Description
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of new material field, and relates to a method for reducing nitrogen in the atmosphere into ammonia (NH) at room temperature and normal pressure3) Of two-dimensional amorphous MoOxThe green preparation method of (1).
Background
N2The reserves in the earth's atmosphere are abundant, 78% of the air is nitrogen, but most animals and plants cannot directly utilize the free nitrogen, and only reduce and convert the nitrogen into NH3Can be utilized. Ammonia, as an important chemical, plays an important role in the global industry, industrially every yearProducing about 1.5 million tons of ammonia, consuming about 2% of the total energy reserve. NH over a hundred years3The production uses the Haber-Bosch process, and the annual yield of ammonia synthesized by the method is about 108And each ton accounts for about 20-25% of the ammonia consumed by the earth all the year. This process requires heating the nitrogen and hydrogen molecules to about 400 deg.C and pressurizing to about 150-350 atm, while an iron-based catalyst is required to promote ammonia gas generation.
N2 + 3H2→2NH3
Although this reaction is exothermic, higher temperatures are required to accelerate the reaction kinetics. However, this shifts the equilibrium towards the reactants, reducing the conversion, which can only be relieved by increasing the pressure, with a conversion of ammonia of only 10-15% throughout the process. This process consumes a large amount of hydrogen and energy, which are derived from the combustion of fossil fuels, and undoubtedly increases the carbon emission, and burdens resources and the environment. Thus establishing green and environmentally sustainable NH3The production strategy is of great significance. The reduction of nitrogen to ammonia by electrochemical catalysis is an environmentally friendly ammonia production process and one of the promising options in the energy and chemical industry.
The electrochemical synthesis method of ammonia can take nitrogen and water as raw materials at normal temperature and normal pressure, and reduce the nitrogen into ammonia by applying voltage. The method has the advantages of simple equipment, easily obtained raw materials, low energy consumption and less pollution, thereby being widely concerned. However, the current electrochemical method for synthesizing ammonia is not put into industrial use, mainly because the conversion rate needs to be improved, and the search for a high-efficiency and stable catalyst is one of the key points of the technical development.
Two-dimensional nanomaterials are a recent research hotspot, and because of their unique electronic transmission characteristics, large specific surface area, rapid ion transmission and other advantages, they provide opportunities for basic and technical research in various fields including catalysis, energy storage, sensing and electronic devices such as field effect transistors and logic circuits.
