摘要
生物质热解油(生物油)中含有丰富的乙酸(AA),但乙酸的存在会阻碍生物油的使用和储存。在这项研究中,我们开发了一种高度稳定的原位生长二氧化钌(RuO2)/二氧化钛(TiO2)催化剂,用于高电流密度的Kolbe电解(KBE),以82%(±5%)的选择性将AA转化为乙烷(C2H6)。RuO2/TiO2催化剂在100 mA cm−2条件下持续KBE至少150小时,将3300 mmol AA转化为32.6 L C2H6,法拉第效率为74.1%。即使存在与模拟生物油相关的氧合酚类和羰基化合物,以及玉米芯热解产生的真实生物油,C2H6的选择性仍然很高(C2H6的选择性为88%)。利用原位拉曼光谱分析了电极界面上的催化事件,并确定了KBE反应中对AA的独特选择性。
Low-temperature highly selective Kolbe electrolysis of acetic acid in bio-oil on a stable in situ grown RuO2/TiO2 at industrial-level current†
Acetic acid (AA) is abundant in biomass pyrolysis oil (bio-oil) but its presence can hinder the use and storage of bio-oil. In this study, we developed a highly stable in situ grown ruthenium dioxide (RuO2)/titanium dioxide (TiO2) catalyst for Kolbe electrolysis (KBE) at high current densities, converting AA to ethane (C2H6) with an 82% (±5%) selectivity. The RuO2/TiO2 catalyst sustained at least 150 hours of KBE at 100 mA cm−2, converting 3300 mmol of AA into 32.6 L of C2H6 with a faradaic efficiency of 74.1%. The selectivity for C2H6 remained high even in the presence of model bio-oil-relevant oxygenated phenolics and carbonyl compounds, and real bio-oil produced from corncob pyrolysis (88% selectivity for C2H6). In situ Raman spectroscopy was performed to examine catalytic events at the electrode interface and determine the unique selectivity toward AA during the KBE reaction.
