Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of biomass hydrogen production, and specifically relates to a method for producing hydrogen through photoelectric iron synergistic catalytic reforming of biomass. Background Art

[0002] Compared with traditional thermochemical catalytic methods, the photocatalytic conversion of biomass to produce H2 has milder reaction conditions (normal temperature and pressure) and requires lower energy consumption.

[0003] Professors Kawai and Sakata first proposed a method for producing hydrogen by photocatalytic biomass reforming (Kawai T, Sakata T. Conversion of carbohydrate into hydrogen fuel by a photocatalytic process. Nature, 1980, 286, 474-476.). This method uses RuO2 / TiO2 / Pt as photoactive materials and uses sugar compounds as electron sacrificial agents to produce hydrogen under the irradiation of a high-pressure mercury lamp (500 W, λ<320 nm). Since the reaction is carried out under ultraviolet conditions and 13 mg of substrate requires 150 mg of RuO2 / TiO2 / Pt photoactive material, it is not realistic to apply this method industrially. Professor Hsisheng Teng used graphene quantum dots loaded with precious metal platinum (Pt) as photoactive materials to produce hydrogen by oxidizing biomass to produce active oxygen species. The reaction only achieved an 18% yield in 6 days. In addition, when native biomass was used as the reaction substrate, the reaction required the addition of a large amount of strong base as an additive; therefore, this catalytic method not only used precious metal Pt as a co-catalyst, but also had a very low reaction efficiency (Van-Can, N., Nimbalkar, DB, Nam, LD, Lee, Y.-L. & Teng, H. Photocatalytic cellulose reforming for H2 and formate production by using graphene oxide-dot catalysts. ACS Catal., 2021, 11, 4955–4967.). Researcher Wang Feng and Professor Paolo Fornasiero jointly proposed a biomass H2 production method of "CC bond priority" cleavage. Ta-doped CeO2 was used to cleave the CC bonds of biopolyols and sugars and convert them into formic acid and formaldehyde. Then, Pt / P25 was used as a photocatalyst or Ru complex was used as a thermal catalyst to decompose formic acid and formaldehyde into H2. The hydrogen yields were theoretical values ​​for hydrogen production from photocatalytic glucose reforming (C6H 12O6+6H2O→12H2+6CO2) (33% and 30% (Ren, P. et al. Stepwise photoassisted decomposition of carbohydrates to H2. Joule, 2023, 7, 333–349.). This method also inevitably uses the precious metal Pt as a co-catalyst, and the maximum hydrogen yield is only 33%.

[0004] In summary, the reaction conditions of the above existing methods are still relatively harsh. When using raw biomass as reactants, a large amount of additives need to be added, and expensive precious metals are used to prepare catalysts, which undoubtedly increases the cost of practical application. The essence of this type of catalyst is to directly oxidize biomass molecules through active oxygen species or holes. Since the oxidation process is not selective, the H2 yield and selectivity are low. Therefore, the development of a high-yield and high-selectivity biomass reforming hydrogen production method under mild conditions (normal temperature and pressure) using non-precious metals is an important problem that needs to be solved urgently. Summary of the invention

[0005] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the above-mentioned prior art, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for hydrogen production by biomass reforming by photoelectric-iron synergistic catalysis, which adopts a photoelectric combination method at room temperature and pressure without adding any additives, uses cheap and readily available non-precious metal iron as a catalyst, forms a complex with iron and biomass molecules, and a ligand-to-metal charge transfer process (LMCT) occurs under visible light conditions to achieve the sequential breaking of the C-C bonds of the biomass molecules to carbon dioxide and protons, and uses the electrochemical cathode to reduce protons to release hydrogen, thereby completing the efficient conversion of water reforming biomass to hydrogen.

[0006] In order to achieve the above object, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is:

[0007] A method for producing hydrogen by photoelectric iron synergistic catalytic reforming of biomass comprises the following steps:

[0008] The biomass and its derivatives are placed in an aqueous solution, and an iron salt catalyst and an inorganic salt electrolyte are added, wherein 6-180 mL of aqueous solution, 0.00808-0.4 g of iron salt catalyst, and 0.1-3 g of inorganic salt electrolyte are added for every 1 g of biomass and its derivatives, and bubbling deoxygenation is performed; a graphite electrode is used as an anode, and a Ni, Cu, Mg or graphite electrode is used as a cathode, 1-50 mA current is passed for electrolysis, and a light reaction is carried out at 20-40°C, the light intensity is: 3-20 W, and the light wavelength is: 400-480 nm.

[0009] After the reaction, the hydrogen yield was determined by GC. The hydrogen yield was calculated based on the hydrogen production from photocatalytic glucose reforming. 12 O6+6H2O→12H2+6CO2.

[0010] The biomass and its derivatives are glucose, xylose, arabinose, rhamnose, erythrose, glyceraldehyde, glycoaldehyde, cellobiose, xylan, cellulose, fructose, sorbitol, glycerol, and wheat straw, corn straw, rice straw or reed stalk.

[0011] The iron salt catalyst is FeCl2·4H2O, FeCl3·6H2O, Fe2(SO4)3, Fe(NO3)3·9H2O, Fe(acac)3 or Fe(OTf)3.

[0012] The inorganic salt electrolyte is NaCl, NaNO3, Na2SO4, Na2CO3, LiCl, LiNO3 or LiClO4.

[0013] Table 1 Summary of methods and conditions for photocatalytic biomass reforming to produce hydrogen

[0014]

[0015] Referring to Table 1, compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0016] 1. The reaction conditions are milder. The present invention achieves a higher hydrogen yield without using ultraviolet light and a lower power light source.

[0017] 2. The catalyst is cheap, readily available and non-toxic. The co-catalysts used in the prior art heterogeneous photocatalytic biomass hydrogen production reaction are mostly precious metal catalysts, and the cadmium in cadmium sulfide (CdS) is toxic and seriously pollutes the environment; the iron catalyst used in the present invention is cheap, readily available and non-polluting to the environment.

[0018] 3. Reduced use of additives. In the prior art, except for water-soluble compounds such as glucose as substrates, other poorly soluble substrates require the use of a certain amount of additives to promote biomass conversion, which invisibly increases the conversion cost and limits its industrial application. The present invention can achieve efficient conversion of biomass and its derivatives without any additives, and does not require the participation of a large amount of organic solvents, thereby reducing costs and environmental pollution.

[0019] 4. Highest hydrogen yield. In addition to the two literatures mentioned in the background technology that reported H2 yields of 18% and 33% (calculated relative to the theoretical value of hydrogen production from photocatalytic glucose reforming), most literature only gives the unit of mmolg - 1 h -1 The data do not give percentage yields.

[0020] In summary, the present invention adopts a photoelectric combination method under normal temperature and pressure without adding additives, uses cheap and easily available non-precious metal iron as a catalyst, forms a complex with iron and biomass molecules, and a ligand-to-metal charge transfer process (LMCT) occurs under visible light conditions to achieve the sequential breaking of the CC bonds of biomass molecules to carbon dioxide and protons, and uses electrochemical cathode reduction of protons to release hydrogen, completing the efficient conversion of water reforming biomass to produce hydrogen. Compared with the prior art, the original ecological biomass hydrogen production yield of the present invention is high; the present invention is a water-phase reaction system, which does not require the participation of a large amount of organic solvents, reducing costs and environmental pollution; compared with other catalytic systems, the catalytic system of the present invention has strong compatibility (compatible with various biomass and its derivatives), mild reaction conditions (visible light, normal temperature, normal pressure), high H2 selectivity, and low cost (non-precious metal, no additives required).
