Description

Based on Ni (OH) 2 Method for preparing formic acid and hydrogen by converting PET waste plastics through redox medium
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of electrocatalysis, relates to a technology for recycling waste plastics by electrocatalytic upgrading, and in particular relates to a catalyst based on Ni (OH) 2 A method for preparing formic acid and hydrogen by converting PET waste plastics through redox media.
Background
With the continuous development of industrialization process, a series of environmental pollution and energy crisis problems are caused by the massive consumption of traditional fossil energy sources such as traditional coal, petroleum and natural gas. In this large background, the development and development of clean and efficient environmental remediation technologies and the exploration of clean and sustainable energy supplies are currently facing and in need of solution in countries around the world. Plastics are an important class of polymer products, and since the first report of synthetic phenolic plastics in 1907, plastics have been widely used in daily life due to their light weight, durability, ease of processing, and the like. However, the unreasonable disposal and accumulation of a large amount of waste plastics not only causes serious pollution to the environment and endangers the health and safety of the earth and human beings, but also causes serious waste of carbon resources because a large amount of waste plastics cannot be reasonably recycled. In view of this, development and utilization of clean and efficient environmental energy catalytic technology for upgrading recovery processing waste plastics to produce high value chemicals is of great importance.
At present, scientists in all countries are actively exploring and developing a cleaning technology capable of recycling waste plastics. Among them, as a technology that can be performed at normal temperature and pressure, an electrocatalytic conversion technology that can be driven by green renewable electric energy is widely used in the fields of energy storage and conversion. It is notable that plastics are generally polymeric products obtained by polycondensation or polyaddition reactions, which are rich in carbon, hydrogen and oxygen elements. Among them, polyethylene terephthalate (PET) plastics can be converted into terephthalate and ethylene glycol monomers by alkaline hydrolysis due to the abundant ester groups. Recently, researchers have attempted to apply electrocatalytic technology to the conversion of PET waste plastics, successfully achieving the preparation of formate from the anodic oxidation hydrolysis product ethylene glycol, while simultaneously achieving co-production of hydrogen at the cathode. Therefore, the electrocatalytic technology is of great significance in the recovery and preparation of high-added-value chemicals and fuels from waste plastics.
Notably, in the electrocatalytic conversion of PET with co-production of formic acid and hydrogen, in order to avoid diffusion of the product to the counter electrode to be consumed, the electrolyzer is generally divided into two compartments, a male compartment and a female compartment, by means of an expensive ion exchange membrane. However, the use of the ion exchange membrane not only increases the cost of electrocatalytically converting PET waste plastics, but also greatly increases the internal resistance of the system due to the slow ion transmission capacity of the ion exchange membrane, thereby increasing the energy consumption of the conversion system. Therefore, the development of a membraneless electrolysis technology for conversion and utilization of PET waste plastics has important significance for reducing cost investment and energy consumption. Nickel hydroxide, which has excellent charge storage capacity and redox cycle stability, has been applied by researchers to the decoupling water splitting reaction (patent application number: 201510799110.3), and in the absence of ion exchange membranes, has been achieved to split the anodic water oxidation and cathodic hydrogen evolution reactions in different time and space. However, the anodic water oxidation half reaction not only requires higher energy consumption, but also has lower product utilization value. The invention oxidizes the hydroxyl oxygen nickel electrode in the electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution process, is directly applied to converting PET plastic hydrolysate, realizes high-selectivity conversion of the hydrolysate into formic acid without any external energy input, and simultaneously avoids high-energy-consumption water oxidation reaction. The method utilizes nickel hydroxide redox medium to co-produce formic acid and hydrogen by electro-catalytic conversion of PET, and successfully cuts the PET into different time and space, thereby realizing upgrading and recycling of PET waste plastics in a membraneless device.
