The invention relates to a preparation method and application of a
phosphorus-doped
lignin-derived carbon-loaded NiCu
alloy material. The preparation method comprises the following steps: preparing phosphorized
lignin by phosphorizing a plurality of pairs of
lignin, taking the phosphorized lignin as a
phosphorus source and a
carbon source, regulating pH to enable the phosphorized lignin to be coordinated and combined with Ni and Cu ions to form a
nickel /
copper-lignin-based supramolecular precursor, and then performing high-temperature carbon burning to obtain the
nickel /
copper-lignin-based supramolecular
composite material. The catalyst combines the advantages of a
biomass carbon material and transition metals Cu and Ni, is a catalyst with relatively excellent performance, can be widely applied to electrocatalytic conversion of
glycerol,
furfural, glucose and other
biomass micromolecules into high-value chemicals, and particularly has an excellent effect on conversion of
glycerol into a high-value product
dihydroxyacetone. The construction of a P-C structure on the carrier is beneficial to the local enrichment of
active oxygen groups, the generation of
metal active sites is promoted, the
oxidation rate of
glycerol is accelerated, and NiCu alloying obviously improves the selectivity of
dihydroxyacetone. The catalyst is stable in effect, rich in resources and low in price.
