  • 摘要: 开发兼具高活性与长循环稳定性的三功能电催化剂(HER/OER/ORR)是推进清洁能源技术的关键挑战。本研究制备一种新型自支撑复合电极材料:碳布基底上原位生长的氮掺杂碳纳米管包裹Co颗粒催化剂(Co@CNT/CC),可同时作为锌空气电池和全解水系统的多功能电极。在 1.0 M KOH中,10 mA·cm−2的电流密度下,HER和 OER过电位分别为178 mV和295 mV。此外0.1 M KOH中ORR 的扩散极限电流密度为5.02 mA·cm−2,半波电位(E1/2)为0.793 V。基于该材料构建的全固态锌空气电池-水分解一体化装置,柔性锌空气电池功率密度达到116.2 mW·cm−2,在10 mA·cm−2电流密度下全解水的电压为1.581V,本研究为推动可再生能源驱动的高效能量转换-存储一体化装置提供新思路。

     

    Abstract: The development of three-functional electrocatalysts with high activity and long cycle stability to simultaneously drive hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is a key challenge to promote the development of clean energy technology. In the present study, a new type of self-supporting composite electrode material is introduced : nitrogen-doped carbon nanorod array supported Co particle catalyst (Co@CNT/CC) grown in situ on carbon cloth substrate, which can be used as a multifunctional electrode for zinc-air battery and total water splitting system.In 1.0 M KOH, at a current density of 10mA·cm−2, the HER overpotential is 178 mV and the OER is 295 mV. In addition, the diffusion limiting current density of ORR in 0.1 M KOH is 5.02 mA·cm−2, and the half-wave potential (E1/2) is 0.793 V.Based on this material, an all-solid-state zinc-air battery-water splitting integrated device was constructed. The power density of the flexible zinc-air battery reached 116.2 mW·cm−2, and the voltage for total water splitting at a current density of 10 mA·cm−2 was 1.581 V. This study provides a new idea for promoting efficient energy conversion-storage integrated devices driven by renewable energy.
