Description

Nitrogen-doped carbon nanotube-loaded molybdenum carbide catalyst and preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of electrocatalytic carbon dioxide reduction electrodes, and particularly relates to a preparation method of a nitrogen-doped carbon nanotube-loaded transition metal carbide catalyst and application of the nitrogen-doped carbon nanotube-loaded transition metal carbide catalyst in promoting generation of oxygen-containing products.
Background
In recent years, CO has been used excessively in non-renewable energy sources such as petroleum and coal 2 The emission of (2) is increasing year by year, and the greenhouse effect caused by the emission is also becoming more serious (1). Statistics on CO in the atmosphere since 2000 2 The concentration rises at a rate of 2-3ppm, CO, each year 2 Too much accumulation of (b) also becomes a major cause of current climate change. High selectivity CO driven by renewable electricity 2 Reduction reaction (CO) 2 RR) is a promising technology (2,3). Among the numerous reduction products, methanol is a starting material for the production of industrially important chemicals such as formaldehyde, acetic acid and olefins, in addition to being directly used as a fuel, and is receiving much attention. Thermodynamically, CO is electrochemically converted 2 Reduction to methanol is feasible, but methanol is a kinetically slow reaction as a reduction product of six electron transfer. And due to CO 2 Competitive adsorption between RR reaction intermediates (e.g. OCOH, COOH, CO, etc.) and HER competition reactions, which makes further development of methanol catalysts with high activity and selectivity still a great challenge (4).
In order to improve the selectivity of methanol, various effective and inspiring strategies have been demonstrated, such as catalysts with specific crystal planes or interface sites, molecular catalysts, heteroelement-doped catalysts, and the like. For example, gong et al designed and constructed Cu/Cu with controlled length 2 The O interface sites cooperatively regulate the adsorption strength of H and CO intermediates on the surface of the electrode, and the maximum faradaic efficiency of 53.6 percent methanol is realized (5). Liang et al highly disperse cobalt phthalocyanine molecules on carbon nanotubes with a non-covalent anchoring strategy for electrocatalysis of CO 2 Reduction for preparing methanolThe faradaic efficiency of the methanol produced is higher than 40% (6). Hang et al prepared Ag, S double doped Cu 2 The electro-catalytic material of O/Cu shows that the double doping of Ag and S can promote the formation of CHO intermediate, further promote the selective generation of methanol and realize the faradaic efficiency (7) of the methanol of 67.4 percent.
It can be easily found that although some progress has been made in the corresponding research, the faradaic efficiency of methanol is often still lower than 70%. Notably, CH 3 The selective generation of oxygen-containing compounds such as OH depends particularly on the adsorption energy and configuration of the intermediate; this is because the generation of its corresponding Rate Determining Step (RDS) usually requires the participation of protons (8). If the intermediate is adsorbed on the metal surface with a carbon atom, its oxygen atom will be located away from the surface, making the proton more prone to attack this oxygen atom and thus leading to the loss of the oxygen atom, and the selectivity of the oxygen-containing product is reduced (9).

While on the surface of Mo/N-CNT, an absorption peak of CO stretching vibration and a peak caused by O-C-O asymmetric stretching of COOH can be clearly observed, indicating that the main reaction pathway of the surface of Mo/N-CNT involves carbon bonds and (— CO) intermediates. The above results confirm that beta-Mo 2 C promotes the formation and adsorption of oxygen-bonded intermediates, thereby avoiding the loss of oxygen atoms and improving the selectivity of oxygen-containing products. The selectivity of the methanol can reach 80.4 percent at most.
