Description

Method for electrocatalytic nitrogen reduction catalyst
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of electro-catalysis ammonia production, and particularly relates to a method for electro-catalysis nitrogen reduction catalyst.
Background
Synthetic ammonia has been one of the most important industrial processes, and the product ammonia is not only an industrial product with wide application but also an ideal clean energy carrier. The traditional synthesis method adopts a Haber-Bosch method to promote high-purity hydrogen and nitrogen to react to generate ammonia gas through extreme harsh conditions such as high temperature and high pressure. The process has high energy consumption and discharges a large amount of greenhouse gases. Is not beneficial to the strategy of green sustainable development.
Therefore, it is particularly important to develop green sustainable alternatives. The current methods for producing ammonia include photocatalytic nitrogen reduction, electrocatalytic nitrogen reduction and azotase catalysis. Among these methods, electrocatalytic nitrogen reduction can realize high-efficiency, low-energy-consumption and zero-emission ammonia synthesis under mild conditions, and has attracted much attention in recent years.
Various electrocatalysts are currently designed, such as alloys (PdCu, angel. Chem. Int.ed.,2019doi 2 ,Adv.Energy Mater.2019,9,1803935,Fe 3 S 4 Chem, commun, 2018, 54, 13010-13013), oxide (CeO) 2 ,Chem.Commun.2019,55,2952-2955,BiVO 4 Small Methods 2018,3, 1800333), phosphide (CoP, small Methods 2018,2, 1800204), nitride (W 2 N 3 ,Adv.Mater.2019,31,1902709,Mo 2 N, ACS Energy Lett.2019,4, 1053-1054), monatomic catalyst (Fe) SA -N-C, nat. Commun.2019, 10, 341), and the like. However, the catalytic effect is mainly concentrated at high voltages, resulting in severe electrical energy losses. Therefore, how to solve the problem of high potential, achieving high ammonia yield at low potential is a great challenge of electrochemical nitrogen reduction.
The reason that high ammonia yield under low voltage is difficult to realize in nitrogen reduction is mainly reflected in that the mass transfer process is severely limited by low nitrogen solubility, the selectivity and activity are very low under low potential due to strong hydrogen evolution competitive reaction, and the energy barrier to be overcome by nitrogen hydrogenation reduction in nitrogen reduction is high and the speed is low. Therefore, it is important to design and develop a new catalyst to promote nitrogen adsorption, inhibit competitive reaction, reduce hydrogenation energy barrier and realize high ammonia yield at low voltage.
Telluride nanomaterials play an important role in inorganic functional materials and devices that are being developed vigorously. The materials have good optical, electrical and catalytic properties, and can be widely applied to the important research and production fields. However, as a catalyst with great application prospect, the contribution of nitrogen reduction to ammonia production is not researched yet.
In summary, the problems of the prior art are as follows:
(1) In the prior art, most catalysts have difficulty achieving high ammonia production at lower voltages.
(2) At present, some catalysts can produce ammonia under low voltage, but all are precious metals, so that the catalysts are expensive and have little reserve, and the catalysts have certain limitation in industrial production.
(3) Telluride nanomaterials play an important role in inorganic functional materials and devices that are being developed vigorously. The materials have good optical, electrical and catalytic properties, and can be widely applied to the important research and production fields. However, as a catalyst with great application prospect, the contribution of nitrogen reduction to ammonia production is not researched yet.
The difficulty of solving the technical problems is as follows:
(1) The Haber-Bosch process uses extreme harsh conditions such as high temperature and high pressure to promote the reaction of high purity hydrogen and nitrogen to produce ammonia. The process has high energy consumption and discharges a large amount of greenhouse gases. Is not beneficial to the strategy of green sustainable development. Therefore, it is very important to find a green, safe and efficient method to replace the traditional Haber-Bosch method.
(2) Because the solubility of nitrogen is low, the strong hydrogen evolution competition reaction and the energy barrier to be overcome by the nitrogen hydrogenation reduction in the nitrogen reduction are high, and the speed is low, the catalytic effect of the existing catalyst is mainly concentrated under high voltage, so that the design of the catalyst for increasing nitrogen adsorption, inhibiting hydrogen evolution, accelerating reduction and realizing high ammonia yield under low voltage is very important.
(3) Among a plurality of catalysts, a non-noble metal catalyst is designed to realize high ammonia yield under low voltage so as to solve the problems of low noble metal storage, high price and the like.
(4) Among a plurality of catalysts, the telluride nano material has better properties of optics, electrics, catalysis and the like, and can be widely applied to the important research and production fields. However, as a catalyst with great application prospect, the contribution of nitrogen reduction to ammonia production is not researched yet.
The significance of solving the technical problems is as follows:
(1) The electrocatalysis nitrogen reduction at normal temperature used in the invention is green, efficient and environment-friendly, and can better meet the policy of green environmental protection, energy conservation and emission reduction proposed by the state.
(2) The invention can realize high ammonia yield under low voltage, can effectively reduce the electric energy consumption, and realizes large ammonia yield by using less electric energy.
(3) Compared with a noble metal catalyst, the non-noble metal catalyst used in the invention has the advantages of low price, rich reserves and great advantages in industrial production.
(4) The telluride researched by the invention has high ammonia yield under 0V, opens the application of the telluride in nitrogen reduction ammonia production, and simultaneously provides a new idea for the design of other electrocatalytic nitrogen reduction catalysts.

Electrochemical measurements were performed on a CHI760 workstation (chenhua instruments ltd, shanghai, china). A three-electrode system was used, using two electrolytic cells connected by a salt bridge. To prepare the working electrode, a solution containing 5mg catalyst, 0.9mL ethanol and 0.1mL 5wt% Nafion was sonicated for 30 minutes or more to form a uniform ink. Then at a catalyst loading of 0.2mg cm -2 In the case of (1 cm), 40. Mu.L of the prepared ink was dropped onto carbon paper 2 ) The above.
