摘要:

电催化硝酸盐还原反应(NO3RR)是一种生产氨和净化废水的绿色技术, 但是其反应过程会与析氢反应竞争, 并且造成亚硝酸盐中间体积累。设计和构筑具有不同催化特性的双活性位点可以提高反应活性, 进而通过串联催化策略(NO3-→NO2-→NH3)显著提升氨的生成速率与选择性。本研究以结构明确的金属有机框架(MOFs)为模板, 通过简单的水热法构筑了CuNi双金属MOFs串联催化体系。研究结果表明, Cu活性位点可高效催化NO3-还原为NO2-, Ni位点展现出优异的活性氢物种*H供应能力及NO2-转化效率, 二者形成高效的串联催化机制, 实现了高达90.1%的氨合成法拉第效率和28.8 mg·h-1·mgcat-1的氨产率。经过多次循环测试后, 双金属MOFs催化剂的合成氨性能未出现衰减, 表现出优异的循环稳定性。本研究可为高性能串联催化剂的设计与优化提供新的见解。

Abstract:

Electrocatalytic nitrate reduction reaction (NO3RR), as a green technology for producing ammonia and purifying wastewater, faces challenges in terms of nitrite intermediate accumulation and competitive hydrogen evolution reactions. Tandem catalytic strategy (NO3-→NO2-→NH3) is expected to significantly improve the rate and selectivity of ammonia production. Therefore, designing and constructing dual active sites with different catalytic properties contributes to improving reaction activity. Herein, a CuNi bimetallic metal organic framework (MOF) tandem catalytic system using well-defined MOFs as templates was constructed through simple hydrothermal synthesis. The research results indicated that Cu active sites could efficiently catalyze the reduction of NO3- to NO2-, while Ni sites exhibited excellent active hydrogen species *H supply capacity and NO2- conversion efficiency, forming an efficient tandem catalytic mechanism with Cu sites, and achieving a Faraday efficiency of up to 90.1% for ammonia synthesis and an ammonia yield of 28.8 mg·h-1·mgcat-1. In addition, the bimetallic MOFs catalyst showed excellent cycling stability without any degradation in ammonia synthesis after multiple cycling tests. This work provides new insights for the design and optimization of high-performance tandem catalysts.
