Abstract

将制氢与间歇性可再生能源驱动的生物质电催化转化结合起来,是获得氢能和高附加值化学品的有效途径. 然而, 开发具有明确结构-性能关系的强效多功能电催化剂仍然是一个相当大的挑战. 本文巧妙地开发了一种阳离子和阴离子共掺策略, 以协同调控NiFe层状双氢氧化物的电子结构, 明显促进了催化活性位点的暴露, 从而提高了葡萄糖电催化转化制氢的性能. 实验结果表明, 杂原子Cr和S的加入促进了Ni(OH)2 (Ni2+)/NiOOH (Ni3+)的可逆氧化还原, 显著提高了葡萄糖的电荷转移和吸附能力. 在葡萄糖电催化转化反应中, 达到10 mA cm−2的电压仅为1.219 V, 比析氧反应低0.226 V. 此外, Cr,S-NiFe/NF在双电极电解槽中表现出显著的葡萄糖电催化转化性能和产氢性能, 达到10 mA cm−2电流密度的电势仅为1.337 V, 同时在阳极产生增值的甲酸盐, 产氢率较电解水制氢提高了9倍. 该生物质转化制氢耦合电催化剂提高了制氢效率, 并获得了高附加值化学品.
