Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of ammonia decomposition for hydrogen production technology, and particularly to a perovskite-type catalytic material for ammonia decomposition for hydrogen production and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] Hydrogen energy, as the most promising clean energy source in the 21st century, continues to rise in strategic importance against the backdrop of global energy transition. Current technological breakthroughs have made it possible to achieve low-carbon emissions throughout the entire life cycle of hydrogen energy, but technological bottlenecks in storage and transportation severely restrict its large-scale application. Specifically, hydrogen needs to be stored and transported under ultra-low temperatures of -253 ℃ or high pressures of 20 MPa, resulting in persistently high energy costs.
[0003] Against this backdrop, ammonia as a hydrogen energy carrier demonstrates unique advantages. Ammonia molecules have a high hydrogen content of 17.7 wt.% and a liquefaction temperature of only -33 ℃, significantly reducing storage and transportation costs. These characteristics make it a key link connecting renewable energy-based hydrogen production with end-use applications, constructing a zero-carbon cycle system of "green electricity hydrogen production - clean ammonia synthesis - distributed hydrogen supply".
[0004] However, ammonia decomposition for hydrogen production still faces core challenges. For example, traditional non-precious metal supported catalysts for thermocatalytic ammonia decomposition need to operate at high temperatures of 600 ℃-800 ℃, resulting in high energy consumption and poor equipment tolerance. On the other hand, although traditional precious metal ruthenium-based catalysts exhibit excellent activity at medium and low temperatures, their high cost seriously hinders the commercialization process.
[0005] Therefore, it is of great significance to develop inexpensive, efficient and stable non-noble transition metal catalysts for ammonia decomposition reactions. Summary of the Invention

[0020] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is merely illustrative and is in no way intended to limit the present invention or its application or use. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, any product that is the same as or similar to the present invention, derived by any person under the guidance of the present invention or by combining the features of the present invention with other prior art, falls within the protection scope of the present invention. Furthermore, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without inventive effort are within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0021] Specific experimental steps or conditions are not specified in the embodiments; they can be performed according to the conventional experimental steps or conditions described in the prior art. Reagents and other instruments used, unless otherwise specified, are all commercially available conventional reagent products. Furthermore, the accompanying drawings are merely illustrative diagrams of the embodiments of the present invention and are not necessarily drawn to scale. The same reference numerals in the drawings denote the same or similar parts, and therefore, repeated descriptions of them will be omitted. Some block diagrams shown in the drawings are functional entities and do not necessarily correspond to physically or logically independent entities.
[0022] Techniques, methods, and devices known to those skilled in the art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, such techniques, methods, and devices should be considered part of this specification.
[0023] Furthermore, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of the present invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.
[0024] Existing non-precious metal supported ammonia decomposition hydrogen production catalysts are mainly Ni-based, supplemented by Co-based and Fe-based catalysts. The active sites are regulated by metal-support interaction (SMSI), which continuously improves activity and stability on the basis of cost advantage. However, they still face core challenges such as complicated preparation process, high-temperature sintering of catalyst, carbon deposition and deactivation, and imbalance of metal-support interaction.
[0025] Therefore, this invention provides a novel approach to constructing a catalytic material for hydrogen production from ammonia decomposition. Specifically, it uses La as the promoter metal component and non-noble metals Fe, Co, and Ni as the active metal components. By constructing a perovskite structure LaMO3 (M=Fe, Co, Ni), the catalyst exhibits stronger NH bond-breaking ability by leveraging the electronic promoter La's influence on the active metals Fe, Co, and Ni. The perovskite structure LaMO3 (M=Fe, Co, Ni) itself serves as both an active phase precursor and a structural support, eliminating the need for multiple steps such as support selection, loading, and calcination, simplifying the process and reducing preparation costs. Furthermore, after deactivation, this catalytic material can restore its perovskite structure and activity through a redox cycle, with regeneration costs far lower than those of supported catalysts, significantly reducing the catalyst's total lifecycle cost. The specific embodiments of this invention are described in detail below: In a first aspect, the present invention provides a perovskite-type catalyst for hydrogen production by ammonia decomposition, wherein the perovskite-type catalyst is LaMO3; wherein M is selected from at least one of Fe, Co and Ni.
[0026] In this embodiment of the invention, the perovskite-type catalyst LaMO3 (M=Fe, Co, Ni) is both an active phase precursor and a structural support. Under a reducing atmosphere, Fe / Co / Ni can be controllably precipitated from the perovskite lattice to form ultrafine, highly dispersed, lattice-anchored metal nanoparticles with an active site density far higher than that of traditional supported catalysts. Furthermore, there is strong electron transfer and structural anchoring between the La-O framework and the precipitated metal, which significantly improves the metal dispersion and thermal stability, inhibits high-temperature sintering, and gives the catalyst a stronger NH bond-breaking ability. When used to catalyze the decomposition of ammonia to produce hydrogen, the ammonia conversion rate is not less than 95%. Moreover, based on the high-temperature resistance of the perovskite framework, the metal particles precipitated after reduction are lattice-anchored. Therefore, the catalyst has extremely strong anti-sintering and anti-agglomeration capabilities and can operate stably for hundreds to thousands of hours.
