Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of automobile exhaust purification and treatment, and in particular to a low-temperature, high-performance oxygen storage material, a preparation method, and an automobile exhaust purification catalyst. Background Art

[0002] Automobile exhaust purification catalysts are the primary strategy for converting pollutants such as carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, and nitrogen oxides into non-toxic gases such as carbon dioxide and water vapor. Automobile exhaust purification catalysts generally consist of a honeycomb carrier and a catalytic coating, which is primarily composed of rare earth oxygen storage materials, catalytic materials such as alumina, and precious metal active components. Rare earth oxygen storage materials store oxygen during lean combustion and release oxygen during rich combustion, thereby broadening the operating window of the three-way catalyst and achieving efficient and comprehensive conversion of CO, HC, and NOx. Currently, the most commonly used oxygen storage material is a cerium-zirconium solid solution. Doping with appropriate amounts of rare earths, alkali metals, and transition metals can improve the thermal stability, oxygen storage properties, and redox properties of the cerium-zirconium solid solution.

[0003] Current research focuses on fine-tuning the preparation conditions of oxygen storage materials, including controlling precipitation pH, aging conditions, post-treatment conditions, and the properties of added surfactants. Currently, the main methods for preparing cerium-zirconium solid solutions include co-precipitation, sol-gel, hydrothermal, and high-energy ball milling. Co-precipitation has been widely used due to its simplicity, easily controlled conditions, and ease of industrial production. However, existing co-precipitation processes are complex, and the properties of the cerium-zirconium solid solutions produced by these methods fall short of meeting the requirements of automotive exhaust after-treatment modules. For example, high-temperature resistance requires further improvement, and oxygen storage capacity, thermal stability, and surface area cannot be perfectly matched simultaneously. Furthermore, with the advancement of "dual carbon" (DCE) emissions, hybrid vehicles are increasingly gaining market share, and emissions requirements for hybrid engines are placing new demands on oxygen storage materials. To achieve optimal fuel economy, hybrid vehicles experience frequent starts and stops during operation, compared to conventional combustion engines. These frequent starts and stops and the high number of transient operating conditions require oxygen storage materials to possess not only excellent high-temperature oxygen storage and release properties but also good reactivity at low temperatures.

[0004] Related technologies, such as CN105642269B, disclose a composite cerium-zirconium solid solution and its preparation method. The solution is composed of cerium oxide, zirconium oxide, and a rare earth additive, with the following weight percentages: 15-80% cerium oxide, 15-60% zirconium oxide, and 5-25% rare earth additive. The rare earth additive is one or more of lanthanum oxide, praseodymium oxide, rubidium oxide, yttrium oxide, samarium oxide, terbium oxide, dysprosium oxide, and erbium oxide. Modification with a composite surfactant and carbonization and calcination results in a larger pore size and volume. However, the use of hydrogen peroxide to oxidize the rare earth zirconium mixture during precipitation affects the micromorphology, redox properties, and oxygen storage and release capacity of the cerium-zirconium composite oxide.

[0005] In short, although the existing technology has improved the specific surface area and high-temperature aging performance of oxygen storage materials to a relatively high level, the low-temperature reaction activity of oxygen storage materials is relatively poor and cannot cope with the low-temperature ignition during the frequent start-stop process of hybrid vehicles. Summary of the Invention

[0040] In a third aspect, an automobile exhaust purification catalyst is provided, which includes the low-temperature, high-performance oxygen storage material as described above.

[0041] The beneficial effects of the technical solution provided by this application include:

[0042] The present invention provides a low-temperature, high-performance oxygen storage material, preparation method, and automobile exhaust purification catalyst. Beyond the early efforts to control the cerium-zirconium ratio and identify suitable doping agents, current research on improving the performance of oxygen storage materials is focused on fine-tuning the preparation conditions, including controlling precipitation pH, aging conditions, post-treatment conditions, and the addition of surfactants. For example, the initial grain size of the nanocrystals can be regulated by taking advantage of the different nucleation rates of nanocrystals corresponding to different precipitants and their different decomposition rates during calcination. Furthermore, the fundamental function of the aging process—crystal refinement (dissolution of small grains and growth of large grains)—can be utilized to optimize aging conditions and control the initial grain size of the nanocrystals.

