With the excessive exploitation of traditional fossil energy, the reserves of fossil energy are continuously tightened, and the energy crisis and environmental problems are getting more severe in the world today. Therefore, the strategy of researching sustainable and renewable new energy sources to replace the traditional non-renewable energy sources is urgent for human beings. As a renewable non-fossil fuel carbon source, biomass is a very valuable alternative to fossil energy, and has been increasingly regarded as a biomass energy source.
5-Hydroxymethylfurfural (5-hydroxymethyfurfurfurral) is an important platform compound and can be used as a biomass carbohydrate to replace one of intermediate monomers of organic compounds in the petroleum industry; after being hydrogenated or oxidized, the bio-fuel oil can generate bio-fuel oil and a series of derivative chemical products which can be used as partial substitutes of petrochemical products which are consumed in large quantity at present. For example, the oxidation product 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (2, 5-furyldicarbonyl) of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural is one of twelve important biomass platform compounds listed in the U.S. department of energy, can be used as a monomer for preparing various biomass-based polymers, and has application prospects in organic synthesis and biopharmaceutical fields.
At present, in the traditional method for preparing 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid by catalytic oxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural, the mainly used catalyst is a noble metal catalyst such as platinum (Pt), palladium (Pd) and gold (Au); there is also the catalytic production of 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid by means of carbon electrode materials. The existing method has certain limitations, which are mainly reflected in that the cost of the noble metal catalyst is high or the reaction needs high temperature and high pressure; and the traditional carbon paper carbon felt and other porous carbon electrode materials have low mechanical strength and short cycle service life, while the traditional graphite and glassy carbon electrode materials have small specific surface area and high manufacturing cost. Therefore, a new catalytic oxidation technology needs to be developed to overcome the problems of high catalytic cost and the like in the catalytic oxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural.

The preparation method comprises the steps of firstly preparing the chitosan aerogel, wherein the chitosan aerogel is used as a raw material, and preparing the porous light solid material through sol-gel and freeze drying. Chitosan (chitosan) is a product of chitin N-deacetylation, and is derived from the carapace of marine arthropods such as shrimps and crabs, the carapace of insects, the cell membranes of fungi and algae, the carapace and skeleton of mollusks, and the cell walls of higher plants. Chitin is widely distributed in nature, the reserve is only behind cellulose, and is the second most natural polymer, the amount of chitin biosynthesis is about 100 hundred million tons every year, and the chitin is a recyclable renewable resource.

In the specific embodiment of the invention, 2 g-5 g of chitosan powder can be dispersed in 50mL of water, and a small amount of acetic acid is added dropwise while stirring to dissolve the chitosan; freeze-drying the obtained chitosan gel in a vacuum freeze-drying machine at the temperature of-80 ℃ for 96-168 h; the obtained light chitosan aerogel is cut into blocks of 5cm multiplied by 1cm, or the obtained light chitosan aerogel is cut into blocks of 2cm multiplied by 1 cm.
Generally, chitosan aerogels in the present application have densities of 0.05 to 0.12g/cm3Preferably, the standard is that no ice crystal exists in the aerogel after freeze drying; the chitosan aerogel porosity is not particularly limited by the present application.
In addition, the phenolic resin is used as a precursor, and can be subsequently pyrolyzed into glassy carbon (which can be referred to as glassy carbon and glassy carbon for short, and amorphous carbon with a glassy shape), so that the foamed carbon has a reinforcing and stabilizing effect; the glassy carbon is simultaneously beneficial to improving the catalytic loading sites, the conductivity and the like of the foam carbon substrate.
The embodiment of the invention compounds the chitosan aerogel with phenolic resin: specifically, phenols, formaldehyde and an alkaline catalyst can be dissolved in water to obtain a solution containing phenolic resin, and the solution is soaked in the chitosan aerogel; heating the soaked chitosan aerogel at a temperature below 100 ℃.

Preferably, the process requires strict control of the seal drying time, and too short or too long seal heating time can cause incomplete curing or water softening of the material.
In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, after the heating is completed, the scraps on the chitosan block can be scraped off, and the composite precursor substance is heated at 900 to 1000 ℃ in an inert gas atmosphere for pyrolysis, so as to obtain the biochar-based rigid carbon foam containing glassy carbon.

Comparative example 2
2.2g of rasol, 3g of formaldehyde solution and 5mg of sodium carbonate are dissolved in 2mL of water and ultrasonically mixed for 10min, and transferred to a mold. The mold filled with the resin solution is placed in a sealed environment and heated at 70 ℃ for 36h, and then the mold is transferred to a ventilated environment and dried and heated at 70 ℃ for 12 h.

FIGS. 1 and 2 are XRD and Raman spectrum characterization results of scraping debris on the surface of a synthetic biochar-based rigid foam carbon substrate in example 1; which highly exhibits a low degree of graphitization and a high degree of atomic disorder. FIG. 3 is an SEM micrograph of chips with very smooth fractured surfaces. These properties are well consistent with those of glassy carbon, indicating that the carbon material is present in the form of glassy carbon on the surface of the charcoal-based rigid foam carbon substrate.

