Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of electrocatalyst material preparation, and particularly relates to a long-range disordered localized CoOOH ultrathin nanosheet electrocatalyst and a preparation method and application thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] To cope with the development goals of carbon peak and carbon neutral, the energy structure is in urgent need of transformation from traditional fossil fuels with high carbon emissions to new renewable energy with low carbon. As a clean and sustainable energy, the hydrogen energy industry has ushered in an unprecedented development opportunity. As one of the key technologies for green hydrogen production, alkaline anion exchange membrane water electrolysis for hydrogen production has become a low-cost and high-efficiency hydrogen production process that has attracted much attention because it can use non-noble metal catalysts. However, the sluggish reaction kinetics of anode oxygen evolution greatly limits the large-scale development of alkaline anion exchange membrane water electrolysis for hydrogen production. Therefore, it is extremely important to develop low-cost and high-efficiency non-noble metal catalysts to realize the large-scale development of alkaline anion exchange membrane water electrolysis for hydrogen production.

[0003] Currently, cobalt oxyhydroxide (CoOOH) has a moderate degradation rate and adjustable activity, and is outstanding in transition metal non-oxide water electrolysis anode catalysts, and is considered to be one of the most promising alkaline water electrolysis hydrogen production anode catalysts. At the same time, long-range disordered amorphous nanostructures have the outstanding characteristics of exposing many reaction sites and being corrosion-resistant, and these amorphous catalysts can effectively realize the adsorption regulation of reaction intermediates by adjusting the long-range disorder degree, thereby accelerating the catalytic reaction kinetics. For example, Angewandte Chemie International Edition 64, e202421263, 2025 reported that the increase in the structural long-range order of poly- (heptazine imide) nanorods can greatly enhance the separation of photo-generated charges and the adsorption of CO intermediates in the photocatalytic CO2 methanation, thereby improving the catalytic performance. Therefore, designing and constructing amorphous CoOOH nanostructure catalysts with different long-range disorder degrees is of great significance for realizing efficient alkaline water electrolysis for hydrogen production.

[0004] However, under the anode reaction conditions of alkaline water electrolysis, cobalt-based catalysts will inevitably undergo oxidation reconstruction, resulting in the failure of the structural design of the initial catalyst and the lack of control over the structure of the amorphous CoOOH catalyst formed after reconstruction, ultimately leading to poor efficiency and stability of the water electrolysis for hydrogen production. So far, in the development of alkaline water electrolysis anode catalyst materials, research on controlling the long-range disorder degree of amorphous CoOOH catalysts formed after reconstruction is still rare, making the current alkaline water electrolysis hydrogen production anode catalyst still unable to effectively benefit from the long-range disorder degree control of the reconstructed amorphous CoOOH structure to achieve a significant performance improvement.

[0005] In summary, there is still a lack of a technology that can dynamically control the long-range disorder degree of the amorphous CoOOH catalyst formed by reconstruction in the process of water electrolysis anodic oxidation, so that the amorphous CoOOH catalyst material cannot exhibit its theoretically unique high activity and high stability in the actual water electrolysis hydrogen production process. Therefore, it is urgent to develop a necessary long-range disorder degree regulation process for the amorphous CoOOH formed by reconstruction under the condition of water electrolysis anodic oxidation, so as to develop a kind of alkaline water electrolysis hydrogen production catalyst material with high performance and high stability. SUMMARY

[0006] In order to overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings of the prior art, the purpose of the present application is to provide a long-range disorder localized CoOOH ultrathin nanosheet electrocatalyst and its preparation method and application, so as to solve the problem that the long-range disorder of the active phase of the amorphous hydroxide oxide formed by oxidation and reconstruction in the process of the existing water electrolysis hydrogen production anode catalyst technology is difficult to control and cannot meet the reaction efficiency and durability requirements in the process of alkaline water electrolysis.

[0007] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the technical scheme adopted by the present application is as follows: The first purpose of the present application is to provide a long-range disorder localized CoOOH ultrathin nanosheet electrocatalyst, which has a limited long-range disorder amorphous structure and realizes high-performance and high-stability industrialized water electrolysis hydrogen production application.

[0008] The long-range disorder localized CoOOH ultrathin nanosheet has an ordered-disordered crystal structure interface, and there is a tensile stress at the interface, which promotes the activation and regeneration of lattice oxygen in the process of water electrolysis anode oxygen evolution reaction.

[0009] The second purpose of the present application is to disclose a preparation method of the long-range disorder localized CoOOH ultrathin nanosheet electrocatalyst: fluorine-doped cobalt selenide nanobelt is prepared as a basic material by a low-temperature annealing method, and is prepared in situ under the condition of alkaline water electrolysis anode oxygen evolution reaction.

[0010] More specifically, first, the fluorine salt and the CoSe2 nanobelt are obtained by a low-temperature annealing method to obtain F-CoSe2 nanobelt, and then the prepared F-CoSe2 nanobelt is prepared in situ under the condition of alkaline water electrolysis anode oxidation reaction (the element F is dissolved in the solution in the process of electrochemical oxidation) to prepare long-range disorder localized CoOOH ultrathin nanosheet, i.e. electrocatalyst.

