Description

Transition metal catalyst and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of hydrogen production by electrocatalytic water decomposition, in particular to a transition metal catalyst and a preparation method thereof.
Background
Excessive consumption of fossil fuels causes problems of global warming and environmental pollution, and hydrogen is considered as an ideal substitute for fossil fuels as a green energy source. From the aspect of the hydrogen production method, the hydrogen production by water electrolysis is a safe and environment-friendly way, and can be combined with renewable energy sources such as solar energy, wind energy and the like so as to improve the utilization efficiency of the energy sources. So far, the hydrogen evolution performance of platinum-based materials in all pH solutions is still the best. However, the high price and susceptibility to poisoning of platinum-based materials have hindered their large-scale commercial use. An ideal hydrogen evolution electrocatalyst should have low cost, high stability characteristics, and operate efficiently over a wide pH range. The challenge in developing pH-universal electrocatalysts stems from the different reaction mechanisms of the hydrogen evolution reaction in different chemical environments. In an acidic medium, the material is coupled to protons (H) 3 O + ) The adsorption capacity determines the rate of the hydrogen evolution reaction. In neutral and alkaline media, however, protons are supplied by water molecules, so that the electrocatalyst is required to have good water molecule adsorption and dissociation capabilities in the rate-limiting step of the reaction, the Volmer step. This task is extremely challenging but meaningless in order to obtain electrocatalysts with hydrogen evolution performance exceeding that of platinum-based materials over all pH ranges, taking into account intrinsic thermodynamic properties and structure-activity relationships.
Supported metal catalysts, in which both the support and the metal are very important, have played a critical role in various nanotechnology applications. As active centers, changes in the size of the metal (from single atoms, clusters to nanoparticles) generally affect surface electronegativity, energy, and interfacial reactivity. Meanwhile, the support is generally not inert, which can modulate the spatial distribution of the metal, charge transfer, interfacial perimeter, and metal morphology through metal support interactions. Specifically, orbital hybridization and charge transfer between the carrier and the metal adjust the d-band center of the metal, and the adsorption capacity of the reaction intermediate is enhanced, so that the energy barrier is reduced, and the rate determining step is accelerated. Carbon materials, carbon nitrides, sulfides, nitrides, and the like can be used as the support for the metal. However, most of them cannot achieve hydrogen evolution activity and long-term stability beyond platinum carbon, limited by interfacial instability such as metal particle agglomeration and sensitivity to pH change.
