Description

Method for improving electric oxidation current efficiency of multi-carbon alcohol and reducing poisoning of electrocatalyst
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of direct alcohol fuel cells, in particular to a method for promoting the breaking of multiple C-C bonds when a multi-carbon alcohol is used as a liquid fuel for electro-oxidation, converting more chemical energy into electric energy, improving the electro-oxidation current efficiency of the multi-carbon alcohol and reducing the poisoning of an electrocatalyst.
Background
The use of fuel cell power can continuously convert chemical energy stored within fuel molecules directly into electrical energy without the restriction of the carnot cycle. Compared with hydrogen, the liquid fuel has a series of advantages of convenient storage and transportation, wide source, renewability and the like. The core technology of power generation using a liquid fuel cell is to promote the liquid fuel to generate oxidation reaction on the surface of an electrode catalyst, release electrons, and convert chemical energy stored in fuel molecules into electric energy.
Compared with single-carbon liquid fuels (such as formic acid and methanol) and double-carbon liquid fuels (such as ethanol) which are widely researched at present, the multi-carbon liquid fuel has higher theoretical energy density and lower cell membrane permeation rate, thereby having wide application prospect in the field of fuel cell research. However, in the actual electrooxidation, multiple C — C bonds in the molecules of the polyols are difficult to break, which severely limits the conversion of most of the chemical energy stored therein to electrical energy, and reduces the electrooxidation current efficiency. For the reasons, the current efficiency of the multi-carbon liquid fuel generated in the electro-oxidation process is often low, and the application of the multi-carbon liquid fuel in the field of direct liquid fuel cells is limited.
Disclosure of Invention

2) the mixed fuel electrolyte obtained in the step 1) is applied to a three-electrode reaction system, and a constant potential is applied to a working electrode, so that fuel molecules are subjected to an electro-oxidation reaction on the surface of a catalyst, an increased electro-oxidation current is obtained, and the toxicity of toxic intermediate products generated by the electro-oxidation of the multi-carbon alcohol to the catalyst is weakened.
In step 1), the multi-carbon alcohols include alcohols having a number of carbon atoms in a molecule of three or more; the active fuel category comprises liquid fuel with higher electrocatalytic activity, such as ethanol, formic acid and the like; the kind of the supporting electrolyte includes all electrolytes which can enhance the conductivity of the solution but do not participate in the electrode reaction by themselves; mixing the multi-carbon alcohol and the active fuel in proportion, namely mixing a single active fuel with the multi-carbon alcohol, or mixing two or more active fuels with the multi-carbon alcohol; the molar ratio of the multi-carbon alcohol to the active fuel is 1: 0-1; if the active fuel adopts X types, and X is a positive integer greater than 0, the molar ratio of the multi-carbon alcohol to the active fuel 1, the active fuel 2, … and the active fuel X is 1: 0-1, … (0-1).
In the step 2), the three-electrode reaction system is a three-electrode catalytic system of a working electrode, a counter electrode and a reference electrode of the surface modified electrode catalyst; applying a constant potential on the working electrode to carry out electrooxidation on the mixed fuel to obtain an improved electrooxidation current and weaken the poison of toxic intermediate products generated by electrooxidation of the multi-carbon alcohol on the catalyst; the electrode catalyst can be a noble metal catalyst, a non-noble metal catalyst and a noble metal-non-noble metal composite catalyst; the applied constant potential can be (0.1-1.2) V (v.s.Ag/AgCl), preferably (0.1-0.6) V (v.s.Ag/AgCl); the toxic intermediate products generated by the electric oxidation of the multi-carbon alcohol comprise CO and multi-carbon compounds generated by that only-OH is oxidized and C-C bonds are not broken.
The invention aims to improve the electrooxidation current efficiency of the multi-carbon alcohol and weaken the poisoning of the intermediate product generated by incomplete oxidation of the multi-carbon alcohol to the catalyst. The invention promotes the fracture of multiple C-C bonds of the multi-carbon alcohol in the electro-oxidation process and weakens the poisoning of the intermediate product of incomplete oxidation of the multi-carbon alcohol to the catalyst by means of influencing the electro-adsorption and electro-oxidation processes of the multi-carbon alcohol by mixing with the active fuel.

(1) the method does not need to synthesize a new catalyst or modify the catalyst, thereby avoiding complex treatment process and saving time cost and money cost.
(2) Obviously promoting the breakage of multiple C-C bonds of the multi-carbon alcohol in the electro-oxidation process and obtaining obviously improved current efficiency.
(3) Effectively reducing the poisoning of incomplete oxidation products generated in the electro-oxidation process of the multi-carbon alcohol to the catalyst.
