Therefore, the method takes the high polymer material containing glucose units as the raw material, adds the transition metal catalyst and the pore-forming agent, carries out roasting carbonization under the protection of inert gas, anchors the active metal on the surface of the carbon material, and obtains the multi-active center.
In a specific embodiment, the invention firstly pretreats the raw material to make the raw material molecules appropriately cross-linked and rearranged so as to improve the stability of the raw material molecules in the subsequent high-temperature roasting carbonization process. The glucose unit-containing polymer is selected as a raw material because the glucose unit-containing polymer is easily converted into carbon with high graphitization degree in the subsequent process due to the hydroxyl contained on the surface, and the higher the graphitization degree is, the better the conductivity is and the more stable the chemical property is, and the factors are beneficial to improving the electrocatalytic performance of the prepared porous carbon-based nitrogen reduction catalyst. In a specific embodiment, the raw materials are natural polymers containing glucose units, such as chitin, cyclodextrin and the like, the natural polymers are green, environment-friendly, renewable and low in cost, and the problem of high cost of the catalyst in the conventional electrochemical synthesis of ammonia is solved.
In a specific embodiment, the method for pretreating the high polymer raw material containing the glucose unit comprises a hydrothermal method and a pre-oxidation method, the pretreated high polymer material containing the glucose unit is converted into an amorphous carbon material, the carbon material in the state has a low graphitization degree, and carbon atoms bonded by sp3 bonds tend to form a sp2 hybridized carbon six-membered ring structure at high temperature, so that the pretreated high polymer material can be conveniently subjected to catalytic graphitization in subsequent steps.
In a specific embodiment, the step S1 specifically includes the steps of:
s100, carrying out hydrothermal pretreatment on the high polymer raw material containing the glucose unit at 200-220 ℃ for 5-6 h to obtain a pretreated high polymer material.
In a specific embodiment, the method adopts a hydrothermal method to pretreat the raw material, and pretreats the high molecular raw material containing glucose units under a hydrothermal condition for a period of time, so that raw material molecules are properly crosslinked and rearranged under a heated condition, and the stability of the raw material molecules in a subsequent high-temperature carbonization process is improved. In a specific embodiment, the hydrothermal temperature is 200-220 ℃, the hydrothermal time is 5-6 h, carbon with a high aromatizing degree can be formed under the condition, and the stability of the carbon in a subsequent high-temperature carbonization process is improved.
In a specific embodiment, the step S1 may further include the steps of:
s100', pre-oxidizing the high polymer raw material containing the glucose unit for 1-5 hours at 200-300 ℃ to obtain the pretreated high polymer material.
In a specific embodiment, the raw material pretreatment can also be a direct air pre-oxidation method instead of a hydrothermal method, so that the raw material is subjected to oxidative crosslinking and rearrangement among heated molecules in the air, and the stability of the raw material in the subsequent high-temperature carbonization process is improved. In a specific embodiment, the pre-oxidation temperature is 200-220 ℃, the pre-oxidation time is 5-6 h, carbon with higher aromatizing degree can be formed under the condition, and the stability of the carbon in the subsequent high-temperature carbonization process is improved.

and S2, mixing the pretreated high polymer material with a pore-forming agent and a catalyst, and carbonizing under the protection of inert gas to obtain the porous carbon material.
In a specific embodiment, after the pretreatment of the polymer raw material containing glucose units, the pretreated polymer material, the pore-forming agent and the catalyst are added into a mortar for grinding and mixing uniformly, and then high-temperature carbonization is performed in a tube furnace under the protection of inert gas. In the foregoing steps, the pretreated polymer material has an amorphous carbon structure, and under a high temperature condition, carbon atoms bonded by sp3 bonds in the raw material tend to form sp2 hybridized carbon or aromatic carbon, which can provide electron pairs to the catalyst, and the catalyst serves as an electron acceptor to anchor the active metal on the surface of the carbon material, and is converted into the carbon material completely composed of carbon six-membered rings as the carbonization time is prolonged. In a specific embodiment, the inert gas is one of nitrogen and argon.
In specific implementation, the catalyst is a graphitization catalyst, that is, the catalyst can promote graphitization of the calcined product at a lower temperature or can improve the graphitization degree of the product at the same temperature. The catalyst is transition metal inorganic salt, after the catalyst is added into the pretreated high polymer material, the high polymer material is adsorbed on the surface of the catalyst through coordination or electrostatic adsorption acting force, the carbon-containing organic matters are gradually cracked, rearranged and fused at high temperature to form large aromatic rings, and the large aromatic rings are gradually stacked to form ordered microcrystals, namely a graphitized structure.

In a specific embodiment, in this embodiment, a pore-forming agent is further added to the pretreated polymer material, so that micropores and mesopores are formed in the porous carbon material, thereby increasing the specific surface area of the prepared porous carbon-based nitrogen reduction catalyst, and when the catalyst is used as a nitrogen reduction catalyst, reactants can permeate into the catalyst through the micropores and the mesopores, thereby greatly improving the catalytic activity of the catalyst. In one embodiment, the pore-forming agent is one of zinc chloride and potassium hydroxide, for example, when the pore-forming agent is potassium hydroxide, the pore-forming agent potassium hydroxide etches the porous carbon material at high temperature to form carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide to generate micropores and mesopores.
In a specific embodiment, the mass ratio of the pretreated polymer material, the pore-forming agent and the catalyst is 1:1:1 to 1:5: 5.

Under the proportion, the prepared porous carbon material has higher specific surface area and higher graphitization degree, the high specific surface area is favorable for full contact of reactants and the catalyst, and the high graphitization degree enhances the conductivity and chemical stability of the catalyst, so that the prepared porous carbon-based nitrogen reduction catalyst has better initial potential and limiting current density compared with the existing nitrogen reduction catalyst.
In one embodiment, the preparation method of the porous carbon-based nitrogen reduction catalyst of the present invention further comprises the steps of:
and S3, washing the porous carbon material with acid and deionized water in sequence, and then drying by blowing to obtain the carbon-based nitrogen reduction catalyst.

After the carbonization, some metal simple substances and metal compounds mainly remain in the porous carbon material, and in this embodiment, the metal simple substances and metal compounds are mainly removed by acid washing. In one embodiment, the acid is one of sulfuric acid and hydrochloric acid, and the acid concentration is 0.5-3 mol/L. And after the acid washing is finished, washing the polymer material after the acid washing for 3-5 times by using deionized water so as to remove the residual acid of the metal simple substance and the metal compound.
