    • 摘要: 针对生物质吸收强化蒸汽重整过程中CaO基材料易出现烧结失活、循环稳定性下降的问题,本研究以松木锯末为原料,采用水热碳模板去除法制备了不同Ca2SiO4掺杂比例的空心球壳CaO基复合吸收剂,并在优化样品基础上引入10% Ni(质量分数),构建催化吸收一体化的复合材料。系统评估了材料的结构特征、CO2循环吸收性能及吸收强化制氢能力。结果表明,空心球壳结构与Ca2SiO4稳定骨架均有利于抑制CaO烧结、改善孔结构并提高循环稳定性,其中10% Ca2SiO4(质量分数)掺杂样品表现出最佳综合吸收性能。进一步引入10% Ni后,所得材料的产氢性能显著提升。经10次碳酸化−逆碳酸化循环后,H2产率仍保持1.80 mmol/(gbm·gmat·min)(gbm为单位质量生物质,gmat为单位质量复合材料),仅较初始值1.88 mmol/(gbm·gmat·min)下降4.32%,H2纯度由71.50%降至67.63%。研究表明,基于多晶态稳定剂调控和球壳形貌设计构建的CaO基复合材料,可同时提升CO2循环吸收能力与生物质吸收强化制氢稳定性,为高效CaO基功能材料的结构设计及绿色制氢方式提供了参考。

       

      Abstract: Biomass sorption-enhanced steam reforming is a promising route for the efficient conversion of biomass into H2-rich syngas by improving H2 selectivity and yield. This study investigates the design and performance of CaO-based hybrid materials for the sorption-enhanced steam reforming (SESR) of pine sawdust for H2 production. The hybrid materials were synthesized by incorporating different proportions of polymorphic Ca2SiO4 into CaO via a hydrothermal method followed by carbon-template removal. A homogeneous precursor solution containing Ni, Ca, and Si species was transferred into a 50 mL autoclave and subjected to hydrothermal treatment at 200 °C for 36 h. The obtained samples were then dried and calcined in air by heating to 800 °C at a rate of 5 °C·min−1, followed by a holding period of 2 h. After carbon-template removal, hollow-shell sorbents were obtained. The CO2 sorption capacity and cyclic stability of the undoped sorbents were evaluated, and 10 wt.% Ni was subsequently introduced into the optimized sample. The results indicate that Ca2SiO4 loading significantly affects the balance between CO2 uptake and cyclic stability. Among the tested sorbents, the sample containing 10 wt.% Ca2SiO4 exhibited the best overall performance, achieving the highest cumulative CO2 uptake over 10 cycles while maintaining relatively high CaO utilization. Structural characterization revealed that the stabilization effect of Ca2SiO4 arises both from the dilution of the active phase and from its role as a spatially distributed inert framework between CaO grains. The results from X-ray diffraction (XRD), Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) surface area analysis, and scanning electron microscopy with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM–EDS) consistently suggest that Ca2SiO4 was uniformly dispersed within the hollow shell. This distribution physically separated adjacent CaO particles, restricted grain growth during repeated carbonation and calcination, and helped preserve pore volume and accessible surface area. Consequently, this microstructural stabilization effectively suppressed sintering and delayed the loss of fast-reaction sites. Furthermore, Ni incorporation reduced the CaO crystallite size and improved the utilization of active CaO while preserving the hollow-shell morphology. Upon further doping with 10 wt.% Ni, both H2 production and purity were significantly enhanced compared with those of the undoped sorbents. After 10 carbonation cycles, the Ni10Ca9Si1-HS sorbent maintained a H2 yield of 1.80 mmol/(gbm·gmat·min), representing only a 4.32% decrease from the initial value of 1.88 mmol/(gbm·gmat·min). Meanwhile, the H2 purity decreased slightly from 71.50% to 67.63%, demonstrating excellent cyclic stability. This study demonstrates that morphological control and the use of polymorphic stabilizers are crucial for improving the cyclic stability of catalyst-sorbent hybrid materials for sustainable H2 production from biomass, providing guidance for the structural design of highly efficient CaO-based hybrid materials.
