Principles of Self-Repairing Ability of Tripodal Ligand-Stabilized Hybrid Cobalt Hydroxide Nanosheets for Alkaline Water Electrolysis.
CHEMSUSCHEM(2023)
摘要
Self-repairing catalysts are promising new materials for achieving long lifetime of alkaline water electrolyzers powered by renewable energy. Catalytic nanoparticles dispersed in an electrolyte were deposited on the anode to repair a catalyst layer by electrolysis. A hybrid cobalt hydroxide nanosheet modified with tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane on the surface (Co-ns) was used as a catalyst. Assuming a pseudo-first-order process, the rate constant of an electrochemical deposition was linearly correlated with the electrode potential during electrolysis. Thus, it is expected that the repair of the catalyst is automatically controlled by changes in the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) overpotential. The essential step of the electrochemical deposition was the anodic oxidation of Co2+ to Co3+ . Surface modification of Co-ns protects Co2+ against the autooxidation of Co2+ caused by the dissolved oxygen. The redox properties and organic modification of Co-ns make them well-suited for the self-repairing of anode catalysts.
