The invention discloses a bimetallic AuPd
alloy porous material and a preparation method and application thereof.The preparation method comprises the steps that a
sodium tetrachloropalladate
aqueous solution, a
chloroauric acid aqueous solution,
cetylpyridinium chloride and water are mixed to be uniform, an
ascorbic acid aqueous solution is added under the stirring condition, the mixture is stirred to react till the color of liquid is changed into gray black from yellow transparent,
centrifugation is conducted, and a product is obtained; the preparation method comprises the following steps: adding an aqueous solution into a reaction kettle, stirring to obtain a colloidal product, washing the colloidal product to obtain a first precipitate, uniformly mixing the first precipitate with a
solvent to obtain a first solution, dripping the first solution onto an
electrode, soaking the
electrode into a 1H, 1H, 2H, 2H-perfluorooctyltrimethoxysilane
ethanol solution, and
drying to obtain the bimetallic AuPd
alloy porous material. The bimetallic AuPd
alloy porous material is applied to
nitrogen reduction synthesis of
ammonia, the
ammonia yield is up to 43.67 [mu] g.h <-1 >. Cm <-2 >, and the
Faraday efficiency is up to 43.83%. The bimetallic AuPd alloy porous material is synthesized through a wet reduction method, the
ammonia yield is high through the synergistic effect of Au and Pd bimetals, and the bimetallic AuPd alloy porous material can be widely applied to the field of electrocatalytic synthesis of ammonia.
