As technology matures, biomass can be converted to a variety of platform molecules, such as furfural, 5-hydroxymethylfurfural, glycolaldehyde, and the like. Further, researchers have transformed these platform molecules into a broad range of commodity chemicals.

Based on this study, paper Joule 2019,3,1937-1948 converts glucose-derived glycolaldehyde to ethanol using 6MPa hydrogen at about 500K over a Pt-based catalyst with ethylene glycol as an intermediate. In patent (CN 108602737 a), ethylene glycol is produced by hydrogenating glycolaldehyde molecules using about 10MPa hydrogen at about 150 ℃. However, the above thermochemical reaction process has disadvantages of high reaction energy consumption, use of high-pressure hydrogen gas as a hydrogen source, and reliance on a noble metal catalyst.

Detailed Description
The present invention will be further illustrated by the following examples, but is not limited to the examples. Experimental methods, in which specific conditions are not specified in examples, are generally available commercially according to conventional conditions as well as those described in handbooks, or according to general-purpose equipment, materials, reagents, etc. used under conditions suggested by manufacturers, unless otherwise specified.
The present invention is described in detail below with reference to examples to provide a method for preparing a catalytic electrode and a method for preparing ethanol and ethylene glycol by electrocatalytically converting biomass-derived molecules, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the invention.
Example 1
Preparation of C for electrocatalytic conversion of biomass-derived molecules 2 The preparation method of the high-activity Cu metal electrode of the alcohol comprises the following steps:
step 1: 25.8g of copper sulfate was accurately weighed and dissolved in 40mL of water (copper sulfate concentration: 4.04M), to obtain a precursor solution A.
Step 2: in a two-electrode cell, copper foam was used as the working electrode, the electrode area was 6cm 2 . Graphite rod as counter electrode, solution A as electrolyte, at 10mA cm -2 The reaction was carried out at a reduction current for 1000s.
Step 3: and (3) respectively cleaning the working electrode in the step (2) by using deionized water and ethanol, and drying by using nitrogen to obtain the Cu catalyst electrode.
Fig. 1 is a scanning electron microscope (fig. 1 a) and a transmission electron microscope (fig. 1 b) of the high-activity Cu metal electrode prepared in example 1. As can be seen from fig. 1a, the electrode surface is an island-like structure of particles. The island-like particle structure increases the electrode reactive sites. From FIG. 1b, it can be seen that the 0.21nm lattice fringes correspond to the Cu (111) crystal plane, indicating that the synthesized high-activity Cu metal electrode is elemental copper. The raman spectrum and DFT calculation result show that the surface of the high-activity Cu metal electrode is more prone to adsorb aldehyde groups of biomass-derived molecules (e.g., glycolaldehyde), thereby being more beneficial to hydrogenation of the aldehyde groups to ethylene glycol products. At the same time, DFT calculation also indicates that the high-activity Cu metal electrode has lower energy barrier for controlling the reaction speed of glycol production by glycolaldehyde hydrogenation, which is also beneficial to the conversion of reactants into glycol.
Example 2
Preparation of C for electrocatalytic conversion of biomass-derived molecules 2 The preparation method of the high-activity Ni metal electrode of the alcohol comprises the following steps:
step 1: 27.1g of nickel sulfate was accurately weighed and dissolved in 50mL of water to obtain a precursor solution B (nickel sulfate concentration: 3.5M).
Step 2: in a two-electrode cell, foam nickel was used as the working electrode, the electrode area was 20cm 2 . Graphite rod as counter electrode, solution B as electrolyte, at 20mA cm -2 The reaction was carried out at a reducing current for 600s.
Step 3: and (3) respectively cleaning the working electrode in the step (2) by using deionized water and ethanol, and drying by using nitrogen to obtain the high-activity Ni catalyst electrode.
Example 3
Preparation of C for electrocatalytic conversion of biomass-derived molecules 2 The preparation method of the metal oxide electrode of the alcohol comprises the following steps:
step 1: the precursor solution C (potassium hydroxide concentration: 1M) was obtained by dissolving 50mL of potassium hydroxide in each 2.805g of water. The precursor solution D (dipotassium hydrogen phosphate concentration: 420.2mM, potassium dihydrogen phosphate concentration: 37.6 mM) was obtained by dissolving each 18.3g of dipotassium hydrogen phosphate and 1.28g of potassium dihydrogen phosphate in 250mL of water.
Step 2: in a two-electrode cell, copper foam was used as the working electrode, with an area of 6cm -2 . Graphite rod as counter electrode, solution C as electrolyte, at 10mA cm -2 Current densityThe oxidation reaction was carried out at a temperature of 600s.
Step 3: and (3) respectively cleaning the working electrode in the step (2) by using deionized water and ethanol, and drying by using nitrogen for standby.
Step 4: and (3) roasting the electrode obtained in the step (3) in a muffle furnace at the temperature of 250 ℃ for 2 hours.
Step 5: in a three-electrode electrolytic cell, the electrode obtained in the step 4 is used as a working electrode, a graphite rod is used as a counter electrode, a calomel electrode is used as a reference electrode, a solution D is used as an electrolyte, and the concentration of the electrolyte is 20mA cm -2 The reduction reaction was carried out at a current density for 600s.
Step 6: cleaning the working electrode in the step 5 by deionized water and ethanol respectively, and drying by nitrogen to obtain Cu x O metal oxide electrode.
By means of the electrooxidation of step 2, a precursor of the catalytic electrode is first obtained, which has a high oxidation state. Further, the metal oxide electrode having a mixture phase is finally obtained by the firing in step 4 and the reduction treatment in step 5. FIG. 2 shows Cu obtained in example 3 x Scanning electron microscopy (fig. 2 a) and transmission electron microscopy (fig. 2 b) of the O-metal oxide electrode. As can be seen from fig. 2a, the electrode surface is in a coral strip-like structure. As can be seen from FIG. 2b, the planar spacing of the lattice fringes is 0.24nm and 0.21nm, corresponding to Cu, respectively 2 O (111) and Cu (111) planes. This means that in addition to the elemental copper, cu is also present in the electrode 2 O. The results of Raman spectrum and DFT calculation show that Cu x The O-metal oxide electrode surface is more prone to adsorb hydroxyl groups of biomass-derived molecules (e.g., glycolaldehyde), thereby facilitating hydrogenolysis of hydroxyl groups. At the same time DFT calculations also indicate Cu x The O metal oxide electrode has lower energy barrier for controlling the speed of the hydroxyl hydrogenolysis reaction of glycolaldehyde, which is also beneficial to the conversion of glycolaldehyde into intermediate acetaldehyde. The intermediate product acetaldehyde is further hydrogenated to produce the target product ethanol.

