Description

Preparation method and application of mesoporous carbon sphere coated zirconium supported catalyst
Technical Field
The invention relates to a preparation method and application of a mesoporous carbon sphere wrapped zirconium supported catalyst, and belongs to the technical fields of material synthesis, electrocatalysis and fine chemical engineering.
Background
Ammonia is not only an important chemical raw material, but also an ideal energy storage and transportation carrier, and has high hydrogen content (17.7 wt%) and high energy density (3 kW.h) -1 ) And easy compression and transportation (boiling point-33.5 ℃), and the like, and plays a role in the strategic layout of agricultural production fertilizers and emerging energy sources. Through more than a century of development, the technology of industrial synthesis of ammonia currently mainly adopts the Haber-Bosch process. However, the reaction condition of the process is harsh, and the process needs to be carried out under the conditions of high temperature and high pressure (17.5-20 MPa, 400-500 ℃), so that the reaction energy consumption is about 1-2% of the global energy consumption, and simultaneously, the emission of hundreds of millions of tons of carbon dioxide is caused, thereby causing serious energy crisis and environmental pollution problems. Therefore, the search for sustainable green ammonia synthesis technology has become a worldwide topic of research.
The electrocatalytic nitrogen reduction reaction (eNRR) is driven by renewable energy sources, and ammonia is generated by the reduction reaction of water and nitrogen in air in a normal temperature and normal pressure water solution system. Because the reaction takes water as a hydrogen source, the reaction device can be modularized, distributed and has zero CO 2 And the emission can be carried out according to the requirement to synthesize ammonia in a green way. Thus, eNRR is considered to be an ideal efficient sustainable ammonia synthesis pathway. However, since normal temperature and pressure water system eNRR is a typical gas-liquid-solid reaction system, there are various technical bottlenecks, such as the problems of ultrahigh chemical stability of nitrogen molecules, dominant hydrogen evolution side reaction and the like, so that activity and selectivity of eNRR synthetic ammonia are very low. Therefore, the design of the novel high-efficiency and stable electrocatalyst has important research significance for improving the performance of electrocatalytic synthesis of ammonia.
The phosphotungstic acid with Keggin structure is used as a multifunctional novel green catalyst, has a unique space geometry structure, can accurately anchor modified metal species on four-fold hollow sites formed by rich oxygen coordination sites, and adjusts the electronic structure of the catalyst, so that electrons in polyanion of the phosphotungstic acid migrate to the introduced metal species to form electron-rich active centers, thereby improving the adsorption and activation capacity of nitrogen. Meanwhile, the hydrogen reduction performance of the phosphotungstic acid is poor, the combination of hydrogen and modified metal species can be weakened, and the hydrogen evolution competition reaction rate is reduced. Therefore, the metal species modified phosphotungstic acid catalyst has excellent characteristics in promoting nitrogen activation and suppressing hydrogen evolution side reactions. In addition, the d orbitals of the transition metal zirconium species can be combined with nitrogen, so that N (identical to N) bonds are effectively weakened, the combination capacity of the zirconium species to hydrogen is weak, and the improvement of the selectivity of electrocatalytic nitrogen reduction is facilitated. Based on the above analysis, zirconium metal species modified phosphotungstic acid has the potential to develop into a highly efficient eNRR catalyst.
On the other hand, considering that the phosphotungstic acid-based catalyst is very soluble in polar solvents, and the eNRR system is a typical gas-liquid-solid three-phase interfacial reaction, the phosphotungstic acid-based catalyst is very soluble in aqueous electrolyte in the eNRR process, the reactivity is low, and the like, the application of the phosphotungstic acid-based catalyst in the field of water-based electrocatalysis limited. In order to improve the stability of the phosphotungstic acid in a polar solvent, a proper carrier is searched for to fix the phosphotungstic acid-based catalyst on the carrier, the acting force between the catalyst and the carrier is enhanced to effectively inhibit the dissolution of the phosphotungstic acid-based catalyst, and the stability of the catalyst in an aqueous electrolyte is improved.
Carbon nano materials and composite materials thereof have attracted wide attention in the fields of biomedicine, catalysis, absorption, energy storage and the like because of the characteristics of high chemical stability and thermal stability, good conductivity, inherent hydrophobicity, easy surface chemistry modification and the like of the carbon materials. Compared with microporous or nonporous carbon materials, the mesoporous hollow carbon spheres have the advantages of low density, porous shell, accessible internal space, high surface area, large pore volume and the like, so that the mesoporous hollow carbon spheres become a potential excellent carrier. In addition, in view of the strong adsorption force of the mesoporous hollow carbon spheres on the phosphotungstic acid-based catalyst, the phosphotungstic acid-based catalyst can be wrapped in the carbon spheres as a protective layer under the action of space limitation, so that the dissolution of the catalyst is greatly reduced. Meanwhile, the surface of the carbon sphere has the advantage that abundant mesopores can fully expose the active sites of the catalyst, so that the introduction of the mesoporous hollow carbon sphere as a carrier in the zirconium metal species modified phosphotungstic acid catalyst has wide application prospect. However, at present, the sizes of the cavity, the aperture and the shell thickness of the hollow carbon sphere of the carrier are difficult to accurately regulate, so that the phosphotungstic acid-based catalyst cannot be effectively immobilized in the carbon sphere, and the performance stability of the electrocatalytic nitrogen reduction synthesis ammonia is greatly influenced.

fig. 3 is a schematic structural diagram of a mesoporous carbon sphere coated zirconium supported phosphotungstic acid prepared according to the preparation method provided in embodiment 1 of the present invention, from which it can be seen that a zirconium species supported phosphotungstic acid catalyst is anchored in the pores of the mesoporous carbon sphere in a highly dispersed manner;
FIG. 4 shows a mesoporous carbon sphere-coated zirconium supported catalyst and a mesoporous carbon sphere-free zirconium supported catalyst prepared according to the preparation method of example 1 of the present inventionElectrocatalytic nitrogen reduction activity comparison chart and performance stability comparison chart of the catalyst; the electrocatalytic nitrogen reduction performance test was performed in an H-type reactor, the electrocatalytic process using a three electrode system, the catalyst was assembled into a working electrode by example 1, a platinum sheet as a counter electrode, and saturated silver/silver chloride as a reference electrode; before performance test, purified nitrogen is blown into electrolyte (lithium sulfate with pH value of 4), when the nitrogen in the electrolyte reaches saturation, different bias voltages can be applied to react, and all potentials are relative to a standard hydrogen electrode; as can be seen from FIG. 4a, compared with the zirconium-phosphotungstic acid catalyst without the mesoporous carbon sphere coating, the zirconium supported phosphotungstic acid with the mesoporous carbon sphere coating has more excellent electrocatalytic ammonia synthesis performance, and the ammonia synthesis yield can reach 106+/-3 mu g h -1 mg cat. -1 The faraday efficiency reaches 81.8+/-3%, the faraday efficiency value has obvious advantages in the values reported in the same system work at present, and as can be seen from fig. 4b, under the effect of space limitation, after four-wheel stability experiment test, the electrocatalytic nitrogen reduction performance of the mesoporous carbon sphere-coated zirconium species-loaded phosphotungstic acid is basically unchanged, and good ammonia synthesis performance stability is shown.
The foregoing description is only illustrative of the present invention and is not intended to limit the scope of the invention, and all equivalent structures or equivalent processes or direct or indirect application in other related arts are included in the scope of the present invention.
