The invention belongs to the field of preparation of nano materials and
nitrogen reduction, and relates to an electrocatalytic material for converting
nitrogen gas into
ammonia gas. Pure Ti3C2Tx MXeneis prepared by using a Ti3AlC2 precursor at first and then improved through a solvothermal mode, and finally, the use method and
catalytic effect of pure Ti3C2Tx MXene are verified; it is found thatthe
ammonia production amount of a Ti3C2Tx / TiO2 nano composite can reach 32.17 micrograms h<-1>mg<-1>cat. at -0.55V, the
Faraday efficiency of the composite reaches 16.07% at -0.45V,but the
ammonia production amount of pure Ti3C2Tx MXene only reaches 22.19 micrograms h<-1>mg<-1>cat. at -0.55V, the
Faraday efficiency of the composite reaches 7.09% at -0.45V, the
ammonia production amount and
Faraday efficiency of the Ti3C2Tx / TiO2 nano composite are 11 times and 69 times those of TiO2 nano particles respectively, and the
catalytic efficiency of the Ti3C2Tx / TiO2 nano composite is higher than that of most of the current electrocatalysts; it is shown that the Ti3C2Tx / TiO2 nano composite is a very good
nitrogen reduction material, can be applied to the field of nitrogen reduction, is simple andeasy to operate, the raw materials are easy to obtain, and the preparation cost is low; the preparation efficiency is high, the quality of the prepared product is high, the stability is high, the application environment is good, and the market prospect is broad.
