Definitions
- the invention relates to a gas diffusion electrode according to claim 1, an electrolysis plant for the reaction of carbon dioxide oxide according to claim 11 and a method for operating an electrolysis system according to claim 14.
- organic recyclables can be synthesized, which are from the carbon dioxide-containing exhaust gases from industry and fossil power plant processes on the basis of aqueous CCg electrolysis Won.
- a process step in this case is to reduce carbon dioxide to carbon monoxide by means of electrical energy to re, the carbon monoxide material as a variety of value and serves as a starting material for the further synthesis of or ganischen substances.
- electrolysis systems in the form of electrolysers are used, which as a central component a so-called gas diffusion electrode (GDE) aufwei sen.
- GDE gas diffusion electrode
- the object of the invention is a gas diffusion electrode and an electrolysis system with a gas diffusion onselektrode and a method for operating an electrolytic To provide sestrom, which has a longer life compared to the conventional structure.
- the gas diffusion electrode according to claim 1 has at least two layers, of which a first layer
- the gas diffusion electrode has a second layer with an open porosity, which comprises catalytically kende particles and which has a thickness between 1 ym and 50 ym.
- the first layer which has the electrically conductive tissue, essentially serves for mechanical stabilization of the gas diffusion electrode and for electrical contacting.
- This is a feature that is already known for the GDEs of the prior art. Unlike in the prior art, however, this tissue is surrounded by a hydrophobic polymer matrix. Hydrophobic materials are characterized in that they have a wetting angle to water or to the adjacent liquid electrolyte, which is greater than 70 °, preferably greater than 90 ° C. This prevents penetration of a liquid electrolyte into the first layer of the GDE. This in turn results in that the so-called salting is prevented by excretion of salts from the electrolyte in the matrix of the GDE.
- a second layer exists, in which catalytically present particles, in particular or, for example, silver particles, are present in an open porosity of the second layer.
- these catalytically active particles in particular silver particles, are hydrophilic and absorb the liquid electrolyte and lead it to an interface between the first layer and the surface second layer.
- the actual chemical reaction of a reactant takes place, where as by the electrically conductive fabric and that extends to the interface between the two layers, the Elekt ronen to implement the reactant made available who the. Further penetration of the liquid electrolyte beyond this interface into the first, hydrophobic layer is thereby avoided.
- the fabric consists of silver-containing, titanium-containing or kohlenstoff-term fibers or this includes. If the fabric is protected from wetting by the electrolyte by the polymer matrix except for the contact points to the second layer, it may also comprise nickel. Especially preferred is a fabric of silver fibers.
- a suitable matrix material for the polymer matrix of the first layer is polytetrafluoroethylene. This is sufficiently hydrophobic and it is suitable for enclosing the tissue as well as possible. Such enclosing of the fabric with the polymer matrix is therefore expedient, since in this way the catalytically and hydrophilically acting surface of the silver or possibly other fiber materials does not come into contact with the liquid electrolyte. As already mentioned, it is not desirable that a catalytic reaction between the electrolyte and the starting material takes place in the first layer, as this could in turn lead to salting of the first layer.
- polymer matrix is not to be understood as meaning a closed dense matrix, but instead, as already mentioned, a porous matrix which allows gaseous educts to diffuse through this polymer matrix and to an interface between the first layer and the second layer for reactive Implementation arrive.
- the first layer of the GDE preferably has a thickness which is between 50 ym and 1000 ym.
- the thickness of the first Layer is essentially determined by the strength of the individual fabric fibers. Fibers with a diameter of 100 ym are quite common, the mesh size is usually 0.3 mm. Greater fiber thicknesses and thus greater layer thicknesses of the first layer are quite possible, they serve a higher stability of the GDE, but cause the reactants, in particular gaseous starting materials must diffuse through a thicker layer, which in turn the electrochemical cal implementation between the first and the second layer is reduced.
- the thickness of the first layer is between 100 ym and 400 ym.
