In-Situ Conversion of Martian Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide into Fuel(methanol)

  • 摘要: 面向火星原位资源利用中CO2加氢制甲醇的应用需求,针对传统氧化物负载Cu基催化剂活性中心组成不均一、局部结构难以准确调节、易伴随CO副产物生成以及甲醇产率不足等问题,本文选取富含羟基位点的金属有机框架MOF-808作为载体,先通过去质子化过程锚定碱金属(M = Na、K、Cs),再借助碱金属位点的迁移和交换作用引入Cu物种,构建了含相邻双活性中心的MOF-808-MCu系列催化剂。CO2加氢评价表明,优化后的MOF-808-MCu催化剂具有明显提升的甲醇生成能力,其中MOF-808-NaCu的甲醇时空收率达到245 g kgcat–1 h–1,远高于未引入碱金属的MOF-808-Cu单位点催化剂(22 g kgcat–1 h–1)。该研究为面向火星大气CO2直接转化的高效催化剂设计提供了新的思路,也为燃料原位合成技术的发展提供了可借鉴的材料路线。

     

    Abstract: CO2 hydrogenation to methanol is a promising route for in-situ utilization of Martian atmospheric carbon dioxide, yet conventional oxide-supported Cu catalysts usually contain non-uniform active sites and poorly controlled local structures, which can lead to CO by-product formation and limited methanol productivity. In this work, a hydroxyl-rich metal-organic framework, MOF-808, was employed as a structurally defined support. Alkali metals(M = Na, K, Cs) were first introduced through deprotonation, and Cu species were subsequently incorporated with the assistance of the alkali-metal sites, affording a series of dual-site MOF-808-MCu catalysts. The optimized catalysts, especially MOF-808-NaCu, showed markedly enhanced CO2 hydrogenation performance, delivering a methanol space-time yield of 245 g·kgcat–1·h–1, much higher than that of alkali-free MOF-808-Cu(22 g·kgcat–1·h–1). Characterization and theoretical calculations indicate that the alkali promoters strengthen CO2 adsorption and activation near Cu sites, thereby favoring methanol formation and suppressing CO generation. These findings clarify the promoting role of neighboring alkali-metal sites in dual-site catalysis and offer a material-design strategy for efficient CO2 conversion toward future Mars exploration applications.
