Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of electro-reduction of carbon dioxide, and relates to a preparation method and application of a three-dimensional porous copper oxide-zinc bimetallic film electrode for electro-reduction of carbon dioxide. Background Art

[0002] As the content of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere increases sharply, the global average temperature rises year by year, and a series of extreme climate problems further triggered are imminent. Therefore, reducing the content of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and its emissions, and converting it into value-added chemicals has multiple practical significances in terms of energy, environment and economy. In recent years, for the resource utilization of carbon dioxide, relevant workers have mainly used biological methods, photocatalytic methods, chemical methods and electrochemical methods to conduct research. Electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide (ERCO2) is an environmentally friendly technology that can utilize clean energy and has a controllable reaction path. Through electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide, it can be converted into C1 chemicals such as CO, formic acid, methane and methanol, as well as C2 and C 2+ Chemicals such as ethanol and ethylene. This conversion not only helps reduce carbon emissions but also stores renewable energy in high-value-added chemicals. Future research may focus on improving the stability of the catalyst, reducing energy consumption, improving selectivity, and achieving industrial-scale application.

[0003] Copper (Cu) and zinc (Zn) as non-precious metal elements have important catalytic prospects in the field of ERCO2 technology. The introduction of zinc can optimize the electronic structure of copper and promote * Coupling of CO intermediates can improve the selectivity of products. Zinc is often used as a promoter or alloy component in catalysts. Its high hydrogen overpotential can inhibit the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and regulate *The CO adsorption strength can be adjusted to regulate the selectivity of the catalyst. However, the structure and composition of the Cu-Zn alloy will directly affect the distribution of the products. The preparation method of the catalyst directly affects the structure and composition of the catalyst, thereby determining the selectivity of different products. By regulating the preparation conditions of the catalyst, the reconstruction of Cu nanoparticles and Zn materials can be induced, thereby improving the selectivity of the catalyst. The multiphase catalyst system with Cu-Zn bimetallic active centers as the core exhibits excellent product selectivity regulation capabilities in the carbon dioxide reduction reaction. By systematically regulating key parameters such as the active site structure, surface electronic properties and reaction microenvironment, the synergistic optimization of its catalytic activity, selectivity and stability was successfully achieved. Zeng et al. prepared a coupled Cu-Zn catalyst composed of polycrystalline submicron Cu and single-crystalline nano-sized ZnO particles by microwave-assisted solvothermal method. The synergistic effect led to enhanced performance of the bimetallic material, which was used for efficient electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide to carbon monoxide with a Faradaic efficiency of 70% ([1] Zeng J, Rino T, Bejtka K, et al. Coupled Copper–Zinc Catalysts for Electrochemical Reduction of Carbon Dioxide[J]. ChemSusChem, 2020, 13 (16): 4128-4139.). However, this method usually has a complex preparation process and harsh conditions, which greatly limits the large-scale production and industrial application of composite materials. The inventors used (202010723993.0) to provide a photoelectrocatalytic system with a zinc-doped cuprous oxide film on the cathode surface for efficient electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide to acetic acid. However, the copper-zinc-based catalyst prepared by this method still has problems such as excessive energy consumption due to high overpotential, poor stability and chemical life of the catalyst. The inventors used (202311067089.9) to prepare a Cu electrocatalyst by performing asymmetric cyclic voltage pulses in an electrolyte solution. The catalyst surface was continuously and rapidly regenerated through periodic redox cycles (i.e., oxidation at the anode potential and reduction at the cathode potential). However, the Cu catalyst prepared by this method is mainly a mixture of Cu-Cu2O, and the product of the catalyst is mainly methane, with essentially no CO produced. The present invention uses a pulsed current electrodeposition technique coupled with a long-term in-situ reduction technique to in situ grow a three-dimensional porous copper oxide-zinc on a Cu substrate. This method does not require additional additives and is simple and easy to prepare. The developed Cu-Zn bimetallic catalyst, due to its unique electronic structure and synergistic effect, can effectively convert carbon dioxide into CO, an important component of synthesis gas, and has important application value in the chemical industry.By regulating the ratio and structure of copper and zinc through the pulse method of electrodeposition, the electronic structure and surface properties of copper can be adjusted. Through long-term constant current reduction technology, the performance of the catalyst is optimized, thereby improving the selectivity for CO. By adjusting the atomic ratio of Cu and Zn, an asymmetric catalyst is formed. * Active sites with high CO adsorption capacity improve the selectivity of the catalyst for CO. Summary of the Invention