- the polymer matrix of the first layer prefferably has a porosity in which 95% of the pores have a diameter of between 0.1 ⁇ m and 2 ⁇ m, preferably between 0.6 ⁇ m and 0.9 ⁇ m. Pores of this size still allow good gaseous reactants to diffuse, but due to their hydrophobic character, they can not penetrate any or hardly any liquid electrolyte, even if this has an overpressure of 0.2 bar compared to the gas phase in the first layer, as occurs in larger cells and stacks can.
- the catalytically active particles of the second layer in this case have a diameter which is between 0.05 ym and 1 ym, preferably between 0.1 ym and 0.5 ym.
- Such fine particles, in particular silver particles in turn have a large catalytic surface at which the desired reaction can take place.
- the ka talytisch acting particles in particular silver particles on the one hand have a hydrophilic surface, which promotes the suction of the liquid electrolyte.
- the surface of the silver particles acts particularly catalytically for many desired reactions, for example for the conversion of carbon dioxide to carbon monoxide, wherein the disturbing reduction of the water to hydrogen suppressed becomes.
- the catalytically acting particles are mixed with hydrophilic binders, so that in this way a specific porosity can be set and a certain bond between the catalytically active particles takes place. It is expedient here if the wetting angle of these hydrophilic binders is less than 90 °.
- the pores of the second layer have a diameter which is between 0.1 .mu.m and 5 .mu.m or preferably between 0.1 .mu.m and 1 .mu.m.
- a cross section or a plan view is microscopically scanned and the pore Frequency or whose diameter is evaluated at the largest point of the diameter.
- Another component of the invention is an electrolysis plant for the electrolytic conversion of carbon dioxide with a gas diffusion electrode according to one of the preceding claims.
- Such an electrolysis plant has a gas space and an electrolyte chamber. Between the gas space and the electrolyte chamber, the gas diffusion electrode is built and separates them at least partially from each other. In this case, the second layer of the GDE is directed towards the electrolyte chamber, the first layer is in contact with the gas space. In this installation position, the described effect of the gas diffusion electrode is technically feasible. Furthermore, it is expedient for a contact web to contact the gas diffusion electrode electronically and to be in direct contact with uncoated parts of the tissue.
- a further component of the invention is a method for operating an electrolysis plant, wherein a carbon dioxide-containing starting material is introduced into a gas space, the educt being guided to a gas diffusion electrode and diffusing through a first layer of the gas diffusion electrode. in this connection it encounters a boundary layer of the first layer and a second layer of the gas diffusion electrode and is chemically converted there che.
- the second layer is a porous layer which is impregnated by a liquid electrolyte.
- the same effects and advantages already described for the gas diffusion electrode exist. This applies in particular with regard to the stated structure between the first and the second layer, wherein the first layer is hydrophobic and the second layer is preferably hydrophilic and still has catalytically active particles. At an interface between the hydrophilic layer and the hydrophobic layer, the desired reaction occurs, in particular for the reduction of carbon dioxide to carbon monoxide.
- Figure 1 is a schematic representation of the arrangement of a
- FIG. 2 shows an enlarged schematic illustration of the microstructure of the gas diffusion electrode in a boundary region between a first and a second layer
- Figure 3 is a schematic representation of the determination of
- FIG. 1 shows a schematic representation of a Ausschnit tes from an electrolysis plant 20 is shown.
- electro lysestrom 20 can also be an electrolyzer, in which case carbon dioxide is introduced as starting material and carbon monoxide is formed as a product.
- the electrolysis system 20 has a gas space 22 and an electrolyte chamber 24.
- the educt gas carbon dioxide is brought into the gas space 22 via a here not presented Darge supply device and is guided through the gas space 22 to a gas diffusion electrode (GDE) 2.
- GDE gas diffusion electrode
- the gas diffusion electrode 2 comprises essentially two layers, a first layer 4 and a second layer 6.
- the first layer 4 is characterized in that it performs a supporting function for the entire GDE 2, in it is a fabric 8, the example made of silver threads, embedded.