[0011] As a preferred scheme, the in-situ reconstruction process adopts a cyclic voltammetry method, and the specific operation is as follows: The F-CoSe2 nanobelt is dispersed in a mixed solution of isopropyl alcohol and Nafion to form a dispersion slurry; The dispersed slurry is coated on the surface of the gas diffusion layer, and after drying, a working electrode is formed; In the oxygen-saturated potassium hydroxide electrolyte, cyclic voltammetry is performed to complete in-situ reconstruction.

[0012] Further, the mass fraction of the Nafion solution is 5%, and the concentration of the potassium hydroxide electrolyte is 1 mol / L.

[0013] Further, the cyclic voltammetry condition is that the voltage range is 1.02-1.50 V, the scanning rate is 50 mV / s, and the cyclic treatment is 30-50 times to complete in-situ reconstruction.

[0014] As a preferred scheme, the anodic oxidation of electrolytic water can also adopt a constant voltage test method.

[0015] As a preferred scheme, the preparation of the F-CoSe2 nanobelt specifically includes the following steps: Step 1, mixing polyethylene polyamine, water, cobalt salt and selenate and fully stirring to prepare a dispersed solution, and then centrifuging, washing and drying after heating reaction to prepare CoSe2 nanobelt; Step 2, annealing the prepared CoSe2 nanobelt with a fluorine salt at a certain temperature, and then centrifuging, washing and drying after reaction to prepare F-CoSe2 nanobelt.

[0016] As a preferred scheme, the cobalt salt is one of cobalt sulfate, cobalt chloride, cobalt acetate, cobalt acetylacetone and cobalt nitrate; preferably, the selenate is one of sodium selenite and potassium selenite; preferably, the polyethylene polyamine is a mixture of one or more of ethylenediamine, diethylenetriamine, triethylenetetramine and tetraethylenepentamine.

[0017] As a preferred scheme, the molar ratio of the cobalt salt to the selenate is (1-3):(1-4), and the volume ratio of the polyethylene polyamine to water in the aqueous solution of the polyethylene polyamine is (2-5):(1-2).

[0018] As a preferred scheme, the fluorine salt is one of sodium fluoride, ammonium fluoride and potassium fluoride.

[0019] As a preferred scheme, the molar ratio of the CoSe2 nanobelt to the fluorine salt is 1:(1-45).

[0020] A third object of the present application is the application of the long-range disordered localized CoOOH ultrathin nanosheet electrocatalyst in the anodic oxygen evolution reaction of alkaline electrolytic water and the industrial anion exchange membrane electrolytic water hydrogen production.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the present application has the following beneficial effects: The long-range disorder localized CoOOH ultrathin nanosheet electrocatalyst disclosed by the application is a low crystal structure prepared by reconstruction of F-CoSe2 nanobelt under the anode reaction condition of alkaline electrolytic water, wherein the replacement of F ions to Se ions in the base material can reduce the leaching of lattice Co atoms, and can also adjust the electronic structure of Co sites, so that the long-range disorder degree of the amorphous CoOOH after reconstruction is effectively controlled, thereby obtaining the long-range disorder localized amorphous CoOOH ultrathin nanosheet. At the same time, due to the participation of fluorine ions, when applied to the anode oxygen evolution reaction of alkaline electrolytic water, the lattice Co is easy to remain during the reconstruction process, and a limited long-range disorder structure is constructed, so it has excellent catalytic activity and durability in the anode oxygen evolution reaction of alkaline electrolytic water, and plays a unique and significant role in the industrial hydrogen production by electrolytic water, and exhibits excellent hydrogen production efficiency and durability. In particular, in the optimal embodiment provided by the application, when the current density is 10 mA / cm 2 , the overpotential of the long-range disorder localized CoOOH ultrathin nanocatalyst is only 245 mV, which is reduced by 91 mV compared with the commercial RuO2 catalyst. At the same time, under the overpotential of 295 mV, the current density of the long-range disorder localized CoOOH nanocatalyst is 30.7 times higher than that of the RuO2 catalyst, which shows excellent catalytic activity. In addition, in the industrial application of alkaline anion exchange membrane electrolytic water hydrogen production, the long-range disorder localized CoOOH ultrathin nanocatalyst realizes a current density of 3.4 A / cm 2 at 2.0 V, which is 5.4 times higher than that of the commercial RuO2 catalyst. After 1200 hours of durability test under the industrial current density of 500 mA / cm 2 , the attenuation rate of the long-range disorder localized CoOOH ultrathin nanocatalyst is only 0.09 mV / h, which reflects excellent durability of industrial electrolytic water hydrogen production. Therefore, the obtained long-range disorder localized CoOOH ultrathin nanosheet catalyst has significant application advantages in the industrial alkaline anion exchange membrane electrolytic water hydrogen production.

[0022] The preparation method of the above long-range disorder localized CoOOH ultrathin nanosheet disclosed by the application uses abundant and low-cost cobalt, selenium, fluorine and the like as raw materials, and is prepared by in-situ reconstruction under the anode reaction environment of electrolytic water. Compared with the traditional design method of electrolytic water anode catalyst, the preparation conditions are simple and mild, the cost is extremely low, the design and optimization of the real surface structure of the electrolytic water anode catalyst can be realized simply and quickly, and large-scale industrial production is easy.
