碳包钴-碳化钴纳米复合材料可控制备及其催化硼氢化物水解产氢

A highly active and stable catalyst is the key to the efficient hydrolytic dehydrogenation of borohydride. Decreasing of particles size, combining of Co and Co composites, increasing the electron density of Co in the Co composites and coating carbon are expected to achieve the excellent catalytic performances of Co-based catalysts. In this proposal, cobalt complexes with a ligand of Schiff base are used as the precursor due to the regulable structure, the poor thermal stability and the weak interaction among the metal center. Co-CoxC@C (x = 2 and 3) catalysts will be prepared by pyrolyzing and subsequent-treating. The composition, structure and size of Co-CoxC core, and structure, thickness and doping of carbon shell will be regulated and controlled by optimizing the molecular structure and element compositions of Co complexes, and the technological parameters during the preparation process. Then, the intrinsic mechanism of the effect of Co complexes and the preparation technology on the composition and microstructures of Co-CoxC@C will be elucidated by analyzing the evolution behavior of the chemical environment and the state of Co, C, N and other elements during the preparation process. Thereafter, the catalytic properties of Co-CoxC@C for hydrolytic dehydrogenation of borohydride will be tested. The adsorption sites, activation behavior and active intermediates will be studied by both in-situ spectrum and theoretical calculations, thereby confirming the active centers and the influence of electronic effect between Co and CoxC on the activity of the active centers. The structure-activity relationship at the molecular level will be clarified. Finally, the basic theory and the effective way to enhance the activity of the active centers will be proposed. The achievement of this proposal will not only provide the idea and implications for the reasonable design of the superior Co-based catalysts.
