泡沫镍载钌催化剂硼氢化钠水解制氢性能研究

针对硼氢化钠粉末状制氢催化剂易流失、物料传输难、反应产物易覆盖、催化剂利用率低的问题,采用化学镀制备了泡沫镍负载的Ru催化剂,借助扫描电子显微镜(SEM)、能量散射光谱(EDS)、X射线光电子光谱法(XPS)等技术分析了泡沫镍载Ru催化剂使用前后的微观形貌结构与表面元素组分,研究了镀液浓度、镀液温度、硼氢化钠反应液温度对催化剂的催化制氢活性的影响,剖析了催化剂循环使用过程中活性衰减的原因。结果表明:泡沫镍载体的使用提高了Ru催化剂的催化活性,有效地改善了NaBH_4水解制氢体系中反应物和产物的物料传输,催化反应的活化能为40.8kJ/mol。循环使用20次后,催化剂的催化活性仍为初次活性的76.3%,显示了良好的催化稳定性。

Durability test of Ru/Ni-foam catalyst for hydrolysis hydrogen generation of sodium borohydride

Ni-foam-supported Rucatalyst was prepared by chemical plating.Several techniques such as SEM,EDS and XPS were used to analyze the microstructure and composition before and after hydrogen generation (HG).The effects of the concentration and temperature of plating solution and temperature of NaBH4 solution on hydrogen generation rate were investigated.The results show that Ru is uniformly dispersed and mass transfer in NaBH4 solution is improved with well-structured Ni-foam.The measurement of the HG rate shows that the activity of Ru/Ni-foam catalyst still remains 76.3％ of the initial activity after 20 cycles,exhibiting good durability.The activation energy for the reaction is 40.8 kJ/mol.
