Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of biomass electrocatalytic conversion catalyst technology, specifically relating to a method for rapidly preparing oxygen-vacancy-rich CuAg bimetallic catalysts by induction thermal shock, and an application method of the catalyst for electrocatalytic reduction of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) and 5-chloromethylfurfural (CMF) to prepare 2,5-furandiethanol (BHMF). Background Technology
[0002] 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), an important biomass platform molecule derived from lignocellulose, has significant application potential in high-value chemical processing and renewable polymer fields when catalytically reduced to 2,5-furandiethanol (BHMF). 5-Chloromethylfurfural (CMF) is also an important biomass platform molecule that can be converted into high-value chemicals through electrocatalytic reduction. Electrocatalytic hydrogenation (ECH) using water as a hydrogen source offers advantages such as low energy consumption and mild reaction conditions, providing an environmentally friendly green solution for the high-value utilization of biomass.
[0003] However, while neutral electrolytes such as phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) can prevent the self-polymerization of high-concentration HMF, the extreme scarcity of free protons in neutral media leads to sluggish water dissociation kinetics, severely limiting the efficiency of electrocatalytic hydrogenation reactions. Copper-based catalysts are widely used due to their specific adsorption and activation capabilities for water and carbonyl-containing compounds, but in neutral electrolytes, the water dissociation activation barrier on the surface of pure Cu catalysts is high, making it difficult to supply active hydrogen species; furthermore, under relatively negative overpotentials, a violent competitive hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) is triggered, reducing the Faraday efficiency and yield of the target reduction product.
[0004] Silver (Ag), as a metal that can promote the dissociation of interfacial water and accelerate the generation of active hydrogen, is an effective method for enhancing the electrocatalytic reduction activity of HMF when introduced into a copper substrate. However, when Ag is introduced into a Cu substrate through conventional physical or chemical deposition, it is often limited by poor interfacial contact and electron transfer barriers, resulting in the inefficient participation of the active hydrogen generated at the interface in the hydrogenation reaction of the substrate. In the traditional slow heating process of a tube furnace to prepare CuAg catalysts, Cu is easily deeply oxidized to form inactive CuO, and low-valence Cu... + The low proportion of the (Cu2O) active phase limits its catalytic performance. Currently, there is a lack of CuAg bimetallic catalytic systems that can simultaneously adapt to high concentrations of HMF and chlorine-containing CMF substrates, and possess high activity, high selectivity, and long-term cycling stability. Summary of the Invention
[0005] Addressing the challenges of uncontrollable interface structure, poor hydrogenation kinetics in neutral media, deactivation at high substrate concentrations, and Cl... -To address the shortcomings of poor corrosion resistance, time-consuming preparation, and easy formation of inert CuO, this invention provides a method for rapid induction thermal preparation of CuAg-IH bimetallic catalysts. This method constructs an Ag-Cu2O dual-site heterostructure rich in non-equilibrium oxygen vacancies through millisecond-level thermal shock. Simultaneously, it provides a complete process for the electrocatalytic reduction of HMF and CMF to prepare BHMF using this catalyst, solving the industry pain points of slow water dissociation in neutral systems, low substrate concentration tolerance, and chlorine corrosion deactivation.

[0016] In one embodiment, the present invention provides the application of the CuAg-IH bimetallic catalyst in the electrocatalytic reduction of 5-chloromethylfurfural (CMF) to prepare high-value chemicals, comprising the following steps: a.

[0017] Compared with existing technologies, this invention has the following outstanding technical advantages:
[0018] (1) The present invention has high preparation efficiency: through a rapid induction heating strategy, the catalyst can be prepared within minutes. Compared with the disadvantage of the traditional tube furnace and other long-term slow heating process, which easily leads to deep oxidation of the copper substrate and the formation of catalytically inert CuO, thermal shock can not only greatly suppress Cu 2+ Excessive generation, precisely stabilizing the active center in a low-valence Cu with extremely high activity. + The (Cu2O) phase can also utilize thermal shock to melt and reconstruct the originally sharp Ag nanodendritic crystals at the microscale.

[0030] The copper foam was cut into 1cm×1cm samples and ultrasonically cleaned in 1mol / L hydrochloric acid solution for 15min to remove the original oxide layer on the surface. Then, it was ultrasonically cleaned with deionized water and anhydrous ethanol for 10min each. After cleaning, it was dried in an oven to obtain the pretreated copper foam.

[0032] Measure 10 mL of 100 mmol / L silver nitrate aqueous solution and place it into the dried copper foam sample. Let it stand at room temperature for 30 min to carry out the displacement reaction. Relying on the potential difference between copper and silver ions, Ag nanodendritic crystals are grown in situ on the surface of the copper foam skeleton to obtain the CuAg precursor.
[0033] 3. Rapid induction thermal shock treatment (S3)
[0034] The CuAg precursor was placed in the center of a 3-layer induction coil with an inner diameter of 4 cm, and heated for 30 seconds by an induced current of 350 A. The instantaneous thermal shock caused the sharp Ag nanodendritic crystals to melt and reconstruct into a highly interconnected rough defect structure, while oxygen atoms were stripped from the Cu2O lattice to generate a large number of non-equilibrium oxygen vacancies. After natural cooling to room temperature, the CuAg-IH bimetallic catalyst was obtained.
[0035] Example 2: Characterization of catalyst phase, microstructure and electronic structure
[0036] The CuAg-IH catalyst prepared in Example 1 was characterized by XRD, SEM, HRTEM, EDS elemental mapping, and XPS. The test results correspond to the attached figures. Figure 1 (e) Appendix Figure 1 (f)-1(i), Appendix Figure 2 (a)-2(d).
[0037] 1. XRD phase characterization (with appendix) Figure 1 e)
[0038] Four samples were tested simultaneously: pure Cu, untreated CuAg, conventionally heat-treated CuAg-H, and the CuAg-IH sample of this invention. The CuAg-IH spectrum simultaneously showed characteristic diffraction peaks of metallic Cu, elemental Ag, and Cu₂O. The Cu₂O diffraction peak intensity was significantly higher than that of the control sample, and there was no obvious inert CuO diffraction signal, proving that the induced thermal shock stably retains the highly catalytically active Cu. + phase of matter.

