Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of selective hydrogenation catalysts for carbon dioxide, and particularly relates to a nickel-based photothermal catalyst for selective hydrogenation of carbon dioxide, its preparation method and application. Background Technology

[0002] To alleviate dependence on fossil fuels and address the increasingly severe climate problem, developing sustainable technologies to provide clean energy and carbon dioxide (CO2) fixation is crucial for human societal development. Utilizing clean and widely available solar energy to drive the conversion of CO2 into fuels and chemicals is a promising technology. Among these, photothermal catalytic CO2 hydrogenation converts photons into heat energy to raise the catalyst surface temperature, thereby efficiently converting CO2 into high-value-added products such as carbon monoxide (CO) and methane (CH4). Of these products, CH4 has attracted widespread attention because it can be directly injected into established natural gas pipelines.

[0003] However, in the photothermal catalytic synthesis of CH4 from CO2, the catalysts used are still limited to expensive noble metal-based catalysts, such as ruthenium (Ru) and rhodium (Rh). Using noble metal-based catalysts increases the cost of CO2 hydrogenation to CH4, hindering large-scale application. Nickel (Ni), compared to noble metals like Ru and Rh, is relatively abundant and inexpensive. However, nickel catalysts exhibit low catalytic performance in selective CO2 hydrogenation. Therefore, how to prepare a low-cost, highly active, and highly selective nickel catalyst for the hydrogenation of CO2 to CH4 is a pressing technical problem that needs to be solved in this field. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of the above, in order to at least partially solve at least one of the aforementioned technical problems, the present invention provides a nickel-based photothermal catalyst for selective hydrogenation of CO2, its preparation method and application. The nickel-based photothermal catalyst prepared by the method of the present invention not only has high activity, high selectivity and stability, but also has a simple preparation method and low cost.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution provided in this disclosure is as follows:

[0006] According to embodiments of this disclosure, a method for preparing a nickel-based photothermal catalyst for selective hydrogenation of CO2 is provided, comprising:

[0007] An intermediate mixture was prepared by sol-gel method using a nickel source and a carrier metal source.

[0008] The intermediate mixture was pyrolyzed to obtain a composite oxide.

[0009] Photoreduction of composite oxides under light using a reducing atmosphere yields a nickel-based photothermal catalyst for the selective hydrogenation of CO2.

[0010] According to embodiments of this disclosure, a nickel-based photothermal catalyst prepared by the above-described method is provided.

[0011] According to embodiments of this disclosure, the application of the above-described nickel-based photothermal catalyst in the photothermal catalytic hydrogenation reaction of carbon dioxide is provided.

[0012] According to embodiments of the present invention, the method uses a sol-gel method to prepare an intermediate mixture, which is then pyrolyzed in air to obtain a composite oxide. Simultaneously, photoreduction is performed under a reducing atmosphere to replace traditional high-temperature calcination. The resulting nickel-based photothermal catalyst differs from common doped oxide forms, allowing for uniform coordination of ligands and metals, resulting in uniform dispersion of nickel nanoparticles on the support, making them less prone to polymerization, and exhibiting a high nickel metal loading. Due to its high loading and unique bonding mechanism, the resulting nickel catalyst exhibits high reactivity, good selectivity, and strong stability in the photothermal CO2 selective hydrogenation reaction. Furthermore, the use of photoreduction results in a low-cost and simple preparation method, possessing potential for industrial production. Attached Figure Description

[0019] The embodiments of the present disclosure will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, it should be understood that these descriptions are exemplary only and are not intended to limit the scope of the disclosure. In the following detailed description, numerous specific details are set forth to provide a thorough understanding of the embodiments of the present disclosure for ease of explanation. However, it will be apparent that one or more embodiments may be practiced without these specific details. Furthermore, descriptions of well-known structures and techniques are omitted in the following description to avoid unnecessarily obscuring the concepts of the present disclosure.

[0020] The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit this disclosure. The terms “comprising,” “including,” etc., as used herein indicate the presence of the stated features, steps, operations, and / or components, but do not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, steps, operations, or components.

[0021] Glossary of terms in this invention:

[0022] Doped oxides: Doped metal oxides refer to metal A being doped into the lattice of metal B oxide. There will be phases of B oxide, but no phases of metal A oxide will appear, and the content of metal A is low.

[0023] Composite oxides: Composite oxides are oxides formed by the combination of metal A and metal B. They contain both oxide phases of metal A and metal B, and can be described using a core-shell structure, such as A@BO. x Meanwhile, the content of metal A is relatively high.

[0024] Austenite ripening, also known as grain refinement, is a process that describes the changes in a non-uniform structure over time. In solid solutions or sols, smaller crystal or sol particles dissolve and redeposit onto larger crystal or sol particles. This process can lead to grain refinement, improving the material's mechanical properties and corrosion resistance.

[0025] Ligands: also known as surfactants, ligands coordinate with metals to prevent metal aggregation and make particles more uniform.

[0026] The traditional method for preparing nickel-based photothermal catalysts is the impregnation method. However, the metal particles prepared by the traditional impregnation method are not uniform in size and are prone to sintering and agglomeration. In order to solve this technical problem, we prepared nickel-based photothermal catalysts by sol-gel method, pyrolysis method and photoreduction method. By coordinating ligands with metal, the metal particles are more uniformly distributed. At the same time, there is a strong interaction between metal and support, which reduces the agglomeration of metal particles, in order to solve the above-mentioned technical problems.

[0027] According to embodiments of this disclosure, a method for preparing a nickel-based photothermal catalyst for selective hydrogenation of CO2 is provided, such as... Figure 1 As shown, steps S1 to S3 are included:

[0028] In step S1: An intermediate mixture is prepared using a nickel source and a carrier metal source via a sol-gel method;

[0031] According to embodiments of the present invention, the method of the present invention uses the sol-gel method to prepare an intermediate mixture, which is then pyrolyzed in air to obtain a composite oxide. Unlike common doped oxide forms, this method allows for uniform coordination of ligands and metals, resulting in a high nickel metal loading. Simultaneously, the method uses photo-irradiation for reduction in a reducing atmosphere to replace traditional high-temperature calcination, reducing preparation costs and simplifying the process. Due to its high loading and special bonding mode, the prepared nickel catalyst exhibits advantages such as high reactivity, good selectivity, and strong stability in the photothermal CO2 selective hydrogenation reaction.

[0032] According to an embodiment of this disclosure, in step S1, the sol-gel method involves uniformly mixing a nickel source, a carrier metal source, and additives to obtain a mixed sol solution.

When the molar ratio of support to nickel metal salt is 10:1, the nickel metal loading of the obtained nickel-based catalyst is 5 wt%. The molar ratio of nickel metal salt to support salt affects the nickel loading, dispersion and particle size, thereby affecting the CO2 hydrogenation reaction activity.

[0043] According to embodiments of this disclosure, in step S1, the additive comprises a surfactant and an organic solvent;

[0044] The surfactant includes at least one of polyether, polyvinylpyrrolidone, and polyethylene glycol;

[0047] According to embodiments of this disclosure, surfactants can make metal particles more evenly distributed and prevent them from agglomerating during annealing; the ratio of nickel metal salt to surfactant affects nickel dispersion and particle size, thereby affecting the activity of CO2 hydrogenation.

[0048] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, in step S1, an acid is added to the mixed sol solution to make the pH of the mixed sol solution less than 7, and the acid includes at least one of hydrochloric acid, glacial acetic acid, and nitric acid.
