Description

Electrocatalytic oxygen evolution electrode and preparation and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of environmental water treatment and electrocatalysis, and particularly relates to an electrocatalysis oxygen evolution electrode and preparation and application thereof.
Background
Hydrotalcite is a double-layer sheet metal hydroxide, and the most common methods for synthesizing hydrotalcite at present mainly comprise two methods: one is an oxidation method and one is a coprecipitation method. The two processes are briefly described below by way of example with Fe/Al-LDH (Fe/Al-double hydroxide).
The oxidation process is carried out in a neutral or alkaline environment with anions (SO)4 2-、CO3 2-、Cl-Etc.) in the presence of an oxidizing agent (O)2、H2O2、K2MnO7Etc.) are added to M in a certain amount2+In the solution, the hydrotalcite is obtained by partial oxidation. In the preparation of FeAl-LDH, firstly a certain amount of FeSO is dissolved in the solution4And Al2(SO4)3Adjusting the pH to neutral and adding a certain amount of waterThe generated precipitate, namely FeAl-LDH with the interlaminar anion being sulfate radical, is fully reacted with the hydrogen peroxide. The oxidation method mainly has two problems, firstly, the strength and the dosage of the oxidant can have certain influence on the formation of the hydrotalcite; second is OH-/M2+And pH are also important factors affecting hydrotalcite. From this, it is clear that although the principle of the oxidation method for producing hydrotalcite is simple, oxidation of an oxidizing agent, pH, and hydroxide is difficult to control during the operation, and therefore hydrotalcite is generally not produced by the oxidation method.
The coprecipitation method is to add a certain amount of M under the condition of no oxygen2+、M3+Adding a certain amount of sodium hydroxide into water according to a certain proportion, slowly stirring to form hydrotalcite containing specific anions (SO)4 2-、CO3 2-、Cl-Etc.). When FeAl-LDH is prepared by a coprecipitation method, ferrous salt and trivalent aluminum salt in a certain proportion are dissolved in deionized water, the pH value is adjusted to about 9-10 by sodium hydroxide, the mixture is slowly stirred until the precipitation is complete, and the obtained precipitation is FexAly-LDH。
In conclusion, different M's were used in the synthesis of hydrotalcite by both the oxidation and coprecipitation methods2+/M3+And different OH-The content of (a) will have different effects on the formation of hydrotalcite and different products will be formed.
Hydrogen is a green and environment-friendly renewable energy source which can replace fossil energy. The electrolysis of water to produce hydrogen is one of the most efficient ways. However, since the electrolytic water is very slow in dynamics and has a large reaction overpotential, the oxygen evolution half-reaction of the anode severely limits the hydrogen evolution reaction efficiency of the cathode. Therefore, the development of highly efficient electrocatalytic oxygen evolution catalysts is of great importance to drive the commercialization of energy storage and conversion technologies. The noble metal catalyst has good catalytic performance for electrocatalytic oxygen evolution, but has high catalytic cost and poor stability. With the continuous development of material chemistry and the continuous innovation of synthesis technology, the practical process of preparing the low-cost high-efficiency OER (oxygen evolution reaction) catalyst is greatly enhanced.
Recent studies have shown that layered double oxides or hydroxides exhibit high activity and stability in electrocatalytic oxygen production reactions. The exchangeable anions between the layers are balanced with the positive charges between the layers, so that the catalyst presents electric neutrality and is easy to be loaded on a proper metal substrate. However, the traditional preparation method of the layered bimetallic catalyst loaded on the foamed nickel generally adopts a solvothermal method or methods such as spin coating and spray coating, and the catalyst is dispersed unevenly and combined infirm on the surface of the carrier, so that the charge transmission is hindered, the electrode is easy to fall off, and the final catalytic activity and the service life of the electrode are seriously influenced.

As the electrolysis proceeds, the excess chromium ions are directly combined with iron ions free in the solution to form iron-chromium hydrotalcite, and the iron-chromium hydrotalcite is precipitated in water in the form of flocs until the chromium ions in the solution are completely removed.

