantages, including convenient access to materials and abundant resources. However, the unique characteristics of the marine environment, particularly the presence of high concentrations of chloride ions (Cl⁻ ~0.5 M), present significant technical challenges to the electrolysis process.
[0003] Currently, commercial alkaline electrolyzers mostly use nickel-based anode materials, such as Raney nickel and nickel foam. However, these materials face severe chloride ion corrosion and competitive chlorine evolution reactions in seawater environments, leading to rapid failure and limiting their prospects for industrial application. Even currently advanced NiFe layered double hydroxide catalysts cannot withstand chloride ion corrosion at high current densities, resulting in irreversible structural damage and performance degradation. Recent research has attempted to construct blocking layers on the catalyst surface to mitigate chloride ion corrosion. For example, Amar A. Bhardwaj et al. [https: / / doi.org / 10.1021 / acscatal.0c04343] deposited an ultrathin silicon oxide layer on a platinum catalyst, achieving highly selective oxygen evolution reaction (OER) under seawater electrolysis conditions. This technique provides a new approach to addressing the issues of chloride corrosion and competitive chlorine evolution. However, while the coating effectively inhibits chloride ion diffusion, it also hinders the transport of water and oxygen, resulting in reduced OER performance. This "activity-stability trade-off" has become a bottleneck restricting the development of seawater electrolysis technology.
[0004] Therefore, to promote the efficient utilization of offshore wind energy resources, it is urgent to develop innovative modification strategies to enhance the inherent oxygen evolution reaction activity and stability of nickel-based materials in seawater environments to meet practical application requirements. This is not only necessary to address current technical challenges, but will also promote the large-scale application of seawater electrolysis hydrogen production technology in offshore wind energy utilization, opening up new paths for global sustainable energy development.
