Description

Selenium-defect-enriched tin diselenide nanosheet electrocatalyst and preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of electrocatalysts, in particular to a tin diselenide nanosheet electrocatalyst rich in selenium defects, and a preparation method and application thereof.
Background
Carbon dioxide (CO) using renewable energy sources 2 ) Among various reduction products, formic acid (HCOOH) is considered as one of the most technically economical products, and has been widely used in practical applications. Several major p-region metal main group catalysts have been reported to date, including Sn, in, bi, and the like, and a series of corresponding metal oxides (such as tin oxide and indium oxide) for the electroreduction of CO 2 Synthesizing HCOOH. Wherein, because of low cost of metal tin-based material, the adsorption energy of OOCH intermediate in the process of electrosynthesis of HCOOH is moderate, so that the catalyst is widely applied to the electroreduction of CO 2 Synthesizing HCOOH. However, the metallic tin-based catalysts reported to date do @ achieve high selectivity commercial current densities>200mA cm -2 ) The aspects of HCOOH electrosynthesis still face significant challenges.
Currently, HCOOH electrosynthesis is mostly carried out in alkaline or neutral electrolytes, and thus, the formation of carbonate byproducts is unavoidable, leading to CO 2 The utilization efficiency is lowered. The use of an acidic electrolyte is one of the effective methods for solving these problems. However, due to the electroreduction of CO 2 Competitive hydrogen evolution side reactions and unavoidable proton concentration changes in the process, achieving sustained effective CO in acidic electrolytes 2 Transformation still faces a significant challenge. Therefore, in industrial applications, it is highly necessary to develop ideal catalysts that work well over the full pH range. The Chinese patent document with publication number CN115584522A discloses a preparation method of a three-dimensional porous electrode and an acidic electrocatalytic CO thereof 2 The application of preparing formic acid by reduction is that a catalyst, a polymer and an organic solvent are uniformly mixed to prepare composite slurry, the slurry is uniformly coated on carbon cloth by a scraper to obtain an unformed blank, and finally a three-dimensional porous electrode is obtained by drying treatment, so that HCOOH is prepared by electric reduction under the acidic condition that the pH is less than 3.77.
The formation of OOCH intermediates is typically the rate-determining reaction step due to slow reaction kinetics during proton formation and transport. Thus, accelerating proton generation and transfer is an effective method of increasing OOCH/HCOOH generation rate. The introduction of defective structures is considered to be one of the most direct and effective methods for regulating metal electrons and surface structures, and has been studied extensively in recent years. The Chinese patent document of publication No. CN116103680A discloses an oxygen vacancy-enriched bismuth carbonate electrocatalyst and a preparation method thereof, bismuth salt is dissolved in glycol and aqueous solution, a proper amount of auxiliary conductive salt is added, and then the bismuth salt is refrigerated to obtain electrolyte, and electrochemical deposition is carried out on a working electrode by using a constant current method to obtain oxygen vacancy-enriched bismuth carbonate nanosheets, wherein the introduction of oxygen vacancies improves the conductivity of bismuth carbonate, and improves the water splitting ability of bismuth carbonate and the intrinsic activity of HCOOH synthesis.
Although CO is reduced electrically for different electrolyte environments 2 Research on the synthesis of HCOOH has been greatly advanced, but industrial current density achieved over the full pH range>200mA cm -2 ) The HCOOH electrosynthesis of (c) still faces the problem of low selectivity.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention aims to provide a preparation method of a tin diselenide nanosheet electrocatalyst rich in selenium defects, and the prepared catalyst is rich in selenium defects and shows excellent catalysis performance of HCOOH electrosynthesis.
In order to achieve the above purpose, the invention adopts the following technical scheme:
a method for preparing a tin diselenide nanosheet electrocatalyst rich in selenium defects, the method comprising the steps of: and dissolving selenium dioxide and metallic tin salt, adding hydrazine hydrate solution, stirring and mixing, and performing hydrothermal reaction to obtain the selenium-enriched tin diselenide nanosheet electrocatalyst.
The preparation principle of the tin diselenide nanosheet electrocatalyst rich in selenium defects provided by the invention is as follows: adding a reducing reagent hydrazine hydrate into the mixed solution of uniformly dispersed selenium dioxide and metallic tin salt, and adding Sn in the solution into hydrazine hydrate molecules with strong reducibility 2+ And Se (Se) 4+ Reduced to atoms with high reflectionThe Sn atoms and Se atoms that should be active combine to form a tin diselenide molecule, accompanied by the formation of selenium defects. The selenium defect is introduced to transfer more electrons from Se sites to Sn sites, so that dissociation of water molecules is effectively accelerated, proton transfer rate is improved, and CO is accelerated 2 High efficiency conversion at tin active site.
