Functional analysis of heteroatom-doped carbon materials for effective trace CO adsorption
CHEMICAL ENGINEERING JOURNAL(2024)
摘要
CO adsorbent production from carbonaceous sources remains challenging in developing straightforward synthesis strategies for functional carbon materials that enhance CO-selective adsorption and oxidation resistance of Cu1+ ions. We synthesized different heteroatom-doped carbon supports by a simple pyrolysis method, employing carbon, nitrogen, and boron atom precursors to modify Cu1+ ion's adsorptive characteristics for CO. The CN ligands from N-doped carbon improved dispersion and stabilization of 30 wt% Cu1+ ions, impregnated from CuCl solution. This led to high CO adsorption uptake -33 cm3/g at 100 kPa with 86 % adsorption stability after 30day air exposure. Unexpectedly, even after being impregnated with 30 wt% Cu1+ ions, N-doped carbon still occupied extra free N-sites with CO2-affinity, resulting in inferior CO/CO2 adsorption selectivity -1.1 at 100 kPa. To address this, B, N-co-doped carbon with increased surface acidity was investigated as CO2-repellent support for improving CO-selective adsorption without overuse of costly CuCl. With the fixed 30 wt% Cu1+-impregnation, additional B loading as 5 wt% on N-doped carbon raised CO/CO2 selectivity from 1.1 to 2.6 at 100 kPa via acid-acid repulsion between CO2 and B-species. This co-doping effect was remarkable in low-pressure adsorption, highly improving CO/CO2 selectivity to 79 at 0.4 kPa for effective trace CO capture.