[0044] Example 3: Preparation of BHMF from high-concentration HMF by CuAg-IH electrocatalytic reduction
[0045] (1) The CuAg-IH catalyst prepared in Example 1 was assembled into a standard H-type cell as the working electrode. The reaction system was tested using a three-electrode configuration, in which a pure platinum sheet was used as the counter electrode and a silver chloride electrode was used as the reference electrode.
[0046] (2) The electrolyte used was 0.5M phosphate buffer solution (PBS) with a pH of 6.7. 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) substrate was added to the cathode reaction tank in one step.
[0047] (3) As attached Figure 3 As shown in Figure a, the linear sweep voltammetry (LSV) polarization curves confirm that, after further rapid induction heat treatment, CuAg-IH exhibits the largest intercept increase and a significantly enhanced corresponding current density upon the addition of 50 mM HMF. (See attached figure.) Figure 3 Kinetic fitting showed that CuAg-IH had the lowest Tafel slope (212.98 mV dec⁻¹) compared to pure Cu (322.3 mV dec⁻¹) and conventional CuAg (267.29 mV dec⁻¹), significantly promoting the reaction kinetics of hydrogenation reduction. (See attached image) Figure 3 The double-layer capacitance fitting results show that the double-layer capacitance of CuAg-IH (16.19 mF) is nearly three times higher than that of conventional CuAg (5.72 mF), indicating that the induced thermal shock can very effectively expose the electrochemically active area of the catalyst surface.
[0048] (4) As attached Figure 3As shown in the normalized in-situ synchrotron radiation absorption spectrum (XANES) of d, when a negative reaction potential is applied to the system, the Cu K-edge undergoes a significant and anomalous negative shift (moving to the left of the copper foil baseline). This indicates that under external bias, the adjacent highly active Ag sites rapidly promote the rapid injection and saturation enrichment of excess active hydrogen generated by water dissociation (Volmer step) onto the Cu site surface, forming a highly active electron-rich intermediate species (Cu). x- When the cathode bias is removed and the open circuit potential (OCP) is restored, the absorption edge quickly and reversibly returns to its initial position, fully demonstrating its excellent non-destructive dynamic elasticity and phase stability.
[0049] (5) Constant potential electrolysis test results show (e.g.) Figure 3 As shown in e): Operating within a potential range of -0.25V to -0.30V, the conversion of HMF, the yield of the target product 2,5-furandiethanol (BHMF), and the Faradaic efficiency were all close to 100%. Even under high substrate concentration tolerance assessments (such as... Figure 3 As shown in i), the BHMF yield remains at a high level. Figure 3 As shown in f, after 20 consecutive high-intensity repeated cycles, the Faraday efficiency and yield of BHMF did not show a significant decline and remained stable at over 95%.
[0050] Example 4: Electrocatalytic reduction of CMF to prepare BHMF using CuAg-IH coupled CMF pretreatment process
[0051] (1) Accurately weigh 0.0136 g of pure solid 5-chloromethylfurfural (CMF) sample and quickly put it into a glass beaker containing 10 mL of freshly boiled high-purity deionized water. Then, immediately transfer the entire mixture to a constant temperature oil bath device that has been preheated and controlled at 110°C, and heat it continuously for 45 s. Then, quickly remove the entire beaker from the 110°C oil bath and instantly immerse it completely in a prepared ice-water bath for cooling.
[0052] (2) After the pretreatment solution system in the beaker has completely cooled, add the phosphate buffer salt solids required for preparing the standard 0.5M PBS electrolyte to the 10mL pretreatment solution according to the calculated stoichiometric ratio. After thorough stirring and dissolution, the 0.5M PBS precursor substrate dispersion is obtained.
[0053] (3) The freshly prepared pretreated dispersion was injected entirely into the cathode reaction chamber of the H-type electrolytic cell, using the CuAg-IH prepared in Example 1 as the working cathode. The electrolysis temperature was controlled at room temperature. Figure 3As shown in the LSV curve of g CMF, a significant difference in current response occurred after the introduction of a pretreated 10 mM CMF substrate PBS precursor electrolyte. Figure 3 As shown in h, excellent Faraday efficiency and BHMF yield can be obtained from -0.15V to -0.35V (vs. RHE). At -0.3V (vs. RHE), the BHMF yield can reach 86.76%, and the Faraday efficiency is 70.78%. Furthermore, as... Figure 3 As shown in the cyclic electrocatalytic stability curve in i, the Faraday efficiency and yield of the system did not show any significant decline in more than 10 repeated long-cycle reaction tests, demonstrating the excellent resistance of the catalyst to poisoning and corrosion.
