Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of catalysts, in particular to a supported low-temperature ammonia oxidation reaction catalyst containing metal W and Pt as well as a preparation method and application thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Due to the large increase of environmental protection energy, H2 as a product releasing pure H2O has attracted attention; however, in practical application, there are two key problems of H2 as a clean energy, i.e. difficult storage conditions and high transportation cost. In particular, hydrogen-containing organic and inorganic compounds and carbon-containing organic matters such as methanol and ethanol have been studied as liquid fuels for direct fuel cells due to their easy storage; however, as the main liquid fuel, methanol and ethanol still have the problem of carbon emission in the process of converting the process of generating additional carbon dioxide emissions into electrochemical energy in the power generation process; in order to achieve the "double carbon" goal, reduce fuel storage and transportation cost, adapt to international energy policy, and realize zero carbon emission, the direct ammonia fuel cell with NH3 as input has attracted widespread attention of researchers; compared with the hydrogen oxidation reaction of hydrogen fuel cell, the anode ammonia electrochemical oxidation reaction (AOR) process is complex and has slow kinetics, and the reaction faces high initial potential, catalyst easy to quickly deactivate and low peak current, etc.; the development of catalysts with good stability and high activity will be beneficial to the development of direct ammonia fuel cell; at present, the commonly used AOR catalysts are noble metal catalysts represented by Pt-based catalysts and non-noble metal catalysts represented by Ni, Cu, etc.; the structural characteristics of these catalysts directly affect the catalytic performance of AOR; according to the Sabatier principle, the active metal should follow the order of the strength of the *M-N bond: Ru > Rh > Pd > Ir > Pt, Au, Ag, Cu; among them, the Pt-N bond has a relatively moderate binding energy, which makes Pt have good ammonia oxidation activity; therefore, Pt-based catalysts are the most common noble metal catalysts for AOR; however, low reserves and high price limit its large-scale application; how to improve the atomic utilization rate and unit activity of Pt is the key to the research of Pt-based catalysts.

[0003] Chen et al. designed a W / WO2 metal-type heterojunction material on a foam nickel substrate, which can effectively improve the hydrogen production activity of alkaline water electrolysis through synergistic catalytic effect; (Nat Commun.2023, 14, 5363.) Li et al. synthesized tungsten-doped catalyst material W0.03Fe0.2Ni(OH)2LDH, which showed excellent electrochemical oxygen evolution (OER) and hydrogen evolution (HER) performance; (Chinese Journal of Inorganic Chemistry.2020, 36(8): 1492-1498); but these studies have not applied transition metal type catalysts to ammonia electrocatalytic oxidation; the performance breakthrough of ammonia oxidation anode catalyst has not been achieved.

[0069] The catalyst prepared in the following examples was electrochemically tested in an alkaline solution as follows:

[0070] 2-4 mg of the catalyst prepared in this example was weighed into a 5 mL sample bottle with a 1:1 ratio of isopropanol and Nafion solution, and the solution was uniformly dispersed by ultrasonic to obtain a slurry. A certain amount of the solution was slowly added to a glassy carbon electrode, and the metal content loaded on the glassy carbon electrode was controlled to be 4 μg. After normal drying at room temperature, electrochemical testing was performed. The electrochemical testing used a five-port electrolytic cell, about 50-70 mL of electrolyte was poured into the five-port electrolytic cell (along the edge of the five-port electrolytic cell), a glassy carbon working electrode was placed in the center of the electrolytic cell (above the solution surface), a graphite rod was placed as a counter electrode, a reference electrode Luggin capillary (Hg / HgO) was placed, and a gas inlet pipe and a gas outlet device were placed. Before testing, Ar gas was passed through the upper end of the gas inlet pipe to remove dissolved oxygen. During testing, the gas inlet pipe was switched to the lower end for continuous aeration (to avoid gas interference and to be in an Ar atmosphere), and the working electrode was placed at an appropriate depth below the liquid surface.

[0071] The catalyst was activated by scanning 15-20 times at a speed of 100 mV / s in an Ar-saturated 1 M KOH solution. A certain range of voltage, scan rate, and scan number were set to clean and activate the electrode surface. If the curves overlap, the activation is successful. Then, the test was switched to an Ar-saturated 1 M KOH + 0.1 M NH3 alkaline solution, and the catalyst was recovered at a reduction potential (-0.85 V vs. Hg / HgO) for at least 100 s. Then, a CV curve was tested at 5 mV / s and 3-4 cycles as a basis for catalyst performance testing.

[0072] The physical structure characterization test method of the catalyst prepared in the following examples in an alkaline solution is as follows:

[0073] The powder X-ray diffractometer (XRD) used a X'Pert3 Powder instrument from the Netherlands PANalytical company, a Cu target Kα radiation source with a laser incident wavelength of 0.15406 nm, a working voltage of 45 kV, and a current of 40 mA. The results were analyzed by HighScore Plus to obtain the composition and crystal structure information of the sample. The test range was: 2θ = 10-90°.

[0074] Field emission scanning electron microscopy (SEM) used a S-4800 type field emission scanning electron microscope from Hitachi company to observe the morphology and size of the catalyst surface. The sample to be tested was dried before testing, and the carrier and catalyst samples with poor conductivity were sprayed before testing. The test working voltage was 5 kV, and the current was 7 μA.

[0075] The XRD patterns of the supports prepared in Examples 1, 2 and 3 are shown in Figure 1 The XRD patterns of the supports prepared in Examples 2 and 3 are consistent in structure; the XC72 is mainly composed of a peak group around 25.8°. There are four characteristic diffraction peaks at positions of 40.42°, 58.36°, 73.33° and 86.91°, which are attributed to the metal W species, indicating the successful preparation of the metal W.

[0076] The catalyst activity is shown in Figures 2-4 The activities of Pt / XC72, Pt / W-XC72(10%) and Pt / W-XC72(20%) are 36, 133 and 58 A g-1Pt, respectively. It can be found that the peak current density of Pt / W-XC72(10%) is the best and the performance is the highest, indicating that the metal W as the support can effectively improve the performance.

[0077] As shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4 The electrochemical activities of Pt / W-XC72(10%) and Pt / W-XC72(20%) are compared, and it can be found that the content of W also has an impact on the performance.

[0078] The morphology and structure information of the catalysts are shown in Figure 5 and Figure 6 It can be seen that the Pt is successfully reduced and loaded on the support and uniformly distributed on the support.

[0079] Obviously, the above examples are only examples for clearly illustrating, but not limitation to the embodiments. For those skilled in the art, other different forms of changes or variations can be made on the basis of the above description. Here, it is not necessary and impossible to enumerate all the embodiments. The obvious changes or variations derived therefrom are still within the protection scope of the present application.