The synthesized charcoal-based hard foam carbon substrate-supported hydrotalcite-based catalyst is directly used as a working electrode, an Hg/HgO electrode is used as a reference electrode, a platinum sheet electrode is used as a counter electrode, and the electrolyte is 0.1MKOH solution.
To facilitate the comparison of OER catalytic performance, the reference potential measured was converted to the reversible hydrogen electrode potential, E, according to the following formulaRHE=EHg/HgO+0.059*pH+E0 Hg/HgO. Before testing the electrocatalytic oxygen production performance, 20 circles of cyclic voltammetry scanning pretreatment are carried out, so that the electrode reaches a stable state, and the scanning speed is 25 mV/s. After stabilization, the electrode was scanned polarographically at a scan rate of 1mV/s over a scan range of 0 to 1.0V (vs. Hg/HgO reference electrode). It was found that example 2 had a current density of 10mA/cm2The electrocatalytic oxygen generation over-potential is about 370mV, the Tafel slope is about 46.3mV/dec, and the charge transfer resistance is 4.13 Ω. (generally, the lower the charge transfer resistance, the better the effect of loading the active component)
Example 3:
the NiFe catalytic electrode manufactured in example 2 was used.
And 5-testing the electrochemical performance of the electrocatalytic oxidation of the hydroxymethylfurfural:
to investigate the OER performance of the catalyst materials, tests were performed with a three-electrode system using the CHI-660C electrochemical workstation. The synthesized biochar-based hard foam carbon substrate-supported hydrotalcite-based catalyst is directly used as a working electrode, an Hg/HgO electrode is used as a reference electrode, a platinum sheet electrode is used as a counter electrode, and the used electrolyte is a mixed solution of 0.1MKOH and 10mM 5-hydroxymethylfurfural.

Finally, samples were analyzed using HPLC to give 5-hydroxymethylfurfural conversion and 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid yield. The conversion rate of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural and 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid is continuously increased along with the increase of time, when the reaction is carried out for 3 hours, the conversion rate of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural is 75 percent, and the yield of 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid is 62 percent; when the reaction is carried out for 6 hours, the conversion rate of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural is 95 percent, and the yield of 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid is 70 percent.
In addition, the application compares the electrocatalytic oxidation performance of the NiFe catalytic electrode of example 2 with other types of hydrotalcite-based catalysts on 5-hydroxymethylfurfural. Wherein the concentration of the 5-hydroxymethylfurfural is 10 mM; the same surface area of the binary LDH material with different components supported on the foamed carbon substrate is used, and the electrocatalytic oxidation is carried out on 5-hydroxymethylfurfural with the concentration of 10mM under the same reaction condition and voltage. Different catalysts were prepared by using a carbon foam electrode substrate having the same size as that of example 2, and by changing the metal salt component added in the hydrothermal treatment in example 2, hydrotalcite-based catalysts having different compositions (e.g., NiCo, NiCu, etc.) were synthesized. Other properties were consistent with the catalytic electrode of example 2, except for the difference in the supported active ingredient.
The concentrations of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural and the product 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid in the solution after three hours of reaction were selected, and the yield of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF conversion/%) and the selectivity of 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA selectivity/%) obtained were calculated.
See table 1 for results; the LDH of the NiFe binary component has the best 5-hydroxymethylfurfural yield and 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid selectivity, so the nickel-iron binary LDH material is preferred in the application.

Example 7:

And (3) testing the performance of producing oxygen by electrocatalysis water decomposition:
to compare the OER performance of the foamed carbon substrates, tests were performed with a three-electrode system using a CHI-660C electrochemical workstation.

Example 8:
the substrate 2 prepared in comparative example 1 was loaded with a hydrotalcite-based catalyst in the same manner as in example 2 to obtain a glassy carbon catalytic electrode (electrode 1 for short). The experiment of the electrode 1 and the catalytic electrode prepared in example 2 (referred to simply as the electrode 2) was repeated in accordance with the experimental method of electrocatalytic oxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural in example 2.
FIG. 9 is a low-magnification Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) photograph of the NiFe catalytic electrode of example 2, and FIG. 10 is a low-magnification Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) photograph of the electrode 1 of example 8 (showing substantial exfoliation after multiple reactions). Compared with a smooth surface, the rough surface of the foam carbon can provide a larger specific surface area, and the hydrotalcite catalytic layer on the foam carbon is in a shape of a coiled folding, so that the specific surface area and the catalytic loading sites are further improved.

In addition, the embodiment of the invention uses a hydrothermal coprecipitation method to load the layered double hydroxide catalytic active component, and the synthesis method is simple and easy to implement and consumes less energy.
In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the layered double hydroxide shows excellent electrocatalytic oxidation performance on 5-hydroxymethylfurfural, and can rapidly and selectively complete the oxidation of a target product.