[0043] This application innovatively proposes to introduce modified nanoparticles as nucleation sites for cerium-zirconium nanocrystals during the co-precipitation stage, allowing the cerium-zirconium precipitate to undergo heterogeneous nucleation, thereby controlling the nucleation and growth of the oxygen storage material and obtaining an oxygen storage material with high oxygen storage capacity and high-temperature aging resistance. It was also unexpectedly discovered that the oxygen storage material prepared by this method also has excellent oxygen storage and release performance (i.e., reaction activity) under low-temperature conditions (as low as 250°C), which is of great significance for the emission requirements of hybrid vehicles. Compared with the previous process that required precise control of pH value, aging conditions, post-processing conditions, etc. during the preparation process, the introduction of modified nanoparticles can significantly reduce the processing difficulty of oxygen storage materials and improve product consistency.

[0044] Nanoparticles serve as nucleation sites for cerium-zirconium nanocrystals. Since they are prone to agglomeration, the purpose of modification is to prevent nanoparticle agglomeration and promote dispersion, which is beneficial to the nucleation growth of oxygen storage materials. At the same time, the introduction of silicon can also improve the performance of oxygen storage materials.

[0045] Through extensive research, the applicant discovered that modified silica and α-alumina can produce the above-mentioned effects. However, experiments have shown that the corresponding modified γ-alumina cannot perform well. This may be because γ-alumina has poor thermal stability and undergoes phase transformation and sintering during the roasting process, resulting in structural collapse and degradation of the performance of the oxygen storage material.

[0046] After low-temperature and high-temperature aging, the present invention is cooled to room temperature. Compared with the room-temperature aging of the prior art, the low-temperature aging method can reduce the nucleation of the cerium-zirconium compound itself, and preferentially nucleate the modified nanoparticles. The low-temperature aging period allows all the grains in the system to nucleate and grow uniformly.

[0047] The present application adopts an amino-hydrocarbon-based silane coupling agent because it can be decomposed during the subsequent calcination process without introducing other impurities, and the gas generated by the decomposition can promote the formation of a porous structure.

[0048] Since the oxygen storage performance of Ce-Zr oxygen storage materials comes from Ce 3+ and Ce 4+ The reversible redox (oxygen storage and release) cycle is essentially determined by the unique electronic configuration of Ce. In fact, the oxygen storage / release process of Ce-Zr oxygen storage materials is carried out step by step in the order of surface-bulk phase. Among them, gaseous oxygen can quickly fill the surface oxygen vacancies at room temperature. Therefore, the key steps that determine the oxygen storage performance of Ce-Zr oxygen storage materials are the formation of oxygen vacancies and the migration and diffusion of oxygen species. The role of introducing metal modified doping elements is as follows: 1) The introduced doping ions will replace Ce in the lattice 4+ and Zr 4+ , due to the doping ions and Ce 4+ and Zr 4+The difference in radius will cause the unit cell to shrink or expand, and this process will lead to the formation of structural defects related to cations; 2) Since the valence state of the doped ions is relatively low (usually +2 or +3), more oxygen vacancies will be generated in the lattice to maintain electrical neutrality; 3) It can effectively stabilize the phase structure, reduce the sintering rate of the material, and improve its thermal stability; 4) It can increase the specific surface area of the material. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0049] In order to more clearly illustrate the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application, the following briefly introduces the drawings required for use in the description of the embodiments. Obviously, the drawings described below are only some embodiments of the present application. For ordinary technicians in this field, other drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without any creative work.

[0050] Figure 1 Flowchart of the preparation method of the low-temperature, high-performance oxygen storage material provided in the embodiments of the present application. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0051] To make the purpose, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application more clear, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of this application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0052] Beyond the early efforts to control the cerium-zirconium ratio and identify suitable doping agents, current research on improving the performance of oxygen storage materials is focused on fine-tuning the preparation conditions, including controlling precipitation pH, aging conditions, post-treatment conditions, and the addition of surfactants. For example, the initial grain size of the nanocrystals can be manipulated by taking advantage of the varying nucleation rates of different precipitants and their decomposition rates during calcination. Furthermore, the fundamental function of the aging process—crystal refinement (dissolution of small grains and growth of larger ones)—can be exploited to optimize aging conditions and control the initial grain size of the nanocrystals.

