AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing copper-based supported catalysts have insufficient activity at low temperatures. Copper particles are prone to agglomeration and sintering, which damages the catalyst's specific surface area and pore structure, reduces the dispersion of active centers, and makes it difficult to effectively regulate the distribution of copper ion deposition due to insufficient oxygen defects on the support surface. The utilization rate of active sites is low, making it difficult to form efficient synergistic active centers.

Method used

A hydrothermal method was used to prepare a support rich in oxygen vacancies. Through the synergistic effect of template agents and complexing agents, a uniform porous structure was formed. The support was then reduced in a hydrogen atmosphere to introduce Cu and Al active components, thereby achieving high dispersion of these components on the support surface, reducing agglomeration, and improving the activity and stability of the catalyst.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of hydrogen production technology, specifically to a supported catalyst, its preparation method, and its application in low-temperature methanol reforming for hydrogen production. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, low-temperature methanol reforming for hydrogen production is an important clean hydrogen source preparation method, possessing advantages such as mild reaction, high hydrogen production selectivity, and few byproducts, and has wide applications in fuel cells and portable hydrogen sources. However, existing copper-based supported catalysts still face many problems in practical applications. On the one hand, traditional Cu / ZnO / Al2O3 catalysts exhibit insufficient activity at low temperatures, and copper particles are prone to agglomeration and sintering, leading to reduced dispersion of active sites, damage to the catalyst's specific surface area and pore structure, and consequently affecting the efficiency and stability of the catalytic reaction. On the other hand, existing supports suffer from insufficient oxygen vacancies on the surface, making it difficult to effectively control the deposition and distribution of copper ions on the support surface.

[0024] Example 3 Preparation of supported catalysts (1) Dissolve 0.15 mol cerium nitrate and 0.105 mol zinc nitrate in 300 ml deionized water, add 0.0075 mol template agent (hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide), stir evenly, adjust pH to 8.5 with 10 wt% sodium hydroxide, transfer to a stainless steel high-pressure reactor lined with polytetrafluoroethylene, heat to 140℃ for hydrothermal reaction for 24 h, cool to room temperature, filter, wash three times with deionized water (50 ml each time), wash with 50 ml anhydrous ethanol, vacuum dry at 100℃ for 8 h, then place in a tube furnace and heat to 480℃ at 4℃ / min, keep warm for 5 h, cool naturally to room temperature, introduce hydrogen gas with a volume concentration of 8%, argon gas as carrier gas, control the gas flow rate at 100 ml / min, heat from room temperature to 350℃ at 5℃ / min, reduce for 3 h, cool naturally to room temperature, and obtain a carrier rich in oxygen vacancies; (2) Dissolve 0.12 mol copper nitrate and 0.075 mol aluminum nitrate in 300 ml of deionized water, add 0.06 mol complexing agent (prepared in Example 1), stir until completely dissolved, adjust pH to 5.5 with 5 wt% sodium hydroxide, stir evenly to obtain co-impregnation solution, add 24 g of oxygen-vacancy-rich support to co-impregnation solution, stir and impregnate at 40°C for 7 h, age at room temperature for 2 h, rotary evaporate at 60°C for 2 h, dry at 100°C for 8 h, then place in a tube furnace, heat to 550°C at a heating rate of 4°C / min, hold for 5 h, cool naturally to room temperature, introduce hydrogen gas with a volume concentration of 8%, use argon gas as the carrier gas, control the gas flow rate at 100 ml / min, heat from room temperature to 300°C at a heating rate of 2°C / min, reduce for 4 h, and cool naturally to room temperature to obtain supported catalyst.

[0025] Figure 3 The N2 adsorption-desorption isotherm of the supported catalyst prepared in Example 3 shows that the adsorption curve rises slowly in the low relative pressure region (P / P0<0.6), indicating that there are a small number of micropores or adsorption on the outer surface of the sample; while in the high relative pressure region (P / P0>0.8), significant capillary condensation occurs, and the adsorption volume increases sharply, reflecting the presence of a large number of mesoporous structures in the material.

[0026] Figure 4 The image shows the X-ray diffraction pattern of the supported catalyst prepared in Example 3. As can be seen from the figure, distinct diffraction peaks appear at 2θ = 43.3°, 50.4°, and 74.1°, corresponding to the (111), (200), and (220) crystal planes of metallic Cu, respectively. This indicates that under hydrogen reduction conditions, the copper species has been successfully transformed from the precursor into metallic Cu. 0 This is consistent with the reduction process in the preparation procedure. Furthermore, characteristic diffraction peaks of CeO2 were observed at 2θ = 28.5°, indicating that Ce species exist in the support as crystalline cerium oxide. The presence of CeO2 helps provide oxygen vacancies and reversible Ce formation. 3+ / Ce 4+ The redox pairs enhance the oxygen migration ability and reactivity of the catalyst. Furthermore, the absence of aluminum diffraction peaks in the spectrum indicates that alumina exists in a highly dispersed amorphous form within the catalyst. This highly dispersed structural aid effectively promotes the uniform distribution of active copper particles and inhibits their sintering during high-temperature reactions.