The metallic tin salt is a soluble salt, preferably the metallic tin salt is stannous chloride dihydrate.
The molar ratio of the selenium dioxide to the metallic tin salt is 1.5-2.5:1. According to the invention, the tin diselenide nano-sheets with different purity and rich selenium defects are prepared by changing the dosage of selenium dioxide. When the molar concentration of selenium dioxide is too low, the purity of the resulting tin diselenide is reduced, and the presence of heterogeneous tin is observed for the electroreduction of CO 2 The performance of synthesizing HCOOH is not obviously improved; when the molar concentration of selenium dioxide is too high, a selenous phase can appear, so that the electrosynthesis performance of HCOOH is obviously reduced.
Further, dissolving selenium dioxide and metallic tin salt in water to obtain a mixed solution, wherein the mass concentration of the selenium dioxide is 7.4-22.2 g L -1 The mass concentration of the tin salt is 15.0. 15.0g L -1 . Preferably, the mass concentration of the selenium dioxide is 14.8g L -1
Wherein, the selenium dioxide and the metallic tin salt are dissolved in a certain amount of aqueous solution, the reaction temperature is room temperature, and the stirring time is 10-20 min. Preferably, the stirring time is 20min.
Further, the mass concentration of the hydrazine hydrate is 54.8g L in the mixed solution after the hydrazine hydrate is added -1
And after the mixed solution of the selenium dioxide and the metallic tin salt is added into the hydrazine hydrate solution, the reaction temperature is normal temperature, and the stirring time is 3-8 min. Too long stirring time can affect the morphology of tin diselenide to be uneven and the formation of selenium defects, thereby affecting the performance of the electrocatalyst. Preferably, the stirring time is 3 minutes.
The hydrothermal reaction temperature is 160-200 ℃. The selenium defects with different contents are prepared by changing the hydrothermal reaction temperatureTin diselenide nanosheets of (a). When the hydrothermal reaction temperature is too low, tin diselenide nano-sheets rich in selenium defects are not easy to form; when the hydrothermal reaction temperature is too high, the nano-sheet of the tin diselenide is easy to generate crystal phase transition at high temperature, so that CO is electrically reduced 2 The performance of preparing HCOOH is reduced.
Preferably, the molar ratio of the selenium dioxide to the metallic tin salt is 1.5-2:1, and the hydrothermal reaction temperature is 180-200 ℃. By limiting the molar ratio and the reaction temperature, the purity and the content of selenium defects in the prepared tin diselenide nano-sheet are more beneficial to improving the electric reduction CO 2 Selectivity for the preparation of HCOOH.
The invention also provides the tin diselenide nanosheet electrocatalyst rich in selenium defects, which is obtained by the preparation method.
The abundant selenium defects in the catalyst exist in the tin diselenide nanosheets, and the atomic ratio of selenium to tin in the tin diselenide nanosheets electrocatalyst is 1.8-2.0:1.
The invention also provides an application of the selenium-enriched tin diselenide nanosheet electrocatalyst serving as a working electrode in formic acid electrosynthesis.
Furthermore, the tin diselenide nanosheet electrocatalyst rich in selenium defects is used as a working electrode in formic acid electrosynthesis under the condition of industrial-grade current density in a full pH range.
The tin diselenide nanosheet electrocatalyst rich in selenium defects provided by the invention has the following advantages under the industrial current density>200mA cm -2 ) High selectivity performance is achieved. Wherein the highest HCOOH selectivities in alkaline, neutral and acidic electrolytes are 94.1%, 81.7% and 78.1%, respectively, and the peak partial current densities of HCOOH are 800, 568 and 495mA cm, respectively -2 The electrocatalytic performance is far superior to that of commercial tin diselenide catalysts.
The tin diselenide nanosheet electrocatalyst rich in selenium defects provided by the invention can effectively improve the adsorption and dissociation capacities of the tin diselenide nanosheet electrocatalyst on water molecules, and accelerate the proton transfer and intermediate formation rate, so that the electrocatalyst activity of the tin diselenide nanosheet electrocatalyst is further improved, and the tin diselenide nanosheet electrocatalyst is very significant in preparing HCOOH under industrial conditions.
