摘要:

太阳能驱动的二氧化碳(CO2)甲烷化反应不仅有助于减少多余的碳排放,而且是生产燃料的重要途径。层状金属双氢氧化物(layered double hydroxides,LDH)可以在高温还原气(H2/Ar)氛围中还原,转化为金属负载于氧化物(MO)的催化剂。这些催化剂在CO2加氢反应中作为优秀的光热催化剂被广泛应用。然而,有关LDH的层间阴离子类型如何影响CO2甲烷化活性的研究还相对有限。本文研究了包含不同层间阴离子的镍(Ni)铝(Al) LDH前驱体,通过在H2/Ar气氛中还原处理,制备了一系列Ni负载在氧化铝(Al2O3)上的MO催化剂,这些催化剂被命名为NiAl-x-MO (其中x代表CO3、NO3、Cl和SO4,分别代表碳酸根、硝酸根、氯离子和硫酸根等阴离子)。其中,NiAl-CO3-MO催化剂表现出50.1%的CO2转化率,99.9%的甲烷(CH4)选择性以及94.4 mmol∙g−1∙h−1的CH4产出速率。与之相比,NiAl-Cl-MO和NiAl-SO4-MO催化剂的CO2甲烷化活性极低。H2程序升温脱附(temperature programmed desorption with H2,H2-TPD)实验和密度泛函理论计算(density functional theory,DFT)结果表明,低CO2转化率是由于残留的氯(Cl)或硫(S)与金属Ni形成的强配位键阻碍了H2的吸附和活化。因此,在设计LDH衍生的催化剂,特别是用于氢化反应的Ni基催化剂时,应优先考虑层间阴离子在LDH中的重要作用。

Abstract:

The concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere is progressively increasing due to industrial development, leading to environmental concerns such as the greenhouse effect. Consequently, it is crucial to decrease dependence on the fossil fuels and mitigate the CO2 emissions. Photothermocatalysis technology facilitates the conversion of light energy into heat energy on the surface of catalysts, thereby driving chemical reactions. This catalytic approach effectively harnesses ample solar energy, consequently reducing non-renewable energy consumption. Solar-driven CO2 methanation is an important route to simultaneously mitigate excessive carbon emissions and produce fuels. Layered double hydroxides (LDH) can be reduced at high temperature in a reductive atmosphere of a hydrogen/argon (H2/Ar) mixture to prepare metal-loaded oxide (MO) catalysts, which are widely used in CO2 hydrogenation reactions as excellent photothermal catalysts. However, there is limited study on how the interlayer anion type of LDH affects the activity of CO2 methanation. Herein, a series of LDH precursors, intercalated with various anions, were synthesized using a co-precipitation method. The LDH precursors were reduced in a H2/Ar atmosphere to acquire a group of nickel (Ni) loaded on alumina (Al2O3) catalysts, referred to as NiAl-x-MO (x = CO3, NO3, Cl, and SO4, which represents carbonate, nitrate, chloride, and sulfate anions, respectively). Energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS) elemental mapping and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) results revealed the presence of nitrogen (N), chlorine (Cl), and sulfur (S) species on the surfaces of NiAl-NO3-MO, NiAl-Cl-MO, and NiAl-SO4-MO catalysts, respectively. Photothermocatalytic tests were conducted on the catalysts to assess the potential influence of the residual species on CO2 methanation. Among them, the NiAl-CO3-MO catalyst demonstrated a CO2 conversion of 50.1%, methane (CH4) selectivity of 99.9%, along with a CH4 production rate of 94.4 mmol∙g−1∙h−1. The performance of the NiAl-NO3-MO catalyst was found to be comparable to that of the NiAl-CO3-MO catalyst. In contrast, the CO2 methanation activity of the NiAl-Cl-MO and NiAl-SO4-MO catalysts were negligible. CO2 temperature programmed desorption (CO2-TPD) analysis demonstrated that the presence of N, Cl, and S species had a negligible effect on the adsorption of CO2. H2 temperature programmed desorption (H2-TPD) and density functional theory (DFT) results suggested that the strong coordination bond between residual Cl or S species and metallic Ni impeded the absorption and activation of H2, which was responsible for the low CO2 conversion. Hence, the significant role of the interlayer anion in LDH should be preferentially considered when designing LDH-derived catalysts, especially the Ni-based catalysts for hydrogenation reactions.
