This invention discloses a
barium titanate composite cuprous
oxide catalyst, its preparation method, and its application, belonging to the field of catalyst preparation technology. The preparation method of the
barium titanate composite cuprous
oxide catalyst includes: mixing BaTiO3 and Cu2O cubes at a
mass ratio of 1:(0.1~0.4), adding them to an
ethanol-water solution for composite formation, followed by
filtration, washing, and
vacuum drying. The composite catalyst is a heterostructure formed by BaTiO3 nanoparticles attached to the surface of Cu2O cubes. During the electrocatalytic reaction, simultaneous application of
ultrasound results in a synergistic effect between the
piezoelectric potential generated by BaTiO3 and the catalytic activity of Cu2O, which can efficiently promote
nitrate adsorption activation and
ammonia generation. Compared with existing technologies, this invention is the first to apply the piezoelectric-electrocatalytic
synergistic mechanism to the field of electrocatalytic reduction of
nitrogen-containing compounds, achieving an
ammonia yield as high as 3370.38 μg·h⁻¹. ‑1 ·mg ‑1 With its excellent performance of 70.54%
Faraday efficiency and simple, controllable, and low-cost preparation process, it provides a new
route for the green synthesis of
ammonia and has important industrial application prospects.
