摘要
尿素电解法以其在含尿素废水处理及制氢领域的节能环保前景而受到广泛关注,关键在于设计高效稳定的尿素电氧化催化剂.文中设计开发一种VC(碳化钒)改性的Ni-VC/MWCNTs(Ni基纳米复合催化剂)用于尿素电氧化可达到343.3 mA/mg的优异电流密度,其与Ni/MWCNTs催化剂相比具有更小的Tafel斜率和更低的电荷转移电阻.此外,在稳态条件下,Ni-VC/MWCNTs催化剂的电流密度也得到提高.X射线光电子能谱测试表明引入VC使得Ni更易失电子生成活性组分NiOOH,从而增强尿素电氧化性能.此外,在尿素电解池中,达到10 mA/cm2的电流密度,以Ni-VC/MWCNTs作为阳极催化剂所需的电压比Ni/MWCNTs降低了近100 mV.结果表明Ni-VC/MWCNTs是一种优良的尿素电解催化剂,有望实现高效制氢和废水资源化利用.
Abstract
Urea electrolysis has attracted wide attention for its energy-saving and environmentally friendly prospects in the fields of urea-containing wastewater treatment and hydrogen production.The key issue is the design of efficient and stable catalysts for urea electrooxidation.The synthesis of VC(vanadium carbide)modified nickel-based catalysts supported on multi-walled carbon nanotubes(Ni-VC/MWCNTs)for UOR(urea electrooxidation reaction)was reported.Ni-VC/MWCNTs has a superior current density of 343.3 mA/mg.Particularly,Ni-VC/MWCNTs has a smaller Tafel slope and a lower charge transfer resistance compared with Ni/MWCNTs.Moreover,the current density under the steady state of Ni-VC/MWCNTs is also enhanced.XPS(X-ray photoemission spectroscopy)demonstrates that the introduction of VC makes Ni more susceptible to lose electrons to form the active component NiOOH,which improves the UOR performance.Furthermore,in the urea electrolytic cell,the voltage required to supply 10 mA/cm2 with Ni-VC/MWCNTs as the anode is reduced by nearly 100 mV compared with Ni/MWCNTs.The result suggests Ni-VC/MWCNTs is an efficient catalyst for urea electrolysis,which is expected to high-efficiency hydrogen production and resourceful utilisation of wastewater.
