Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of catalyst preparation, and in particular to an electrocatalyst based on a cationic conductive modified layer, and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Electrocatalytic CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) refers to the use of renewable electricity resources to convert carbon dioxide (CO2) into valuable chemicals and fuels, which is of great significance to promoting resource recycling and promoting sustainable development. In the CO2RR process, the electrolyte includes acidic and alkaline media. Among them, in alkaline media, CO2 will react with hydroxides in the electrolyte to form carbonates. The deposition of carbonates will greatly limit the utilization efficiency of CO2 (SPCE C2+ <25%), and cause serious energy loss. In acidic medium, although the H + It can effectively alleviate the formation and deposition of hydrochloride, but the abundant proton source in the acidic medium will lead to competitive HER. Competitive HER is more likely to occur than CO2RR. The occurrence of competitive HER will aggravate the degree of catalyst structural reconstruction and degradation, thereby limiting the selectivity and activity of CO2RR.

[0003] Catalysts are the main factor that determines the selectivity, stability and activity of CO2RR. In order to improve the activity and selectivity of CO2RR in acidic environments, catalysts are often adjusted and modified, such as the introduction of alkali metal cations, hydrophobic ligand modification, organic modification and catalyst structure regulation. Among them, organic molecule modification is a widely used measure. Its principle is to use organic molecules to regulate the microenvironment of the metal surface. Organic molecules can give catalysts unique electronic and steric effects, provide additional adsorption sites for catalytic reactions, and introduce special functional groups into organic molecules to regulate the stability of reaction intermediates. However, the electron transfer ability of most organic molecules is low, which greatly limits their application in CO2RR.

[0004] In the prior art, CN118345415A discloses a polyaniline-supported copper catalyst that can be used for electrocatalytic CO2 reduction reaction. Its preparation method is as follows: dissolving aniline in an acidic solution, adding ammonium persulfate to react and obtain polyaniline; dispersing polyaniline in water, adding the dispersion to a copper ion salt and a nitrogen-containing alkaline solution to react to form a complex, and then calcining at high temperature to reduce the copper ions to metallic copper to obtain a polyaniline-supported copper catalyst. Since the polyaniline is not doped and modified in the above patent, the electron transfer ability of the polyaniline is still low, and it is unable to quickly and effectively transfer electrons to the reaction substrate, thereby limiting the efficiency of CO2RR. In addition, using undoped and modified polyaniline-supported copper as a catalyst makes it difficult to create a local high pH microenvironment, so that HER still dominates, thereby reducing the selectivity and activity of CO2RR, and it is difficult to efficiently convert CO2 into the target product.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to use polyaniline, an organic molecule, as a matrix material and to dope and modify it to prepare an electrocatalyst in order to improve the electron transfer rate of polyaniline and thus improve the selectivity of the electrocatalyst in catalyzing CO2 reduction in acidic media. Summary of the Invention

The electrocatalyst prepared by the present invention accelerates the kinetic process of multi-proton coupled electron transfer in CO2RR by combining microenvironmental regulation with enhanced intrinsic catalytic activity, thereby improving the performance of CO2RR under acidic conditions.

[0010] (2) A cationic conductive modifying material, isopropyl alcohol, and a binder are mixed and ultrasonically treated to obtain a catalyst ink, and the catalyst ink is sprayed onto a Cu-based electrocatalyst to obtain an electrocatalyst based on a cationic conductive modifying layer.

[0011] Preferably, in step (1), the molar ratio of aniline, ammonium persulfate and 2-aminobenzenesulfonic acid is 1:(0.5-1):(0.5-1).

[0012] Preferably, in step (1), the grinding time is 5-15 min.

[0013] Preferably, in step (1), the reaction time is 20-40 min.

[0014] Preferably, in step (1), during the washing process, ultrapure water and ethanol are used for washing 2-3 times.

[0015] Preferably, in step (1), the drying method is vacuum drying, the drying time is 11-13 hours, and the drying temperature is 50-70°C.

[0016] Preferably, in step (2), the Cu-based electrocatalyst is prepared by the following method:

[0017] Copper nanoparticles, isopropyl alcohol and perfluorosulfonic acid resin are mixed and ultrasonically treated, and the ultrasonically treated system is sprayed onto a GDE electrode to form a copper nanoparticle catalyst layer, thereby obtaining a Cu-based electrocatalyst.

[0018] Furthermore, in the Cu-based electrocatalyst, the thickness of the copper nanoparticle catalyst layer is 5-7 μm, and the loading amount of the copper nanoparticles is 0.4-0.6 mg / cm 2 ; The ultrasonic treatment time is 20-40 min; the addition ratio of copper nanoparticles, isopropanol and perfluorosulfonic acid resin is (15-20) mg:2 mL:100 μL.