When the iron plate is pretreated, sand paper of 100 meshes, 500 meshes and 1000 meshes is sequentially used for polishing until iron oxide on the surface is completely cleaned.
Step 1, preparing an electrolyte solution by using chromium sulfate and anhydrous sodium sulfate, wherein the molar concentration of the sodium sulfate is 10mmol/L, and the molar content of chromium element is 100 mmol/L. Introducing nitrogen for 30min for later use to completely avoid the influence of dissolved oxygen.
And 2, carrying out an electrolytic reaction for 2 hours at a constant potential of 0.1V, turning the electrolyte solution into colorless, turning off a power supply, and taking out the electrode. And cleaning and drying to obtain the electrocatalytic oxygen evolution electrode.
The electrocatalytic oxygen evolution electrode obtained in this example was subjected to an activity test, the test results of which are shown in fig. 4.
Fig. 4 is the result of the activity test of the electrocatalytic oxygen evolution electrode in example 2 of the present invention. Wherein the abscissa represents the overpotential (unit:v), and the ordinate represents the current density (unit: mA.cm-2)。
As shown in fig. 4, the electrocatalytic electrode showed slightly lower oxygen evolution activity in alkaline medium than that of example 1, and it can be seen that the content of chromium element in the simulated wastewater solution influences the activity of the prepared electrocatalytic oxygen evolution catalyst. In 1mol/LKOH electrolyte, the current density of the ferrochrome hydrotalcite loaded on the foamed nickel is 50mA/cm2And 100mA/cm2Next, the overpotential was 270mV and 380 mV.
Effects and effects of the embodiments
The preparation method of the electrocatalytic oxygen evolution electrode provided by the embodiment of the invention adopts trivalent chromium base salt solution as electrolyte solution, foamed nickel as cathode and iron as anode to form a standard electrode system; connecting the positive pole of the direct current with the anode, connecting the negative pole of the direct current with the cathode, and introducing N into the electrolyte solution2After 20min to 30min, carrying out electrolytic reaction with constant potential or constant current to obtain the electro-catalytic oxygen evolution electrode. In the reaction process, anode iron is dissolved and adsorbed near a cathode under the action of an electric field, and the cathode reduces water to generate hydroxyl to create an alkaline environment so as to promote iron ions and chromium ions in the solution to generate iron-chromium hydrotalcite to be loaded on the foamed nickel. As the electrolysis proceeds, the redundant chromium ions are directly combined with iron ions free in the solution to generate iron-chromium hydrotalcite which is deposited in the form of flocs in water until the chromium ions in the solution are completely removed. Meanwhile, the content change of the trivalent chromium in the solution in the reaction process is detected by adopting an ammonium ferrous sulfate titration method, and the degradation effect of the trivalent chromium in the simulated wastewater is judged.
Because the electrochemical sacrificial anode method is adopted for one-step synthesis, raw materials are derived from industrial wastewater, the traditional hydrotalcite preparation method by solvothermal or chemical precipitation-spin coating and the like is abandoned, and the conditions of high temperature, high pressure and the like are not needed, so that the preparation method has the advantages of simple process, mild conditions and environmental friendliness, and is suitable for the application of industrial electrolyzed water.
The electrode substrate of the prepared electrocatalytic oxygen evolution electrode is foamed nickel, and the active component is iron-chromium hydrotalcite loaded and grown on the foamed nickel.
The prepared electro-catalytic oxygen evolution electrode is used in electro-catalytic cracking water oxygen evolution, and because the iron-chromium hydrotalcite generated by cathode reduction is of a three-dimensional sheet structure, the structure has a very large electrochemical active area, and the oxygen evolution activity of the electro-catalyst is greatly increased. In addition, the iron-chromium hydrotalcite is reduced and grown on the foamed nickel substrate by utilizing the action of an external electric field and an alkaline environment created by hydroxyl generated by cathode reduced water, so that the charge transmission efficiency and the structural stability are ensured, the final catalytic activity of the electrode is enhanced, and the service life is prolonged. Therefore, the prepared electrocatalytic oxygen evolution electrode shows excellent oxygen evolution activity in an alkaline medium, and the current density is 100mA/cm2Can reach over potential of 290mV, and can replace noble metal to promote the development of an electrolytic water system in an alkaline medium.
In conclusion, the embodiment of the invention prepares the electrocatalyst by using the industrial chromium-containing wastewater, the reaction condition is mild, the environment is friendly, and the preparation method is simple and convenient. Cr in the material is directly derived from trivalent Cr in industrial wastewater, and pollutant Cr in the wastewater is degraded in a flocculation sedimentation mode in the process of gradually synthesizing the material. The hydrotalcite nano material generated by the electrochemical sacrificial anode method has better development prospect in the treatment of industrial wastewater containing trivalent chromium and the electro-catalytic oxygen evolution reaction. Not only solves the preparation problem of the layered bimetallic material loaded on the foamed nickel, but also can degrade the industrial chromium-containing wastewater by 100 percent. The method has clear and novel design thought and simple and convenient operation, and accords with the concept of green chemistry.
The above embodiments are preferred examples of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.
