This invention relates to a
dimethylamine-modified tetranuclear heterometallic cluster compound, its preparation method, and its application. The invention is intended for the field of electrocatalytic
oxygen evolution and relates to a compound, its preparation method, and its application. The purpose of this invention is to address the problem of
hydrogen energy shortage. The
dimethylamine-modified tetranuclear heterometallic cluster compound has the molecular formula [(CH3)2NH2][Ni(H2O)6][{NaNiSbW(OH)4(H2O)6}{SbW8O 30 Na₂[SbW₁₉O]·2H₂O has a molecular weight of 2861.62. It is used for alkaline electrocatalytic
oxygen production. Preparation method: Prepare Na₂[SbW₁₉O]₂. 33 Precursor; Na9[SbW9O 33 The precursor was dissolved in deionized water,
nickel nitrate was added, and the mixture was stirred.
Terephthalic acid was added, and the mixture was stirred again. NaOH solution was added dropwise, and the reaction was allowed to proceed for 2 hours. After cooling, the mixture was filtered, and
dimethylamine hydrochloride was added. The mixture was then evaporated at
room temperature to crystallize. Hexagonal yellow crystals appeared after three days, yielding the product. The
overpotential of the dimethylamine-modified tetranuclear heterometallic cluster compound of this invention can reach 39.7 mV. The Tafel slope is 19.75 mV / dec. The slope of the fitted straight line is 4.51 mF / cm. 2 Electrochemical transfer resistance: 1.9Ω.
