摘要:

二氧化碳直接加氢制备长链碳氢化合物是碳中和燃料生产的重要技术路线, 但同时实现高选择性和高催化剂稳定性仍面临巨大挑战. 本文系统地研究了碱金属(Li, Na, K)对钴-氧化锆催化剂的促进作用, 揭示碱金属种类直接决定催化剂的氧化还原稳定性与产物分布. 无碱助剂和K促进的催化剂在二氧化碳加氢过程中会发生严重的表面再氧化, 抑制C-C偶联并主导甲烷的形成; 而Na促进的催化剂保留了金属Co0相, 并在与工业相近的反应条件下实现了优异的C5+烃选择性(39.4%)和收率(22.4%). 机理研究表明, Na可特异性促进羟基和甲酰基中间体的形成, 有利于C-C键的形成, 同时避免了在Li体系中出现的碳酸盐钝化的现象. 本文首次发现了Na在稳定催化剂活性位点和选择反应路径方面的作用, 为设计稳定性好、选择性高的钴基催化剂提供了一种合理的策略, 用于将二氧化碳转化为可用作可持续运输燃料的液态烃.

Abstract:

Direct hydrogenation of CO2 to long-chain hydrocarbons represents a promising route for carbon-neutral fuel production, yet achieving high selectivity and catalyst stability remains a formidable challenge. In this study, we systematically investigate the promotional effect of alkali metals (Li, Na, K) on cobalt-zirconia catalysts, revealing that the nature of the alkali promoter governs both redox stability and product distribution. While unpromoted and K-promoted catalysts undergo extensive surface reoxidation during CO2 hydrogenation, suppressing C-C coupling and favoring methane formation, the Na-promoted catalyst preserves the metallic Co0 phase and achieves exceptional C5+ hydrocarbon selectivity (39.4%) and yield (22.4%) under industrially relevant conditions. Mechanistic investigations reveal that Na uniquely facilitates the formation of hydroxyl and formyl intermediates conducive to C-C bond formation, while avoiding carbonate passivation observed in the Li-promoted catalyst. This work highlights a previously unrecognized role of Na in simultaneously stabilizing active sites and directing reaction pathways, offering a rational strategy for designing robust, selective cobalt-based catalysts for CO2 conversion to liquid hydrocarbons that can be used as sustainable transportation fuel.