- the fabric 8 in turn, is surrounded by a polymer matrix 10, which, however, is porous, so that educts 28 in the form of carbon dioxide can diffuse in gaseous form through the first layer 4 as far as an interface 30 of the GDE 2.
- the boundary surface 30 marks the boundary between the first layer 4 and the second layer 6.
- the second layer 6 has a functional character in relation to the first layer 4. It is characterized by the fact that it also has a porosity, and on the Oberflä surface of the pores present catalytic particles 9 in the form of silver particles 9. Again, it is ei ne open porosity, but th with a liquid electrolyte 32 is infiltrated, wherein the liquid electrolyte 32 in particular in the electrolyte space 24 is present.
- Kontak t istsstege 26 are provided which lie positively against the GDE 2 and press them against a counterpart 27, is passed through the electric current to the fabric 8 and thus into the gas diffusion electrode 2.
- FIG. 2 shows an enlarged schematic section from the boundary region between the first layer 4 and the second layer 6, which is intended to explain schematically the microstructure of the GDE 2.
- This is a not to scale representation, especially the second layer is drawn relatively close.
- the first layer 4 is provided with the fabric 8 Darge, on the left side, the second layer 6 to know it. Both layers 4, 6 meet at the interface 30.
- the section shown in Figure 2 shows the right side again a section of two fibers of the fabric 8, which in this case is silver fibers.
- the lower fiber of the fabric 8 is positively connected to the contact web 26 in connection. Over this electrical current is introduced into the tissue 8, which in turn is thus available at the interface 30 and is used for a line of electrons in the GDE 2.
- the fabric 8 is protected by an inert matrix or coating Be.
- this is the polymer matrix 10, the particles of the polymer matrix 10 being illustrated here by way of example and for better distinction as triangles.
- another material can be used for coating the fabric 8 than that used for the porous matrix between the individual fibers of the fabric 8.
- the matrix 10 has an open Poosity 16 with individual pores 17, so that the educt 28, so the carbon dioxide can diffuse through the first layer 4 to the interface 30. This diffusion path is illustrated by the arrow 28, which is labeled with CO2. Further, it is important that the material of the polymer matrix 10 be a hydrophobic material to prevent liquid electrolyte 32 from penetrating beyond the interface 30 into the first layer 4 of the GDE 2. It is thus avoided that an electrochemical reaction takes place already in the first layer 4, which in the reaction equations, which apply to the conversion of carbon dioxide to Kohlenmo oxide in conjunction with the electrolyte, to salinization of the GDE 2 in the essential areas of the first Layer 4 would lead.
- hydrophobic is meant that the capillary forces acting on the liquid electrolyte 32 at the interfaces to the particles of the matrix 10 are sufficient to prevent this liquid electrolyte from penetrating into the layer 4. It is usually assumed that a hydrophobic property of a material surface 33 is then present. is when the wetting angle, which is shown schematically in the figure 3, is greater than 90 °. Preferably, however, the wetting angle is> 95 °. This is shown in Figure 3 on the left half of the illustration.
- the matrix 10 in the first layer 4 is designed so that they envelop the fibers of the fabric 8 as a protective layer, so that even when using silver threads for the fabric 8 no katalyti cal effect between the surface of the fabric 8 and the electrolyte or the carbon dioxide may occur as starting material 28. Therefore, the triangular matrix parts of the matrix 10 are shown schematically as representing a protective surface layer on the fabric fibers 8. In principle, however, this may also be a separate coating for the fabric 8, which is different from the rest of the matrix 10 with regard to the material.
- the layer on the silver fibers can also be porous as long as the pore radius is small enough to prevent wetting of the silver fibers with electrolyte in cooperation with the hydrophobic property of the matrix material.
- first layer 4 Two important properties of the first layer 4 are al so in addition to the load-bearing capacity of the fabric 8 in addition to the fact that they are as hydrophobic and as unreactive as possible.
- second layer 6 which is usually applied to the first layer 4 by a further Beschich processing method.