[0027] In some implementations, M can be selected from any two or three of Fe, Co and Ni. For example, Fe-Co, Co-Ni, Fe-Ni and Fe-Co-Ni combinations can be introduced into the M site to optimize the binding energy of M and N by utilizing electronic cooperation and geometric effects, thereby significantly improving intrinsic activity.
[0028] In some embodiments, the perovskite-type catalyst is used to catalyze the decomposition of ammonia to produce hydrogen at a reaction temperature of 400 °C–600 °C, a reaction pressure of 0.1 MPa–5 MPa, and a reaction space velocity of 3000 mL·g. -1 ·h -1 -30000 mL·g -1 ·h -1 .
[0029] In practical implementation, traditional supported ammonia decomposition catalysts using non-precious metals such as Ni, Co, and Fe as active components require high temperatures (typically above 600°C) to achieve high ammonia conversion rates due to poor dispersion of active metals, easy sintering and agglomeration, and weak metal-support interactions. In contrast, the perovskite-type catalyst provided in this embodiment can form lattice-anchored, highly dispersed active metal sites in situ under a reducing atmosphere, exhibiting lower activation energy and superior low-temperature catalytic activity. It can catalyze ammonia decomposition at 300°C and achieve high ammonia conversion rates at 500°C–600°C, significantly lower than traditional non-precious metal supported catalysts. The preferred reaction temperature for catalytic ammonia decomposition to hydrogen production in this embodiment is 500°C–600°C, the reaction pressure is 0.1 MPa–1 MPa, and the reaction space velocity is 3000 mL·g. -1 ·h -1 -18000 mL·g -1 ·h -1 .
[0030] In some embodiments, the catalytic ammonia decomposition to hydrogen production reaction is carried out in a fixed bed or a fluidized bed.
[0031] In some embodiments, the perovskite-type catalyst material is pre-activated and then used to catalyze the ammonia decomposition reaction to produce hydrogen.
[0032] In practice, after impurities are removed in an inert atmosphere, the perovskite-type catalyst is placed in a reducing atmosphere and pre-activated for 6-12 h at 500-600℃, 0.1-0.5 MPa, and an ammonia concentration of 10-100 vol.%, so that a highly dispersed metal active phase is generated in situ from the perovskite-type catalyst.
[0033] In practice, perovskite-type catalysts can be packed into a fixed-bed tubular reactor, and 10 mL / min-50 mL / min of 10 vol.%-100 vol.% ammonia gas can be introduced at room temperature. The temperature can be increased to 500℃-600℃ at 5℃ / min-10℃ / min, the pressure range is 0.1 MPa-0.5 MPa, and the pre-activation time is 6 h-12 h.
[0034] Secondly, the present invention provides a method for preparing the perovskite-type catalyst material for hydrogen production by ammonia decomposition as described in the first aspect above. Figure 1 A flowchart illustrating the preparation method of the perovskite-type catalyst for hydrogen production from ammonia decomposition provided in this embodiment of the invention is shown, as follows: Figure 1 As shown, the preparation method includes: S1. Dissolve the precursor salts of La and M in deionized water and mix well to form a mixed solution. Add citric acid to the mixed solution and stir continuously to form a sol. S2. Heat the sol to evaporate the solvent, resulting in a fluffy gel; S3. The gel is crushed and ground, and then transferred to a high-temperature environment for high-temperature calcination to obtain the perovskite-type catalyst material.
[0035] In some embodiments, the precursor salt of La is selected from La-containing nitrates or M-containing acetates, specifically lanthanum nitrate or lanthanum acetate; the precursor salt of M is selected from M-containing nitrates or M-containing acetates, such as ferric nitrate, ferric acetate, cobalt nitrate, cobalt acetate, nickel nitrate, and nickel acetate.
[0036] This embodiment determines the specific amounts of the La precursor salt and the M precursor salt by using the stoichiometric ratio of the metal elements that make up LaMO3. As an example, in the mixed solution, the molar ratio of the La precursor salt to the M precursor salt is 0.7 to 1.3. The resulting mixed solution has a total metal ion concentration of 5-20 wt.%.
[0037] In some embodiments, the molar ratio of citric acid to total metal ions in the mixed solution is 1.2 to 1.5.
[0038] In some embodiments, the continuous stirring to form the sol is carried out at 60-80 °C; The temperature at which the solvent evaporates from the sol is heated is 120 ℃-150 ℃.
[0039] In some embodiments, the high-temperature calcination includes: The temperature was increased to 800-1000 ℃ at a heating rate of 5-10 ℃ / min, and held at that temperature for 2-4 h.
