Description

Method for preparing indium-based electrocatalyst by using waste liquid crystal display material, indium-based electrocatalyst and application of indium-based electrocatalyst
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of electrocatalysis and solid waste disposal, and particularly relates to a method for preparing an indium-based electrocatalyst by using a waste liquid crystal display material, the indium-based electrocatalyst and application thereof.
Background
In the past decades, liquid Crystal Display Panels (LCDPs) have been widely used in electronic products, such as PC displays, notebook computers, tablet computers, mobile phones, televisions, etc., due to their light weight, high resolution, small size, low power consumption, etc., but they have been subject to a large amount of electronic waste to be managed due to their short service lives (3-8 years) and rapid technological updates. As early as 2012 the european union committee classified LCDPs as Waste Electronic and Electrical Equipment (WEEE), which has a complex structure and contains a variety of compounds including toxic substances such as aromatic rings, cyano groups, fluorine, chlorine, and bromine. However, the presence of components of LCDPs that contain great recycling potential, such as plastics, glass, steel, rare noble metals, and circuit boards, and the like, particularly Indium Tin Oxide (ITO), an optoelectronic material that has the properties of being transparent to visible light, conductive, and reflective to heat, has led to the interest of numerous researchers. In addition, with the rapid development of the photovoltaic industry, the limited indium native resources have failed to meet the rapidly growing indium demand.
Therefore, efficient and economical recovery of indium from secondary sources, especially discarded LCDPs, is of great importance for sustainable development and ecological environmental protection.
Compared with the pyrometallurgical technology, the hydrometallurgical technology has the advantages of high flexibility, less energy consumption, low production cost and the like, and can be effectively applied to extracting and recycling indium from waste LCDPs. Hydrometallurgical recovery processes typically consist of several basic procedures by leaching with acidic or basic reagents to completely dissolve indium, then metal separation by solvent extraction, adsorption or ion exchange, followed by further purification by precipitation, cementation or electrolysis, etc. for reuse. However, the whole process from waste recovery treatment to reuse is long, the operation flow is complicated, and more toxic or corrosive chemical reagents are used, so that the environmental pollution and other problems occur in the process of wastewater treatment. In addition, only through the way of extraction separation, certain impurity components are inevitably remained, the quality of reutilization is difficult to achieve, and further purification can improve the purity of metal, but more time and effort are required. Therefore, if the process from indium separation to recycling can be integrated, the whole process is shortened, the recycling efficiency is improved, the production cost is reduced, the use of organic reagents is reduced, and the harm to the environment is reduced.
CO 2 The electrochemical reduction technology is that CO can be reduced by green power 2 Technology for conversion into valuable chemicals and fuels is hopefully an effective solution to the problem of environmental pollution due to excessive industrial carbon dioxide emissions. However, the development of the existing product is seriously hindered by the problems of low selectivity, poor stability in the electrochemical synthesis process and the like. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a high-performance, low-cost electrocatalyst to meet the current density and faraday efficiency required for industry for stable production. Indium-based catalyst has oxygen-philic property and CO-scavenging property 2 The nature of the transformation of the OCHO intermediate is of great interest.
In summary, in the face of the current situation that the worldwide reserves of metal indium are extremely deficient, how to extract indium from waste LCDPs and CO 2 The electrocatalytic technology is coupled, so that a new way for utilizing secondary resources is established, and the key direction of research is urgently needed.

TABLE 1
Analysis:
as can be seen from the above table, the present invention proposes that organic amine is used as extractant in hydrometallurgical recovery process and protective agent in electrocatalyst synthesis process, so that the indium extraction technology of waste liquid crystal display material and indium-based electrocatalyst in CO 2 The application of the electrocatalytic reduction reaction is coupled, the purposes of shortening the indium extraction flow, reducing the extraction cost and reducing the environmental pollution are achieved, and a new idea is provided for recycling waste resources. In addition, the indium-based electrocatalyst prepared by the invention has excellent catalytic activity and formate selectivity.
As is clear from examples 1 and 3 to 4, if the liquid-solid ratio of dodecylamine in the dodecylamine solution to the glass substrate containing the ITO film is too small, i.e., the amount of dodecylamine used is too small, the amount of indium extracted is small, resulting in a low current density of the catalyst; if the liquid-solid ratio of the dodecylamine solution to the glass substrate containing the ITO film is too large, that is, if the amount of dodecylamine is too large, a large amount of impurity metals such as Fe are extracted, resulting in a decrease in the faraday efficiency of the catalyst.
From examples 1 and 5-6, it is known that too small an amount of activated carbon can cause aggregation of catalyst particles, and agglomeration during the reaction process, which affects the activity and stability of the catalyst; if the amount of the activated carbon is too large, the catalyst metal component is reduced, and the activity of the catalyst is reduced.
As is clear from examples 1 and 7-8, if the temperature of the hydrothermal reaction is too low, the metal in the catalyst cannot be reduced sufficiently to affect the growth of the catalyst, resulting in a decrease in catalytic activity; if the temperature of the hydrothermal reaction is too high, the catalyst particles are seriously agglomerated and cannot be sufficiently dispersed, resulting in a decrease in catalytic activity.
From example 1 and comparative example 1, it is understood that if dodecylamine is replaced with tetraoctylammonium bromide, the phase transfer efficiency of indium is lowered, resulting in a decrease in current density during electrocatalytic carbon dioxide reduction.
The applicant states that the process of the invention is illustrated by the above examples, but the invention is not limited to, i.e. does not mean that the invention must be carried out in dependence on the above process steps. It should be apparent to those skilled in the art that any modification of the present invention, equivalent substitution of selected raw materials, addition of auxiliary components, selection of specific modes, etc. fall within the scope of the present invention and the scope of disclosure.
