Gold palladium catalyst for hydrogen desorption of dodecahydroethylcarbazole and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of catalyst preparation, and particularly relates to a gold palladium catalyst for hydrogen evolution of dodecahydroethylcarbazole and a preparation method thereof.
Background
The development of the hydrogen energy industry has been receiving more and more attention in recent years. Due to the physicochemical characteristics of hydrogen, storage and transportation become important bottlenecks restricting large-scale application, and the storage and transportation become one of the key points and difficulties in the industrial development of hydrogen energy. Compared with other hydrogen storage modes, the liquid organic hydrogen storage carrier has great engineering advantages, high hydrogen storage density, low hydrogen storage medium recycling cost, and safe and convenient storage and transportation. In particular, a dodecahydroethylcarbazole/ethylcarbazole system is an organic liquid hydrogen storage medium which is screened at the earliest time in thermodynamics and can realize reversible hydrogen storage and release at a medium-low temperature (lower than 200 ℃), but the dehydrogenation efficiency is not high, and the stored hydrogen cannot be completely released under a mild condition, so that the popularization and application of the technology are hindered.
Noble metal nanoparticles exhibit excellent activity and selectivity in a variety of catalytic reactions, particularly gold and palladium, and have also found wide application in industrial catalysis. Conventionally prepared catalysts are quite diverse in morphology, and typically, the core/shell structure exhibits superior catalytic properties relative to their respective elements or alloys due to its highly functional structure. However, the preparation of the bimetallic core/shell component is a complex process and therefore various strategies are available for the production of different kinds of catalysts. Step-wise preparation and seed-growth methods are commonly used to form regular core/shell structures. In the relatively simple one-pot preparation, the use of surfactants, dispersants, ionic liquids, and the like has been reported to virtually increase the complexity of subsequent processing with the aid of such aids.
The bottleneck of the prior art is how to prepare the catalyst with a stable core-shell structure by a simple process, so that the hydrogen release catalytic efficiency of the dodecahydro ethyl carbazole is improved, and the dehydrogenation selectivity is improved.

The invention also aims to provide the gold-palladium catalyst prepared by the preparation method of the gold-palladium catalyst for hydrogen evolution of dodecahydroethylcarbazole.
Compared with the prior art, the invention has the following beneficial technical effects:
(1) the invention has the advantages of simple preparation method, mild condition, easy operation and low cost, and is particularly suitable for large-scale production.
(2) The invention can improve the supply quantity of active sites, increase the loading capacity of the carrier to metal, improve the pore size distribution, facilitate the uniformity of gold and palladium loading and the hydrogen discharge reaction of dodecahydroethylcarbazole by carrying out targeted pretreatment on the carrier; and when preparing the carrier dispersion liquid, different from a dispersion system using water or oil in a conventional method, distilled water and one of ethylene glycol, propylene glycol or glycerol are mixed according to a certain proportion to prepare a solution, and the particle size distribution of the catalyst is improved by adjusting the polarity of the dispersion liquid.

The gold-palladium catalyst is prepared by a method of adding the precursor and the corresponding reducing agent step by a one-pot method, and the metal precursor is fixed and dispersed by fully utilizing various modified functional groups on the carrier, so that the use of other auxiliary additives is avoided; in the step-by-step reduction, the difference of reduction potentials of gold and palladium is utilized, so that the precursor of palladium can be directionally reduced to form a nuclear shell layer structure on the surface of gold. Therefore, the obtained catalyst has a regular core-shell structure, the particle size of the catalyst is smaller than that of a common core-shell structure catalyst, and the catalyst is uniformly distributed, so that the defects that the traditional preparation method has more steps, and the gold-palladium core-shell structure is difficult to form or irregular to form, large in particle size and non-uniform in distribution under the condition that a dispersing agent, a surfactant and other functional additives are not added are overcome.
