Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a method for preparing a high-entropy composite oxygen carrier, particularly for the preparation of a high-entropy oxygen carrier in chemical looping gasification hydrogen production. This invention is widely applicable to chemical looping gasification hydrogen production, chemical looping reforming, and other clean energy technology fields, and has significant industrial application value. Background Technology

[0002] With increasing global energy demand and a growing focus on sustainable energy solutions, the potential of hydrogen as a clean energy source is gaining increasing attention. In the field of hydrogen production, chemical looping gasification technology has become a research hotspot due to its high efficiency and low energy consumption. In this technology, the oxygen carrier is a key material responsible for providing oxygen to promote the gasification reaction. While traditional high-entropy oxygen carriers exhibit good performance in catalysis and oxygen release, existing preparation methods often rely on high-temperature calcination, which easily leads to sintering of the oxygen carrier and loss of catalytic activity under high-temperature conditions, and also results in high energy consumption.

[0003] Several studies have proposed different methods for preparing high-entropy oxygen supports. For example, patent CN 118988338A (A high-entropy oxide and its preparation method and application) uses a combination of PVP template method and freeze-drying technology to prepare a high-entropy oxide with good catalytic activity. Another patent CN 116654993 A (A high-entropy oxide oxygen support and its preparation method and application) uses the citric acid sol-gel method combined with a mixed solution of polyethylene glycol and water to prepare a high-entropy oxide with good oxygen release performance. In addition, patent CN 117019168A (A highly stable transition metal high-entropy oxygen carrier and its preparation method and application) proposes a highly stable high-entropy oxygen carrier by combining different transition metals with non-transition metals, and has applied it in chemical looping gasification.

[0004] Although the above technologies have made some progress in improving the catalytic performance and stability of high-entropy oxygen supports, they still face the following challenges:

[0005] (1) Existing methods for preparing high-entropy oxygen carriers often rely on high-temperature calcination, which can lead to sintering and loss of activity of the oxygen carrier;

[0006] (2) Existing preparation methods are generally inefficient and have high energy consumption;

[0007] (3) Most methods cannot maintain the stability and catalytic activity of the oxygen carrier in complex atmospheres for a long time.

[0008] Therefore, this invention proposes an innovative method for preparing high-entropy composite oxygen carriers. By combining low-temperature ultrasonic-assisted mixing, electrochemical activation, and low-temperature calcination, the oxygen release capacity and stability can be significantly improved.

[0009] It combines high efficiency and catalytic activity, while avoiding the sintering problems of traditional methods, reducing energy consumption, and meeting the demand for efficient and stable oxygen carriers in chemical looping gasification hydrogen production. Summary of the Invention

[0010] To achieve the above objectives, this invention provides a method for preparing a high-entropy composite oxygen carrier (FeCoNiCuMnOx high-entropy oxygen carrier), comprising the following steps:

[0011] S1: Preparation and mixing of metal salt solutions;

[0012] S2: Add electrolytes and gelling agents to a metal salt solution to form a stable metal complex sol;

[0013] S3: Freeze-dry the sol at low temperature to obtain anhydrous gel powder;

[0014] S4: Electrochemical activation and compounding of freeze-dried powder;

[0015] S5: After the composite material is calcined at low temperature, it undergoes post-processing steps such as sieving and washing to obtain a high-entropy composite oxygen carrier.

[0016] The metal salt dissolving elements mentioned in step S1 are selected as iron (Fe), cobalt (Co), nickel (Ni), copper (Cu), and manganese (Mn) as the main metal elements, and the preferred molar ratio is Fe:Co:Ni:Cu:Mn = 1:1:1:1:1.

[0017] Further, at room temperature (approximately 25°C), the nitrates of the above metals (Fe(NO3)3·9H2O, Co(NO3)2·6H2O, Ni(NO3)2·6H2O, Cu(NO3)2·5H2O, Mn(NO3)2·4H2O) were weighed out according to the above proportions and added one by one to deionized water. The mixture was stirred at 300 rpm using a magnetic stirrer until all the metal salts were completely dissolved to form a homogeneous solution, thus preparing a mixed metal salt solution with a concentration of 0.1 mol / L.