[0053] This application innovatively proposes to introduce modified nanoparticles as nucleation sites for cerium-zirconium nanocrystals during the co-precipitation stage, allowing the cerium-zirconium precipitate to undergo heterogeneous nucleation, thereby controlling the nucleation and growth of the oxygen storage material and obtaining an oxygen storage material with high oxygen storage capacity and high-temperature aging resistance. It was also unexpectedly discovered that the oxygen storage material prepared by this method also has excellent oxygen storage and release performance (i.e., reaction activity) under low-temperature conditions (as low as 250°C), which is of great significance for the emission requirements of hybrid vehicles. Compared with the previous process that required precise control of pH value, aging conditions, post-processing conditions, etc. during the preparation process, the introduction of modified nanoparticles can significantly reduce the processing difficulty of oxygen storage materials and improve product consistency.

[0054] Specifically, see Figure 1 As shown, the present invention provides a method for preparing a low-temperature, high-performance oxygen storage material, which includes the following steps:

[0055] 101: Prepare solution A1, wherein the solution A1 contains cerium, zirconium, and a metal-modified doping element for modifying cerium and zirconium.

[0056] Solution A2 is prepared, wherein the solution A2 contains ammonium carbonate and ammonia water.

[0057] The nanoparticles were modified with a silane coupling agent to obtain slurry A3.

[0058] 102: The solution A1, solution A2 and slurry A3 are titrated and precipitated together. After the titration is completed, concentrated ammonia water is added and stirred to obtain slurry B.

[0059] In step 102, during titration, the temperature is set at 30-40° C., that is, solution A1, solution A2, and slurry A3 are titrated at 30-40° C. After adding concentrated ammonia water, stir for 1-2 hours to ensure thorough mixing.

[0060] The concentrated ammonia water is used at a conventional concentration, such as 25-28%, mainly to provide hydroxyl groups and regulate pH so that the metal ions are completely precipitated. The use of ammonia water can avoid the introduction of new metal ions.

[0061] 103: The slurry B is subjected to low-temperature aging treatment and high-temperature aging treatment in sequence to obtain slurry C.

[0062] Wherein, the low-temperature aging treatment includes: low-temperature aging at 15-25°C for 3-8 hours.

[0063] The high-temperature aging treatment includes: high-temperature aging at 90-98° C. for 2-5 hours.

[0064] After low-temperature and high-temperature aging, the system is cooled to room temperature. Compared to the existing room-temperature aging, the low-temperature aging method reduces nucleation in the cerium-zirconium compound itself, prioritizing nucleation on the modified nanoparticles. The low-temperature aging allows for uniform nucleation and growth of all grains in the system.

[0065] 104: After the slurry C is heated to a set temperature, concentrated ammonia water and a surfactant are added to the slurry C, and the mixture is stirred for reaction to obtain slurry D.

[0066] The set temperature is 50-70° C. The mixture is stirred for 1-3 hours and then cooled to room temperature.

[0067] The set temperature is set at 50-70°C because surfactants are subsequently added. On the one hand, they reduce the surface tension of water within the material's pores by lowering interfacial energy, significantly reducing shrinkage and collapse of the network structure during drying and calcination. On the other hand, surfactants act as dispersants, adsorbing on the surface of solid particles. When the adsorption layer reaches a certain thickness, it generates sufficient repulsive energy to overcome the attraction between the particles, thus achieving dispersion. Therefore, a relatively suitable temperature is required. Lower temperatures will prolong the adsorption process, while higher temperatures will lead to unstable structures.

[0068] The concentrated ammonia water adopts a conventional concentration, such as 25-28%, mainly to provide hydroxyl groups and regulate pH so that the metal ions are completely precipitated; the use of ammonia water can avoid the introduction of new metal ions.

[0069] The surfactant is a mixture of fatty acid and polyvinyl alcohol, or a mixture of carboxylic acid ester and polyvinyl alcohol.

