Enhanced NH₃ Adsorption Capacity of CuCl₂ by Changing the pore structure

Ammonia is an important carrier of hydrogen energy, with the characteristics of high hydrogen content density and no carbon dioxide emission. In recent years, many methods of ammonia synthesis using biomass have been widely studied to improve ammonia yield. Therefore, safe and efficient ammonia capture for ammonia synthesis from biomass is an important way to alleviate the energy crisis and solve the energy problem. In this paper, the NH 3 adsorption properties of CuCl 2 were measured, and the composite adsorbents were prepared by using silicon and multi-walled carbon nanotubes respectively to support CuCl 2 , and the NH 3 adsorption properties of the composite adsorbents were studied. The study found that the NH 3 adsorption capacity of the three adsorbents decreased with the increase in temperature, so metal chlorides were more suitable for the low-temperature adsorption of ammonia. Silicon and multi-walled carbon nanotubes have an enhanced effect on the NH 3 adsorption of CuCl 2 . The reason is that the porous material itself has a physical adsorption effect on ammonia, and silicon can play the role of skeleton support in cupric chloride particles, which enhances the pore structure of the adsorbent, thereby alleviating sintering.