[0014] The thin film electrode obtained by the above preparation method is used in the electrochemical reduction reaction of carbon dioxide, and the thin film electrode serves as the cathode of the reaction. The specific application is: a three-electrode system is used to construct an electrochemical system, the prepared charged catalyst electrode is used as the working electrode of the electrochemical reduction reaction of carbon dioxide, a 1cm×1cm platinum sheet is used as the counter electrode of the electrochemical reduction reaction of carbon dioxide, and an Ag / AgCl electrode is used as the reference electrode of the electrochemical reduction reaction of carbon dioxide; the cathode chamber and the anode chamber of the electrolytic cell are separated by a proton exchange membrane, the cathode chamber is filled with 40mL of 0.1M KHCO3 solution, and the anode chamber is filled with 40mL of 0.1M KHCO3 solution.

The catalytic reduction products were CO and H2, and the catalytic reduction products were detected every 15 minutes.

[0015] The beneficial effects of the present invention compared with the prior art are: The present invention adopts a multi-cycle pulse current deposition method, which realizes a dynamic dissolution-redeposition process on the copper mesh substrate by flexibly adjusting the pulse parameters (current intensity and number of cycles). Compared with the traditional pulse voltage method, this method realizes a dynamic dissolution-redeposition process on the copper mesh substrate by periodically switching the oxidation current density (10 mA cm -2 ~40 mA cm -2 ) and reduction current density (-30 mA cm -2 ~-60 mA cm -2 ), precisely controlling the redox reaction in a copper-zinc salt electrolyte: the oxidation process prevents excessive etching of the substrate, while the reduction phase reconstructs the catalyst's near-surface layer to form precursor sites. The alternating pulse action promotes periodic reorganization and regeneration of the catalyst surface, significantly increasing the specific surface area and active site density in a dynamic equilibrium, ultimately achieving optimized catalytic performance and controlled product distribution.

[0016] This invention, centered on the synergistic technology of pulsed current and long-term constant-current electroreduction, employs a copper and zinc non-precious metal system and dynamically optimizes the coating composition and microstructure by manipulating pulse parameters. The pulsed technology, through multiple cycles, induces directional aggregation of particles on the copper mesh surface, forming loose, continuous copper oxide-zinc nanoparticles, simultaneously achieving efficient deposition and morphology control at room temperature and pressure. The long-term constant-current electroreduction principle precisely controls the product loading (Q = i × t) through a constant electron supply. This continuous driving force promotes the gradual reduction of metal ions, enabling refined control of nanoparticle size. The synergistic effect of these two methods results in a catalyst exhibiting highly uniform coatings, fine grains, and controllable loading, providing a stable and reliable technical path for low-cost, large-scale production.

[0017] The present invention uses in-situ copper matrix etching technology to simultaneously construct a three-dimensional porous structure, copper oxide-zinc heterogeneous interface and oxygen vacancies / step sites through atomic-level zinc doping. The three-dimensional porous skeleton significantly increases the density of active sites, and the heterogeneous interface induces charge redistribution to optimize the reaction path. Among them, oxygen vacancies (O v ) and Cu + Synergistic reduction * COOH intermediate adsorption energy, while Zn sites simultaneously weaken through electron induction effect * This structure-electron synergistic regulation mechanism effectively reduces the reaction energy barrier and enables the catalyst to exhibit excellent activity and product selectivity in the carbon dioxide reduction reaction.

[0018] The present invention significantly improves the performance of the catalyst through a synergistic strategy of pulse electrodeposition and long-time constant current electroreduction technology. Pulse electrodeposition precisely controls the distribution of active sites, and combined with the long-time directional reconstruction of constant current electroreduction, metal atoms are orderly enriched at the defect sites of the carrier, forming a stable active layer with a dense porous structure. After pulse deposition, there may be incompletely reduced CuO on the surface (which is not conducive to CO formation). Constant current reduction further reduces CuO to a more active Cu2O phase through continuous electron supply. The present invention is based on the synergistic technology of pulse current method and long-time constant current electroreduction. Through the periodic deposition-etching process on the electrode surface, the distribution of active sites is precisely controlled, and combined with the long-time directional reconstruction of constant current electroreduction, metal atoms are orderly enriched at the defect sites of the carrier, forming a stable active layer with a dense porous structure. This process dynamically controls the metal deposition rate, avoiding surface oversaturation and strengthening the reactant diffusion channel, while simultaneously achieving the construction of high-density edges. Especially for copper-based catalysts, this composite process effectively overcomes the defects of loose structure and easy deactivation of the traditional constant potential method, so that the catalyst has high selectivity, reaction stability and long-term durability in the electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide.