- This layer comprises in particular special catalytic particles 9, which are designed in particular in the form of silver particles.
- These particles 9 may preferably also be provided with a binding material, this is a hydrophilic binder 18, which is shown schematically in Figure 2 by oval particles.
- the surface structure of this hydrophilic binder 18 is characterized in that it has the best possible wetting over the flüssi conditions electrolyte solution 32, so that the layer 6 can be infiltrated by the electrolyte 32 infiltrated, even if from the gas side, an overpressure in the area from 0.2 bar prevails. This will be achieved especially when the surface of the hydrophilic binder has a surface tension, which causes the wetting angle to water or a water droplet 15 or compared to the liquid electrolyte according to Figure 3 right side is less than 85 °.
- These binders have medium 18, as the name implies, binding effect between the individual catalytically active particles 9 and depending on the structure and nature of the particles 9 for the production of the layer 6 optional but advantageous.
- the pore structure of the first layer 4 is designed so staltet that 95% of the pores have a diameter which is between 0.6 ym and 0.9 ym. In terms of process technology, it is not always possible without increased technical effort to set such an exact pore structure. Therefore, even larger pores up to 2 ym but also smaller pores up to 0.1 ym are also acceptable to a lesser extent.
- the layer thickness of the first layer 4 is determined in particular by the diameter of the fibers of the fabric 8.
- the second layer 6 can be configured substantially thinner than the first layer 4; finally, the second layer 6 is generally applied to the supporting first layer 4 by a specific coating method. Of the purely chemical processes, the second layer 6 could be very thin. Strictly speaking, a layer of kata lytically acting particles 9 would already be sufficient.
- each individual particle 9 of the second layer 6 has a diameter which lies between 0.05 ⁇ m and 3 ⁇ m, very particularly preferably between 0.1 ⁇ m and 0.5 ⁇ m.
- the porosity of the second layer 6, wherein here, too, 95% of the pores between 0.1 ym and 5 ym, preferably between 0.1 ym and 1 ym.
- hollow particles 9, which are not presented here are Darge, which have an inner, accessible from the outside hollow space with this pore size, are expedient. For larger external dimensions inevitably the pores between the particles are larger and then no longer appro net to keep the electrolyte against a pending gas pressure in the pore.
- reaction equations from:
- the electrons required for the reaction equations are led to the interface 30 via the contact web 26 and the tissue 8.
- the respective water is contained in high excess in the electrolyte, which penetrates via the second layer 6 to the interface 30.
- the carbon dioxide is supplied according to the path 28 in Figure 2, as well the carbon monoxide is removed via the same path through the first layer 4.
- the hydrogen carbonate ions or the hydroxide ions are returned in aqueous solution again through the layer 6 in the liquid electrolyte, this is replaced by a volume flow, so that in each case a constant concentration Kon. Because the second layer is thin, the transport of all electrolyte components is favored, so that a filling of bicarbonate is counteracted.
- the hydrophobic action of the matrix 10 of the first layer 4 prevents the electrolyte 32 from entering the first layer 4 and precipitating salts there after the reaction.
- the thickness of the second layer is comparatively small with 1 ym to 50 ym. On the one hand, it is ensured that sufficient electronic conductivity is available within the catalyst layer in order to ensure the supply of the GDE within the meshes of the conductive network 8. On the other hand, there is enough catalytic surface of the particles 9 in a range of diffused and dissolved carbon dioxide is available to ei ne current density in the desired form to reduce the Koh lendioxids to wear. Consequently, the second layer 6 can basically be produced from a few monolayers of particles 9 with a diameter of 0.1 ⁇ m. Even particles 9, in particular silver particles with a diameter of about 1 ⁇ m are still in the range of what leads to a successful catalysis, but they are not so well suited.
- Electrochemically active are essentially only the surfaces within a range from the interface into the layer 6, which is of the order of magnitude of a diffusion length of the dissolved carbon dioxide, ie in the range of 0.1 to 1 ⁇ m.
