摘要:

氨是生产化肥的关键原料, 也是潜在的氢能源载体. 工业上主要采用Haber-Bosch工艺生产氨, 该工艺使用传统的铁(Fe)基催化剂, 需要苛刻的反应条件(400-500 °C和10-30 MPa). 与Fe基催化剂相比, 钌(Ru)基催化剂虽然在温和条件下表现出更优异的催化活性, 但在工业应用中存在Ru价格昂贵等成本问题. 非贵金属钴(Co)基催化剂在合成氨催化性能中表现出色. 然而, 除了活性金属的选择, 载体的类型对于催化剂合成氨性能也具有重要影响. 目前, 各种传统载体材料的研究在合成氨中都呈现出反应惰性, 对于具有高反应性的载体研究较少. 因此, 通过高反应性载体和活性金属Co相结合以研发高效的合成氨催化剂并探究其反应机制是本文的主要研究思路.
本文通过浸渍法合成了一系列具有高反应性碱金属高铼酸盐(AMReO4, AM = K, Na或Cs)载体负载的Co基催化剂. AMReO4载体包含了活性金属Re和助剂, 在合成氨反应中呈现出一定的催化活性. 其中, 在400 °C和1 MPa下, KReO4呈现出最高的合成氨速率为3.58 mmolNH3 gcat−1 h−1. 当以KReO4为载体负载不同含量的Co后, 催化剂的合成氨速率显著增加. 在相同反应条件下, Co含量为15 wt%的15Co/KReO4催化剂的合成氨速率达到11.48 mmolNH3 gcat−1 h−1, 是KReO4载体的3.2倍, 且15Co/KReO4催化剂在持续反应100 h后没有明显的活性下降趋势, 表现出较好的热稳定性. 通过X-射线衍射, 透射电子显微镜和原位拉曼光谱测试结果表明, 在合成氨反应条件下KReO4载体中Re与Co金属存在强相互作用, 并观察到少量CoRe纳米颗粒以合金形式存在. 氮气或氢气程序升温脱附实验结果表明, 高反应性KReO4对N2具有很强的亲和力, 并对于H2的活化起主要作用. X-射线吸收光谱和准原位X-射线光电子能谱结果表明, Re与Co存在强电子相互作用, Co的引入有利于向Re金属捐赠电子. 此外, Co的存在也为N2的吸附和活化提供了活性位点, 能够与Re协同促进N2的活化. 氢气程序升温还原实验和WO3变色实验结果表明Co物种的引入促进了H溢流效应, 使*H物种从Re位点迁移到Co位点或载体上, 然后通过级联催化氢和解离氮物种相结合进行高效合成氨. 这些研究表明, 通过的高反应性AMReO4载体和活性金属Co的协同作用, 有效调节N2和H2在催化剂上竞争性吸附活化机制到非竞争性机制来实现温和条件下氨的高效合成.
综上, 本工作强调了采用集活性金属和助剂于一体的高反应性载体与非贵金属Co位点的协同作用, 以增强在温和条件下合成氨性能的重要性, 为设计和开发温和条件下新型高效的合成氨催化剂提供了新思路.

Abstract:

The development of highly efficient and stable non-precious metal catalysts under mild conditions is highly desirable for NH3 synthesis. However, the competitive adsorption of N2 and H2 on the single site and strong NH3 adsorption greatly hinder the catalytic efficiency of catalysts under mild conditions. Herein, we propose the use of responsive alkali metal perrhenates (AMReO4, AM = K, Na, or Cs) supports with scheelite-type structure that contains active Re metal and promoters to disperse cobalt (Co) species, constructing highly efficient catalysts by regulating the competitive reactant adsorption-activation pattern to a non-competitive mechanism. Our studies demonstrate that Co/KReO4 catalyst shows excellent catalytic performance for NH3 synthesis. Co and Re sites synergistically to promote the activation of N2 molecules, while the adsorption and activation of H2 primarily occur on Re sites of KReO4. The presence of Co species facilitates H-spillover that enables the migration of *H species from Re to Co sites, then cascade catalysis of hydrogen and dissociated nitrogen species to form NH3. Accordingly, the NH3 synthesis rate of Co/KReO4 (11.48 mmolNH3 gcat-1 h-1) is 3.2-fold higher than that of KReO4 (3.58 mmolNH3 gcat-1 h-1) at 400 °C and 1 MPa. This work emphasizes the significance of employing reactive supports containing promoters and active metals, in collaboration with non-precious Co sites, to enhance NH3 synthesis performance under mild conditions.