[0070] The fatty acid includes one or more of lauric acid, palmitic acid, stearic acid and oleic acid;

[0071] The carboxylic acid ester includes one or more of Tween 20, Tween 60 and Tween 80.

[0072] 105: The slurry D is filtered and washed, and the filter cake obtained by the filtration and washing is dried and calcined to obtain a low-temperature, high-performance oxygen storage material.

[0073] The calcination comprises: heating the temperature to 400-800° C. at a heating rate of 5-20° C. / min, and then calcining for 3-6 hours.

[0074] Due to the introduction of nanoparticles for nucleation, compared with the conventional co-precipitation method, the present application needs to undergo a low-temperature aging after precipitation titration to facilitate the nucleation process of cerium-zirconium nanocrystals, prevent or inhibit rapid crystal growth, and avoid uneven particles.

[0075] The low-temperature, high-performance oxygen storage material comprises, by weight, 20-60% cerium oxide, 30-70% zirconium oxide, 3-15% metal-modified doping aid, and 0.1-3% nanoparticles.

[0076] It should be noted that the metal-modified doping aid is a product obtained by reacting a soluble salt of a metal-modified doping element and is contained in the low-temperature, high-performance oxygen storage material.

[0077] In the above step 101, in order to obtain solution A1, the present application also provides a preparation method. Specifically, the preparation of solution A1 includes: weighing a soluble cerium salt, a soluble zirconium salt and a soluble salt of a metal-modified doping element, dissolving the soluble cerium salt in hydrogen peroxide, dissolving the soluble zirconium salt in an aqueous nitric acid solution, and dissolving the soluble salt of the metal-modified doping element in hydrogen peroxide, and then mixing the above three solutions and stirring them evenly to obtain solution A1.

[0078] There are many options for soluble cerium salts, which can be selected according to actual needs. For example, as an example, the soluble cerium salts include one or more of cerium nitrate and cerium carbonate.

[0079] There are multiple options for soluble zirconium salts, which can be selected according to actual needs. For example, as an example, the soluble zirconium salts include one or more of zirconium nitrate and zirconium carbonate.

[0080] There are multiple options for the soluble salts of the metal-modified doping elements, which can be selected according to actual needs. For example, as an example, the soluble salts of the metal-modified doping elements include one or more of the nitrates and carbonates of the metal-modified doping elements.

[0081] There are multiple options for the metal-modified doping element, which can be selected according to actual needs. For example, as an example, the metal-modified doping element includes one or more of aluminum, rare earth elements, transition metal elements, alkali metal elements and alkaline earth metal elements.

[0082] The rare earth elements include one or more of lanthanum La, praseodymium Pr, neodymium Nd, and yttrium Y.

[0083] The transition metal elements include one or more of manganese Mn, copper Cu, iron Fe, and nickel Ni.

[0084] The alkaline earth metal elements include one or more of strontium Sr, calcium Ca, magnesium Mg, and barium Ba.

[0085] The oxygen storage performance of Ce-Zr oxygen storage materials comes from Ce 3+ and Ce 4+The reversible redox (oxygen storage and release) cycle is essentially determined by the unique electronic configuration of Ce. In fact, the oxygen storage and release processes of Ce-Zr oxygen storage materials proceed in a step-by-step manner, from surface to bulk. The filling of surface oxygen vacancies by gaseous oxygen occurs rapidly at room temperature, so the key steps determining the oxygen storage performance of Ce-Zr oxygen storage materials are the formation of oxygen vacancies and the migration and diffusion of oxygen species.

[0086] The effects of introducing metal modified doping elements are as follows:

[0087] 1) The introduced dopant ions will replace Ce in the lattice 4+ and Zr 4+ , due to the doping ions and Ce 4+ and Zr 4+ The difference in radius will cause the unit cell to shrink or expand, and this process will lead to the formation of structural defects related to cations;

[0088] 2) Since the valence of the dopant ions is low (usually +2 or +3), more oxygen vacancies will be generated in the lattice to maintain electrical neutrality;

[0089] 3) It can effectively stabilize the phase structure, reduce the sintering rate of the material and improve its thermal stability;

[0090] 4) It can increase the specific surface area of the material.

