    基于太阳能的热催化甲烷重整及共电解耦合系统研究

    Research on solar-based thermal catalytic methane reforming and co-electrolysis coupling systems

    • 摘要: 在“碳中和”背景下,甲烷与二氧化碳的协同转化被认为是实现温室气体减排与碳资源高值化利用的关键路径之一。然而,当前甲烷干重整过程能耗高、副反应严重、产物调控困难,而电催化CO2还原过程则存在温度匹配差、电能消耗大、反应效率低等问题。如何实现热源、电源与碳源的高效协同,构建一体化能源转化体系,成为该技术的重大挑战。为应对上述问题,提出了一种基于太阳能驱动的“甲烷协同重整−高温共电解”耦合系统。该系统利用光热催化将CH4与CO2、H2O共同转化为合成气,同时输出高温尾气,为下游共电解单元提供稳定热源与反应物,协同实现CO2与H2O的电还原,形成高效的碳转化路径。针对该系统,构建了热催化以及电催化双模块数值模型,系统分析其在不同进气温度、摩尔分数、进料比例等条件下的反应性能与能量利用效率。结果显示:协同重整系统可使甲烷转化率提高2.40%~64.83%,太阳能−燃料效率提升2.70%~53.92%;引入共电解系统后,电解效率显著提升,最高达99.47%,较常温条件下提高近30%;提高CO2进料比例有助于进一步增强系统整体协同效率。构建的热−电协同系统不仅有效打通了“热源−水源−碳源”链路,实现能量梯级利用和碳资源最大化转化,还为太阳能多能集成利用与绿色合成气平台的构建提供了理论基础和技术路径。

       

      Abstract: Under the backdrop of “carbon neutrality”, the synergistic conversion of methane and carbon dioxide is considered one of the key pathways to achieve greenhouse gas emissions reduction and high-value utilization of carbon resources. However, the current methane dry reforming process suffers from high energy consumption, severe side reactions, and difficulty in product control; while the electrocatalytic CO2 reduction process faces issues such as poor temperature matching, high electrical energy consumption, and low reaction efficiency. How to achieve efficient synergy among heat sources, power sources, and carbon sources, and establish an integrated energy conversion system, has become a major challenge in this field. To address the aforementioned issues, a solar-powered “methane co-reforming-high-temperature co-electrolysis” coupled system has been proposed. This system utilizes photothermal catalysis to simultaneously convert CH4, CO2, and H2O into synthesis gas, while also producing high-temperature exhaust gas to provide a stable heat source and reactants for the downstream co-electrolysis unit, thereby synergistically achieving the electrolytic reduction of CO2 and H2O, forming an efficient carbon conversion pathway. For this system, a dual-module numerical model of thermal catalysis and electrocatalysis was constructed to systematically analyze its reaction performance and energy utilization efficiency under different conditions such as intake temperature, mole fraction, and feed ratio. The results show that the synergistic reforming system can increase methane conversion rates by 2.40% to 64.83% and solar-to-fuel efficiency by 2.70% to 53.92%. After introducing the co-electrolysis system, the electrolysis efficiency is significantly improved, reaching a maximum of 99.47%, an increase of nearly 30% compared to ambient temperature conditions. Increasing the CO2 feed ratio further enhances the overall synergistic efficiency of the system. The thermo-electrochemical synergistic system constructed in this study not only effectively integrates the “heat source-water source-carbon source” chain, achieving hierarchical energy utilization and maximizing carbon resource conversion, but also provides a theoretical foundation and technical pathway for the construction of solar multi-energy integration utilization and green synthesis gas platforms.
