Background
Since the first industrial revolution, fossil fuels were developed and used on a large scale to sustain rapid development of human society and economy. However, excessive consumption of fossil fuels not only poses a serious energy crisis, but also results in carbon dioxide (CO) in the earth's atmosphere2) The content increases sharply.This also leads to a number of environmental problems, such as: "greenhouse effect", ocean acidification, extreme weather, etc. Sustainable energy in nature such as solar energy, wind energy and the like can be converted into electric energy, and the electric energy drives the electrochemical electrolytic cell to convert CO into CO2And converting into other value-added high-energy chemical raw materials and fuels, such as ethanol, carbon monoxide and the like. The method can reduce the dependence of human society on fossil fuel, promote the carbon cycle of biosphere, and is a carbon dioxide recycling scheme with great prospect. However, due to the stable linear structure of carbon dioxide, the bonding energy of C ═ O is extremely high (806 kJ. mol)-1) The desire to achieve cleavage of carbon-oxygen bonds requires a high activation energy barrier, which ultimately results in a significant overpotential. At the same time, the potential at which the Hydrogen Evolution Reaction (HER) takes place is related to the CO2Reduction reaction (CO)2RR) occur very close in potential, causing a very strong competitive action. The low kinetic properties and the accompanying side reactions together hinder CO2The effective reduction of (2). Therefore, reasonably designing a high-efficiency catalyst to improve the catalytic activity and catalytic selectivity of the carbon dioxide reduction reaction is a key point for realizing carbon reduction and energy conservation. The Single-Atom catalyst (Single-Atom Catalysts) has great development prospect in the field of electrocatalytic carbon dioxide reduction. However, the metal monatomic catalyst which is successfully prepared at present is mostly loaded on bulk carbon or a two-dimensional graphene substrate which is easy to agglomerate, so that most active sites cannot contact with reactants in a catalytic process, and the catalytic activity is low.

Figure BDA0003133348760000101
As can be seen from table 1: the current density of-1.0V shows the mass transfer effect and catalytic activity of metal single atoms in the catalyst, and the current density of-1.0V of the catalyst obtained in example 1 is 75mA/cm2The fact shows that the ultrathin spatial three-dimensional open-pore carbon skeleton in the catalyst enhances the mass transfer effect of metal single atoms, so that the catalytic activity of the catalyst is increased; in examples 2 and 3, however, the low content of the monoatomic atom resulted in a current density of 34mA/cm at-1.0V2Thereby making the mass transfer enhancing effect insignificant; but the faradaic carbon monoxide efficiency of the final catalyst was 90% probably due to the high availability of active sites.
A model that a carbon framework is an ultrathin spatial three-dimensional open-pore carbon framework, a two-dimensional layered structure and a block-shaped carbon substrate structure is constructed, and the mass transfer and active site utilization rate of the three carbon frameworks in the electrocatalytic carbon dioxide reduction reaction process are simulated by using a COMSOLULTIPHIS fine-element-based solution, and the result is shown in FIGS. 7-9.
As can be seen from fig. 7: the diffusion time was changed from 0 ms to 24ms (FIGS. a-i), and it can be clearly seen that CO is present2Diffuse rapidly throughout the ultra-thin spatial open-porous carbon skeleton structure and stabilize very quickly (within 12 ms) at the carbon skeleton-electrolyte interface.
As can be seen from fig. 8: the diffusion time was changed from 0 ms to 24ms (figures a-i), the diffusion of the reactants was severely slowed down due to the obstruction of the carbon skeleton layer; even with an increased simulation duration (24 ms), the reactant can only be utilized in the region close to the outer layer of the carbon skeleton having a 2D layered structure.
As can be seen from fig. 9: diffusion time changed from 0 ms to 24ms (fig. a-i); similar to the two-dimensional layered structure, the diffusion of the reactants is severely impeded by the layer of the bulk carbon skeleton within the aggregated bulk structure; even if the simulation duration (time ═ 24ms) is increased, the reactant can be utilized only at the outermost layer of the carbon skeleton having an agglomerated bulk structure.
The foregoing is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and it should be noted that, for those skilled in the art, various modifications and decorations can be made without departing from the principle of the present invention, and these modifications and decorations should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
