Description

Method for preparing hydrogen and hydrogen peroxide by photocatalytic water decomposition
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of photocatalysis, in particular to a method for preparing hydrogen and hydrogen peroxide by photocatalytic water decomposition.
Background
The method for preparing hydrogen by photocatalytic water decomposition by using solar energy is an effective way for solving the problems of energy shortage and environmental pollution at present. The water decomposition process involves both reduction and oxidation processes of water. The oxidation process of water is the key to limiting its decomposition rate. In order to increase the reaction rate, most of the existing photocatalytic water splitting systems introduce a sacrificial agent to participate in the oxidation reaction, but the sacrificial agent is only used for the oxidation reaction, and is not a true water oxidation reaction. The main direction of research at present is to realize the preparation of hydrogen and oxygen by fully decomposing water. However, the oxygen generated has the following disadvantages: (1) the reverse reaction is easy to occur with hydrogen, and the reaction rate is reduced; (2) the generated hydrogen and oxygen are both gases, so that the cost of later separation is increased; (3) the generated oxygen relates to a four-electron transfer process, the reaction difficulty is high, and the reaction efficiency is low; in addition, hydrogen peroxide is an important chemical raw material and is widely applied to the textile, pharmaceutical and paper-making industries. At present, the oxidation method of anthraquinone is mainly used for industrially producing hydrogen peroxide, and the method has high cost, generates a large amount of industrial wastewater and causes environmental pollution.
CN102381684A discloses a method for preparing hydrogen by decomposing water using sunlight photocatalysis, wherein the method uses oxalic acid as a sacrificial agent; according to the scheme, oxalic acid is added as a sacrificial agent in the preparation process, the prepared product comprises hydrogen and carbon dioxide, a large amount of acetic acid is consumed in the preparation process, and the preparation cost is high.
CN101629300A discloses a method for directly separating and producing hydrogen by decomposing water by adopting the photocatalytic fuel cell technology of the hydrogen fuel cell reverse principle; the proposal adopts the reverse principle of a hydrogen fuel cell, a photo-anode takes a photocatalyst as a raw material, and a cathode is a platinum or nickel or carbon electrode; proton or hydroxyl ion is transferred between the two electrodes by adopting an ionic membrane, and the photoanode and the cathode are connected by a lead to form a circuit; the sunlight or the simulated sunlight is used as a light source, and the light directly irradiates the photo-anode; hydrogen is generated at the cathode, and oxidation reaction is generated at the anode, so that the aim of separating and producing hydrogen by photolysis water is fulfilled; the products of the photocatalytic water decomposition of the scheme are hydrogen and oxygen, and although the scheme can realize the separation of the hydrogen and the oxygen, the problems of complicated separation equipment and high cost still exist.
CN102730634A discloses a method for preparing hydrogen by sunlight catalytic decomposition of water, which uses polyaniline as a catalyst, and irradiates water mixed in polyaniline with sunlight, so that the water is decomposed into hydrogen and oxygen under the combined action of the sunlight and polyaniline.
The above documents disclose some methods for preparing hydrogen and oxygen by photocatalytic water splitting, but still have the problem that the prepared hydrogen and oxygen are difficult to separate, while hydrogen peroxide is an important industrial raw material, so that the development of a method for preparing hydrogen and hydrogen peroxide by photocatalytic water splitting is still of great significance.

Figure GDA0003315385740000121
Figure GDA0003315385740000131
As can be seen from the above table, in the process of simultaneously preparing hydrogen and hydrogen peroxide by the method, the highest output efficiency of the hydrogen can reach 8.5 mu mol/mg/h, and the highest output efficiency of the hydrogen peroxide can reach 7.0 mu mol/mg/h; has practical production significance.
It can be seen from comparative examples 1 to 3 that the semiconductor titanium dioxide of the photocatalyst is the most efficient in catalytically decomposing water when brookite is selected, and it can be seen from comparative examples 1, 4 and 5 that the co-catalyst of the photocatalyst is the most efficient in catalytically decomposing water when platinum nanoparticles are selected; it can be seen from comparative examples 1 and 6 that the activity of the catalyst prepared by the photo-reduction method is the highest in the process of preparing hydrogen peroxide and hydrogen by decomposing water by photocatalysis, and it can be seen from comparative examples 1 and 7 to 10 that the optimum platinum nanoparticles loading amount is 0.1 to 5%, and when the loading amount is less than 0.1% or more than 5%, the photocatalytic effect is reduced. It can be seen from comparative examples 11-12 that the yields of hydrogen and hydrogen peroxide in the process of the present invention are both high in the range where the solid-to-liquid ratio of photocatalyst to water is (0.01-100) mg/mL. As can be seen by comparing example 1 with comparative example 1, when the photocatalyst is pure brookite, the yield efficiency of the hydrogen obtained by the method is 0.4 mu mol/mg/h, the yield efficiency of the hydrogen peroxide is 0.35 mu mol/mg/h, and the effect is obviously inferior to that of the photocatalyst loaded with platinum nanoparticles.
The applicant declares that the above description is only a specific embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of the present invention is not limited thereto, and it should be understood by those skilled in the art that any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope of the present invention are within the scope and disclosure of the present invention.
