基体形貌对钌铱氧化物电极电解析氯性能影响分析

Morphology Effects of TiO2 Mediated Layer on Electrolytic Chlorine Evolution Performance of Ru-Ir Oxide Electrodes

  • 摘要: 通过碱性水热刻蚀法在钛基体表面获得了不同形貌的TiO2中间层,从而提高钌铱氧化物电极的电化学活性。SEM结果显示,引入TiO2中间层后,电极形貌由原来的龟裂状变为纳米片、纳米线等不同形貌的多层结构,且裂纹消失。线性扫描分析表明,电极的析氯电位由原来的1.171 V (vs.SCE)减小到1.162 V (vs.SCE),在2 mA·cm-2和20 mA·cm-2电流密度下的电势差由原来的0.516 V减小到了0.454 V,电极的电催化析氯性能显著提高。伏安电量计算结果显示,相比无中间层的钌铱氧化物电极,引入TiO2纳米线中间层的电极的伏安电量提高了3.78倍(由3.83 mC·cm-2提高到了18.3 mC·cm-2);同时电极的电荷传递阻抗也有所减小,电极电化学活性增大。通过引入不同形貌的TiO2中间层,钌铱氧化物电极的析氯性能和电化学活性均有明显提高。

     

    Abstract: TiO2 mediated layers with various morphologies such as nanosheets and nanowires have been realized through the alkaline hydrothermal method to improve the electrochemical performance of Ru-Ir oxide electrodes. After introducing the TiO2 mediated layers, the electrode cracking morphology turns to the hierarchical structures with nanosheets and nanowires, and the cracks on the electrode surface disappear. Linear sweeping voltammetry analysis indicates that the chlorine evolution potential of electrode reduces from 1.171 V (vs. SCE) to 1.162 V (vs. SCE), and that the chlorine evolution polarizability decreases from 0.516 V to 0.454 V when the electric current densities are 2 mA·cm-2 and 20 mA·cm-2. The voltammetry charge calculation shows the amount of voltammetric charge for TiO2-mediated Ru-Ir oxide electrode increases to 18.3 mC·cm-2, which is 4.78 times as much as that of Ti/Ru-Ir electrode (3.83 mC·cm-2). Meanwhile, the charge transfer impedance decreases. Introducing the TiO2 mediated layers with various morphologies can improve the electrochemical activity of electrode and enhance the electrocatalytic chlorine evolution ability.
