Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of photocatalysis, and particularly to a monolithic frequency-divided photo-thermal synergistic catalyst, a preparation method thereof, and an application thereof. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of photocatalysis technology, single photocatalysis can no longer meet the requirements of people for efficient catalysis. Therefore, research on introducing an external field to enhance photocatalytic performance has emerged. Among them, photo-thermal catalysis is the integrated utilization of pure photocatalysis and thermal catalysis. In the existing technology, photo-thermal coupling catalysis for CO2 reduction can convert CO2 into high-value chemicals under mild reaction conditions, which is an effective way to alleviate environmental pollution and energy crisis.

[0003] The foam metal material is a new type of special metal material containing pores, and is widely used in the fields of chemical industry, aerospace, etc. due to its advantages such as low density, high energy absorption performance, and good stability. Common foam metals including aluminum foam, copper foam, iron foam, and nickel foam are used as carriers in catalytic reactions, which can increase the contact area between reactants and catalysts.

[0004] The invention patent with the publication number of CN107570174 discloses a highly efficient and stable nickel foam-based photocatalytic material. Using nickel foam as the substrate, a zinc oxide crystal layer is loaded by the crystal layer method, and then zinc oxide nanorod arrays are grown along the zinc oxide crystal layer by the hydrothermal method. Silver nanoparticles are in-situ photoreduced and deposited on the surface of the zinc oxide nanorod arrays to obtain a silver / zinc oxide nanorod array / nickel foam self-supporting material. However, this catalytic material cannot achieve the frequency division utilization of sunlight, that is, it cannot achieve high-efficiency sunlight utilization efficiency. The invention patent with the publication number of CN111889111 discloses a monolithic photocatalyst with a three-dimensional heterostructure, a preparation method thereof, and an application thereof. The catalyst is a monolithic photocatalyst of the CdS, NiS / Ni3S2@NF system. By growing a high density of cadmium sulfide particles on nickel foam, the light can be utilized to the greatest extent. At the same time, there is a rich amount of nickel sulfide at the interface between cadmium sulfide and nickel foam, which is used to ensure the tight combination of cadmium sulfide and nickel foam. However, this catalyst is prone to sintering inactivation when directly contacting high temperatures.

[0005] The main problems existing in current photocatalysts are as follows: The light absorption range of photocatalysts still mostly concentrates in the ultraviolet light region, so the utilization rate of sunlight is low; The currently developed photocatalysts still fail to produce an efficient inhibitory effect on the recombination of photo-generated electrons and holes, and their ability to generate and enable the high-speed transmission of photo-generated carriers is limited by their inherent properties; The existing photocatalysts still generally have the problem of poor stability.

After impregnation for 3 h, take it out and anneal at 200 °C for 2 h. The prepared material is impregnated in a precursor solution of composite metal oxide added with 6 mmol of structure-directing agent N,N-dimethylacetamide, and subjected to crystallization treatment for 10 h to obtain a foam copper@zinc oxide / nickel oxide monolithic catalyst.

[0038] Comparative Example 3: Under an oil bath at 50 °C, 10 mmol of alanine and 50 mmol of nickel chloride hexahydrate were added to 100 ml of deionized water to prepare an ionic electrolyte. A nickel metal sheet was used as the anode, and copper foam with a specification of 5 cm × 5 cm was used as the cathode. The stirring speed was controlled at 300 r / min, and the cathode current density was 20 mA / cm 2 , and constant current electrodeposition was carried out for 30 min. The impurities on the cathode surface were rinsed clean with deionized water; 6 mmol of zinc acetate, 6 mmol of nickel nitrate, 3.36 g of potassium hydroxide, and 100 ml of ethanol were mixed and stirred at 70 °C for 4 h to prepare a precursor solution. After impregnation for 3 h, it was taken out and annealed at 200 °C for 2 h. The prepared material was impregnated in a precursor solution of a composite metal oxide containing 6 mmol of a structure-directing agent N,N-dimethylacetamide, and crystallization treatment was carried out for 10 h to obtain a copper foam@black nickel@zinc oxide / nickel oxide monolithic catalyst.

[0039] The catalysts prepared in Example 1, Comparative Example 1, Comparative Example 2, and Comparative Example 3 were used for the CO2 photocatalytic reduction experiment under concentrated light, and the experimental conditions were the same as those in Example 4.

[0040] Table 1 Comparison of the performance of different catalysts for the photocatalytic reduction of CO2 under concentrated light (unit: μmol·h -1 ·g -1 )

[0041]

[0042] As shown in Table 1, Comparative Example 1 had only a photocatalyst and had the worst performance; Comparative Example 2 was a photocatalyst with a substrate added, and the effect was improved; Comparative Example 3 consisted of a metal substrate, a photothermal layer, and a photoelectric layer. After adding the photothermal effect, the performance of the catalyst was greatly improved and was close to that of Example 1, indicating that the solar energy frequency division utilization can greatly increase the catalytic performance.

[0043] The catalysts prepared in Example 1 and Comparative Example 3 were used for the CO2 photocatalytic reduction cyclic experiment under concentrated light, and the experimental conditions were the same as those in Example 4.

[0044] As can be seen from Table 2, although the catalyst in Comparative Example 3 can realize the solar energy distribution utilization and improve the catalytic performance, due to the lack of thermal protection for the photoelectric layer by a protective layer, the stability of the catalyst is poor, and most of the catalytic performance is lost after four cycles; while Example 1 shows the best photocatalytic activity in the photocatalytic CO2-H2O reaction system under concentrated light conditions, and can efficiently catalytically reduce the greenhouse gas CO2 into available solar fuels CH4 and CO, and also has good catalytic stability.
