The invention relates to the technical field of catalyst preparation, in particular to a method and a
system for preparing a catalyst for preparing
glycollic acid through efficient electrocatalytic oxidation of PET (
polyethylene terephthalate). The method comprises the following steps: ultrasonically cleaning foamed
nickel to obtain ultrasonically cleaned foamed
nickel, preparing a hydrothermal solution, performing
hydrothermal reaction on the hydrothermal solution to obtain an initial intermediate, and cleaning and
drying the initial intermediate to obtain the catalyst for preparing
glycollic acid through efficient electrocatalytic oxidation of PET. The method comprises the following steps: obtaining an intermediate, shearing an intermediate sheet, preparing an electro-deposition liquid, constructing a three-
electrode system, depositing a
working electrode to obtain deposited Pd particles, slowly flushing the deposited Pd particles to obtain clean deposited Pd particles, testing the catalyst by a linear
voltammetry scanning method to obtain the catalytic activity of the catalyst, and performing a chronoamperometric test on the catalyst to obtain the catalytic activity of the catalyst. The selectivity test is performed on the catalyst, so that the selectivity of the catalyst is excellent, and the preparation of the catalyst for preparing
glycollic acid through high-efficiency electrocatalytic oxidation of PET is completed. The use amount of
precious metal can be reduced on the premise of ensuring the catalytic performance.