The reaction temperature was room temperature. The reaction time was 80 minutes.
Step 3: the solution after completion of the reaction was analyzed by high performance liquid chromatography in the same manner as in example 4. The Faraday efficiency of the target product ethanol exceeds 70%.
Example 6
The method for preparing glycol by electrocatalytically converting biomass-derived molecules is specifically as follows:
step 1:3g of glycolaldehyde, 18.3g of dipotassium hydrogen phosphate and 1.28g of potassium dihydrogen phosphate were dissolved in 250mL of water to obtain a solution E.

Using Cinhua 760 electrochemical workstation at a constant 100mA cm -2 The reaction was carried out at current. The area of the working electrode is 1cm -2 . The reaction temperature was room temperature. The reaction time was 100 minutes.

FIG. 3 is a graph showing the change in conversion of a reaction substrate and yield of a product with the amount of coulombs of the reaction in example 6. It can be seen from the graph that the glycolaldehyde conversion rate and the glycol yield increase linearly with the amount of charge. When the charge exceeds 300C, there is no further dramatic increase in substrate turnover rate and ethylene glycol yield, suggesting that most of the reaction substrate has been converted. Finally, the conversion rate of glycolaldehyde can reach 83%, and the yield of glycol reaches 78.9%. The selectivity of the electrode to ethylene glycol is as high as 95.1%.
Example 7
The method for preparing glycol by electrocatalytically converting biomass-derived molecules is specifically as follows:

Example 8
The method for preparing ethanol by electrocatalytically converting biomass-derived molecules is specifically as follows:
step 1:3g of glycolaldehyde, 18.3g of dipotassium hydrogen phosphate and 1.28g of potassium dihydrogen phosphate were dissolved in 250mL of water to obtain a solution E.
Step 2: at the position ofIn an H cell separated into a cathode cell and an anode cell by an ion exchange membrane, the electrode obtained in example 3 was used as a working electrode, a platinum mesh was used as a counter electrode, a calomel electrode was used as a reference electrode, a solution E was used as an electrolyte, and the concentration of glycolaldehyde as a reaction substrate was 200mM. Using Cinhua 760 electrochemical workstation at a constant 100mA cm -2 The reaction was carried out at current. The area of the working electrode is 1cm -2 . The reaction temperature was room temperature. The reaction time was 7000 seconds.
Step 3: solutions of different amounts of reaction charge were analyzed by high performance liquid chromatography in the same manner as in example 4.
FIG. 4 is a graph showing the change in conversion of a reaction substrate and yield of a product with the amount of coulombs of the reaction in example 8. It can be seen from the graph that the glycolaldehyde conversion rate increases linearly with increasing charge. The primary product is acetaldehyde. When the charge amount reached 300C, the acetaldehyde yield reached a peak. As the charge is further increased, the intermediate acetaldehyde is converted to ethanol. Finally, the conversion of the substrate glycolaldehyde reached 85.6% and the ethanol yield was 68.7%. The electrode selectivity to ethanol was 80.2%.
As can be seen from the above examples, the invention can prepare non-noble metal catalytic electrodes with different element compositions and oxidation states by adjusting the conditions of electrodeposition, electro-oxidation and electro-reduction. The conversion of biomass-derived molecules into ethanol and ethylene glycol is achieved by an electrocatalytic process. Compared with the traditional thermocatalytic method, the electrochemical method has the advantages of mild reaction conditions, renewable power as energy input, low-cost metal catalyst, high selectivity and the like.
