  • 摘要: 建立了一种低能耗制氢耦合系统,以碳布(CC)为三维导电基底,采用一步水热法制备二硫化钨纳米片(CC@WS2)作为双功能催化剂,使阴极低能耗产氢反应和阳极水合肼(N2H4)电氧化降解能够同步发生。CC@WS2复合材料在电催化析氢反应(Hydrogen Evolution Reaction,HER)和肼氧化反应(Hydrazine Oxidation Reaction,HzOR)过程中表现出优异的催化性能,该材料在电流密度为-10 mA/cm2的HER过电位为100.15 mV,优于多种过渡金属硫化物,显著提高了氢气的生成效率。此外,该材料在阳极区域通过电化学氧化途径有效降解水合肼污染物。实验表明,在N2H4的浓度为0.7 mol/L时,阳极HzOR实现了环保、安全的高效率污染物降解。该耦合体系在宽pH范围内均表现出优异的催化性能和稳定性,得益于HzOR的低热力学电位和CC@WS2的高效催化活性,使该电解水耦合体系在-10 mA/cm2电流密度下仅需0.65 V制氢槽电压,相较于传统电解水降低了1.18 V,实现了低能耗制氢。

     

    Abstract: A low-energy consumption hydrogen production coupling system was established, utilizing carbon cloth (CC) as a three-dimensional conductive substrate. Tungsten disulfide nanosheets (CC@WS2) were synthesized via a one-step hydrothermal method to serve as a bifunctional catalyst, enabling simultaneous low-energy hydrogen production at the cathode and electrochemical oxidation degradation of hydrazine hydrate (N2H4) at the anode. In various media, CC@WS2 demonstrated the exceptional catalytic activity for both the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and HzOR. Specifically, it delivered an overpotential of 100.15 mV for HER at a current density of -10 mA/cm², which is superior to that of various transition metal sulfides, thus significantly enhancing the hydrogen production efficiency. Additionally, the material effectively degraded hydrazine pollutants in the anode region through an electrochemical oxidation pathway. Experiments showed that, at a concentration of 0.7 mol/L N2H4, the anode HzOR achieved high-efficiency pollutant degradation in an environmentally-friendly and safe manner. The coupling system exhibited the outstanding catalytic performance and stability across a wide pH range. Benefiting from the low thermodynamic potential of HzOR and the high catalytic activity of CC@WS2, the cell voltage of the water electrolysis coupling system was only 0.65 V at a current density of -10 mA/cm², which was significantly reduced by 1.18 V, compared to traditional water electrolysis, thereby achieving low-energy consumption hydrogen production.
