And then freeze-drying for 24h at the temperature of minus 20 ℃ to obtain the carbon nitride heterojunction catalyst. The catalyst was then dissolved in a mixture of 5% Nafion solution and 95% aqueous ethanol at a volume ratio of 1: 10. The carbon felt is used in advance with 1mol L-1Soaking in hydrochloric acid for 6h, cleaning to neutral, oven drying, and adding 1mol L-1Soaking the carbon felt in sodium hydroxide for 6h, cleaning the carbon felt to be neutral and drying the carbon felt, adding the pretreated carbon felt into a catalyst solution, stirring the solution for 8h, taking the solution out, and finally, the catalyst is loaded on an electrode as can be seen from an electron microscope image in figure 2, wherein the content of the catalyst is 15mg cm-2。
The copper oxide-carbon nitride-graphene photocatalyst electrode prepared in the embodiment is used as a cathode, and the copper oxide electrode, the carbon nitride electrode and the graphene electrode with the same loading and preparation processes are used as a cathode contrast. The cathode chamber was inoculated with an electro-autotrophic microorganism (see (J Chem Technol Biotechnol 2018; 93: 457-466)) and a potential of-1.05V vs Ag/AgCl was applied between the cathode and the anode with a light source intensity of 30mW m-2The reaction is carried out for 30 days under the condition of introducing 100 percent of carbon dioxide, and the final acetic acid concentration reaches 5.4g L-1. The final concentration is the highest copper oxide-carbon nitride-graphene photocatalyst electrode, and the concentration of acetic acid can reach 5.6g L-1And secondly a graphene electrode (4.6g L)-1) And copper oxide (4.5g L)-1) Electrode, carbon nitride electrode 4.0g L-1The blank carbon felt is the lowest (2.8g L)-1). Under the same condition, the concentration of acetic acid of the copper oxide-carbon nitride-graphene photocatalyst without illumination is 3.3g L at most-1. This shows that the copper oxide-carbon nitride-graphene photocatalyst can effectively provide additional electrons and driving force through photocatalysis to improve the performance of microbial electrosynthesis.
Fig. 3 is a photoluminescence spectrum (PL) test of various photocatalytic electrodes prepared in this example, and the peak intensity of the copper oxide-carbon nitride-graphene photocatalyst electrode is the lowest compared with the other two photocatalysts, which shows that the recombination rate of photogenerated hole-electron pair is slow, so that the electron and the hole can be more easily separated and used in a microbial electrosynthesis system.
Fig. 4 is a linear scan of various electrodes prepared in this example, where the greater the current response of the electrode, the higher the electrocatalytic activity, over the linear scan range. As can be seen from fig. 4, the current response of the blank carbon felt is minimum, the carbon nitride, copper oxide and graphene electrodes are all better than the blank carbon felt, and the catalytic activity of the copper oxide-carbon nitride-graphene photocatalyst electrode is the highest and higher than that of the copper oxide-carbon nitride-graphene photocatalyst electrode alone, which indicates that the co-doping of the copper oxide-carbon nitride-graphene can better improve the photoelectrocatalysis, so as to improve the yield of the microbial electrosynthesis system for reducing carbon dioxide to synthesize acetic acid.
