Description

Catalyst for electrochemical hydrogenation and preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of electrochemical hydrogenation, in particular to a catalyst for electrochemical hydrogenation and a preparation method and application thereof.
Background
The 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) is an important platform compound derived from biomass, and can be used as a raw material for preparing high-added-value 2, 5-furandimethanol (BHMF) through selective hydrogenation. As diol compounds containing furan rings, BHMF can be applied to the synthesis of functionalized polyesters, polyethers, resins and pharmaceutical intermediates.
Because of the simultaneous existence of various hydrogenation functional groups in the HMF structure, such as aldehyde groups, furan rings, hydroxyl groups and the like, the HMF has active properties and complex hydrogenation products. The conventional method in thermocatalysis is a direct hydrogenation method using hydrogen as a hydrogen source and a hydrogen transfer method using lower alcohol as a hydrogen source. The direct hydrogen hydrogenation involves the use of noble metals, the selectivity is difficult to regulate and control, in addition, hydrogen has the property of inflammability and explosiveness, hydrogen used each time is excessive, the solubility in a solvent is low, the utilization rate is low, and certain potential safety hazards exist. The hydrogen transfer process of lower alcohols is a hotspot of current research, and although the process has higher selectivity, the use of lower alcohols and high temperature reaction conditions lead to higher costs.
The electrochemical hydrogenation can realize the selective hydrogenation of HMF by taking water as a solvent and protons in the water as a hydrogen source at room temperature, and is the method with the mildest reaction condition and environmental protection. However, the activity and selectivity of the currently developed electrocatalyst remain poor, and the use of a noble metal catalyst is required to increase the reactivity, resulting in high reaction costs.
The related art discloses a copper-based catalyst prepared by adopting a method of electrochemically reducing CuO nanowires, which is subjected to electrocatalytic hydrogenation for 2-3 hours under the voltage of-0.4V to-0.5V, and then the reaction of preparing BHMF by carrying out HMF electrochemical hydrogenation. However, the concentration of HMF in the reaction is only 50mM, which increases the use of solvents and the cost of separation; the stability test time of the copper-based catalyst in the electro-hydrogenation reaction is still shorter (within 10 hours); moreover, the technology does not disclose the selectivity of the above reaction to BHMF, and it is well known in the art that the electro-hydrogenation reaction of HMF not only produces BHMF, but also may produce by-products such as dimethylol bifurfuryl alcohol (BHH), 2-Methylfurfural (MF), 2-methylfurfuryl alcohol (MFA), etc., as shown in the following reaction formula:
Therefore, there is a need to develop a catalyst for electrochemical hydrogenation which does not contain noble metals, but still has high reactivity, and has high selectivity and stability at high concentrations.
Disclosure of Invention
In view of the above, the present invention provides a catalyst for electrochemical hydrogenation, which solves the problems of low reactivity, selectivity and stability of the existing electro-hydrogenation catalyst, and only being applicable to low reaction concentration.
In a first aspect, the present invention provides a catalyst for electrochemical hydrogenation comprising: the Cu nanowire and the modifier loaded on the Cu nanowire are Keggin type heteropolyacid and/or heteropolyacid salt.
By loading Keggin type heteropolyacid and/or heteropolyacid salt on the Cu nanowire and modifying the Cu nanowire by using the type heteropolyacid and/or heteropolyacid salt, the overpotential of active hydrogen generated by the catalyst and hydrogen evolution can be greatly reduced, and the hydrogen coverage of the surface of the catalyst is improved, so that the reactivity, selectivity and stability of the catalyst are improved, and the catalyst provided by the invention can be suitable for higher reaction concentration.
In the embodiment of the invention, the Keggin type heteropolyacid is at least one of phosphomolybdic acid, silicotungstic acid and phosphotungstic acid.
In the embodiment of the invention, the Keggin-type heteropolyacid salt is at least one of sodium phosphomolybdate and ammonium phosphotungstate.
In embodiments of the present invention, the Cu nanowires may be derived from Cu (OH) 2 nanowires and/or CuO nanowires.
In an embodiment of the present invention, the mass ratio of the modifier to the Cu nanowire is 0.1% to 10%, preferably 0.5% to 2%.
In an embodiment of the present invention, the length of the Cu nanowires is 0.5 to 12 μm and the width is 50 to 200nm.