[0091] In the above step 101, in order to obtain solution A2, the present application also provides a preparation method. Specifically, the preparation of solution A2 includes: dissolving ammonium carbonate in water to obtain an ammonium carbonate solution; and mixing the ammonium carbonate solution with aqueous ammonia to obtain solution A2.

[0092] The water can be deionized water, distilled water, or purified water.

[0093] The molar ratio of the ammonium carbonate solution to the ammonia water is 0.5 to 2:1.

[0094] The molar concentrations of ammonium carbonate and ammonia water are both 1 to 5 mol / L.

[0095] In step 101, to obtain slurry A3, the present application further provides a modification method. Specifically, the nanoparticles are modified using a silane coupling agent to obtain slurry A3. The method comprises: adding the nanoparticles to a solvent, ultrasonically dispersing the nanoparticles, then adding the silane coupling agent, and then ultrasonically treating the nanoparticles (e.g., for 5 to 10 minutes) to obtain slurry A3. The amount of silane coupling agent added is 0.5-2% of the mass of the nanoparticles. Nanoparticles serve as nucleation sites for cerium-zirconium nanocrystals and are prone to agglomeration. Therefore, the purpose of the modification is to prevent nanoparticle agglomeration and promote dispersion, thereby facilitating the nucleation and growth of the oxygen storage material. The introduction of silicon can also improve the performance of the oxygen storage material.

[0096] The solvent is a solvent in which the volume ratio of ethanol to water is (2-8):1.

[0097] The ultrasonic dispersion time can be determined according to actual needs, mainly to ensure that the nanoparticles can be dispersed as evenly as possible in the solvent. For example, the ultrasonic dispersion time can be 3 to 5 minutes.

[0098] The nanoparticles include one or more of nano silicon dioxide and nano α-alumina powder.

[0099] Through extensive research, the applicant discovered that modified silica and α-alumina can produce the above-mentioned effects. However, experiments have shown that the corresponding modified γ-alumina cannot perform well. This may be because γ-alumina has poor thermal stability and undergoes phase transformation and sintering during the roasting process, resulting in structural collapse and degradation of the performance of the oxygen storage material.

[0100] The average particle size of the nanoparticles is 5 to 30 nm. If the particle size is less than 5 nm, the nanoparticles will aggregate and polymerize, and even modification will make it difficult to suppress the aggregation. If the particle size is greater than 30 nm, the nanoparticles themselves will be too large to be suitable as nucleation sites.

[0101] The silane coupling agent includes an amino-alkyl silane coupling agent. There are also various optional types of amino-alkyl silane coupling agents, which can be determined according to actual preparation needs. For example, as an example, the amino-alkyl silane coupling agent includes one or more of γ-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane, γ-aminopropyltriethoxysilane, γ-ureapropyltriethoxysilane, and γ-(β-aminoethyl)aminopropyltrimethoxysilane.

[0102] The amino hydrocarbon-based silane coupling agent is used because it can be decomposed during the subsequent calcination process without introducing other impurities, and the gas generated by the decomposition can promote the formation of a porous structure.

[0103] The embodiment of the present application also provides a low-temperature, high-performance oxygen storage material, which is prepared using the preparation method of the low-temperature, high-performance oxygen storage material.

[0104] The embodiment of the present application also provides an automobile exhaust purification catalyst, which includes the low-temperature, high-performance oxygen storage material.

[0105] The present application is described in detail below through several examples and comparative examples.

[0106] Characterization methods

[0107] 1. Specific surface area characterization

[0108] The specific surface area of the catalysts of each example was characterized freshly (before aging) and after aging at 1000°C (after aging). The test method was as follows: the sample was first pretreated under vacuum at 300°C for 3 hours. Then, an adsorption test was performed at -196°C (liquid nitrogen) using high-purity N2 as the adsorption gas, and a desorption test was performed at 25°C. The specific surface area of the sample was calculated using the BET method (Autosorb SI fully automatic specific surface and pore size analyzer, Quantachrome). Specific surface area retention rate = specific surface area after aging / specific surface area before aging × 100%

[0109] 2. Characterization of low temperature reaction activity

[0110] The oxygen storage material powder after high-temperature aging and the Rh / Al2O3 powder loaded with Rh (0.5wt%) were physically mixed in a mortar in a mass ratio of 1:1, pressurized and crushed to obtain a pressed sheet catalyst with a diameter of 0.5mm to 1mm for automobile exhaust purification.

