In this work, a trimetallic NiMoV catalyst is developed for the hydrogen evolution reaction and characterized with respect to structure, valence, and elemental distribution. The overpotential to drive a 10 mA cm current density is lowered from 94 to 78 mV versus reversible hydrogen electrode by introducing V into NiMo. A scalable stand-alone system for solar-driven water splitting was examined for a laboratory-scale device with 1.6 cm photovoltaic (PV) module area to an up-scaled device with 100 cm area. The NiMoV cathodic catalyst is combined with a NiO anode in alkaline electrolyzer unit thermally connected to synthesized (Ag,Cu) (In,Ga)Se ((A)CIGS) PV modules. Performance of 3- and 4-cell interconnected PV modules, electrolyzer, and hydrogen production of the PV electrolyzer are examined between 25°C and 50°C. The PV-electrolysis device having a 4-cell (A)CIGS under 100 mW cm illumination and NiMoV-NiO electrolyzer shows 9.1% maximum and 8.5% averaged efficiency for 100 h operation.
在这项工作中,开发了一种用于析氢反应的三金属NiMoV催化剂,并对其结构、价态和元素分布进行了表征。通过将V引入NiMo中,驱动10 mA cm电流密度的过电位相对于可逆氢电极从94 mV降低到78 mV。对一种用于太阳能驱动水分解的可扩展独立系统进行了研究,该系统从具有1.6 cm光伏(PV)模块面积的实验室规模装置扩展到具有100 cm面积的放大装置。NiMoV阴极催化剂与NiO阳极在碱性电解槽单元中结合,该单元与合成的(Ag,Cu)(In,Ga)Se((A)CIGS)PV模块热连接。在25°C至50°C之间研究了3电池和4电池互连PV模块、电解槽以及PV电解槽的产氢性能。在100 mW cm光照下具有4电池(A)CIGS且配备NiMoV-NiO电解槽的PV电解装置在100小时运行中显示出9.1%的最大效率和8.5%的平均效率。
