电化学合成羟胺的研究进展
Research Progress on Electrochemical Synthesis of Hydroxylamine
摘要: 羟胺(NH2OH)是农业和化学工业的重要原料,广泛应用于药物合成、农药生产等领域,目前主要通过酮肟水解法和拉希法生产。然而,传统制备方法受到复杂程序、恶劣反应条件和严重污染的阻碍。电化学合成NH2OH具有反应条件温和、能耗低和环境友好等特点,在羟胺合成领域引起了人们的广泛关注。然而,通过这种途径选择性生产羟胺往往会受到氨和氢气的竞争反应的影响。为了应对这一挑战,设计先进的电催化剂来精确控制NO还原的产物选择性具有重要意义。
Abstract: Hydroxylamine (NH2OH) is an important raw material in the agricultural and chemical industries, widely used in fields such as pharmaceutical synthesis and pesticide production. Currently, it is primarily produced via the ketoxime hydrolysis method and the Raschig process. However, traditional preparation methods are hindered by complex procedures, harsh reaction conditions, and severe pollution. The electrochemical synthesis of NH2OH features mild reaction conditions, low energy consumption, and environmental friendliness, thus attracting considerable attention in the field of hydroxylamine production. Nevertheless, the selective production of hydroxylamine via this route is often compromised by competing reactions that yield ammonia and hydrogen. To address this challenge, it is of great significance to design advanced electrocatalysts for precisely controlling the product selectivity in the reduction of NO.
