Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of electrocatalysis, and particularly relates to a metal porphyrin hydrazone-carbon nanotube gel and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasing urgency of global demand for clean energy, hydrogen production through water electrolysis using renewable energy is considered a key technological pathway to achieving carbon neutrality. Seawater accounts for over 97% of the Earth's water resources, and direct seawater electrolysis for hydrogen production can eliminate dependence on scarce freshwater, holding significant strategic importance. However, the complexity of the seawater system, including its high salinity, impurities, and microorganisms, poses severe challenges to the activity, selectivity, and stability of the anode catalyst in seawater electrolysis for hydrogen production. It not only needs to drive a high current density at low overpotentials to reduce energy consumption and exhibit excellent selectivity for the oxygen evolution reaction, effectively suppressing the chlorine evolution side reaction, but also must maintain structural integrity during long-term electrolysis to prevent the active components from dissolving, agglomerating, or becoming poisoned.

[0003] Currently, the mainstream anode catalysts are still mainly oxides of precious metals such as iridium and ruthenium. There are also a small number of non-precious metal-based catalysts such as transition metal oxides, hydroxides, and sulfides. They are relatively low in cost and have considerable theoretical activity, but they often face the dilemma of poor selectivity, high overpotential, and poor stability in harsh seawater environments.

[0004] Therefore, developing anode catalysts for hydrogen production from seawater using non-precious metals that combine high activity, high oxygen evolution selectivity, and stability is a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved in this field. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the shortcomings of the existing technology, a metalloporphyrin hydrazone-carbon nanotube gel and its preparation method are provided. The metalloporphyrin hydrazone-carbon nanotube gel uses a metallized porphyrin compound containing four hydrazide groups, a compound with at least two aldehyde groups, and aminated carbon nanotubes as raw materials. The three components are covalently bonded to construct a stable, highly catalytically active, and highly selective three-dimensional network structure, thereby enabling the prepared seawater electrolysis hydrogen production anode catalyst to simultaneously possess high activity, high oxygen evolution selectivity, and stability.

[0006] The first objective of this invention is to provide a metalloporphyrin hydrazone-carbon nanotube gel, the raw materials for which include a metallized porphyrin compound containing four acylhydrazine groups, a compound with at least two aldehyde groups, and aminated carbon nanotubes.

[0007] In this invention, firstly, under mild reaction conditions, a metallized porphyrin compound containing four hydrazide groups, a compound with at least two aldehyde groups, and aminated carbon nanotubes can form acylhydrazone / Schiff base bonds, constructing a three-dimensional network structure in the form of covalent bonds. Furthermore, the acylhydrazone bonds in the gel possess dynamic self-healing properties, automatically repairing defects such as cracks in the catalyst caused by seawater impact, thereby achieving overall catalyst stability. Secondly, the covalently bonded carbon nanotubes can construct a stable conductive framework, driving electrons to rapidly conduct from the highly dispersed metal active centers to the electrode substrate, thus obtaining a lower overpotential. Finally, the precise control of the electronic structure of the highly dispersed metal active centers, and the organic ligand environment around the porphyrin ring, can limit the large ionic radius of Cl... - While hydroxyl radicals can reach the active metal site relatively smoothly via the Grotes mechanism, selectivity in the oxygen evolution reaction can be achieved.

[0008] In some embodiments of the present invention, the molar ratio of the acylhydrazine group in the metalloporphyrin compound containing four acylhydrazine groups to the aldehyde group in the compound containing at least two aldehyde groups is 1:1 to 2, for example, it can be 1:1.1, 1:1.2, 1:1.3, 1:1.4, 1:1.5, 1:1.6, 1:1.7, 1:1.8, or 1:1.9. By controlling the molar ratio of the two groups within the above range, it is beneficial to control the reaction process for preparing the gel and obtain a gel with an appropriate degree of crosslinking.

[0009] In some embodiments of the present invention, the mass of the aminated carbon nanotubes is 5-15% of the sum of the mass of the metallized porphyrin compound containing four acylhydrazine groups and the compound containing at least two aldehyde groups. By controlling the amount of carbon nanotubes within the above range, it is beneficial to simultaneously achieve good mechanical strength and construct a stable conductive network in the gel, thereby improving the stability and catalytic activity of the anode catalyst. Furthermore, it is understood that the carbon nanotubes are industrially common multi-walled carbon nanotubes.
