摘要
固体氧化物电解池(SOEC)可利用可再生能源有效地将二氧化碳转化为一氧化碳。SOEC 的工作温度约为 800 °C,二氧化碳还原采用负偏压,这对阴极的稳定性提出了苛刻的要求。在此,我们开发了一种非超晶系铌酸盐--Ga0.8Ti0.4Nb0.8O4(GTN)--作为一种坚固的阴极,可在 800 ℃、-1.4 V 偏置下激活,进行二氧化碳分馏。使用 GTN 阴极的电解槽电流密度逐渐增大,同时 Nb5+ 部分还原为 Nb4+,生成 NbO2 和假中性相。NbO2 纳米粒子和有缺陷的假金刚石表层的耦合是在高温下电化学还原 CO2 的良好组合:由于原位生长的金属 NbO2 可以充当电子库,与金属 Ni 相似,因此离子渗入 Ni 会略微增强电解性能。CeO2 的存在可增加 CO2 的活化,并在电解质和阴极界面之间提供离子传输。这项工作展示了一种坚固的铌酸盐,它可以通过电化学转换来减少顽固的 Nb5+,从而产生一种复合功能层,实现高效的二氧化碳分离。
Activating Ga0.8Ti0.4Nb0.8O4 cathode for direct electrolysis of CO2 via electrochemical switching and infiltration of co-catalyst
Solid oxide electrolysis cell (SOEC) can efficiently convert CO2 into CO using renewable energy sources. SOECs that operate at around 800 °C and negative bias for CO2 reduction pose demanding requirements on the stability of the cathode. Here, a non-perovskite niobate, Ga0.8Ti0.4Nb0.8O4 (GTN), is developed as a robust cathode that can be activated under a −1.4 V bias at 800 °C for CO2 splitting. A gradual increase in the current density of the electrolysis cell with GTN cathode is accompanied by the partial reduction of Nb5+ to Nb4+ to produce NbO2 and a pseudorutile phase. The coupling of NbO2 nanoparticles and the defective pseudorutile surface layer serves as a good combination for the electrochemical reduction of CO2 at elevated temperatures: the electrolysis performance is slightly enhanced by ionic infiltration of Ni because the in situ grown metallic NbO2 can serve as the electron reservoir, similar to the metal Ni. The presence of CeO2 can increase the activation of CO2 and provide the ionic transport between the interface of the electrolyte and cathode. This work demonstrates a robust niobate that can be reduced by electrochemical switching to reduce the stubborn Nb5+ to produce a composite functional layer for efficient CO2 splitting.
