Description
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of catalyst preparation, and particularly relates to a preparation method of a monatomic germanium and small-atom cluster.
Background
Catalysis is an important research area in science and engineering. When the catalyst size is reduced to single atoms and clusters containing only a few atoms, the significant electronic structural changes brought about by quantum size effects can result in single atom catalysts and atomic cluster catalysts exhibiting activities, selectivities and stabilities that differ from those of conventional nanocatalysts. The research of the material not only provides an ideal model and a research platform for understanding the mechanism of catalytic reaction from a molecular (atomic) level, but also is expected to become a novel catalyst with industrial catalytic application potential.
On the one hand, the noble metal catalyst is not suitable for large-scale industrial application due to high cost. Other high efficiency catalysts that are relatively abundant and inexpensive are of concern. For example, diatomic iron-nickel alloy is used for efficient hydrogen evolution, and a ruthenium monoatomic alloy catalyst is used for an efficient oxygen evolution catalyst, so that industrialization of hydrogen production by water electrolysis is promoted. Monatomic iron is also used in hydrogen fuel cells. On the other hand, from the viewpoint of preparing a monatomic catalyst and an atomic cluster catalyst, the realization of dispersed monatomic or small atomic clusters can be realized only under the condition of low metal loading, which affects the large-area preparation of the catalyst and greatly limits the catalytic efficiency. Meanwhile, the increase of metal loading can lead metal atoms to be aggregated into larger nano particles, so that the catalytic effect of single-atom catalysis and atom cluster is not achieved. To achieve high loading of single atoms and clusters requires careful design of the support surface, providing both good binding sites to anchor the metal atoms and blocking regions to limit the formation of metal nanoparticles.
Germanium, which is located in the fourth main group of the periodic table, is relatively abundant in the earth's crust and has exhibited excellent catalytic properties in catalyzing polyester production, PET polycondensation, and synthesizing diamond. However, the experimental preparation method of the monatomic germanium, particularly the monatomic germanium with two-dimensional order and high surface density and the monatomic germanium cluster, has no related report so far, and greatly limits the further research on the catalytic property of the monatomic germanium. As a novel monatomic material, the obtainment of monatomic germanium and few-atom germanium clusters with two-dimensional order is a precondition and condition for the research and practical application of the catalytic properties of the monatomic germanium and few-atom germanium clusters. Therefore, it is important to find a method for preparing high-quality monatomic germanium and low-atomic germanium clusters.

Meanwhile, due to the abundant surface electronic state, the preparation method is simple, the raw materials are easy to obtain, and the method has great application potential for the design and manufacture of novel catalysts.
