The invention relates to a Fe-Mo-V
ternary sulfide electrocatalytic
ammonia synthesis catalyst, in particular to the technical field of electrochemical green
hydrogen production of green
ammonia. The catalyst is composed of iron,
molybdenum,
vanadium and
sulfur elements, has a chemical general formula of FeaMo [beta] V [gamma] S, and has a porous
nanosheet structure with a specific surface area. The preparation method comprises the following steps: dissolving an
iron source, a
molybdenum source and a
vanadium source in water in proportion, adding a
sulfur source, carrying out a
hydrothermal reaction, carrying out centrifugal washing, and annealing in a
hydrogen-containing
inert atmosphere. According to the catalyst, an iron-
molybdenum electronic structure is reconstructed through
vanadium doping, Fe-V double active centers are formed to synergistically promote
nitrogen adsorption and N = N bond breakage, and meanwhile, a
proton transfer path is perfected through molybdenum and
sulfur sites. The invention is applied to
proton exchange membrane
electrolytic cell cathodes. The porous
nanosheet structure accelerates
nitrogen mass transfer, V-S bonds strengthen lattice stability, and the problems of weak
nitrogen activation, serious
hydrogen evolution competition and sulfur loss of a traditional catalyst are solved. The process is suitable for large-scale production, the
energy consumption of single
electrolysis is reduced to 28.6 kWh / kgNH3, and a high-efficiency and low-cost
catalysis scheme is provided for green
ammonia industrialization.
