Description

Chlorine doped indium oxide electrode and preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of metal catalysts, in particular to a chlorine doped indium oxide electrode, and a preparation method and application thereof.
Background
The conversion of carbon dioxide to fuels and chemicals helps to establish a carbon neutral cycle to mitigate rapid consumption of fossil resources and increasing carbon dioxide emissions. Due to research progress in renewable energy power generation such as solar energy and wind energy, electrocatalytic carbon dioxide reduction reaction (CO 2 RR) has become one of the most attractive ways of carbon dioxide conversion, which is electroreduction to value-added fuels and chemicals, powered by renewable electricity, providing tremendous prospects for the mitigation of current energy crisis and greenhouse gas emissions. Reduction of carbon dioxide to chemical raw materials and fuels by green electricity is not only an effective way to solve the increasingly serious environmental pollution and energy crisis, but also can produce value added chemicals and fuels such as carbon monoxide (CO), formic acid/formic acid (HCOO) - HCOOH), ethylene (C 2 H 4 ) And ethanol (C) 2 H 5 OH). According to the technical and economic analysis, the current C1 products (HCOO - HCOOH and CO) are commercially more profitable than the multi-carbon products. However, achieving high C1 activity and selectivity at low overpotential is still strongly dependent on Au and Ag-based noble metal catalysts.
Metal catalysts are commonly used for electrocatalytic CO due to their high activity and stability 2 RR. Along with CO 2 RR conversion to formate, hydrogen Evolution (HER) is a critical competing reaction. The metal has great influence on the aspect of electrocatalytic carbon dioxide reduction, and the local coordination environment around the active site of the metal is used for improving CO 2 The catalytic activity of RR plays an important role. In the carbon dioxide electroreduction reaction (CO 2 RR) formate-producing various latent catalysts, pBlock metals and their compounds, such as indium (In), tin (Sn) and bismuth (Bi), have proven to be good electrocatalysts for the conversion of carbon dioxide to formic acid, not only effectively inhibiting the HER reaction, but also having the advantages of good electrical conductivity, easy alloying, easy reaction with oxygen, etc., in CO 2 RR has been widely studied. Indium (In) is the most promising selective CO production as a formate catalyst, which is of increasing interest due to its low toxicity and environmental friendliness 2 One of the RR electrocatalysts. However, in-based electrocatalysts have disadvantages of low Faradic Efficiency (FE) at negative potential, poor durability, etc., thus severely hampering their practical application. Thus, research has found that efficient innovative In-based materials are useful for increasing CO 2 RR performance is of great importance.

Higher chlorine atom doping to In 2 O 3 The catalyst has high electrocatalytic activity. Since 1:2-In 2 O 3 Catalyst and 1:1-In 2 O 3 The first potential of the catalyst was-0.8 v vs. rhe, which corresponds to the catalyst having been activated, and thus the current density tended to stabilize. And 2:1-In 2 O 3 The first potential of the catalyst is-1 v vs. rhe, thus 2:1-In 2 O 3 The catalyst has a current density rise at the front 300s under the potential of-1V vs. RHE, so that the catalyst has the activation function and then tends to be stable.

As can be seen from fig. 7, 2:1-In 2 O 3 Cdl of the catalyst was 1.46mF cm -2 ;1:2-In 2 O 3 Cdl of the catalyst was 1.24mF cm -2 ;1:1-In 2 O 3 Cdl of the catalyst was 3.16mF cm -2 . It is explained that the proper number of chlorine atoms has a great effect on increasing the active surface area, and that more chlorine atom doping has a promoting effect on increasing the active site. Thus, the chlorine atom doping has a great deal of relation to the selectivity of the formic acid product.

In summary, the present invention provides for the modification of InCl by hydrothermal-calcination 3 ·4H 2 The ratio of O and trimesic acid synthesizes three In with different morphologies 2 O 3 Nanomaterial, which can be used as a high performance catalyst for the efficient electroreduction of carbon dioxide. Modification of In by CTAB 2 O 3 Catalyst pair electrochemical CO 2 The selectivity of the reduction product is affected. CTAB modified In 2 O 3 The catalyst can inhibit HER in the electrocatalytic process, thereby improving the selectivity of HCOOH products. And a proper amount of CTAB inhibits electrons from accumulating on the surface of the catalyst, thereby preventing the corrosion of the catalyst. In an H-cell, 2:1-In 2 O 3 Has FE of more than 90 percent for formate and 23mA cm at the same time -2 The highest value of FE reaches 98% especially at-1.2 Vvs RHE, which is superior to In of other two ratios 2 O 3 A catalyst.
In addition, the invention also respectively researches the chlorine doped In with different contents 2 O 3 Catalyst pair CO 2 Effect of RR performance. 2:1-In 2 O 3 The catalyst has more chlorine atoms uniformly distributed on the surface of the catalyst, and can promote electron transfer to reactants. By comparison, found that 1:2-In 2 O 3 The catalyst has more carbon atom doping, but has lower current density and CO 2 The overpotential of RR is high, while 2:1-In 2 O 3 The catalyst has a small amount of carbon atoms doped, and chlorine atoms are distributed on the surface of the catalyst, so that the selectivity of formic acid is improved. Synergistic interaction between CTAB and chlorine atom allows CO 2 Can be better adsorbed on the surface of the catalyst and selectively converted into HCOOH.
