Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of electrocatalyst development and technology, and in particular to a proton sponge-modified fluorine atom-doped metallic copper electrode material, a preparation method thereof, and applications thereof. Background Art

[0002] The electroreduction of carbon dioxide (CO2) driven by renewable energy provides a promising technical path for the capture, conversion and utilization of CO2. The electroreduction of CO2 technology can achieve efficient conversion and utilization of CO2 using renewable electricity under mild conditions. Among them, ethylene (C2H4), ethanol (C2H5OH), acetic acid (CH3COOH) and propanol (C3H7OH) with high energy density are the most widely used carbon dioxide (CO2) products. 2+ ) compounds as ideal value-added products can not only provide green raw materials for the chemical industry, but also effectively alleviate the contradiction between climate change and energy demand, thus attracting extensive attention from academia and industry. 2+ Product selectivity. The electrolyte of most CO2 electroreduction reactions is alkaline or neutral. However, carbonates formed by CO2 electroreduction reactions in alkaline or neutral environments will precipitate at the cathode or migrate to the anode, causing CO2 crossover problems, reducing the utilization efficiency of CO2, and the regeneration process also requires a lot of additional energy consumption. In contrast, CO2 electroreduction reactions in acidic environments can reduce the protons (H + ) is combined with carbonate to convert into CO2, thereby improving the overall energy efficiency, but it is accompanied by a large amount of H + Preferentially combined with the side reaction of hydrogen evolution in water electrolysis, resulting in C 2+ The selectivity of the product is reduced. Therefore, the development of electrocatalysts that can significantly improve the performance of CO2 electroreduction in acidic environments and effectively inhibit the hydrogen evolution side reaction still faces great challenges.

[0003] To date, copper-based catalysts have been widely used in the electroreduction of CO2 due to their unique electronic structure and excellent carbon-carbon (CC) coupling ability. Most studies have improved the intrinsic catalytic activity of copper-based catalysts by regulating their own electronic structure and chemical composition. Common regulation strategies include element doping, crystal plane regulation, defect formation, alloying, etc. Among them, the core advantage of the element doping strategy lies in the precise regulation of the "electronic structure-geometric structure-surface properties" of the catalyst, thereby breaking through the performance limitations of a single element component. For example, the Chinese patent document with publication number CN119433589A discloses an in-situ synthesized halogen-modified bismuth nanoelectrocatalytic electrode, its preparation method and application, which synthesizes a precursor by grafting halogen atoms on the surface of basic copper bismuthate through water bath treatment, and then obtains a halogen-modified bismuth nanomaterial by electrochemical reduction, which effectively inhibits the hydrogen evolution reaction, improves the reaction current density, and exhibits excellent performance in the electroreduction of CO2 to prepare formic acid.

[0004] With the continuous deepening of research on improving the performance of CO2 electroreduction reaction, it is not limited to the optimization of the intrinsic performance of electrocatalysts, but has gradually turned to the regulation of the microenvironment of the electrode material reaction interface, providing a new approach for improving the performance of CO2 electroreduction reaction. For example, the Chinese patent document with publication number CN119593013A discloses a preparation method and application of a CO2 gas capture functional molecule modified nano-gold catalyst. After the functional molecule is added to an organic solvent and heated in an oil bath with the nano-gold catalyst, an organic molecule modified nano-gold catalyst with CO2 gas capture function is obtained. After the organic molecule modification, a hydrophobic microenvironment at the interface is provided that is conducive to the CO2 reduction reaction, significantly enhancing the diffusion of CO2 gas and effectively reducing the hydrogen evolution side reaction, thereby improving the selectivity of the CO2 electroreduction reaction.

