Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of materials preparation technology, and relates to a photothermal catalyst for achieving efficient carbon dioxide reduction: the preparation method of sulfide Ti3C2 (referred to as S-Ti3C2) and its application. Background Technology
[0002] The continuous rise in atmospheric carbon dioxide levels has led to global environmental problems, making the development of sustainable CO2 emission reduction solutions urgent. To date, researchers have developed various technologies to convert CO2 into hydrocarbons or high-value-added chemicals, primarily including thermocatalysis, biocatalysis, photoelectrocatalysis, electrocatalysis, and photocatalytic reduction. Traditional thermocatalytic CO2 reduction reactions require high temperatures (at least 500°C) and high pressures (10 bar). Photocatalytic CO2 reduction mimics natural photosynthesis, utilizing solar energy and photocatalysts to catalytically convert CO2 and H2O (also known as artificial photosynthesis). This allows for the production of solar fuels and high-value-added chemicals such as CO, CH4, and C2H4 under ambient temperature and pressure conditions. Therefore, photocatalytic CO2 reduction technology is considered one of the most promising solutions to global energy and environmental problems.
[0003] In recent years, research on photocatalytic CO2 reduction has been increasing. The photocatalytic CO2 reduction reaction is a complex, multi-step process. Generally, this reaction mainly involves the following three steps:
[0004] ① Semiconductor photocatalysts are excited by light with energy greater than their band gap (Eg);
[0005] ② Separation of photogenerated electrons and photogenerated holes;
[0006] ③ Photogenerated electrons migrate to the surface of the photocatalyst and react with CO2 and H2. + A reaction occurs, forming reduction products. Photogenerated holes react with H2O to produce O2.
[0007] However, due to the C=O dissociation energy (~750 kJ mol) -1 The high-energy barrier imposed by photon excitation makes the development of efficient and inexpensive photocatalysts for converting low-frequency visible and near-infrared (NIR) solar energy into CO2 photoreduction a major challenge.
[0008] Photo-to-thermal (PTT) conversion is an emerging research hotspot that can effectively improve the performance of photocatalytic CO2 reduction systems. When incident light irradiates a photocatalyst, a portion of the absorbed energy is converted into heat through non-radiative relaxation. This increases the temperature of the catalyst and the surrounding reaction environment, promoting CO2 activation and increasing the reaction rate. Materials with broad absorption spectra, especially black materials, can effectively capture the energy of low-frequency visible to near-infrared photons, generating a large amount of heat through PTT conversion, thereby improving catalytic activity and the selectivity of multi-carbon products.
[0009] MXenes are a unique class of two-dimensional (2D) transition metal carbides, carbonitrides, and nitrides, which have broad application prospects in photocatalysis due to their excellent electrical conductivity, large surface area, and strong light absorption properties. Ti3C2, in particular, with its flexible surface tunability and activation ability, is an excellent candidate material for CO2 reduction catalysts. Although researchers have focused more on the application of Ti3C2 in composite catalysts, its inherent active Ti sites and affinity for CO2 molecules suggest that its potential as a standalone catalyst material deserves further exploration. Furthermore, Ti3C2 exhibits excellent photothermal conversion capabilities due to its broad visible to NIR absorption, but its performance needs further improvement. Summary of the Invention
[0010] This invention is based on a CO2 conversion system and combines photothermal catalysis technology to prepare a photothermal catalyst that can achieve efficient carbon dioxide reduction.
[0011] The technical solution of this invention refers to using multilayer Ti3C2 as the base material, and sulfiding it with thiourea to generate TiS2 in situ between its layers, thereby increasing the reactive sites for CO2 reduction inside the catalyst and improving the catalyst's absorption capacity for near-infrared light, thus fully utilizing the photothermal conversion characteristics of the material. The catalytic material is named: S-Ti3C2.
[0012] A method for preparing a photothermal catalyst capable of carbon dioxide reduction, comprising the following specific steps:
[0013] (1) Synthesis of multilayer Ti3C2
[0014] First, a certain amount of Ti3AlC2 is slowly added to the HF solution to avoid overheating, and the mixture is stirred continuously in a room temperature water bath for 24 to 48 hours. After the reaction is completed, the mixture is washed several times with deionized water, centrifuged, and finally the solid residue is collected, vacuum dried, and multilayer Ti3C2 is obtained.
