Background

Fossil energy is an important material basis for building modern civilization of human beings, but the fossil energy is becoming a problem source for restricting the sustainable development of human society nowadays. As a clean and efficient secondary energy carrier, the large-scale industrial application of the hydrogen is expected to fundamentally solve the global problems of energy shortage, environmental pollution and the like and realize the sustainable development of the human society. Promoting the industrial application of hydrogen energy requires constructing a complete hydrogen energy industrial chain including the links of hydrogen production, hydrogen storage, hydrogen utilization and the like, wherein the hydrogen production is the source. The existing scale hydrogen production method mainly comprises three types of methane reforming, coal gasification and water electrolysis, but the former two hydrogen production technologies are seriously dependent on fossil energy and do not have sustainable development property. The water electrolysis hydrogen production belongs to a clean hydrogen production technology, and the water electrolysis hydrogen production can be fundamentally rid of the dependence of fossil fuel by utilizing the electric energy generated by primary renewable energy sources to dissociate water; meanwhile, a feasible scheme is provided for the effective utilization of primary renewable energy. The water electrolysis relates to two half reactions of cathodic hydrogen evolution and anodic oxygen evolution, the research and development of a high-activity electrocatalyst is a core subject of the development of water electrolysis technology by reducing reaction overpotential to improve energy efficiency.

Noble metal Pt is a well-known high-activity hydrogen evolution electrocatalyst, but the high material cost and the resource scarcity seriously restrict the large-scale application of the noble metal Pt. In recent years, the development of novel non-noble metal catalysts and the realization of excellent catalytic performance while reducing material costs have become a mainstream trend in the field of electrolytic water technology. According to the reports of the literatures, various types of materials such as 3d transition metal oxides, carbides, nitrides, phosphides, sulfides, selenides and borides have good electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution activity, and the catalytic performance of the materials can be effectively improved through modification strategies such as structural nanocrystallization, defect regulation and component modulation. However, in general, the non-noble transition metal electrocatalysts still have the defects of over-high overpotential of hydrogen evolution reaction, poor long-term working stability and the like. Therefore, the development of advanced design strategies of cheap metal catalysts is still a key problem to be solved urgently in the process of promoting the practicability of the electrolytic water technology.

Transition metal borides have a wide application prospect in the electrochemical field, however, the lack of advanced synthesis technology has made their development in the field of electrolyzed water still impossible. At present, transition metal boride is mainly prepared by chemical plating and high-temperature sintering methods, but too fast reaction kinetics or too high reaction temperature are not beneficial to fine regulation and control of a nano structure, and a large amount of energy consumed by the high-temperature sintering method cannot meet the requirement of industrial production [ chem.Rev.113(2013)7981-8065 ]. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a method for preparing transition metal boride which is easy and controllable and can be mass-produced.

Firstly, growing a metal oxide precursor which contains a catalyst active component and has a high specific surface area on the surface of a carrier material by a hydrothermal method, and laying a material composition and structural foundation for synthesizing a high-performance catalyst; subsequently, high-temperature heat treatment is carried out in an inert atmosphere to increase the structural stability and the performance stability of the catalyst material; finally, the boride active phase is selectively precipitated by regulating and controlling the boronizing treatment conditions, so that the boride active phase is distributed on the surface of the oxide matrix in the form of nano particles, and the in-situ compounding of the two phases is realized.

Preparing a catalyst:

(1) foamed Cobalt (CF) is used as a carrier, the thickness of the foamed Cobalt (CF) is 1.80mm, and the surface density of the foamed Cobalt (CF) is 650g/m²The aperture is 0.20-0.80 mm. Foamed cobalt (1X 4 cm)²) Ultrasonic cleaning with ethanol for 10 min, activating with 1M hydrochloric acid solution for 5 min, and ultrasonic cleaning with deionized water for 10 min, and mixing with 30mL of solution containing Co (NO)₃)₂·6H₂O(0.02M)、Na₂MoO₄·2H₂A solution of O (0.01M) in deionized water was placed in a 50mL volume hydrothermal reactorTreating at 150 deg.C for 6 hr, naturally cooling to room temperature, cleaning, vacuum drying at 60 deg.C for 2 hr to obtain hydrothermal CoMoO sample₄·nH₂O/CF。

