Abstract

Abstract: The supported Pd-based catalyst is one of the most effective catalysts for the decomposition of formic acid into hydrogen, in which the N content of the carbon nitride support is relatively high. The carbon nitride prepared by one-step pyrolysis method is usually bulk, which makes it difficult to effectively disperse surface metal nanoparticles (NPs). Functionalized carbon nitride was obtained by pyrolyzing the urea precursor after solvation and used as a support. A functional carbon nitride-supported Pd-based catalyst (Pd/C₃N₄-F) was prepared by anion exchange and sodium borohydride direct reduction. The structure of the material was characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and the performance of the catalyst was tested by gas mass flow meter. Pd/C₃N₄-F has excellent catalytic performance for hydrogen production from formic acid decomposition and its initial TOF (total conversion frequency) value and mass specific activity at 30 ℃ are 1824 h^-1 and 17.14 mol_H₂/(g_Pd·h), respectively. The analysis of the product by gas chromatography (GS) shows that no by-product CO is formed, indicating that it has excellent selectivity. With the increase of temperature (30~40 ℃), the catalyst performance gradually improves

Key words: functionalized carbon nitride, decomposition of formic acid to produce hydrogen, heterogeneous catalysis, Pd nanoparticle, low loading
