有机体系中纳米TiO2 / ZrO2修饰电极的制备及电催化活性

The complexes Ti(OCH₂CH₂O)₂ and Zr(OCH₂CH₂O)₂ were directly synthesized by using HOCH₂CH₂OH dissolution in 50 mL flask. The nano-ZrO₂ / TiO₂ powders were prepared by a direct sol-gel synthesis using the above solution and followed by drying at 400 ℃ for 2 h. The complexes were characterized by FTIR and ¹H NMR. XRD and TEM were used to investigate the structure of nano-ZrO₂ / TiO₂. The results show that the complexes containing ^-OCH₂CH₂O^- group could prevent the precursor from agglomeration and sintering during the hydrolysis and calcination process. The ZrO₂ / TiO₂ powders of 20～35 nm was thus obtained in a high purity. The highly active nano-ZrO₂ / TiO₂ modified electrode was prepared by using daubing and calcination. The electro-catalytic activities of this electrode in (COOH)₂ were investigated. The discharge current of nano-ZrO₂ / TiO₂ electrode increased obviously. In preparative electrolysis under optimal conditions, the average yield and current efficiency for HOOC-CHO were 84.7% and 91.6 %, respectively.