[0005] There has been some progress in the research on the modification of CO2 electroreduction reaction catalysts and the regulation of the reaction interface microenvironment, but there are still many challenges in achieving high selectivity and high stability of CO2 electroreduction reaction under acidic conditions and clarifying its microscopic reaction mechanism. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for preparing a proton sponge (1,8-bisdimethylaminonaphthalene) modified fluorine atom-doped metallic copper electrode material. The prepared proton sponge modified fluorine atom-doped metallic copper electrode material exhibits excellent CO2 electroreduction reaction performance in an acidic environment at industrial-grade current density.

[0007] To achieve the above object, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is:

[0008] A method for preparing a proton sponge-modified fluorine atom-doped metallic copper electrode material, the method comprising the following steps:

[0009] (1) adding a dispersion of proton sponge (1,8-bis(dimethylaminonaphthalene)) to a dispersion of a hydroxycopper fluoride precursor to obtain a mixed solution;

[0010] (2) spraying the mixed solution onto a polytetrafluoroethylene film substrate loaded with copper nanoparticles to obtain a proton sponge-modified copper hydroxyfluoride precursor electrode material;

[0011] (3) The proton sponge-modified hydroxy copper fluoride precursor electrode material prepared in step (2) is electrochemically reduced to obtain a proton sponge-modified fluorine atom-doped metallic copper electrode material.

Fluorine atoms doping metallic copper promote the migration of hydrated potassium ions to the electrode interface and repel H + The migration of ions is used to suppress the occurrence of hydrogen evolution side reaction. The electrode surface effectively regulates the local electric field of the reaction interface by introducing a proton sponge, changes the dipole moment of the intermediate *CO to enhance its adsorption, thereby reducing the reaction energy barrier of CC coupling and improving the preparation of high value-added C 2+ Product performance.

[0013] Preferably, in step (1), the preparation method of the hydroxycopper fluoride precursor is: dissolving an inorganic copper salt in an N,N-dimethylformamide solvent, adding ammonium bifluoride and stirring, and performing a hydrothermal reaction and then centrifugation drying to obtain a hydroxycopper fluoride precursor.

Preferably, the mass ratio of the proton sponge to the hydroxy copper fluoride precursor is 0.05 to 0.065:1, which is beneficial to improve the selectivity of the single C 2+ Selectivity of the product ethylene (C2H4).

[0020] In step (2), the loading amount of the proton sponge-modified hydroxy copper fluoride precursor on the polytetrafluoroethylene film substrate loaded with copper nanoparticles is 0.5-1 mg cm -2 Preferably, the loading amount of the proton sponge-modified copper hydroxyfluoride precursor is 1 mg cm -2 .

[0021] In step (2), the copper nanoparticle layer loaded on the polytetrafluoroethylene membrane has a thickness of 200 to 400 nm. Thicker copper nanoparticles help enhance the conductivity of the substrate. Preferably, the copper nanoparticle layer has a thickness of 400 nm.

[0022] In step (3), the constant current density of the electrochemical reduction is 50-100 mA cm -2 , time is 100~300s. Preferably, the constant current density of electrochemical reduction is 100mA cm -2 , time is 300s.

[0025] The present invention also provides the above-mentioned proton sponge-modified fluorine atom-doped metal copper electrode material for use as a working electrode in an electroreduction CO2 reaction.

[0026] Furthermore, the proton sponge modified fluorine atom-doped metal copper electrode material is used as a working electrode to realize the application of CO2 electroreduction in an acidic environment at an industrial-grade current density.

[0028] The fluorine atom doping in the proton sponge modified fluorine atom-doped metal copper electrode material provided by the present invention promotes the enrichment of hydrated potassium ions at the reaction interface, inhibits H + The migration of ions to the electrode interface greatly reduces the hydrogen evolution side reaction. At the same time, the proton sponge modification effectively regulates the local electric field strength of the reaction interface, affects the dipole moment of the intermediate *CO to enhance its adsorption of *CO, and reduces the reaction energy barrier of CC coupling to increase its production of high value-added C 2+ The performance of the product has practical significance for realizing the electroreduction of CO2 in an acidic environment under industrial conditions.
