Description

Preparation method and application of doped carbon aerogel
Technical Field
The invention belongs to CO 2 The technical field of electrocatalytic reduction, and more particularly relates to a preparation method and application of doped carbon aerogel.
Background
At present, the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere exceeds the standard, so that serious greenhouse effect is caused, and if no effective regulation and control means are available, 500ppm can be expected by 2050, and ecological civilization of the world is threatened. If an effective method can be found to convert carbon dioxide into high value added fuels such as methane or alcohols, this can both slow down the greenhouse effect and address a portion of the energy crisis. The common carbon dioxide conversion utilization mode at present is thermocatalytic conversion, photocatalytic conversion and electrocatalytic conversion. However, for thermocatalytic conversion, carbon dioxide is a nonpolar linear molecule, its thermodynamic properties are extremely stable, and the cleavage of the c=o bond requires overcoming a large energy barrier, and a large driving force must be provided to the reaction system during the conversion. The photocatalytic conversion may be driven by inexpensive and readily available solar energy, but the catalyst is also subject to the potential for photo-corrosion. Compared with other conversion modes, the electrocatalytic technology has stronger controllability, and the whole process can not generate extra carbon dioxide gas, so that the problem of greenhouse effect can be solved from the source.
For electrocatalytic reduction of carbon dioxide, the preparation of a highly efficient catalyst is important. It is well known that noble metals (e.g., au, ag) and their alloys are highly effective as CO 2 The catalysts are reduced because they have excellent activity and selectivity. However, the high cost and scarcity of these precious metals have prevented their large-scale use. It is a long-felt goal to develop efficient, inexpensive and stable catalysts with low noble metal loading or no noble metal material.
The carbon-based catalyst is focused by a plurality of researchers due to the advantages of wide sources, low preparation cost, good conductivity, contribution to industrial application and the like, and is widely applied to hydrogen evolution reaction, oxygen reduction reaction and electrocatalytic reduction of CO 2 Reactions, etc., are among the most promising electrocatalysts. However, the pure carbon material does not have a catalytic active site, and needs to be modified to improve the catalytic performance. The loading of metal ions on carbon-based materials helps to improve the catalytic activity, but the active sites of the metal ions directly loaded on the carbon-based catalysts are easy to fall off at present, thereby leading to the stability thereofPoor.
