Description

Preparation method of nickel phosphide/nickel foam electrochemical functional hydrogen evolution material
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of hydrogen energy application, in particular to a preparation method of a nickel phosphide/nickel foam electrochemical functional hydrogen evolution material.
Background
The development of efficient renewable clean energy is an important measure for solving the problems of environment and energy at present, in an efficient renewable energy system, a potential key energy storage means is to convert electric energy into chemical energy stored in a fuel form, and the most important and simple step in the process is to decompose water to produce hydrogen. Compared with the hydrogen production method relying on primary energy in industry, the hydrogen production by water electrolysis is concerned by the characteristics of simple device, high hydrogen production purity, high energy conversion rate and the like; the efficiency of decomposing water to produce hydrogen depends on catalysts of two half reactions of cathode hydrogen evolution reaction and anode oxygen uptake, so the performance of the catalyst for electrochemical cathode hydrogen evolution reaction is a key for restricting the efficiency of decomposing water to produce hydrogen. At present, the industrial water decomposition mainly depends on the traditional platinum-based catalyst, but considering the defect that the precious metals such as platinum and the like cannot meet the requirements of engineering application because of small storage amount and high price in the earth crust, the method is very urgent to develop non-precious metal catalysts which have wide sources, convenient use, high-efficiency and stable catalytic hydrogen evolution performance, low price and easy availability. In addition, in the hydrogen production process, different electrolysis devices such as proton exchange membrane fuel cells, microbial fuel cells and the like have different requirements on the pH of the electrolysis cell, so that the non-noble metal-based electrochemical cathode hydrogen evolution catalytic material has the characteristics of high efficiency, stability, low price, easiness in obtaining and the like of hydrogen evolution catalysis, and also needs to have a wide pH application range, which is the core of green hydrogen production measures.
Among non-noble metal-based cathode catalytic materials, nickel-phosphorus alloys and transition metal phosphides represented by nickel phosphide have attracted much attention as hydrogen evolution materials because of their low cost and availability. Researchers at home and abroad carry out a plurality of researches in the field, and the research on researching the preparation way of the nickel phosphide and evaluating the hydrogen evolution performance of the water and electricity dissociation is the key research point in the field. At present, the solution phase reaction such as hydrothermal synthesis for preparing nickel phosphide mainly uses white phosphorus or tri-n-octylphosphine as a phosphorus source, but the reaction temperature range is limited to a certain extent, and the toxicity of intermediate products in the reaction process is high. Therefore, the researchers improved the above process, and patent CN109650360A discloses a method for continuously preparing nickel phosphide nanoparticles by using a microchannel reactor, which comprises mixing an organic nickel precursor and an organic phosphorus source, diluting with a high boiling point multi-carbon organic substance as a diluent, subjecting the obtained suspension to ultrasonic treatment, directly injecting into the microchannel reactor for reaction, and precipitating, separating, washing and vacuum drying the obtained product to obtain nickel phosphide nanoparticles. Although the prepared nickel phosphide nano-particles have the characteristics of extremely small size, uniform size, good dispersibility and the like, the nickel phosphide nano-particles need to use various toxic chemical substances such as triphenylphosphine, 1-octadecene and the like, and have great harm to human bodies. Patent CN109267095A mentions a preparation method of a novel nickel phosphide catalytic material, which comprises the steps of firstly synthesizing a metal organic framework precursor containing nitrogen and phosphorus atoms by a micro-droplet method, then sintering and thermally treating the precursor at the high temperature of 900-1100 ℃, and then preparing a nickel phosphide catalytic hydrogen evolution material. Based on the technical defects of the existing nickel phosphide preparation, the preparation technology of the nickel phosphide, which has the advantages of wide material source, convenient preparation process, no pollution, easy industrial popularization, high and stable hydrogen evolution performance and wide pH application range, is sought, and is an important measure for promoting the hydrogen production by cathode water and electricity dissociation.