In a second aspect, the present invention provides a method for preparing the catalyst for electrochemical hydrogenation, comprising the steps of:
S1, dissolving a modifier in an alcohol solvent to form a modifier solution, wherein the modifier is Keggin type heteropolyacid and/or heteropolyacid salt;
S2, placing the CuO nanowire and/or the Cu (OH) 2 nanowire in the modifier solution, soaking for the first time, taking out, drying, and calcining under the condition of existence of protective gas or air to obtain a precursor; or placing the Cu nanowire in the modifier solution, soaking for a first time, taking out, drying, and calcining under the condition of existence of protective gas or air to obtain a catalyst;
And S3, performing electrochemical reduction by taking the precursor as a cathode, taking out the reduced cathode, cleaning, and drying to obtain the catalyst.
In an embodiment of the invention, the concentration of the modifier solution is 0.3mmol/L to 2mmol/L.
In the embodiment of the invention, the Keggin type heteropolyacid is at least one of phosphomolybdic acid, silicotungstic acid and phosphotungstic acid.
In the embodiment of the invention, the Keggin-type heteropolyacid salt is at least one of sodium phosphomolybdate and ammonium phosphotungstate.
In an embodiment of the present invention, the alcohol solvent is a lower alcohol, and may be at least one of methanol, ethanol, and isopropanol, for example.
In the embodiment of the invention, the first time is 20 min-4 h, preferably 30 min-1 h. The soaking time is too short, and the modifier cannot be fully loaded; the soaking time is too long and more modifier cannot be loaded, so that the soaking is only needed for 20min to 4h, and particularly, the soaking is more suitable for 30min to 1h.
In an embodiment of the present invention, the temperature of the drying in step S2 is 25 ℃ to 80 ℃. Too low a drying temperature can extend the drying time, while too high a drying temperature can result in too fast volatilization of the modifier solution, reducing the uniformity of the modifier clusters on the surface of the material. Therefore, it is most preferable to dry at 25℃to 80 ℃.
In the embodiment of the invention, the calcination temperature is 200-350 ℃, the temperature rising speed is 1-5 ℃/min, and the time is 1-5 h. The effect of calcination is to anchor the modifier by forming chemical bonds with the support, so that the calcination temperature cannot be too low, which would otherwise result in the formation of stable chemical bonds, but the calcination temperature cannot be too high, which would otherwise result in thermal decomposition of the modifier. The temperature rising speed cannot be too high, otherwise, temperature overshoot is caused, the temperature rising speed cannot be too low, and the preparation time is increased.
In an embodiment of the present invention, the shielding gas is at least one of nitrogen and argon.
In the embodiment of the invention, the Cu nanowire can be prepared by high-temperature reduction of the Cu (OH) 2 nanowire, wherein the reducing atmosphere is at least one of hydrogen, hydrogen-argon mixed gas containing at least 5% by volume of hydrogen and hydrogen-nitrogen mixed gas containing at least 5% by volume of hydrogen, and the reducing condition is about 300 ℃ for 3 hours.
In the embodiment of the invention, in the step S3, the reduction potential is-0.2V to-0.7V, and the reduction time is 20min to 1h. The purpose of electrochemical reduction is to convert CuO to metallic Cu, and if the reduction potential is too high, too many hydrogen bubbles are generated, leading to the shedding of the modifier on the Cu surface, and if the reduction potential is too low, the reduction time is prolonged. Correspondingly, the reduction time needs to be controlled between 20min and 1h, the reduction is incomplete due to too short time, and the catalytic effect is further affected, and the reduction time only wastes time and resources due to too long time.
In the embodiment of the invention, in the step S3, ag/AgCl is adopted as a reference electrode, a platinum electrode is a counter electrode, a cathode and an anode electrolyte in an H-type electrolytic cell are both 0.5M PBS (phosphate buffered saline) solution with pH=7, and the cathode and the anode electrolyte are separated by a Nafion 212 proton exchange membrane; the catholyte uses PBS buffer solution as electrolyte, and can keep the pH value relatively constant.
In a third aspect, the invention also provides the catalyst for electrochemical hydrogenation or the application of the catalyst for electrochemical hydrogenation prepared by the preparation method in the preparation of 2, 5-furandimethanol by catalyzing the electro-hydrogenation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural.