[0019] Preferably, in step (2), the loading amount of the cationic conductive modifying material in the electrocatalyst based on the cationic conductive modifying layer is 0.4-0.6 mg / cm 2 .

[0020] Preferably, in step (2), the ultrasonic treatment time is 20-40 min.

[0021] Preferably, in step (2), the added amount ratio of the cationic conductive modifying material, isopropyl alcohol and adhesive is (10-20) mg:2 mL:60 μL; wherein the adhesive is perfluorosulfonic acid resin.

[0022] The second aspect of the present invention provides an electrocatalyst based on a cationic conductive modified layer prepared by the above preparation method.

[0023] The third aspect of the present invention provides the use of the above-mentioned electrocatalyst based on the cationic conductive modified layer in electrocatalytic CO2 reduction.

[0024] Preferably, an acidic electrolyte is used in the electrocatalytic CO2 reduction process; in the acidic electrolyte, the concentration of KCl is 0.8-1.2M, and the concentration of H2SO4 is 0.04-0.06M.

[0025] Beneficial effects of the present invention:

[0026] 1. This invention uses 2-aminobenzenesulfonic acid to dope polyaniline to produce a cationic conductive modified material (ABSA-PANI). This cationically conductive modified material is then combined with a copper-based catalyst to produce an electrocatalyst based on a cationic conductive modified layer. This electrocatalyst combines microenvironmental manipulation with enhanced intrinsic catalytic activity to accelerate the kinetics of multi-proton coupled electron transfer in CO₂RR, thereby improving CO₂RR performance under acidic conditions.

[0027] Specifically, in acidic medium (pH ≤ 1) and high current density (600 mA / cm 2 ), the Faradaic efficiency of multi-carbon products can reach up to 81%, corresponding to a partial current density of 486 mA cm -2 At the same time, it has a single-pass CO2 conversion efficiency of up to 52.8% and a cathode energy efficiency of 27%.

[0028] 2. The present invention uses 2-aminobenzenesulfonic acid to dope polyaniline to prepare ABSA-PAN. On the one hand, when 2-aminobenzenesulfonic acid is doped with polyaniline, the charge on the polyaniline molecular chain is delocalized, and the electron cloud is rearranged to form a conjugated structure. This structural change significantly reduces the interfacial electron transfer resistance and improves the electron conductivity. Compared with undoped polyaniline, the charge transfer resistance of ABSA-PAN is significantly reduced, which can more efficiently promote carrier transfer in the electrocatalytic process, provide more favorable electron transport conditions for CO2RR, and improve reaction kinetics. On the other hand, the imine group of the doped polyaniline is protonated to form a high-density cationic site on the molecular skeleton. These cationic sites can enrich alkali metal cations (such as K + ), and can also inhibit H + mass transfer and limit the in situ generated OH - Through these effects, a stable local high pH microenvironment is successfully constructed. In this microenvironment, HER is effectively inhibited because the high pH environment is not conducive to H +Electrons are obtained to generate H2; at the same time, the enhanced alkalinity facilitates the adsorption and activation of CO2, promoting its conversion to multi-carbon products and improving the selectivity and activity of CO2RR. Finally, 2-aminobenzenesulfonic acid-doped polyaniline acts as a cationic conductive modification layer, providing protection for the copper catalyst. It can hinder the penetration of electrolyte into copper nanoparticles and reduce direct contact between acidic substances and copper, thereby effectively delaying the degradation and reconstruction of copper nanoparticles under acidic conditions and improving the stability of the electrocatalyst. Experiments show that the doped and modified Cu / ABSA-PANI catalyst can maintain its original morphology during the reaction, while the surface of the unmodified copper catalyst undergoes significant changes, demonstrating the important role of doping in improving catalyst stability.

[0029] 3. The present invention adopts ABSA-PANI as a cationic conductive modification layer and combines it with copper nanoparticles to prepare an electrocatalyst that achieves high selectivity for C without high voltage. 2+ The formation of products, in order to improve the conversion of CO2 to C under acidic conditions 2+ Product conversion provides a route with high energy efficiency and good operational stability.

[0030] The electrocatalyst produced by this invention maintains excellent CO2 electroreduction performance even at low alkali metal cation concentrations, low CO2 concentrations, and low applied potentials. This opens up the possibility of practical industrial applications of CO2 electroreduction reactions, particularly in conjunction with the capture and utilization of CO2 in flue gas.

During the transfer process, the electrode voltage is always kept constant to maintain the electrochemical state of the electrode surface and ensure that the adsorbed K + No premature desorption due to voltage changes. After the electrode is immersed in ultrapure water, the voltage is removed. At this time, K adsorbed on the catalyst surface + The K-containing + Ultrapure water was tested to determine the K + The concentration of Figure 6 shown.
