Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the field of hydrogen production catalysts for water electrolysis, and particularly relates to a preparation method of porous high-activity iridium black and application thereof in an acid oxygen evolution reaction (OER). BACKGROUND

[0002] Proton exchange membrane water electrolysis (PEMWE) is highly valued for its advantages of compact design, simple structure, fast response speed, low ohmic loss, high voltage efficiency, and high gas purity. The oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is a complex process involving multi-step proton-coupled four-electron transfer, and its kinetic process is slow and has low conversion efficiency. Under the harsh conditions of high potential and strong acid environment, the long-term operation of the catalyst faces great challenges, so improving the activity and stability of the acid OER catalyst is of great significance to the prospect of PEMWE. However, so far, iridium is still one of the preferred elements for OER catalysts, but its low abundance on earth, extremely low annual output, and high cost seriously hinder the development of PEMWE. Therefore, reducing the dependence on iridium and improving the catalytic activity and stability of iridium are the keys to further promoting the large-scale application of PEMWE.

[0003] Since most OER occurs only on the surface and near-surface region of the catalyst, materials with higher specific surface area to volume ratio can expose more active sites, thereby improving catalytic activity. In addition, catalysts with highly open structures not only can adjust the electronic structure and effectively improve atomic utilization, but also can effectively improve mass transfer efficiency, thereby improving the activity and stability of the catalyst.

[0004] Traditional iridium black catalysts have problems of low specific surface area, few active sites, and poor stability, and the preparation process often involves high-temperature reduction or organic solvents, which is costly and polluting. Existing technologies cannot balance high activity, porous structure, and industrial feasibility. SUMMARY

[0024] Preferably, the iridium black catalyst has an iridium loading of 0.8 mg / cm 2 at a current density of 1 A / cm 2 The electrolysis voltage is ≤ 1.65 V at a current density of 1 A / cm

[0025] A third object of the present application is to provide the use of the catalyst in the oxygen evolution reaction of the proton exchange membrane electrolysis of water.