In a fourth aspect, the present invention also provides a process for preparing 2, 5-furandimethanol, comprising the steps of:
A catalyst is adopted as a cathode, the cathode is placed in a catholyte solution in which 5-hydroxymethylfurfural is dissolved, and negative voltage is applied to perform electrochemical hydrogenation reaction;
the catalyst is a catalyst for electrochemical hydrogenation provided according to the first aspect of the present invention or a catalyst for electrochemical hydrogenation prepared according to the preparation method provided according to the second aspect of the present invention.
The electrochemical hydrogenation reaction of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural is carried out by adopting the catalyst, the reaction activity is improved due to the great reduction of the overpotential of the catalyst, the selectivity of 2, 5-furandimethanol is also improved, the higher Faraday efficiency is still maintained even under the concentration of 1M HMF, and the operation is still stable for nearly 80 hours under the condition of larger current density.
In an embodiment of the invention, the electrode area of the cathode is 1cm 2.
In an embodiment of the invention, the negative voltage is-0.15V to-0.4V (vs RHE). In electrochemical hydrogenation, a certain negative voltage is applied to overcome hydrogenation overpotential, but if the absolute value of the potential is too low, hydrogenation reaction or too low current density cannot be realized, and if the absolute value of the potential is too high, serious hydrogen evolution side reaction may occur.
In an embodiment of the invention, the coulomb number of the electrochemical hydrogenation reaction is 101% of the theoretical coulomb number required for assuming complete conversion of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural. This provides a sufficient amount of charge to ensure as complete a reaction as possible.
In an embodiment of the invention, the molar concentration of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural in the catholyte is 100mM to 1000mM.
In an embodiment of the invention, the catholyte further comprises 0.5M PBS having ph=7.

Example 6
Using Metrohm Vionic electrochemical workstation and H-type electrolytic cell, PMA/Cu catalyst prepared in example 1 of the present invention or Cu catalyst prepared in comparative example 2 was used as cathode (electrode area 1cm 2), ag/AgCl was used as reference electrode, platinum mesh was used as counter electrode, 0.5M PBS or 0.5M PBS solution with 0.1M HMF dissolved therein was used as catholyte 20ml, anolyte was 0.5M H 2SO4 solution, and the two were separated by Nafion 212 proton exchange membrane, and Linear Sweep Voltammetry (LSV) was performed in the range of applying 0.05 to-0.5V relative to standard hydrogen electrode, to obtain the results shown in FIG. 3.

The HMF hydrogenation current density of the PMA/Cu catalyst at-200 mA cm -2 only needs to apply a potential of-0.273V, compared with the Cu catalyst which needs to apply a potential of-0.450V.

Experimental example 7
The method for preparing 2, 5-furandimethanol by catalyzing the electric hydrogenation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural provided by the embodiment comprises the following steps:
An H-type electrolytic cell is selected, the PMA/Cu catalyst prepared in the embodiment 1 of the invention or the Cu catalyst prepared in the comparative example 2 is used as a cathode (the electrode area is 1cm 2), ag/AgCl is used as a reference electrode, a platinum net is used as a counter electrode, a 0.5M PBS solution of 100mmolHMF is dissolved in catholyte solution, the anolyte solution is 0.5M H 2SO4 solution, the two solutions are separated by a Nafion 212 proton exchange membrane, a certain negative potential is applied to carry out HMF electrochemical hydrogenation reaction, and the reaction product is subjected to high performance liquid chromatography analysis after 150 coulombs, and the results are shown in tables 1-2 and figures 4-5.
TABLE 1 PMA/Cu conversion and Selectivity after 150 coulombs of the catalyst at different reaction potentials
TABLE 2 Cu conversion and Selectivity of the catalysts after 150 coulombs of reaction at different reaction potentials
From tables 1-2, it can be seen that the PMA/Cu catalyst still maintains extremely high selectivity to BHMF with increasing potential, but the selectivity of Cu catalyst to BHMF with increasing potential is greatly reduced, which indicates that the Cu catalyst has higher BHMF selectivity after PMA modification (i.e., PMA/Cu catalyst).