(2) Mixing 1X 2cm²The hydrothermal sample is placed in the middle of a quartz boat, heated to 400 ℃ in an argon atmosphere at the heating rate of 5 ℃/min, subjected to constant temperature treatment for 2 hours and then cooled to room temperature to obtain a thermal treatment sample CoMoO₄/CF。

(3) The heat-treated sample was immersed in 50ml of a solution containing NaOH (0.25M) and NaBH₄Reacting in 2.5M ethylene glycol/water mixed solution (ratio 1: 1) at the constant temperature of 90 ℃ for 1 hour to obtain a sample, fully cleaning the sample, and performing vacuum drying at the temperature of 60 ℃ for 2 hours to obtain the target catalyst Co-Mo-B/CoMoO_4-x/CF。

Characterization of phase/structure/elemental chemistry of the catalyst:

the X-ray diffraction and scanning electron micrographs of the hydrothermal sample and the heat-treated sample obtained in this example are shown in fig. 1 and fig. 2, respectively. According to XRD analysis (FIG. 1), the synthesized hydrothermal sample was CoMoO₄·nH₂O crystal phase, the heat treated sample is CoMoO₄A crystalline phase. The observation of a scanning electron microscope (a and b in fig. 2) shows that the hydrothermal sample is a 3D nano flower ball structure formed by self-assembly of nano sheets, the appearance of the nano flower ball is not obviously changed after high-temperature heat treatment, but the observation of a transmission electron microscope (a and b in fig. 3) shows that a large number of nano holes are generated on the nano sheets, and the aperture size is 2-4 nm.

Scanning electron microscope observation (fig. 2c) shows that the morphology of the nano flower ball is still basically maintained after the heat-treated sample is subjected to boronization treatment, but the nano sheet is thinned and more holes are generated. According to XRD analysis (figure 1), the target catalyst after boronization treatment is in an amorphous or nanocrystalline phase. Transmission electron microscopy (c, d in FIG. 3) further confirmed the presence of amorphous phase in the target catalyst, but co (OH) was also found as a by-product₂And (4) generation of a crystalline phase.

Co was observed⁰Relative to the standard sample, Mo⁰And B⁰Positive shift relative to the standard sample occurs, thereby demonstrating the formation of a Co-Mo-B alloy in the target catalyst; mo was observed⁴⁺And Mo⁵⁺Signal, and defect oxygen signal, thereby evidencing the presence of defect structure oxides in the target catalyst. Based on the above analysis, it was confirmed that the target catalyst was foamed cobalt-supported Co-Mo-B/CoMoO_4-xA catalyst.

Electrocatalytic performance test of the catalyst:

FIG. 5B shows the Co-Mo-B/CoMoO target catalyst_4-xCompared with a hydrothermal sample and a heat treatment sample, the double-electric-layer capacitance of the target catalyst is respectively improved by 2.5 times and 6.5 times, namely the electrochemical specific surface area is respectively improved by 2.5 times and 6.5 times, and the obvious improvement of the electrochemical specific surface area is due to dehydration reaction in the heat treatment process and reduction reaction in the boronization process; according to the impedance spectrum test result (figure 5c), the charge transfer resistance of the target catalyst is greatly reduced compared with that of the hydrothermal sample and the thermal treatment sample, and the stress is caused by in-situ precipitation of Co-Mo-B phase with metal characteristics and CoMoO_4-xThe presence of defective structures in the substrate.

FIG. 6 shows Co-Mo-B/CoMoO_4-xThe stability test result of the/CF catalyst shows that the activity of the catalyst is not obviously declined after 100-hour constant current measurement, which indicates that the catalyst has excellent stability.
