Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of nano materials and the technical field of catalyst preparation. In particular to a preparation method of nickel copper cobaltate nano particles and application thereof in catalyzing ammonia borane hydrolysis to produce hydrogen.
Background
The depletion of fossil energy has forced the rise of new energy, and hydrogen energy is considered as one of the most promising energy sources in the future as a novel energy source with the advantages of safety, environmental protection, abundant sources, wide application range, zero emission and the like, and has a considerable status in the aspects of hydrogen fuel automobiles, batteries, illumination, urban life and the like. The key to the development of hydrogen energy is the search for suitable hydrogen storage materials. The hydrogen storage material mainly comprises chemical hydride, adsorption hydrogen storage material and metal hydride. Hydrogen in ammonia borane (NHBH, AB for short) has high energy density (142 MJ/kg), high hydrogen content (19.6 wt%), and is considered to be an extremely efficient hydrogen storage material. The catalyst hardly reacts at room temperature, but under the action of the catalyst, 1molAB can release 3mmol of hydrogen almost through hydrolysis, and the hydrogen release rate is greatly different along with the excellent performance of the catalyst, so that the research and development of a novel efficient catalyst for preparing hydrogen through ammonia borane hydrolysis are hot spots in the current novel energy research.
The nickel copper cobaltate is used as one of transition metal oxides, and has the characteristics of special lattice structure, high specific surface area, good conductivity and the like, so that the nickel copper cobaltate is widely applied to the fields of lithium ion battery materials, supercapacitors, photocatalysis, electrocatalysis and the like.
Chinese patent (CN 201810016038.6, 2018) proposes a preparation method of a foamed nickel-loaded echinoid copper cobaltate nano material: the copper cobaltate nano material with the sea urchin structure is prepared by taking cobalt nitrate hexahydrate, copper acetate monohydrate, ammonium fluoride and urea as raw materials and absolute ethyl alcohol and deionized water as solvents through hydrothermal growth and high-temperature calcination methods. The sea urchin-shaped copper cobaltate nano material loaded by the foamed nickel prepared by the method has uniform and ordered sea urchin shape, and shows excellent electrochemical performance and good rate performance, especially when the calcination temperature is about 550 ℃. But the method is directly obtained by growing on a foamed nickel current collector, which is not favorable for scale production.