As can be seen from fig. 4, the main conversion product of the hydrogenation reaction of PMA/Cu catalyst against HMF in the corresponding potential range is BHMF, the hydrogen evolution faraday efficiency is only about 15%, and the BHMF production rate is as high as 5.5mmol cm -2h-1 at-0.4V, with little coupling byproduct BHH generated only at more negative potential. Thus, the Cu loaded PMA modifier has excellent selectivity and extremely high catalytic activity for preparing BHMF through hydrogenation (i.e. PMA/Cu catalyst).
As can be seen from fig. 5, the Cu catalyst, although the reaction rate was gradually increased with increasing potential, the reaction rate was much lower than that of the PMA/Cu catalyst, and the HMF hydrogenation by-product (especially the coupling product BHH) was greatly increased, and the selectivity of BHMF showed a decrease, thus indicating that the faraday efficiency of the Cu catalyst for BHMF was lower.

An H-type electrolytic cell is selected, the PMA/Cu catalyst prepared in the embodiment 1 of the invention is used as a cathode (the electrode area is 1cm 2), ag/AgCl is used as a reference electrode, a platinum mesh is used as a counter electrode, a 0.5M PBS solution with HMF dissolved in the catholyte is 20ml, the anolyte is a 0.5M H 2SO4 solution, the two solutions are separated by a Nafion 212 proton exchange membrane, an electrochemical hydrogenation reaction of HMF is carried out by applying a negative potential of 0.3V compared with a reversible hydrogen electrode, the coulomb number of the reaction is set to be 101% of the theoretical coulomb number required by assuming full conversion of HMF, and the result is shown in a table 3 and a figure 6 after the reaction is subjected to high performance liquid chromatography analysis.
TABLE 3 conversion and Selectivity of PMA/Cu catalysts after reacting a specific charge at different HMF concentrations
As can be seen from Table 3, at-0.3V (vs RHE) voltage, the PMA/Cu catalyst is able to maintain high HMF conversion and BHMF selectivity at high concentrations of 1M HMF.
As can be seen from fig. 6, the PMA/Cu catalyst further increased in faradaic efficiency of BHMF with increasing HMF concentration and suppressed the faradaic efficiency of hydrogen evolution reaction, and the faradaic efficiency of the coupling by-product BHH was as low as 2.5% even at HMF concentration of 1M. This demonstrates that the hydrogenation selectivity of PMA/Cu catalysts for BHMF is extremely tolerant to HMF concentrations.
The PMA/Cu-2, PMA/Cu-3, PMA/Cu-4 and SWA/Cu catalysts prepared in examples 2-5 of the present invention also exhibit substantially the same reaction laws and effects as those of example 6 (see FIGS. 7-10), and thus are not described in detail herein.
Example 9
The stability test of preparing BHMF by performing HMF electrocatalytic hydrogenation on the PMA/Cu catalyst prepared in the embodiment 1 of the present invention is shown in FIG. 11. The testing method comprises the following steps: using Metrohm Vionic electrochemical workstation, selecting H-type electrolytic cell, testing in a three-electrode system with Ag/AgCl as reference electrode, platinum mesh as counter electrode and PMA/Cu as working electrode, wherein catholyte is 0.25M PBS solution of HMF, configuring 250ml or 500ml catholyte in a single circulation mode, pumping electrolyte in a storage bottle into the electrolytic cell through peristaltic pump, and pumping the reacted electrolyte out of the electrolytic cell, so that the electrolyte in the electrolytic cell is always kept at 20ml. The electrochemical hydrogenation stability test of HMF was performed by applying a voltage of-0.3V to the cathode catalyst relative to a standard hydrogen electrode, setting the coulomb number of the reaction to 101% of the theoretical coulomb number required to assume full conversion of HMF, wherein the total volume of the cathode electrolyte in the first 3 cycles was 250ml and the total volume of the electrolyte in the second two cycles was 500ml. Electrolysis was suspended for 2 minutes every 58 minutes, and the peristaltic pump liquid circulation was maintained during the suspension of electrolysis so that the HMF concentration in the reaction cell tended to coincide with the concentration in the storage bottle. After the electrolyte of the single storage bottle reaches 101% of theoretical coulomb number, the fresh catholyte is replaced.
The result shows that the PMA/Cu catalyst prepared by the invention can maintain good stability within the time range of 80 hours.