- the regions of the second layer 6 which extend farther into the electrolyte space bear insignificant C0 2 reduction compared to those regions of the layer 6 which are close to the interface 30.
- the development of hydrogen is due to a small voltage drop in the electrolyte of the GDE 2 only to a small extent when über- It is possible because hardly any concentration gradient occurs in the porous second layer 6 due to this small expansion.
- the thickness of the second layer 6 can be greater than the few particle layers mentioned is because even an electrical resistance in the layer 6 must be low enough to allow the electro-magnetic power supply between the individual ones To ensure contact webs 26.
- the pore diameter is actually lower than the already described upper limit of 1 ⁇ m.
- the pores Preferably, only the pores have a diameter of 0.1 .mu.m to 0.5 .mu.m, so that it is ensured that these pores 13 are filled with electrolyte 32 through the hydrophilic surface of the catalytically active particles 9, resulting in a diffusion barrier for the carbon dioxide leads.
- a stable gas-electrolyte interface is created at the boundary layer 30, which must be stable due to the hydrophobic pore structure in the first layer 4 on significant pressure differences of at least 0.2 bar.
- the catalytically acting particles 9 should therefore be anchored on the hydrophobic structure of the first layer 4 at the interface 30 as much as possible by an additional binder.
- the pore systems both in the first layer 4, which has a supporting function and the second layer 6, which has a catalytic function have the highest possible porosity. It has been found that porosities over 25% are well suited, so that on the one hand the gas transport of carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide through the first layer 4 and on the other hand infiltration of the second layer 6 by the liquid electrolyte 32 can take place.
- the path which the liquid electrolyte 32 has to travel into the gas diffusion electrode 2 is shortened, on the other hand the path 28, which is the carbon dioxide has to travel through the first layer 4, hardly increased appreciably, whereby the polarization of the described gas diffusion electrode 2 compared to conventional GDEs decreases.
- a gas diffusion electrode 2 On a silver fabric 8 with a wire diameter of 180 ym and a mesh size of 250 ym using 500 ym thick stencils (with an opening of 60 mm x 120 mm), a layer of Dyneon TF 2021 sieved and then removed with a squeegee. The layer is rolled with a 2-roll calender with a roll gap of 0.3 ym, so that the crests of the wire mesh protrude from the membrane.
- a 1 ym to 20 ym thick second layer 6, which serves as a catalyst layer, is sprayed onto the back from silver nanoparticles having a primary particle diameter of 0.1 .mu.m using an airbrush.
- the Prismsus pension is prepared as follows: 60 mg of silver nanoparticles (purity> 99, 9%) and 30 mg of a hydrophilic binder (anion exchanger ionomer) are dispersed in 3 ml of n-propanol in an ultrasonic bath for 10 to 15 minutes. It is a Bela formation of 0.5 mg to 3 mg catalyst / cm 2 sought.
- the electrode is dried under continuous stream of argon for 12 hours. The electrical contacting of the nanoparticles is carried out by percolation or by the protruding tips of the silver fabric 8.
- the electrode has a resistance of 0.001 Q and can be advantageously contacted by the gas side.
- a particular advantage of this electrode structure consists in the fact that within certain limits the reaction site at the interface between the first and second layers is independent of the pressure difference between the gas and liquid sides. This is ensured by the fact that the pressure which is necessary in order to press the electrolyte out of the preferably hydrophilic two-th layer is in the range of preferably more than 0.2 bar and conversely that an overpressure of this amount from the electrolyte side is insufficient to transfer the electrolyte into the electrolyte first layer to penetrate. This sets up well-suited operating conditions at the reaction zone without having to carefully set the pressure between gas and electrolyte side.
- the described GDE is robust against pressure fluctuations, as they occur by the weight pressure in size ren cells and cell stacks, or even in the flow through the cells in operation.
- the penetration depth of the electrolyte is locally different and depends on the pressure difference in the mbar range. Dement spreader accordingly, the electrolyte or gas-filled pores are different lengths to the reaction site and thus there are places where the unwanted water reduction is favored.
