[0023] The application will be further described in conjunction with the drawings and specific embodiments.

[0024] Example One

[0025] The preparation method of the adhesive with the catalytic hydrolysis function provided in this embodiment includes the following steps:

[0026] S1: 10g of acrylic acid (AA), 1g of methyl acrylate (MAA), 1g of N,N-methylenebisacrylamide (MBA), 0.1g of sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate, and 2g of pure water were put into a flask, and fully stirred, and gradually heated to 45℃, and the stirring time was 1.5h, to obtain a monomer solution.

[0027] S2: 0.4g of potassium persulfate was dissolved in 10g of pure water to obtain solution A, and 0.4g of iron chloride was dissolved in 1g of pure water to obtain solution B.

[0028] S3: Solution A and solution B were added to the monomer solution in a slow and continuous dropwise manner, the dropwise adding time was 1h, and the temperature was raised to 60℃, and the reaction was carried out for 1h, to obtain the adhesive with the catalytic hydrolysis function.

[0029] The application also provides the use of the adhesive with the catalytic hydrolysis function prepared by the preparation method of the adhesive with the catalytic hydrolysis function in the electrolysis of water to produce hydrogen.

[0030] The adhesive was coated on the surface of the nickel foam electrode, and transferred to a 70℃ oven. After 12h, when the solvent was completely volatilized, the modified nickel foam electrode was used as the cathode and the anode respectively for the alkaline electrolysis to produce hydrogen. As shown in the formula (I), under the same test conditions, compared with the electrolytic cell composed of the unmodified electrode, the voltage of the electrolytic cell assembled by the electrode with the modified surface was reduced by 360-530mV. It can be seen that after the electrode surface is modified, the operating voltage is obviously reduced. Figure 1

[0031] Example Two

[0032] The preparation method of the adhesive with the catalytic hydrolysis function provided in this embodiment includes the following steps:

[0033] S1: 15g of acrylic acid (AA), 3g of methyl acrylate (MAA), 1.2g of N,N-methylenebisacrylamide (MBA), 0.2g of sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate, and 2g of pure water were put into a flask, and fully stirred, and gradually heated to 50℃, and the stirring time was 2h, to obtain a monomer solution.

[0034] S2: 0.6g of potassium persulfate was dissolved in 12g of pure water to obtain solution A, and 0.8g of zinc chloride was dissolved in 3g of pure water to obtain solution B. ​

[0035] S3: Solution A and solution B are added to the monomer solution in a slow continuous dropwise manner, the dropwise time is 1.5 h, the temperature is increased to 55℃, and the reaction is carried out for 2 h to obtain the adhesive with the catalytic water splitting function.

[0036] The embodiment also provides application of the adhesive with the catalytic water splitting function prepared by the preparation method of the adhesive with the catalytic water splitting function in electrolytic water hydrogen production.

[0037] The adhesive is applied between two ion exchange membranes, dried, and then soaked in pure water again, the composite membrane is placed between the positive electrode and the negative electrode (the effective area is 0.05 m 2 ), a platinum sheet is used as a working electrode, and 5% sodium sulfate solution is introduced into the cathode chamber and the anode chamber as an electrode solution. The water splitting partial pressure is tested under a current density of 500 A / m 2 , and compared with the composite membrane prepared by the adhesive without adding zinc chloride, as shown in Figure 2 , the water splitting partial pressure of the composite membrane prepared by the adhesive containing zinc chloride in the embodiment is 1.22-1.35 V, and the water splitting partial pressure of the composite membrane prepared by the adhesive without adding zinc chloride is 1.65-1.72 V.

[0038] It is illustrated that the adhesive prepared by the application has a catalytic water splitting effect on water entering the adhesive under the action of a direct current electric field after the adhesive is used for bonding between two ion exchange membranes. Moreover, the acrylic monomer is used as a main polymer monomer in the application, the water solubility of the acrylic acid is very good, the use of the emulsifier can be effectively reduced, and the problem of excessive use of the emulsifier is solved. The adhesive prepared by the application has good hydrophilicity, and can be used for bonding of nickel electrodes, platinum electrodes, titanium electrodes, microporous membranes, ion exchange membranes, non-woven fabrics, microfiltration membranes, ultrafiltration membranes, nanofiltration membranes and the like in a wet state.

[0039] The adhesive prepared by the application significantly reduces the activation energy barrier of water molecule dissociation through internal active catalytic particles, and strengthens the kinetics process of cathode hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and anode oxygen evolution reaction (OER). The core advantage lies in realizing in-situ integration of the interface, promoting water splitting, optimizing ion transmission channels and improving current density. Experiments show that the electrode / membrane sheet modified by the adhesive has a significantly reduced voltage under the same operating current. The application provides a new material strategy for developing a high-performance electrolytic water hydrogen production system, and has important practical significance for promoting the large-scale development of green hydrogen industry. The application breaks through the functional boundary of traditional adhesives which only provide physical connection, introduces specific metal ions to endow the material with high catalytic properties, and can form a continuous and uniform catalytic layer at the interface. The core mechanism is that when the adhesive contacts with an electrolyte, the built-in catalytic particles can significantly reduce the Gibbs free energy barrier of water molecule dissociation, promote H +and rapid generation of OH-, thereby directly increasing the kinetic rate of the cathodic hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and the anodic oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in the electrolysis process.

[0040] The above examples are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, but not to limit it; although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing examples, those skilled in the art should understand that; it can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing examples, or make equivalent replacement for part of the technical features; and these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application.