[0037] The methanol vapor-to-hydrogen catalysts prepared in the examples and comparative examples were tested for specific surface area, pore size and catalytic performance. The test results are shown in Table 1.

[0038] Specific surface area and pore size were tested using nitrogen adsorption-desorption experiments.

[0039] Catalytic performance testing: First, 0.5g of catalyst was loaded into the isothermal layer of a quartz tube (length: 400mm, inner diameter: 14mm), and nitrogen gas was introduced at a flow rate of 70ml / min. The temperature was then raised to 300℃ at a rate of 10℃ / min. A methanol-water solution (methanol to deionized water molar ratio of 1:1.5) was injected using a feed pump; the feed hourly space velocity (WHSV) was 5.28. -1h, the feed reactants react with a catalyst in the tube to produce hydrogen-rich gas; the gas is condensed to remove water vapor, and the gas flow rate is measured and then collected in a gas bag; the collected gas is sent to a gas chromatograph for component analysis; the gas flow rate is measured at the terminal using a soap film flow meter.

[0043] As can be seen from the data in Table 1, the supported catalyst prepared by this invention has advantages such as large specific surface area and large pore size, and exhibits excellent performance of high methanol conversion and low CO selectivity in the low-temperature methanol reforming hydrogen production reaction.

[0044] In the catalyst preparation process, a composite oxide support is first prepared using a hydrothermal method. Under alkaline conditions, a precursor with a uniform composition and a certain porous structure is formed through the synergistic precipitation and crystallization process of metal ions. The organic template is removed by calcination, which promotes crystal phase formation. Subsequently, a reduction treatment is performed under a hydrogen atmosphere to introduce oxygen vacancies onto the support surface, thereby improving surface oxygen migration capacity and the number of active sites. Based on this, Cu and Al active components are introduced through a co-impregnation method. Under relatively mild conditions, the active components are highly dispersed on the support surface, reducing their agglomeration and thus enhancing the overall activity and stability of the catalyst.

[0045] In terms of structural regulation, the template agent hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide utilizes the hydrophobic effect of its long-chain alkyl group and the electrostatic effect of the quaternary ammonium salt cationic head group to form a micelle structure in the reaction system, which plays a structural guiding role in the growth of the inorganic framework, thereby inducing the formation of a porous structure and improving the specific surface area of ​​the material. During the loading process, the introduced complexing agent molecule contains coordinating groups such as polycarboxyl groups and amine groups, which can interact with Cu 2+ Al 3+The formation of stable coordination between metal ions regulates their hydrolysis and deposition rates, promoting their uniform distribution and effective anchoring on the support surface. Simultaneously, the decomposition of the complexing agent during subsequent calcination contributes to the formation of structural defects or refinement of the pore structure. The synergistic effect of the template agent and complexing agent optimizes the catalyst's specific surface area and metal dispersion, and enhances the metal-support interaction, resulting in higher reactivity and methanol conversion in the methanol reforming reaction.

[0046] The coordination ability of the complexing agent used in Comparative Example 2 was weakened, and it interacted with Cu. 2+ The resulting complex has a low stability constant, which weakens the ability to regulate the in-situ uniform deposition of copper ions on the surface of the oxygen-vacancy-rich Ce-Zn support. This leads to a decrease in the dispersion of copper active components, easy agglomeration and sintering of particles, a reduction in specific surface area, and a deterioration in pore uniformity. Ultimately, this reduces the methanol conversion rate and CO selectivity in the low-temperature methanol reforming hydrogen production reaction.

[0047] The template agent Pluronic® F127 used in Comparative Example 5 is a nonionic triblock copolymer. Under hydrothermal conditions, the micelles formed have a large volume, making it difficult to effectively induce the assembly of cerium nitrate and zinc nitrate. The number of ordered self-oxygen vacancies is reduced, which ultimately leads to a decrease in the dispersion of copper active components and easy agglomeration and sintering. As a result, the methanol conversion rate and CO selectivity of the low-temperature methanol reforming hydrogen production reaction are significantly worse than those of the examples.

[0048] In Comparative Example 8, the excessively rapid heating rate accelerated the decomposition of precursors such as copper nitrate and aluminum nitrate, making it difficult to release the generated heat evenly. This easily led to localized high temperatures and violent gas escape, thereby disrupting the ordered mesoporous structure of the carrier and causing some pores to collapse or become blocked. Ultimately, in the low-temperature methanol reforming hydrogen production reaction, the methanol conversion rate and CO selectivity control capability decreased.

[0049] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. However, any modifications, alterations, and variations made by those skilled in the art without departing from the scope of the present invention based on the disclosed technical content are equivalent embodiments of the present invention. Furthermore, any modifications, alterations, and variations made to the above embodiments based on the essential technology of the present invention are still within the protection scope of the present invention.
