中文摘要

氢能具有能量密度高、无碳无污染等诸多优点，被视为最具前景的清洁能源之一。阴离子交换膜（AEM）电解水制氢结合了碱性电解水的非贵金属催化剂成本低，以及质子交换膜电解水（PEM）结合可再生能源、高纯度的优点，具有良好的应用前景。而设计高性能非贵金属析氢催化剂对于AEM电解水制氢技术的产业化至关重要。石墨烯作为一种二维层状结构材料，具有优异的导电性和比表面积，是可用于析氢催化剂材料的优异载体。本文采用两步水热法在还原氧化石墨烯（rGO）载体上负载了镍钼纳米颗粒，成功制备出NiMo@rGO复合材料。表征结果显示NiMo@rGO具有不规则的层状结构，而NiMo颗粒在rGO上均匀分布。其中性能最好的NiMo@rGO-1在1 M KOH溶液中分别以−10 mA/cm²和−50 mA/cm²电流密度电解，对应析氢过电位仅为93 mV和180 mV。在恒电流电解测试中运行32 h仍保持稳定。催化剂的良好性能可归因于rGO有效阻止了NiMo纳米颗粒的团聚并与NiMo纳米颗粒协同作用。同时该复合材料具有高本征活性、大比表面积以及低电阻的特性。本文为制备高性能低成本的电解水析氢催化剂提供了可靠方案。

Abstract

Abstract

Exploring and designing a high-performance non-noble metal catalyst for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) are crucial for the large-scale application of H₂ by water electrolysis. Here, novel catalysts with NiMo nanoparticles decorated on reduced graphene oxide (NiMo@rGO) synthesized by a two-step hydrothermal method were reported. Physical characterization results showed that the prepared NiMo@rGO-1 had an irregular lamellar structure, and the NiMo nanoparticles were uniformly dispersed on the rGO. NiMo@rGO-1 exhibited outstanding HER performance in an alkaline environment and required only 93 and 180 mV overpotential for HER in 1.0 M KOH solution to obtain current densities of −10 and −50 mA·cm⁻², respectively. Stability tests showed that NiMo@rGO-1 had a certain operating stability for 32 h. Under the same condition, the performance of NiMo@rGO-1 can be comparable with that of commercial Pt/C catalysts at high current density. The synergistic effect between NiMo particles and lamellate graphene can remarkably promote charge transfer in electrocatalytic reactions. As a result, NiMo@rGO-1 presented the advantages of high intrinsic activity, large specific surface area, and small electrical impedance. The lamellar graphene played a role in dispersion to prevent the aggregation of nanoparticles. The prepared NiMo@rGO-1 can be used in anion exchange membrane water electrolysis to produce hydrogen. This study provides a simple preparation method for efficient and low-cost water electrolysis to produce hydrogen in the future.