[0018] The ultrasonic wave mentioned in step S1 is an ultrasonic cleaner with a power of 500W and a frequency of 20kHz.

[0019] Furthermore, the above-mentioned metal salt solution is placed in an ultrasonic cleaner and subjected to ultrasonic treatment for 30 minutes, with intermittent operation (5 minutes of ultrasonic treatment followed by 2 minutes of rest) to prevent overheating.

[0020] The electrolyte mentioned in step S2 is a sodium chloride (NaCl) solution.

[0021] Further, sodium chloride (NaCl) is added to the metal salt solution prepared in step S1, and the mixture is stirred continuously at room temperature until the sodium chloride is completely dissolved, so that its concentration reaches 0.05 mol / L.

[0022] The gelling agent mentioned in step S2 is polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP).

[0023] Further, PVP is dissolved in a small amount of deionized water to prepare a PVP solution with a concentration of 0.5%-2%, which is then slowly added to the metal salt solution prepared in step S1 and stirred continuously for 30 minutes until a uniform sol is formed.

[0024] The freeze-drying described in step S3 is performed using a freeze dryer.

[0025] Further, the sol prepared in step S2 is placed in a refrigerator at -10 to -30°C for 2 hours to pre-cool until the surface begins to freeze.

[0026] Further, the pre-cooled sol was transferred to a freeze dryer, with the temperature set at -40 to -60°C, the pressure at 0.05 mbar to 0.1 mbar, and the drying time at 24 hours, until an anhydrous gel was obtained.

[0027] The electrochemical electrolyte solution mentioned in step S4 is a 0.1 mol / L sodium sulfate (Na2SO4) solution.

[0028] Furthermore, the lyophilized powder material was placed together with a platinum electrode in an electrochemical cell, using an Ag / AgCl electrode as a reference electrode.

[0029] Step S4 electrochemical activation parameters are: at room temperature, apply a voltage of 1-3V, and set the activation time to 1-3h, and perform cyclic voltammetry scans at a scan rate of 5mV / s.

[0030] The composite material described in step S4 uses an oxygen carrier:graphene ratio of 1:0.05-0.1 by mass.

[0031] Furthermore, under the aforementioned electrochemical activation conditions, electrochemical deposition was performed for 1 hour to ensure good composite formation of graphene and oxygen carrier.

[0032] The low-temperature calcination described in step S5 is carried out in a Marfé furnace.

[0033] The calcination atmosphere described in step S5 can be air, nitrogen, or hydrogen.

[0034] Furthermore, the calcination temperature in step S5 is 300-450℃, the calcination time is 3-6h, and the heating rate is 1-4℃ / min.

[0035] Furthermore, the calcined material is washed with deionized water until the pH of the washing solution is close to neutral.

[0036] Furthermore, the washed material is dried at 60°C for 12 hours until constant weight is achieved, thus obtaining the final high-entropy composite oxygen carrier.

[0037] The high-entropy composite oxygen carrier prepared by the above steps in this invention has the following significant advantages:

[0038] (1) High oxygen release capacity: The combination of low-temperature ultrasonic-assisted mixing and electrochemical activation technology can significantly improve the oxygen release rate and efficiency of the oxygen carrier under high temperature environment.

[0039] (2) Excellent catalytic performance: The introduction of composite materials improves the catalytic activity and selectivity of the oxygen carrier, making it suitable for chemical looping gasification to produce hydrogen and other catalytic reactions.

[0040] (3) High stability and cycle performance: The low-temperature calcination process avoids the sintering problem in the traditional high-temperature calcination process, and the oxygen carrier maintains high stability and cycle performance during long-term reaction.

[0041] (4) Energy saving and environmental protection: This method reduces energy consumption through low-temperature synthesis and electrochemical activation processes, and avoids pollution generated during traditional high-temperature calcination. Attached Figure Description