[0111] 20 mg of the resulting catalyst was weighed and its oxygen absorption and release were measured using a thermogravimetric analyzer. The oxygen absorption and release rate is the amount of oxygen absorbed and released per 20 mg of catalyst at 250°C (O₂-mg / cat-20 mg). The catalyst sample was placed in the sample cell of the thermogravimetric analyzer. A reducing atmosphere consisting of H₂ (4% by volume) and N₂ (96% by volume) and an oxidizing atmosphere consisting of O₂ (5% by volume) and N₂ (95% by volume) were alternately passed through the sample at a flow rate of 100 ml / min at 250°C for 20 minutes, for a total of 120 minutes (reduction-oxidation cycles repeated three times). The oxygen absorption and release rate was determined from the reversible weight change using the thermogravimetric analyzer. The value on the oxygen-releasing side (reducing side) was used for evaluation.

[0112] Sample description: Freshly prepared sample (before aging), sample after high temperature aging at 1000℃ (after aging).

[0113] Example 1:

[0114] A method for preparing a low-temperature, high-performance oxygen storage material comprises the following steps:

[0115] S01: Weigh cerium nitrate, zirconium carbonate, lanthanum nitrate, and yttrium nitrate, dissolve the cerium nitrate, lanthanum nitrate, and yttrium nitrate in aqueous hydrogen peroxide, dissolve zirconium carbonate in aqueous nitric acid, and mix and stir the aforementioned solutions to obtain solution A1;

[0116] S02: Weigh ammonium carbonate and dissolve it in deionized water to prepare a mixed solution A2 of ammonium carbonate and ammonia water in a molar ratio of 1:1;

[0117] S03: Weigh α-alumina powder with an average particle size of 10 nm and add it to an ethanol aqueous solution. Ultrasonic dispersion is performed for 5 minutes.

[0193]

[0194] From the test data in the table, it can be seen that the oxygen storage material prepared in the examples has a very high specific surface area, high temperature aging resistance and excellent reaction activity at low temperatures.

[0195] It can be seen from the test data of Example 1 and Comparative Example 1 that without adding pretreated modified α-alumina powder, the specific surface area, high temperature aging resistance and excellent reaction activity at low temperature of the oxygen storage material will all decrease, and the decrease will be large.

[0196] The test data from Example 1 and Comparative Example 2 demonstrate that pretreatment and modification of nanoparticles are crucial for effectively increasing the specific surface area and reactivity after aging. Nanoparticles, which serve as nucleation sites for cerium-zirconium nanocrystals, are prone to agglomeration. Therefore, the purpose of modification is to prevent nanoparticle agglomeration and promote dispersion, thereby facilitating the nucleation and growth of the oxygen storage material. The introduction of silicon also enhances the performance of the oxygen storage material.

[0197] The test data from Example 1 and Comparative Example 3 demonstrate that low-temperature aging is crucial for effectively increasing the specific surface area and reactivity after aging. Compared to the room-temperature aging method used in the prior art, the present invention undergoes both low-temperature and high-temperature aging before cooling to room temperature. Choosing low-temperature aging first reduces nucleation in the cerium-zirconium compound itself, prioritizing nucleation on the modified nanoparticles. Low-temperature aging for a period of time allows uniform nucleation and growth of all grains in the system.

[0198] It can be seen from the test data of Example 1 and Comparative Example 4 that if the nanoparticles are replaced with γ-alumina powder, although the fresh sample of the oxygen storage material can obtain a higher surface area, its aged specific surface area will decrease, which may be related to the poor thermal stability of γ-alumina. In addition, it was unexpectedly found that γ-alumina also significantly reduces the low-temperature reaction activity, which may be related to the different crystal planes exposed by γ-alumina and α-alumina when inducing the growth of cerium-zirconium nanocrystals.