[0015] In step (1), the ratio of Ti3AlC2 to HF solution is 1g:20mL, and the concentration of HF solution is 40wt%.
[0016] (2) Synthesis of S-Ti3C2
[0017] First, a certain amount of thiourea CH4N2S was added to a certain amount of ethanol and stirred at room temperature until the solid was completely dissolved. The resulting solution was labeled as solution A.
[0018] Subsequently, a certain amount of multilayer Ti3C2 was added to a mixed solvent of ethanol and ethylene glycol, and stirred at room temperature for 0.5 to 1 hour. The resulting dispersion system was labeled as solution B.
[0019] Then, solutions A and B are mixed and stirred continuously at room temperature for at least 2 hours. Finally, the mixture is transferred to a high-temperature and high-pressure reactor and subjected to a solvothermal reaction in an oven. After the reaction is completed and cooled to room temperature, the mixture is washed several times with deionized CH4N2S water and ethanol. Finally, the washed precipitate is dried in a vacuum drying oven to obtain S-Ti3C2.
[0020] In step (2), the ratio of thiourea CH4N2S to multilayer Ti3C2 is calculated according to the molar ratio of Ti:S from 1:2 to 1:16.
[0021] In a mixed solvent of ethanol and ethylene glycol, the volume ratio of ethanol to ethylene glycol is 9:1.
[0022] In step (2), the temperature of the solvothermal reaction is 120-180℃ and the time is 12h.
[0023] The S-Ti3C2 prepared according to this invention is used for the photocatalytic reduction of carbon dioxide to produce CO, CH4, and C2H4. The specific operation is as follows:
[0024] The synthesized catalyst S-Ti3C2 was tested for photocatalytic carbon dioxide reduction. The photocatalytic CO2 reduction reaction was carried out in a sealed quartz reactor using a xenon lamp as the light source. First, a certain amount of catalyst was dispersed in an appropriate amount of deionized water and ultrasonically dispersed for 20 minutes to ensure complete dispersion of the powdered catalyst in the water. Subsequently, high-purity CO2 gas (99.999%) was introduced into the reactor and maintained for a sufficient time to completely remove air from the system. The gaseous products obtained after photocatalysis were detected and analyzed by gas chromatography equipped with a flame ionization detector (FID).
[0025] Furthermore, the products of S-Ti3C2 in photocatalytic carbon dioxide reduction were analyzed and tested:
[0026] (i) Selectivity analysis of carbon dioxide reduction products
[0027] The gaseous products were analyzed by gas chromatography every 60 minutes, using high-purity nitrogen (99.999%) as the carrier gas. The concentrations of CO, CH4, C2H4, and other possible hydrocarbon gases were quantified using a flame ionization detector (FID). The yield of the gaseous products was calculated using the following formula:
[0028]
[0029] Yield i This refers to the yield of gaseous product i, V i M refers to the volume of the gaseous products. photocatalyst Irradiation time and Irradiation time are the mass of catalyst added during the reaction and the reaction time, respectively.
[0030] The selectivity of gaseous product i can be calculated from the above results, using the following formula:
[0031]
[0032] Where, n i This represents the number of electrons that need to be transferred to produce gaseous product i during the reaction process.
[0033] (ii) Analysis of the solar energy conversion efficiency of carbon dioxide reduction products
[0034] The energy conversion efficiency from simulated sunlight (xenon lamp, AM 1.5G) to light-to-carbon-fuels (LTF) is calculated using the following formula:
[0035]
[0036] Among them, Rate i This refers to the gas production rate, determined by Yield. i Obtained through transformation This refers to the change in Gibbs free energy of gaseous product i during the reaction process. Light intensity and surface refer to the light intensity and illuminated area of the xenon lamp, respectively. In this experiment, Light intensity = 100 mW cm⁻¹ -2 Surface = 2cm 2 .
[0037] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:
